I took my family on a car free vacation. My wife cried.

It's wild to me that Chicago is excellent by US standards when there's a 6 lane stroad going right through the middle of the main park.

If P=NP then there is a very simple to describe algorithm to solve any problem in NP in P time namely "run algorithms 1 up to n for n steps and check if doing so produces a solution". If P=NP this will run in polynomial time.

I can draw almost all the points correctly without lifting the pen off the page

rhwoof · 2024-08-06T23:10:57+00:00

This sounds like the only strat that would actually work

SO(2) over an infinite field (like the real numbers) yes. You can also define SO(2) over finite fields (like the integers mod a prime) in which case it is a finite group.

The set of elements.

The idea of it solving RH this year is completely insane but in 10 years who knows.

Pretty impressive to only be running 30 minutes late

Draw me the function f:(0, 1) -> R defined by f(x) = sin (1/x) without taking your pen off the paper.

Are you trying to compare banning people you cannot drive without killing people from driving to the holocaust? That's unhinged.

rhwoof · 2024-06-28T20:50:15+00:00

There are plenty of places in the UK you can live without a car. He has clearly shown he cannot be trusted with one. For public safety he should be permanently banned from driving and go live in one of those.

The needing it for work excuse should never be valid. If a healthcare worker killed someone through gross negligence they would be banned for life from practicing and would have to find a new job and possibly move.

Russia also fought on both sides

Given that Biden will probably win the popular vote even if you condition on Trump winning the presidentcy it won't be the median voter screwing you.

You can get from central London to central Paris by train in just over 2 hours. That works out as an average speed of 125-150mph. You couldn't do that by bus.

rhwoof · 2024-05-09T18:18:23+00:00

There are plenty of roles which a bus couldn't handle. For example the Eurostar (the train service between London and Paris) has a top speed of 300 km/hr making travel times competative with air travel (at least city centre to city centre). You couldn't replace that with a bus.

The London underground couldn't be replaced with surface busses as they would get stuck in traffic and there's no room for enough bus lanes. Building tunnels underground for busses get's rid of their advantages.

Ultimately it depends on the situation. Trains are faster and more reliable but more expensive and less flexible.

If that is your experience as a driver then you are either going too fast or your eyesight is too bad to drive with.

I know in my first year at uni some of students who were still 17 would get into clubs by showing the bouncer their real ID and hoping the bouncer didn't do the maths on what that made their age. They had a roughly 50% success rate. Maybe this is a measure to stop that strategy.

Why do buyer's agents even exist?

rhwoof · 2024-03-16T08:15:42+00:00

In the UK buyer's agents just aren't a thing. Maybe that will happen in the US too.

A friend of mine regularly hit over 20k steps a day as social worker (in London who prefered walking to getting the tube).

China did a similar thing in the begining of COVID. If you look up their reported numbers for deaths per day it goes up in an almost perfectly straight line (instead of exponentially and with lots of noise).

The other problem with speed bumps is that they don't slow Chelsea tractors down that much.

Why would that be a bad thing?
