Would this Waymo incident be counted as an injury? Sounds like the victim was relatively unharmed? Presumably there are human-driver incidents like this where a car hits a child at low speeds, with effectively no injuries, but is never re

Are there indications that Waymo vehicles are sitting around idle? If so, then yes, they should reduce the price to attract customers. If they are essentially running at capacity with their current prices, why wouldn't they charge mo

This is the first time I've heard that cemeteries are offensive. I'd guess that people are too isolated if cemeteries are "confronting them with death".

This is not my area. I've never seen powers of pi used in geometry or anywhere else for that matter. Where is a good introductory resource for geometry that uses powers of pi? Why does the tau mass need the natural log of 10?

What if I like Euler's number better than pi? e^4 + 5*e^2 + 16*e + 2*e^0 = 137.03594 That's a lot closer to 137.035999177 than the pi approximation (137.03630) EDIT better yet: 3*e^4 - 5*e^3 + 20*e^2 - 28*e
