Tall people also tend to have a higher BMI as well (square cube law and all that), and Denmark is in the top 5 for tallest average population. I would have to imagine that would skew the results as well. BMI seems like a useful tool for ro

It would if this was actually mm-wave 5g. The article says this antenna only functions in the sub 5ghz range, which makes a lot of sense. Most modern windows use an aluminuzed coating for UV reflection (usually called low-e glass), which su

It's an easily justifiable tax as well. Road wear scales to the 4th power of axle weight! Incentivise smaller cars, it means less road wear, higher fuel efficiency, and it's safer for pedestrians.
