Of all the times I have been downtown, I have never once wished there were more cars. A downtown without cars could be so much better.

That claimed false positive rate sounds unbelievably low to me. Is there any proof publicly available and verified openly by a third party? Why I find it hard to believe is that I am imagining having access to a face photo of everyone in t

Reddit has demonstrated that its moderation system is not stable and results in garbage. Try some different systems, for example: 1 -- The moderators pay for the privilege of moderating. or 2 -- No moderators at all. Let me decide what I wa

My basic argument is just that it is plausible that the perceived different feel of different frame materials is real, and that there is no support for the claim of another comment that a different feel is impossible. I am surprised that n

It was a long time ago that I compared bikes, but I remember really feeling the texture of all the little pebbles that makes up road pavement on a carbon fiber bike. Then with an old steel bike, it felt as if the road had been polished int

I do not see any relation between effectively static strain gauge versus force measurements and the "feel" of riding a bike in terms of high frequency vibrations. The rest of the video is just the confidently stated opinions of a

I am a little bit fascinated by the way that many people seem to think so highly of Gelsinger, and I even think it is possible that he will succeed in leveraging that to make Intel competitive. However, just from his public persona of wildl

I wonder if an eyeball scan is really proof of humanity. This may be a dumb question, buy why could someone not simply create an AI-generated iris image and fool the orb into thinking that is a unique human?

If you were to create any model of the universe, you would require it to have the correct (observed) percentage of galaxies without dark matter, right? You assert that it is impossible for a model of a dark matter dominated universe to &quo

What you are calling a model is simply a way of quantifying a measurement of a galaxy to describe (or model) its mass distribution. There is no physics involved. > "DM theory needs to make predictions we can then test" That is

There is no DNA for galaxies, so how could you know what the properties of a particular galaxy "should be"? The focus on "per-galaxy parameters" is like expecting to be able to predict how tall Tom Cruise should be after

The Intel roadmap is a nice work of optimistic investor-targeted marketing, but I have no idea how to interpret it. I can see in the roadmap slide that 10A "arrives" in late 2027. However, the Intel roadmap also shows both intel
