This will happen, of course, but shouldn't last long. Also momentum of the tracked object should help. Btw, funny that my comment above attracted so much hatred. Didn't want to sound like a know-it-all but yes, at least in the cas

Seems pretty silly to try to classify a ball as a round object, period. A ball is a round object that doesn't sit on someone's shoulders.

No, I didn't look at the link- you could have at least described what it contained. I gave it a quick look, but frankly it would take me a lot of time to check if the model and assumptions make sense (it also seems to reply "job f

The cost of wind turbines has little to do with the cost of ensuring that the power plant will provide a set amount of 100% renewable energy all the time . Because when the wind is not blowing the plant has either to provide energy from a

What really annoys me of the post is that it resorts to exact the same emotional arguments that generated follies like CoC in the first place. "My emotional resilience was low"... "I tried to hold back tears"... Come on.

After all the gifts that Trump gave to Israel- probably in part pushed by his son in law Jared Kushner- the suggestion that Trump might be antisemitic is hilarious, just hilarious.

I don't see anything stunning in the NYT article- it is a very early view on an emerging political phenomenon on the other side of the ocean- certainly in a world pretty different from our own, one where open display of racism and poli

A lot of things that used to be imperceptible are now perceptible thanks to precise measurements and systematic, complete and reliable written records. For example, an average change in temperatures of 1 degree over one century used to be i

The very notion of "intrinsic value" is nonsense. There is no such thing. The "intrinsic value" of a bucket of rice can be enormous if you're starving, and yet it's practically null now. The "intrinsic val

It's not that you're not paying for your commute. It's that the company is no longer not paying you for those 1 or 2 hours you spend every day to go to your workplace and back.
