Looked up Sweden because I haven't really even given it a thought here. Hard to do real statistics when some years it is 0 and other 6... Averages to 15 warning shots and 15 shots aimed at the person per year. Scaling to the US size (x

Scroll down a bit for the graph contrasting violent crime rate per 1K population (according to some metric) to police killings per 1M population. Really interesting seeing absolutely no correlation.

It would be amazing to have it live in perfect quality, completely agree. I found this video in some other comment and I think it highlights how incredibly violent the landings actually are, even from very far away https://www.yo

Yes, shakes the whole rig causing the satellite dishes to not transmit most of the times. Last time they missed we got a perfectly streamed cloud from the booster crashing in the ocean instead. Also such a low priority, spend engineering ho

Depends on the mission, for something like this it deorbits fairly quickly due to the drag of the low orbit. To geostationary transfer orbit it takes longer but the periapsis (lowest point) is low enough to slowly deorbit it. Then we have l

I feel this is a big difference between the US and Europe in many cases with the difference being the US system is scared to actually face the questions. It's all conventions and traditions that has become culture and unchangeable, wit

No it could not just fly fine, it is to comply with regulations regarding stick forces when approaching stalls. Putting it on a new type certificate would have meant that all the old designs and solutions that today are grandfathered in by

I guess it comes back to if you do a cumulative weighting or have different buckets, especially regarding soft things like extra curricular activities. Where I went to uni we simply have two different buckets which the schools can change ar

Really love this paragraph on the Shuttle Training Aircraft wikipedia page. To match the descent rate and drag profile of the real Shuttle at 37,000 feet (11,300 m), the main landing gear of the C-11A was lowered (the nose gear stayed retr

For that to work you need to get the spread down to workable numbers again, which hasn't happened with the current lock down. It's in the limbo of too harsh to actually use the medical resources but too light to set it on a quickl

Then what do you suggest? Lock down for 1-2 years to turn widespread community transmission into eradication? If hospitals aren't at capacity what is the problem? How many people at the lowest of the lowest rung on the ladder being pus

The "put the genie back in the bottle" train left the station in February/March. Now this is just outrage at the sake of outrage, starting to feel almost like a religion.

What makes that question even harder is when you take into account the huge body of people back in January which were right at the margin of famine. When supply chains stop how will the lowest of the lowest on the ladder cope? "About

I've seen it mentioned with sources on /r/COVID19 a bunch of times. I think this is the study they might have been referring to? And this is antibodies, not the memory cells mentioned above. https://www.ncbi.nlm.ni

SARS, another corona virus immunity lasts for 3-4 years on average with some cases up to 11 years. So it wouldn't be surprising at all with at least 1-3 years of immunity for people who had more serious infections.

That's an interesting and important point. Luckily it seems to mutate 10x slower than influenza viruses and so far no different strains have been found. Finding new strains would also thwart some of the current work on vaccines being d

Because they in the next breath said it had potential to become a pandemic if no intervention is done? At the same time declaring it an emergency outbreak of a novel virus? Words have meaning, and pandemic a very specific one. Would you hav

Exactly what I'm getting at. They tend to use similar mechanisms, though vaccine being the more or less completely safe path. What could alter the course though is if some treatment is found which makes it essentially harmless, even if

How can a vaccine ever work if it's impossible to develop immunity by reacting to it?

The commission is indirectly elected. Your democratically elected leaders propose the commission, i.e. the Council of the European Union [0]. I guess in US terms it could be thought of as more similar to the senate? After being proposed the

True, haven't looked at the data in some time but the breakeven point in regards to LCA comes fairly early though when comparing against ICE cars.

This is mostly the US because the externalities aren't taxed. In EU the taxes on gas are much higher. With VAT and everything Sweden currently has $4.5 per gallon, down from $5.8 last autumn, this makes any electric car much more compe

It's the difference between IFR and CFR. The IFR is the infection fatality rate meaning everyone in the population who has been infected. The CFR is the case fatality rate, those who are sick enough to show up at a hospital, or well, g
