Richard Feynman himself has a reply similar to yours in the documentary called "Fun To Imagine" when he is asked a why question, in that case related to the magnetic force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36GT2zI8l

It's correct that the infant mortality rate in The Netherlands is somewhat higher than neigbouring countries (the sixth highest of European countries), the cause of this is not exactly clear. There was a study in 2010 that drew much me

This was indeed the prevailing wisdom for some time. However, more recent research is somewhat more optimistic. Even an atmosphere 10% as dense as that of earth can circulate heat to the dark side efficiently enough, given the right composi

Depends on how big the airline is, what percentage of its fleet consists of max 8s, etc. Generally, planes like this have high operating costs, and usually are kept in the air pretty much constantly to be able to make a profit. Having one g

Redox OS is the most mature rust-based operating system that I know of. Exactly at which point you can call a project such as this useful or real is of course debatable, but redox is advanced enough to run a GUI. The linux kernel is very un

The person you're replying seems to be making a parody of copyleft, applying Richard Stallmann's four essential freedoms to program data. I don't think it's a serious attack on Rust's borrow checker.

Trams get the highest priority on Amsterdam roads, and that is because they are on rails. It means their options to avoid accidents are extremely limited: they cannot avoid obstacles, only adjust their speed. You are right about taxis, I&#x

Right now there are 3-4 parties that together control more than 51% of mining power. I believe they've avoided merging because if there is a single entity openly controlling a majority of mining power it undermines trust in bitcoin, de

Ctrl+c is technically not quite the same as Esc: it doesn't trigger InsertLeave autocmds, and doesn't finish abbreviations. But as long as you don't have those you'll be fine.

Sir Robin moves at (2,1)c/6, meaning 2c/6 (or c/3) in one direction and c/6 in the other. This is apparently the maximum speed possible at this slope.

Spoken like someone who has never seen obfuscated/underhanded code contests. C++ can do fuckery that rivals higher level languages just because of the limitless hardware access and undefined behavior the language has.

Can you really get to the moon with just $90M? My impression is that SpaceX is just about the cheapest launch provider currently available, and they charge something like $50-60M to get to orbit. And then you need to do all the tech require

Most definitely. It would be interesting to see how this compares to using parrot as your platform. The two approaches differ completely in ideology, and I wonder what would be easier to develop on.
