You used 1/2mv^2? It is 2.64 times the energy. Squared means it is increasing exponentially

In England it is legal as long as the walker determines it is safe to do so.

Perhaps because 65 has exponentially more energy in collisions and more likely to cause death? If it is limited to 40, death is less likely and therefore chance of negative news. So I would venture just a risk calculation for initial releas

The fact is that loads of people drive drunk, drive illegally, and drive dangerously--on public roads. Police enforcement clearly doesn't work. Automated enforcement would. Why should people get to endanger others? The leading cause of

20mph is within populated areas and not on a main road. In the US, the norm is 25mph, which isn't that far off.

I think Marketplace quickly became a goto over Craigslist because a Facebook profile is much more trustworthy than the essential anonymity of Craigslist.

Also when everyone moves to the countryside it isn't really the rural countryside anymore. It is just sprawl.

Does pitting these teams directly against each other to achieve a specific purpose advance the field better than letting them do their normal research thing?

The counterpoint is that you have the exact same decisions being made in systems like the UK. People get refused cancer treatment because they were too old and their were younger patients that had a better prognosis. The fact is both types

From what I can tell, this is just to keep money in the hands of lawyers and keep prices high. There are plenty of things that could be done better now by non-lawyers with the help of lawyers (look at Rocket law).

The problem is often that people want to live in a place that is cheap and with space and then drive to where jobs are and the pay is high (city), which means wide roads to get to city, which means lots of pollution, noise, lack of safety f

There are absolutely great rail links to London. From nearly every direction. Drive your car to one of those places, buy a travelcard and you're all set.

1. There is a difference between luxury apartments and new apartments. 2. More likely the most egregious wasted land uses will be destroyed and not something already being used fairly productively. For example empty lots or parking lots ar

Maybe at the extremes there will be an issue, but doing all those things would massively bring down prices.

Land value tax would prevent people from buying land without a plan to make it useful. IE ending land speculation and encouraging productive uses of land.

A price spike, maybe. A long term unending price increase, no. Would love to see an example of a place that doesn't have such constraints on building that has high prices.

Favorable conditions such as the F-35 being parked on the ramp and the Cessna crashes into it?

The US has 2 squadrons of F-35s in Alaska.

I saw some tanker on twitter explaining just how bad the Russian tactics with their tanks are. Poor training, poor logistics, and undermanned. Tanks get such poor gas mileage that they need tons of support. Extremely effective weapons when

I thought they fixed that already--software tweak for a sensor.

F-35 would do exceptionally well in this conflict. It is designed for contested airspace.

The most expensive real estate per sq foot in the world and they allow people to store personal cars for free on the street. Ludicrous

In a right turn on green scenario, the driver mainly needs to be looking for pedestrians crossing and they will be crossing a different direction. In a right turn on red, their primary focus is on cars, limiting their attention on pedestria

Only on bigger roads. Not very safe for pedestrians.

How would yield signs would be better for pedestrians and pedestrian safety?
268.
by zip1234 4y ago
Right turn on red really doesn't belong anywhere where people could be on the street. Drivers turning red will often pull forward into the crosswalk and there may be a walk signal.

Sure, they are not ideal. They are there because changing road design for safety is expensive and not something that engineers in the US seem to understand how to do. Removing stop signs doesn't magically solve anything. Road design ne

Learned about iberian gauge while taking a train in Portugal last month. The tracks were further apart than any that I have ever seen. Rail is much more complicated than people might think
