At this point in time, I believe they cannot issue a moving violation to an autonomous car as it does not have a driver. The safety driver (if there is one), can be cited though. See the autonomous vehicle guidelines used by the SFPD: http

The issues with that approach is that not everybody is well equipped with the ability to evaluate risk and price it accordingly. Furthermore, the employer typically has an information advantage over the employee, as they know how often the

The big issue is that counter arguments to climate change typically tend to be used as a justification for inaction, as flawed as that reasoning is. We're already at well over three decades of climate inaction.

Well, there's a paper from 2020 that suggests that people with aphantasia are more likely to be working in a scientific or mathematical occupation: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2020.04.003 Anecdotally, one can

Which part do you find hard to believe? That people with aphantasia can have a hard time with the method of loci, or that aphantasia is more common for software engineers than in the general population?

Google also has an outsized influence on the kind of content that's on the web. At some point in the past, from what I remember, they started ranking blog content lower than more "authoritative" sources, hastening the decline

Maybe your utility company bills in joules, but mine does in kWh. You can easily figure how many kilowatts your bulb does (divide by 1000), and you can come up with an estimate of how many hours you use it in a day/month/year, whi

To take your example, your 14 Watt lightbulb would use about 0.35kWh per day if running all day, or about 10kWh per month of nonstop usage. At 0.15$/kWh, that's about a dollar and fifty cents, assuming you'd want to leave it

The kilowatt hour is a fantastic unit when talking about electrical consumption. Are you running a 100W load (0.1kW) for an hour? That's 0.1kWh. Running it for ten would make a whole kilowatt hour. This allows for easy calculations of
