This is meant to be a tech-literate site. so please measure downforce in Newtons, not kilograms; just multiply by 9.8 (My next mission: not measuring blood pressure in pseudo-SI units of “mmHg” when kPa or bar are right there.)

To me, the measure that makes the most sense is “2.4km/s”. I know roughly what 2.4km is (e. g. from home to that supermarket) and I can sort of visualise what getting from here to there in one second would look like

Put another way, smoking tends to cause leanness, hence the cancer correlation?

Unfortunately, I’ve seen LLMs produce quite plausible sequences of calculations and derivations for mathematics assignment questions. I said “plausible”: they’re often but not always correct, so maybe detecting the occasional inhumanly nonsensical answers can help detection.

It was emotional for too as part of Team Déjá Vu, having watched the Apollo 11 landing live.

And I thought that backup cameras are mandatory these days.

Betting on the outcomes in other people's lives (without their permission or participation) is disgusting and I do not understand why it is still legal: see husband-murderer Kouri Richins for a recent example. But I do not see a problem with a "hedge bet" against bad outcomes for yourself...

I don't see how that helps when you look at the result of the sentence: "all services, rights, and interests ... in which contracts for future delivery are presently or in the future dealt in": I do not see any "future delivery" (of commodities for example) in the prediction markets. BTW: why...

If you drive past wind turbine arrays you often see some or all of them idle; at a guess because without adequate (battery) storage, it does make economic sense to shut them down to avoid over-production.

Tell that to speakers of Spanish, French, Italian etc: they’re all part of the “sodium faction”.

More specifically, it is made in a Subaru factory in Japan, unlike the Uncharted and Solterra.

In Europe this is called the E-Outback, so yeah.

Aside: There’s a practice with some medical research papers (when funded by US government agencies?) that they becomes free access after a few years. It would be great for the historical record if news organisations did similarly. All academic journals too, in fact.

To a large extent, the bigger screens are used for viewing from further away. I doubt there’s much interest in viewing from a distance less than the screen width, and then 4K or at most 5K is the limit of what most eyes can resolve. P. S. This is for TV usage: monitors can be viewed closer...

Medicine is a huge enough field that expertise in—for example—cardiology does not guarantee understanding of another area like infectious diseases. Especially once infantile dogmas of “individual choice” get in the way. He probably thinks that school zone speed limits are a horrible violation...

You’re catching on: we live in a simulation, and it’s owned by Global Tetrahedron.

Sadly, even that is likely not true: one-sided distributions with a tail of well above average cases quite often have median less than mean.

New cars start under US$20,000 and satisfactory if boring family cars like the Camry are under $30,000, well within the budget of a median income household. Don’t get mislead by average new car prices, which are skewed up by people buying far more vehicle than they need.

Or to put it another way, it means that it’s going faster than escape velocity, so to have originated within the solar system, it had to start out moving very fast—for eccentricity 6, make that very very fast.

A lot of those Chinese emissions increases are “outsourced US/european emissions”; ones due to increased production for those export markets.
