It's _better_ for the EU to define these things. If the EU hasn't done it centrally, member states would be doing it individually. This way: 1) You get a single definition of cucumber class 2C for every country, rather than a b

It won't be the same for all, but my car won't autorestart the engine if I've opened the door i.e. the behaviour changes from - pull up, shift to neutral, engine stops - wait - car worries about battery, restarts engine to -

Correct. There are several levels at which this applies: Phone hardware (microphones, speakers) are only calibrated to detect 'useful' frequencies for human speech. The sampling rate used by audio codecs tend to cut off _before_

Uninterested != intolerant You can scream your opinion on topic X all day long, but no one has to listen. That doesn't make them intolerant.

I've introduced confusion here by talking about leaning left. I should have said 'shift your weight such that the bike leans left'. See my other comment for a fuller explanation.

I shouldn't have mentioned 'leaning left'. If I'm in contact with the top of my bike and not steering the bars, I can either push the top of the bike left or right. I push the top of the bike to the left. The bike and

I'd like to especially highlight your 'at speed' point here. It's often claimed that _all_ steering on a bike requires countersteering, but that is false. Countersteering allows rapid change of direction, but if you&#x

(also in the UK) Completely agree with your closing remark. By and large, by deciding to not care about stopping cars getting in front of me, it doesn't bother me when they do. Any delay is completely negligible.

I second this. There are three scenarios if I'm not overtaking: 1) I'm going faster than the vehicle in front. In this case, it doesn't matter if another vehicle pulls in between us because I'm about to overtake anyway.

My understanding is that the eye doesn't have a great dynamic range, but our brain tricks us (as with a lot of vision). When looking at dark things, we can't make out bright detail and vice versa. As soon as you look at a bright

Not much better. I believe a bunch (all?) of ESA launches go from French Guiana, so my guess is that might be the easiest place to go for orbital launches for a British company.

You may have tried this / it may not help. We have dedicated help channels - a company-wide 'help' (for anything, but normally related to technical issues or looking for general advice on a topic where you don't know wh

This seems to me like an incredibly good example, and I've no idea why people would be downvoting it. The GP programming / technical examples are potentially easier for the reader to think "well sometimes I'd want to br

It's not the same in the important way: research shows we enjoy experiences more than owning extra things. No one's saying "I'll go on holiday to Spain because that's unique, whereas a $500 handbag isn't&quot

I think you might be replying to someone else - I didn't suggest you were in the top 1% wealth-wise; just had the potential to be 'wealthy'? Responding to a few individual points: Take the 100k amount -> after tax income i

A 'high 5 figures' of £80,000 puts you at the 96% mark according to https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/percentile-points-f... . The only argument you have for not being 'wealthy' is that y

Short answers ( opinions ): No, it isn't necessary to state any of those. No, I wouldn't say tech is beautiful for that reason. That reason would apply to anything anyone creates, which renders it a bit empty. No, it probably isn

Which countries have minimum speed limits? Not the US or UK to my knowledge? (Yes, there are plenty of other countries, but those seem to be the two most discussed here)

The cyclists were on the road that has priority, whereas the motorists were on roads were they are required to give way. Should the road user who has priority give way to the road user who doesn't?

What maths? I don't see what I'm missing: Normal acceleration and maintaining speed is trivial to handle with simple control loops. This isn't like e.g. phase detect autofocus where you want to supply a single input at the

Can someone explain what I'm seeing? As far as I can tell, both those links really do leave me on DDG webpages. The only requests according to firebug are to duckduckgo.com. What am I missing (or has this since been fixed)?

It's worth metioning that this distribution system is decided by the UK government (or possibly Eng/Scot etc governements). The EU allocates subsidy to the member nations according to one system (not accounting for e.g. bigger he

$15,000 per child per year * 2 classrooms * 2 children per class room = $600,000 per year, not $300k. Knocking off 100k for <foo> leaves 500k between the 5 staff, which is 100k each.

The whole comment is written with fewer articles than you'd expect for good English - my guess is that the commenter is not a native speaker, rather than trying to be cutesy.
