  1.  @nekiritan6779  But I don't know if every few hours makes sense since viewers are all over the globe in different time zones.

  2. "turns out it was both" Must have given them a hell of a headache to find out and be sure about that.

  4. The computer still didn't make a mistake. It had an error. It's decisions were still correct.

  5. "This is what happens next" is something that actually makes me angry. It's such a blatant "I just want your click" bait I feel insulted just getting it shown to me.

  6. More importantly if reality does not confirm to our prediction ;)

  7. I probably had such a bit flip waaay back in my youth. There was a racing game. My father and I were playing it a lot and the top 10 had only 0,4 seconds difference from place 1 to 10. So one day we say: Mother, you play too! Mother no! Me: I play for you, see! I drove a race (not even trying hard) and... ended up being a full second faster then the existing record (which we would never beat by even a tenth of a second). So of course I entered my mothers name as the fastest driver ever.

  8.  @corneliuselbourne1044  I guess that is the smirk you have when you told people for years that this will happen and we need to prepare and nothing is prepared. It's a mix of resignation, exasperation and a bit of hope that at least now that it happened they will believe you. I sometimes have that "smirk" when it is about data protection. You know, where stuff happens that you have warned about for a decade and people are totally surprised it happened.

  10. It's a law of science: The harder your science is, the more unique your names become (because you have to be nerdier to do them). In the extreme cases they become so unique they are completely mundane. Like in astronomy with the Very Large Telescope or Large Hadron Collider. No politician or event manager would ever be able to even think about a "boring" name like that.

  11.  @replynotificationsdisabled  I recon because in physics questions air friction normally is stated (or implicity seen) as negligible.

  12. The answer for the why question is always "because it's there". Imagine the poor nerd getting laughed at by the crowd around the fire: "Wheels? What yo you do with that stuff?"

  13.  @mikefochtman7164  And the big reveal being absolutely nothing in 50% of cases, in the other 50% it's something like "It's true: getting pregnant makes you weight more!"

  14.  @ZeekDaGeek  Hmm... you certainly have a point, but I don't think that he tests for country efficiency when he still has no idea if a certain headline will work good or bad :D

  15. That's where this particular Japanese saying/worldview comes from, try searching "Use and Meaning of Shouganai(しょうがない) in Japanese"

  16. "nearly a decade" is old for you? For a car? A car that doesn't hold longer than 10 years is just a piece of manufactured junk. Cars have their own planned obsolescence today, but it is definitely not just 5 years average.

  17. Something like that happened to me (long ago). In a race game suddenly I was a full second faster than the record. At that moment I was playing for my mother trying to get her into playing, so of course I entered her name. Her record as being a full second faster than anyone else without even playing the game was never in danger of being beaten.

  18.  @cybersteel8  ECC is slower and/or more expensive. For the average user (especially gamer) that's more important than a graphics glitch per month you likely never notice and maybe a single bluescreen per year.

  19. No, he is a mster of the slippery slope. You start with a bit of simulated rain and then you landslide into university math.

  20.  @xwithoutxanyxwarningx5191  I can't blame you for not believing it, I saw it happen in real time and could not believe it either :D I mena it would have been strange enough if it happened when I played normally, but in that one game where I drove for my mother? That's probably how religions are born: IF there is a God, he should make me faster than anybody else! Universe: I heard you!

  21. No they shoudl keep it. At least in a plane people can feel unconnected.

  22. Why do you think companies spend so much money on ads instead of making their product better? It's cheaper and easier to achieve the same result - more sales.

  23. From intuition I took C too, but then I thought "Wait, this is like when people jump (5 guys jumping, one on each end of the rope swinging it around). If they stop the swinging (and the jumpers are out fo the way) and just stand still, the rope will balance itself out, whatever strange form it had." And choose the straight line, where everything is balanced out.

  24. Don't tell that to a theoretical physicist. They may throw you into a particle accelerator.

  26.  @iJettla4  By "consensus in Economics" you mean economists? Those people who base all their theories on 4 assumptions that are all hilariously wrong? Like homo economicus, the barter society etc.?

