Many people haven't experienced dictatorships or authoritarian regimes. So their view of this is painted in relative terms, not absolute. Things got worse, things look more and more like what they hear from dictatorships so they draw a

You can do that very easily right now without the need to store the DNA. So it seems like the least consequential thing you could "win" from a system that stores DNA data from every single citizen. If we're to dig to find s

That makes sense, it's one of the few armies which has been involved in one war or another, at scale, for the last several decades. Practice makes perfect. And this is probably the only way such an organization can evolve, just like a

We'd probably be better off using the "sliding/rolling" terminology which is analogous but clearer and more intuitive when dealing with wheels.

> You can brake with more than 0.67 g. Of course you can but we're not talking about G-forces. That's a coefficient of friction [0], a dimensionless measure. It's determined empirically literally by rubbing things together
473.

Well that and the fact that rubber melts and that changes some coefficients. Nothing about braking is as simple as one formula. P.S. Isn't the static coefficient calculated for a stationary object trying to move against a surface? In a

by buran77 3y ago
It does but not because it influences friction at the wheel contact point (the mass cancels out in that formula). If braking is done entirely in "wheels locked" fashion then all that matters is the friction coefficient between the

by buran77 3y ago
In motion the friction coefficient of rubber on asphalt (0.67) is not that far off from steel on steel (0.57) according to the internet [0]. That orders of magnitude difference in braking distance is more a result of train cars weighing 30-

Let's draw a more complete picture with "car XC60 diesel" which needs 65 litres to cover 1000km. It's maybe 20% more efficient and 20% cheaper than car A, and with even cheaper fuel. Yet you picked your less efficient,

Your logic is still... lacking. I don't say it lightly but it might be the worst case of obtuseness I've seen in many years of HN. You mix and match units when calculating a ratio of efficiency and it gets you meaningless conclusi
