College is just one of the three pervasive pillars thoroughly entrenched by systems of law, culture, and physically built infrastructure. The other two are cars and suburban home ownership. They all have sustainability problems. Car commute

Heres an elegant approach when it comes time to do the aiming system. First, switch to metal pellets. Second, use electromagnets just after the muzzle to curve the trajectory right as the flight path begins. Aim it by adjusting voltage exac

In Europe they all used to be compared to the standard scale railcar which was kept in Paris. Recently standards have been updated to only rely on universal constants. So now European freight is measured in terms of the speed of light.

In my personal experience, the demographics of America are about 50% employed in a startup, the median education level is PhD, and the most common religion is Judaism. Personal experience is hogwash. Everyone is convinced their personal exp

Boundless good will come of it from the perspective of the people running the system. Just abandon the idea that the system exists to help you or make society better. this sounds like a fantastic tool to use psychiatric diagnosis the way it

English has a lot of synonyms, redundancy, alternatives, ways-to-say, and overlapping constructs. In that context, the many English words for lie is an uninformative truth. English has so many words for lie because English has too many word

It's ok, but it never takes any bold risks putting in any distinctive "this landmark does not exist" buildings. It would never generate a gaudy pile of lights like Time SQ nor an oversized oyster shell like the Sydney opera h

The relevant version of the uncertainty principle here is the energy time one. \Delta E \Delta T <= \hbar. As time uncertainty tends to 0, energy uncertainty tends to infinity. What does that mean? It means the clock system has to get an

A lot of the problems cited make sense in the context the machine was designed for. Of course it did math in decimal. The designer did math in decimal, the user input was in decimal, they wanted output in decimal, and unlike electrical swit

I don't know how much LSD you did or what your body weight was or anything else that might be chemically relevant. But I would be deeply surprised by an individual being immune to the closed eye hallucinations. When you look at a light

For me, I'm far better at patterns than memorization. Words are superior to letters because I can often think back to an earlier word/phrase to find a letter. Like, suppose you've done nothing but memorize how to key in the c

I recently learned Morse code. Long story short, for a while my life took a strange turn where I had full reign over someone else's Airbnb, and was free to modify the place in my image. We found this big light fixture meant for the cei

Theres an option far easier. Just put a rotary encoder on the wheels axle and read that data in directly. Even lazier, use any common DC motor as the axle and the voltage across the terminals will be proportional to velocity. Using video mo

Recursive nesting still stands as universal. Pretty much every language has a form of "he said {she said { stuff }}". One guy claims to have found a language deep in the Amazon without this feature, but no one thinks he's cre

Complex amplitudes are a qubit the universe gives us for free. If you were to append some fictitious spin system to whatever quantum state, you could put all the real amplitude on the spin down state and all the imaginary amplitude on the s

I have an answer. Consider the opposite of free will. Things that aren't considered to have free will inherit their reasons for doing/being from the outside. A computer isn't considered to have free will, the reason for every