  29.  @sidjt  That seems to be the goal from my experience. But this is NOT from pure technical point. LEDs could go decades on average. It's just when you conciously decide against it that you get the 1000 hours back. Either by using bad quality parts that steer the LEDs (LEDs itself are practically undestroyable from use) or overusing them (which the commenters here say is what is happening). It's like in TVs where there is a part that is weak to heat and very predictably breaks after a certain time if too hot, that is placed myseriously always near the only big heat source on a huge circuit.

  32. "The traveling public wants 5G". No, they don't. Because the traveling public doesn't sit in an air plane, that's less than 1%. It's more politicians want it, because they often use air travel. It's like with the roaming some years ago. "Yes, we sold your privacy right, but in exchange we have capped roaming costs!!!"

  35.  @mikecrapse5285  AMD may have the support on all chips, but at least from my cursory knowledge dating back to the 1000 series, there are very very few mainboards that support it. Again because it's more expensive (even if it is just the programming/support) for practically no gain on the suer side (also ECC memory is slower/more expensive)

  36. Oh, what did he say? That would bve the third thing he was right about.

  37.  @dru70292  I am ot sure this counts as right, LED are still better than incandescents, they are just screwed with as much. One thing was that China wants to take over the world economically from the US. Admittedly not hard to find out, since that is written in official documents, but still right. The second one I can't remember exactly, it was something about corrupt politicians. Something of the lines of "There were a lot of corrupt politicians under Obama". WHich is of course right (every organisation has corruption) but it was funny at that moment because the talk was about HIS corruption. Just another proof of Trump rule 3: If he says someone else has done something bad, it means he has done it himself and wants to shove attention away or regrets that he wasn't the one.

  38.  @dru70292  The first step act has nothing to do with him besides he had to put his signature under it. And btw. I don't count "was right" in cases it is blatently obvious for decades and everyone agrees.

  39.  @dru70292  I can't say. A) because I don't know the details B) It depends what else was on the table and C) do you mean this single vote or everything that is connected to it, including the failure that lead to the situation?

  40.  @mehere8038  I fail to see where the system was wrong. What you called a "key issue". You seem to believe that a candidate MUST have a certain amount of top votes. But why? To keep food examples, imagine 2 (extremised) examples: A) Everyone's 2nd favorite food is served. B) 10% get their favorite food while the 90% of vegans go hungry because that food is steak. Which meal represents the will of the people more? Or let's say a Mr. Trump and a Mrs. Hillary are going against each other. If there was a Mr. Middle Ground that nobody would vote for first but everyone would happily chose as second choice, should it not be Mr. Middle Ground who gets elected instead of one of the other candidates that half of the people abhor? That someone is elected who has few or even none 1st place votes is not a bug, it's a feature.

  41. Of course the best video to learn about sizes in this context is "Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot OFFICIAL"

  42. Doesn't happen here because they all used a pedal bike before. They know instinctivly that you have to lean etc. Of course they might crash too, it's still a skill you have to learn, but you don't need to exlain the very basics.

  43. Could. But that is before the time of ubuqious electric light. Do you want to fly around in something that steers more badly than a pregnant drunken cow with zero sight?

  45. I have never seen a model T that is not (originally) black, but then it was all black and white pictures at that time ;) But still, I think you have been lied to.

  46. How? A stall is per definition, if I am right, wenn the plane drops due to being too slow. How can you be too slow and too fast at the same time?

  47. But there it's both intentional and systematic. The GOP knows it's losing the age game, so they try everything to keep in power, prevent mail votes, making it harder to vote for people who more likely vote Democrats - and putting in a lot of voting computers that can be hacked so easily hacker clubs don't even see it as a challenge. Safety principle of "nobody is allowed to touch them, so nobody would put a USB stick into them!"

  48. Luck doesn't matter, only effort? Think about if you would still know Newton's name if there hadn't been an apple falling on his head at right the perfect time.

  50. Funny that he mentions astronomy, because I think the most mind-boggling things that natural laws have created are snowflakes and black holes. Well, and life, but that is really messy so it somehow is less impressive.
