I'm not putting into question the fact that having a radar is significantly superior to vision only, that's obvious. I'm saying that, as we see, HW4 and radar are two distinct hardware configurations: saying that there will b

I struggle with understanding that size comparison, given that the size of the electron is unknown: we only have a maximum size that's based on the accuracy of the measurements, no lower bound.

"Why do cars have seat belts? People should be able to drive without crashing!" Is what you just asked. Safety features are just that: they enhance passenger and pedestrian safety because humans make mistakes.

Switching from common law to civil law systems should fix a lot of that up. This wouldn't be possible, considering the amount of law that would need to be written to replace an existing common law system but it's an interesting th

Be aware that measuring FR and THD is just that: measuring FR and THD: it's not a measurement of how good or bad something sounds. It's the equivalent of measuring a car's quality by looking at 0-100km times: it doesn't

"Humans don't like <thing> because they don't enjoy consuming it in some arbitrary quantity"? Really, that's your argument? I'm not capable of eating 1kg of bread, does that mean I don't like bread?
