I suppose it makes sense, otherwise the smells from our breath and most recent meals digestion would mix with and confuse our sense of the smells surrounding us. I'm definitely glad we have this feature first thing in the morning befor

Climbing Mt Fuji in Japan is a reasonably serious climb (for ordinary people). At 3600m you need to think about altitude acclimitisation and it's best to sleep overnight on the way up. The achievement is only undermined by the fact tha

The same reason you can see perfectly out of sunglasses with mesh lenses - basically light behaves like a wave so small gaps have little to no effect.

Providing a place to live for people has no value? What a ridiculous assertion.

He gives an analogy in the next sentence that explains exactly why "We can't build cars either". Production lines are not general purpose. There are also extremely high standards to be met for medical devices.

This comment reads like someone who worked with the language very briefly. The gripes are all things beginners might say and aren't real issues. This isn't a critique that's really worth giving much thought to. "A pile o

It's a bad angle, the lifeguard had a much better view. The lifeguard was actually quite slow to react to that one though.

I find that HGVs and busses are the main danger, they have huge blind spots right where cyclists are. Traffic in cities usually isn't fast enough for a big speed differential.

How does that work if the cyclist is going straight and cars are turning across them (e.g. Making a right turn). Does it not make it harder for the traffic to see the cyclist?

If just one wheel fails on a car travelling at 100km/h on a road with oncoming traffic you're very unlikely to survive either.

From April 2nd. Not that things are looking any better now, "no deal" is probably more likely now than it was then.

I don't think this is aimed at people doing certification though, it seems like it's more for the prototyping stage. It doesn't matter if the device isn't fully calibrated in that case.

Sure they do, in most C-like languages || is OR and && is AND. For OR, from 1 | 0 = 1 It's a small step to generalise to N | 0 = N (~max) and then N | N-1 = N (max) The same goes for &
