Fatality rates drop dramatically with lowered speed. I have yet to see an emergency situation where acceleration makes any difference. Brakes are often an order of magnitude more powerful than the car's engine.

Speed governors have worked for much longer than the history of computers. For geo-fencing you don't need GPS and can use proximity. However, I'm pretty sure you would use a very inexpensive microcontroller with GPS in addition to

Most rental scooters are geo-fenced so people don't zip around walking paths at 20+mph. Edit: Here is a quick link https://www.li.me/blog/lime-introduces-new-geofencing-techno...

There is one safety feature that would universally make cars safer and not require radar or computers. Just simple speed governors based on geo-fencing and radio speed limit signs. It would be trivially easy to install on existing vehicles

It's kind of funny, the 148.3821nm light being used to excite the nuclear transition is undoubtedly ultraviolet. However, the distinction between X-Rays and Gamma Rays is that Gamma rays originate from the nucleus. So in some lights, t

At first I was VERY confused thinking. Who in their right mind would insure an Apollo astronaut? Then I realized we aren't talking about THAT Apollo!

Drive units and stuff like charging controllers are just about the same reliability as gasoline engines and transmissions. I think that batteries are probably the most reliable part of the car.

I've always been disappointed by these vegan and vegetarian animal food replacement companies. All the science fiction I've been reading promised that this stuff would be cheaper than the real thing. Instead, everything is at leas

Anyone who has worked with animals as well as human children will know all about this. Humans are animals and many animals are just as much "people" as as a two year old. What you make of that is up to you. Some people could care

The thing is, it doesn't really matter. If you spike insulin from sugar, it doesn't matter that you aren't eating enough calories. You will feel ravenously hungry, feel sick as heck, and not lose weight. Eventually you break,

I went through a generation of people saying to "Eat Healthy" and recommending various odd stuff like just eating carrots or only meat. In the end I've found that the best solution has been to stop eating. If I eat anything,

Carrots actually have a LOT of sugar. It's part of what makes carrot cake so delicious. They almost taste like candy after a long fast. I've tried just eating enough roughage like carrots and lettuce to fill myself up but I just e

It takes me 2 hours to burn 1000 calories. That is just a single foot long Subway sandwich and a cookie. You can undo hours of hard work in minutes. Only thing I've ever found that works is fasting. Especially since my base metabolic r

A large percentage of city sales tax income comes from car dealerships. In addition, the big dealers themselves are often extremely active politically at the local and state level. This often means that small competitors are squeezed out by

Yeah, just like the moon is getting closer to leaving earth orbit. About an inch a year.

I'm sure that's all well and good for the plants. But for the rest of this, it's very concerning. I'm not looking forward to living in a greenhouse Earth. By the time we are unable to ignore the problem it will be WAY to

My partner used to not be covered under my health care. When we paid cash for his appointments it was LESS than it is now with insurance copays. This is on top of a huge monthly payment. A recent ER visit with my health insurance cost more

Yeah, I ran into a similar issue. I mostly use Isopure now. They have an unflavored variant. I usually blend it with frozen berries and fresh veggies.

No other drug is glorified nearly as much as alcohol. I swear that every other country song is talking about binge drinking. Ads are everywhere and it is in nearly every restaurant. It's in the movies and television. We have entire sho

I could not agree more. "master" and "main" always seem to be the most abused branches in my repos. I keep having developers who aren't familiar with GIT workflow yet, work on it locally and then push directly witho

American automakers have burned so much good will for me I couldn't give two pennies for them. They have exploited and systemically dismantled our country's transit system for profit. If they all went bankrupt tomorrow it wouldn&#

It's a complicated answer, but yes and no. A pilot needs to warm up in order to pull the high Gs as rated by the airframe. In addition, you can only pull the rated G-force for the plane for so long before blacking out. In addition, the

I wonder how you would accomplish this without physically putting a clock on the moon. You may be able to calculate the time based on an Earth clock, but it would slowly drift further and further over time. I'm really curious how they

The eclipse is just so predictable I could never see this being an issue. You can schedule your peaker plants a month in advance. This is actually less variable than the weather which also has an effect on Solar generation.

You could literally pay for it using the money you save on car infrastructure.

Ban on cell cultured food products huh? Guess no more beer or alcohol then!

That's honestly a pretty cool take on the idea. Imagine if we are just living inside an infinitely nested series of black holes? Turtles all the way down!

Classroom sizes in the USA have made schools into filing cabinets for children. Teachers can barely keep the kids from killing each other. Much less provide an effective education.

I'm very happy that Paris is making their city safer and more pleasant for the people who live and visit. Whenever you visit an area without cars and trucks, you can physically feel the difference. Hopefully, one day, all of our cities

That holds the same for airplane pilots as well. I love this lecture by Mike Patey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nXjPhGrwY&t=2943s&pp=ygUZb...
