Yes, according to that article. What I'm driving at is that making an arbitrary change based on how drivers react to an improper restriction may in fact lead to imposing another improper and arbitrary restriction. A change of 5 mph eit

I found myself disagreeing with the premise that highway speed limits don't influence people's driving speed. I may simply be part of the 15%, but consider the following anecdata: On I-90 in upstate NY, the "speed limit"

This is an interesting question and answer. I personally believe that legislation will be forced to change so that de jure can more closely resemble de facto... But this will not happen (anytime soon) while NY lawmakers think they can tax

As I understand it, laying pipe is the fundamentally high cost of expanding or rebuilding a network. The cable itself has a non-negligible cost, but getting zoning and town permissions, securing land for junction cabinets, and digging throu

I agree, and I suspect that it's likely "a cop stops $unsavory_character and wants to charge him with something; as his possession of marijuana is no longer illegal, he must choose something more contrived."

Your quote includes Wal-mart greeters and burger flippers. I don't find it hard to believe that white collar professionals put in over 50 hours a week on average. My experience is in engineering for manufacturing.

This is a fair perspective. I propose that the scientific community's collective stance is not that this is a wild deviation from typical variations, but that a significant change will result in unfavorable consequences for humanity as

I agree that a device which can do all these is an excellent choice for students. As an engineering student, I used all of the above versatility on my HP TX2510US, and dealt with the burns that the poor heat management gave me :-) I haven&#

A number of consumer scales use some form of electrical pulse timing to determine the composition of tissue in the feet, which is extrapolated for the body. For these results to be meaningful, you have to be very consistent with your hydrat

I would like to endorse the idea of tutoring; it can have the free benefit of having your pupil help you with pronunciation. I would like to expand on point 2. If you make a point to introduce yourself all around and don't interact oth

This is a very interesting perspective. What do you think is the next step? I am asking for an educated guess, or even interested speculation; people in the middle of the bronze age likely didn't know that steel was the next step until

I don't understand how this is relevant to the conversation at hand. I had assumed that we were discussing this topic with the assumption that we can make full use of first world resources, so we should have a capable, (mostly) reliabl

This video series is much more interesting than I anticipated. Of particular interest was how the pacing, concept introduction, and simplification was handled. This video is approachable and affords a high-level overview of a very complex

I propose that the polarization of the opinions on this thread are due to the relationship between the relevance of the announcement and the time it'll take to become a mainstream polarizing issue. I tend to lurk on HN, mostly because

I didn't even see that at first, although now that I look at it... I kind of like the term "block box". It takes a black box, and defines it in terms of how it's used, not what it does. It is a block that can be impleme

Do it yourself! There are plenty of folks who have instrumented their old cars, both for curiosity's sake and to improve them. I'm looking at adding a sequential fuel injection system to my vehicle a la www.diyefi.org among others

I propose that GP is closer to the truth than you may believe. All of the modern logistical systems in place (in the US) are based on embedded controls. Train switching is hugely important for freight, and there hasn't been an 18-wheel

I didn't get a sense of justification for spending more to achieve quality from this article. It seemed more focused on habits and pickiness which can lead to (or result from) creativity.

It should be noted that there's a difference between the old-tech viscous coupling approach and the cutting edge dual-clutch sequential transmission. The old-tech viscous coupling was lossy and difficult to control. Even when you can m
