This makes me wonder why this shouldn't become the default mode of public transport — i.e., subsidized by the local govt in the same way as busses/trolleys. It seems they could actually replace the busses and provide better servi

Yup, nevermind reducing signature for military stealth, I'd also like it reduced just for general use. I think it will be critical for delivery applications. People think more rapid delivery via drone is cool, for about five seconds,

I get the skeptical responses on here, but this is a good step, clearly over time reflecting good management decisions, and it should be encouraged. For me, this put the Surface back on my list of choices to consider for my next laptop (ob

Yup. It's been 'Game On' for several years now. I would expect that using the RF signal for detection will go extinct as an opportunity in a very short time span (esp as targeting gets more AI-ish capabilities), detecting

It is no exaggeration. Different people have different sleep requirements. Your "26°C/79°F" is also only the normal case. It fails to account for how the system will perform in the now far more common 'outlier' hea

Yup. And ironically, the buildings are designed for one set of guests — the Olympic athletes — and if they had done their planning keeping the athlete's requirements as the primary criteria, they would have ended up with a far more cl

What is hilarious is that you obviously lack any knowledge or understanding of factors influencing elite athletic performance. They are competing at the absolute edge of capability and 1/100s of seconds or millimeters of position make

Yup. While I'm very pro-climate-measures, hosting guests for the event where they must be at absolute peak performance at events for which they have trained for typically over a decade is NOT the time to skimp on environmental contro

Since when does questioning whether one person might move equal a mass migration or and ace-in-the-hole argument? Your language seems to indicate a sore spot has been hit. We will see how it turns out. The main question is whether China h

I'm not doubling down or using it as a retort. I wanted an actual answer to the question, particularly since you so adamantly claim that China is far for human rights than the USA. Your answer is that it is friction of change from whe

Yup. I was just writing on the charitable side. It wouldn't bother me if they taxed everything that was not gratis good works, such as feeding or housing people without sermons, but the bigger step that is really necessary is taxing t

What they really need to do is be absolutely strict about tax-exempt status for religions. If they want to be a religion and do good works, fine. If they want to even mention politics from the pulpit, whether working for a candidate, advoca

This article is spot-on. It is different for everyone, but this arc was remarkably similar to losing my mother just over 20 years ago, also too early and to a short-ish final bout with cancer. Although one of the sharp shards hadn't

I was not talking about false equivalence about their economic status; I was talking about falsely equating or 'whatabout-ing' their human rights status. And if you think that polls of life satisfaction are meaningful among a popu

When you have the means to harvest and beam out a GW in space, it is not like the only use for it would be sending those probes. Seems like damn useful infrastructure for almost anything else. So, we can expect the hurdles to be overcome

Since your core point is that Tesla requires drivers to be fully engaged 100% or the time, it is an odd way to challenge someone blaming Tesla by responding to me pointing out that Tesla's advertising is fundamentally dishonest. Tesl

So, what is the difference between your argument and this more concise version? The falsehood of the " Full Self-Driving" claims are generally known to existing customers, therefore it is ok to lie to new customers.
