The sci-fi tech I've wanted for years is a liquid crystal windshield that blacks out a small circle over the sun from the driver's perspective while leaving the rest of the windshield clear. Driving west in the evening or east i

That's my understanding. But the collapsing bubbles are next to the cartilage I believe, and it seems to me should therefore be causing cavitation erosion. When cavitation erodes a boat's propeller, the cavitation is occurring

The building I currently live in has carpeted stairways with painted walls. It's far from an art gallery, but I think it still demonstrates that you're right; stairways in commercially viable buildings do not need to be nearly s

> "ostracize them in real life." Are they not already though? I suppose it's always possible to go even further, but I'm not convinced that would work. Perhaps it would be instructive to consider how obese peopl

North American != American. For that matter, many in Central and South America take exception to the term "American" being applied to USA citizens. So the term "American" can in some contexts be ambiguous. However &qu

If using readline in vi-mode, I recommend also setting `set show-mode-in-prompt on` to provide visual feedback on which mode you're in. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I walk away from a repl for quite a while (weeks sometimes

If it's an order of magnitude larger than one, then it's probably a pointless exercise anyway. What mortal can honestly say they're attentively watching 10 streams at once? A car accident can happen in the blink of an eye

Both atomic bombings, the Daigo Fukuryū Maru, and the Fukushima disaster come to mind. Perhaps a better question is why wouldn't people with a personal connection to Japan be wary of nuclear contamination? Or 'why don't
