The average length isn’t enough because the likelihood of derailment might be a function of train length. It’s possible shorter trains have gotten safer and monster trains have gotten more dangerous due to their increasing length.

Isn’t there a third option that both your interpretation of the data and the letter are wrong? The letter specifically mentions the derailment of monster trains. These trains have more cargo and so one derailment can lead to a more severe d

My experience with eggs is the opposite. Eggs stick when added to a cold pan. Letting the pan get really hot first has stopped eggs sticking for me.

When you enter into an agreement for services, it’s usually not sufficient to just stop paying. You may still be liable for the charges if you haven’t gone through the cancellation process you agreed to.

How good is water at capturing CO2 compared to the other absorbents? My guess, not as good. So is more CO2 released because they're capturing with water?

It makes the burning of fossil fuels more efficient, e.g. you can X tons of coal to produce Y MW of power and get Z additional gallons of gas. But it's really a stretch to call this carbon neutral.

Very tenuous that this specific donation will do that. Most likely it will be used for a building (which requires concrete, a major CO2 contributor), and the rest will go to the university's endowment where it will sit.

Using Go as an example, if I were to write a "Why Go" article, it might look something like this: 1) Simple, one way to do everything. for loops, code formatting, and project setup. 2) Good concurrency (go routines) 3) No exceptio

They also had a prior justification for running this experiment based on known effects of Tylenol on the brain.

Companies receiving these contracts (either fixed-price or cost-plus) will be incentivized to maximize profit and the expense of the shareholder. I don't think it's possible to remove this incentive. Instead, the government should

The schedule of rate increases had already been announced. Given that a less aggressive schedule was unlikely given inflation, there was a possibility of a more aggressive schedule. I think the market is reacting to that.

3% is still super low historically. Let's wait and see how the economy actually reacts to the rising rates. Back in 2019, the Fed got cold feet and started lowering rates after hitting ~2.5%. The amount of money in the system is also u

Not really. I want to understand why the language is interesting. For instance, even though I know nothing about Lisp, I can guess that it supports booleans, integers, and floats. Tuples and complex numbers are kind of interesting. But then

Without having context of when this was made and that it was part of a game, this looks like a fairly generic picture of a mountain. You regularly see images with far more atmosphere on r/PixelArt.

The first snippet of code I see on that page requires me to understand way too much syntax. It's nice to see smaller snippets of code when first exploring a new language to decide if it's worth the effort to learn the syntax and l

My point is that the GPL should include a clause that if you sue for a breach of contract and win, then the violator of the license needs to pay your legal fees. This would (theoretically) allow a lawyer to sue with your permission and on y

The legal fees would add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars at a minimum. There just aren't many people / organizations who have that kind of money to spend just to get some open source code. Perhaps adding some language about

The only papers I've seen that indicate GMO has reduced pesticide use were published by various industry groups with unclear ties to pesticide manufacturers. Academic papers seem to indicate pesticide use is higher, especially as the p

It depends on your viewpoint. GPL code authors rarely have the means to pursue legal action in response to license violations. As a result, GPL code is generally "stolen" with impunity.
