Creativity is a mixture of imitation, recombination and revolution. Very rarely does something novel spring forth from a vacuum. I think AI is very good at the first two. However, the third is something else. It takes an artist/enginee

Entrapment is the process by which police ask or induce you to commit a crime. For instance, if a police officer gives you 20$ to assault someone, then that is entrapment. However, if the police simply stand on a likely corner and you assau

This is one thing I keep running into. Every body is different. I really wish there were some diagnostic we could run that would tell us what diet to use rather than constantly having to try a hundred different things.

While I don't know anything about improving air quality, I've found potted plants to be relaxing. Something about being around plants makes my brain happy.

You still need a governance model for the mesh. IP, NAT, anti-DDOS, certificate authorities, emergency services, phone network integration, etc... Otherwise you just end up with the worlds biggest open wifi network. About as safe as a hat f

I think we could have saved a lot of grief just making Pluto an honorary planet. c. Has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit excepting Pluto.

I think the technology is already there to hook into a 5g network and repeat it. However, you would need to create a network "Provider" for the mesh. Then you would need to connect all the nodes. In the end you have made one more

Yes it is possible. However, it would probably require regulatory changes. It would really suck to have your internet shutdown because someone was pirating movies on the mesh.

There is just something terribly romantic about solar sails. I've loved sailing since reading a Wizard of Earthsea. The fact that you can do it in space just makes the dopamine centers in my brain light up. I can imagine astronauts cyc

I had a friend who would be caught regularly and ticketed. Suspended license and everything. He still drove everywhere and did so like a D-Bag. I love the idea of making traffic enforcement way more strict, but it would be better if we coul

Mode filters are a great way to fix this problem. No one will use a private street as a through road if they can't get anywhere outside the neighborhood. Bonus points if you make it so emergency vehicles can get through them.

by foxyv 2y ago
That's my next suggestion, just ban private vehicles from streets, enforce with automated bollards and bang! No speeding.

Agreed, especially the ones with slip lanes. I keep seeing people make left turns at roundabouts going the wrong way or just going straight through.

To be honest, having a breathalyzer on every car wouldn't be a horrible thing. This thing just pops up a warning like your TPMS sensors, it doesn't prevent you from going faster.

The residential street that comes to mind is within 20 miles of two drag strips. People just did it to be turds and because they could.

I completely agree.

That sounds like a wonderful idea.

Multi-use paths, bus lanes, and bike lanes are excellent for emergency vehicles. Also, generally speaking, emergency vehicles aren't supposed to speed. A lot of ambulances have speed governors to prevent going too fast. Also, a lot of

Yup! Bonus points if you can make the road feel more dangerous without actually making it more dangerous. Obstacles that damage paint and bumpers or make disturbing noises without hurting occupants are great. Stuff like K-rails and Flexi-po

I personally prefer chicanes, bump outs, and roundabouts. Speed bumps suck.

My brother did 108MPH in a non-turbo PT Cruiser 4 cylinder. It would have happily gone faster if there wasn't a speed limiter.

Or we could build our roads so that people can't comfortably drive 100MPH with zero feeling of danger. I've seen people drag racing on residential streets because they are 50 feet wide with clear zones on each side. We need more t

To be fair, the last time someone explored a discrepancy between known physics and empirical observation we got quantum mechanics and relativity. There is a commonly held belief that as observations outpace theory that we'll have a sim

Newton's gravitation is still pretty relevant today. Only in special circumstances is relativity necessary. I wonder if Dark Matter and Dark Energy will be just as relevant in the future?

I think they can also just be an unknown phenomena. They don't need to be literal mass or energy. Essentially, to fit our current model to observations of how our galaxies and the universe in general behave, we need to add mass and ene

As I understand it, dark matter and dark energy are just placeholders for discrepancies between our current physical model and observations made by telescopes like Hubble and Kepler. This could mean either that our measurements are inaccura
