Voting-age people 55 and younger (the youngest boomer is 56) have outnumbered people 56 and over for a long time. And in fact, showed up at the polls in greater numbers in 2016 and 2018 as well. [1] Your disrespect for their humanity is in

I'll just say, "I hope you old people die soon, please die faster" (paraphrase) is quite a hateful thing to say. Especially since roughly half those older people you want to die actually agree with your preferred policies.

The comment is unworthy of the achievement. Kalman filters are used in many, many things today, including your smartphone's location and motion sensor processing. They are very important and have added a whole lot of economic value si

I'm always mystified by people, especially people who live in cities, that want to require cars to emit noise pollution. Thankfully, the "mandatory noisemaker" impulse seems to have died out at least for now. I know if my ve
