I would think that heating the glass (and surrounding casing) would be a more effective measure for keeping a camera clear of snow.

I'm not assuming the best, I'm assuming basics. We've just watched a presentation where Tesla put immense resources and talent into designing a state of the art vision processing chip. Do you think they're going to let i

Yes, we implemented simple physical solutions such as wipers and window heaters in cars to maintain vision for drivers. What we didn't do was implement lidar to aid human drivers. Simple physical solutions are available if necessary fo

And would you drive if snow covered your windscreen? Or would you clean it? Which is obviously possible for cameras too.

Thank you for pointing that out. I did read a good part of the interview but obviously missed that bit. But I disagree with him here (while finding a lot of the rest of what I read insightful). How we speak about people is not fixed and cha

That is a good video. Accent test for North Americans: See if you can say which person is the New Zealander and which is the Australian (before the 12 minute mark after which one of them says where they're from).

To add to your examples, there was the very real possibility with Fukushima that Tokyo would have had to be evacuated. This was seriously considered at the highest levels of the Japanese government (i.e. the PM and cabinet): > The 400-pa

Yes, I read a little about Turkey's tea production after I made that comment. Knew that it had a big tea drinking culture but didn't know before today that the country also grew tea. Now I learn that it is one of the world's

p.s. It occurred to me after writing the above comment that it should be possible to grow tea in the British Isles and I now learn that there is a plantation in Cornwall which has been producing since 2005. [1] It's a wonder that tea

I'm not familiar with the history of tea cultivation in Indonesia, or its tea culture. If you know of a good overview I'd be interested in reading it. One country I neglected to reference and which should be listed ahead of India

As a third party, I appreciate the links you've provided but you're being pedantic about Poland having to be strictly 'the dirtiest'.

The article is almost complete junk. It has however served as a catalyst for a somewhat interesting discussion here.

I certainly would have preferred to have parents who were older and more mature than the ones I did have. And when I think of my peers who had older parents I think they benefited.

I recently learnt of a food waste recycling method that avoids decomposition and release of methane. It is called bokashi and it uses homolactic fermentation to break down the food waste. Quoting the wikipedia article [1]: > Homolactic
