It's more or less a ring buffer - new results are pushed on one by one, old results get popped off by being overwritten, and distances are relative to the newest entry. Their second design, "clockhands", has multiple ring buf

It seems to me that between gerrymandering and the filibuster, congress is basically unable to pass normal legislation when either party has a majority. Hence why all sorts of stuff gets passed by budget reconcilation now, because that is e

This doesn't help at all. Diagrams are diagrams, what does it actually mean physically?

What i've never understood is how detonation can be more efficient than deflagration. What does that mean? Both types of engine take a mix of fuel and oxidiser and turn it into hot combustion products. The hot combustion products then

Depends on the shape of the cup! You can contrive a cup shaped like an exponentially flaring horn, where adding the milk increases the volume a little, which massively increases the surface area, and so leads to faster cooling. Or you can h
