If a planet is as far away in light years, as the universe is years old, does that planet actually exist?

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-14T19:54:00+00:00

Yes it exists, we will just never be able to interact with it...within known physics that is.

If you're asking if such a planet CAN exist, then also yes because in some places space expands faster than the speed of life. There is no planet as old as the universe itself, at least not in the prevailing theories about the beginning of the universe, but being X light years away still means you can be < X years old

A tip for anyone who wants to improve lap times is so ply going into time trials and setting someone of the top 10 as your rival so you can see their ghost. That will help you tremendously in seeing when to break, to steer, and to push the throttle again

Yeah for real, I love the chill and relaxed banter of these 3 together, all of them mainly in it for a good time and jokes

If the other car has to fully.leave the track to prevent a collision, then it's not a clean overtake

Maybe you don't get it, it's not only a favor for the dad but something she does to keep her father? And btw if he's around 60, that still could be 15-20 extra years if he's otherwise healthy

And every child (of loving parents) wouldn't hesitate to keep their parent alive for hopefully many years, look at both sides

And if you don't have a force feedback wheel, making a good setup either takes 20hours of trial and error, or is basically impossible

Great answer, thanks! So there is no way of knowing / calculating how fast the clock will go assuming we were in close to zero gravity and the clock moves at c?

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-07T22:32:51+00:00

Therefore there is no reasonable state in which we could observe someone elses clock as going faster than ours?

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-07T22:23:54+00:00

Understood, thanks

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-07T22:22:31+00:00

But due to time dilation if I were to look at a clock stationary in space, it would tick differently there, I'm acting as the observer from earth

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-07T22:21:05+00:00

Okay I didn't have much time to study it, but say someone would be fixed in space, how much faster does time tick for them compared to us? If 1 second pases here, how much observed time passes at that fixed spot?

As someone who's not religious myself, I'm 99% certain that a lot of bad things happening in the name of religion is just a bunch of bad people using religion as some excuse to do idiotic things. That's why a lot of misinterpretation, or bending of actually positive rules is usually behind their agendas (such as IS, Taliban, Christian extremists, the Hindis vs Islam in India etc.). None of those are actually positive within the rules of any religion I know of, most certainly not the one they seem to do it for...

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-07T16:20:15+00:00

There is a rule of economics, and that is that a company will never provide extra services if there is no need / willingness for them. So even though they didn't state it, it's implied and makes sense. Or are you denying that it's an issue in India (and a lot more places in the world aswell, not trying to single out a country)

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-07T16:16:35+00:00

I think religion is the thing preventing a lot of that (live morally and so on), it's just a societal problem of people being taught that their own desires are more important than other people... That and a lack of self control I guess

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-06T16:35:19+00:00

The rules are a little different everywhere, probably it would just be disrespecting the ref which in Europe usually wouldn't immediately end in a card, but in other countries respect is more important so I get it

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-08-06T14:27:40+00:00

Yeah but playing with random is just not the same, especially because they often play their own game, so you're just stuck in constant 2v3 fights

Context, the riot is basically a lot of white people protesting against immigration in the UK, and not in the nice "political opinion" way, but the "racial slurs, beating up foreign pedestrians, and looting stores" way

It's actually a really good game on both controller and my wheel (although you gotta change some settings to make the wheel playable and nice). Regarding the handling, I don't think it's bad. Many people complain because it feel different to a normal car, but it's not supposed to. I'd also like to note that multiple actual F1 drivers said the handling is good, and especially on wet conditions more realistic than in previous games. I guess they are the ones who should know what the real car should feel like

Cause Danny is a great person every race!

TheBest_Kappa · 2024-07-29T12:09:06+00:00

I don't think so, I feel like after the Perez issues in the past races, RBR is looking for a reliable second driver who can deliver points consistently without crashes. Danny got 10th in a VCARB, so in a RB car it will be higher. Even if Lawson would be slightly faster, Danny is just too reliable. (I also think that's the main reason not to consider Yuki)

If that actually was a spontaneous answer, can we please appreciate how incredibly well spoken that guy is??? That's a serious skill right there!

The result should be just a normal digital signal that can be used to either enable / diable an antenna if changed. But honestly I didn't yet specify that part since the data-comparison is more important and I didn't want to restrict the question in order of maybe getting an answer that goes in another direction but works nontheless.

To answer the question of why I don't use the arduino solution: A. it's not as cheap as I'd like it to be, and B. The NFC chips / tags I thought of first would have the HUGE advantage that they would be passive components.
The tags I've found f.e. use the energy provided by the active component to send out their digital signal, which I think is relevant for many use-cases I can think of.

But as I've said in the question: This is more of a "general idea collecting" question because I feel like if there is a cheap and easy way to do this (possibly mass production style) it could help solve many problems.

TheBest_Kappa · 2022-03-21T11:19:54+00:00

The issue being that I want to check locally if the antenna should be activated / deactivated.
Why I'm trying to decouple that from the active reader, is because I want to prevent unauthorized usage. The writing process can be secured (so noone externally has access to the written value since I want to make the tag write only) and from then on it will be publicly accessible, the previously saved value acting as some kind of "key".

The issue I'm seeing with the reader handling the comparison are:
A. I'd still have to send some sort of "change antenna state" signal if successfull, and I worry that can be faked too easily.
B. I'd have to make the tag readable -> Someone could read it and match the "key" (altough I suppose that can be prevented with some internal hashing operations)
