-3 5. Xionbox (moderator) commented 10 years ago on video Why Britain uses separate hot and cold taps

This is the silliest reason I've *ever* heard! May it be in France, Germany or Luxembourg (countries I have lived in), we're always told to drink cold water instead of hot water for bacterial reasons, as noted by #6. This isn't prevent anyone from living in post-1940s with actual practical taps! Just turn the temperature thingy to the left to get only cold water, and ta-da, you're done!

Plus, #7, taking infected water and chilling it won't make it cleaner after you drink it: bacteria will start developing again once it's in a warmer environment, read your 38°C body.

I guess the only reasonable argument this bloke makes is tradition as he says at the beginning of the video (and the 1999 regulations which sound straight out of Mary Poppins).

If people have the money, there's a market.

$330.000 for a mechanical watch (read no battery and no microcontroller/computer) which is precise enough to compute the ephemeris of six planets makes sense, given the features, the precious metals and the precious rocks everywhere on it. There's more coverage here: http://www.ablogtowatch.com/van-cleef-arpels-complication-poetique-midnight-planetarium-watch-hands/ .

High-end watches start at around $20k and there really isn't any limit. A company called Graff is selling a watch and bracelet that is only made of colored diamonds for 22 million dollars. Yup.

#2 There are a few companies based in Cambridge (UK) which are currently working to bring this to market sooner than you think. One of the first (and albeit a bit trivial) applications is car seat warmer because Graphene heats up instantly (human scale). Jaguar is currently looking into integrating this technology in their cars.

As much as I like the message, I think this "artist" thing is a massive waste of paper! A temporary display of rolled up paper which will finish in a landfill (or at best recycled). Not to mention that the messages are printed with a background color (cf. 1:07 , specifically the piece of paper which reads "the newest", two thirds to the right). Not cool. Too bad since the message is good.

#1 Their jump has nothing to do with the way a lot of people died 13 years ago. If anything, it may also very well be a way for them to pay respect. Everyone thinks differently.

#2 Every official says that they "clearly" endangered the public. How so? Worse danger was when they landed, if a car was coming. So this is just equivalent to jay walking!

+8 19. Xionbox (moderator) commented 10 years ago on video Electric Vehicle Technology

#1, #2 and #3: they mean zero emission from the car itself, not from the production of the vehicle nor from the "source" of the power source. That said, it can be close to zero emissions if you charge it with a wind turbine (and neglect the pollution generated from the production of that turbine).

In any case, even if electricity was generated from an oil based generator, it would still pollute much less than a standard car, simply because it will always be running at optimal RPM.

#7 That's the kind of system my father and his military buddies designed during the Algerian war at the end of the sixties. They had to clear out roads in the early morning for the upcoming convoys. The mines were hand-made from usual barbecue gas tanks. It worked great until the guys placing them figured out the trick: they put the trigger three meters in front of the tank and my dad's buddy lost his legs.

It makes sense when you think of it. It will only work for bulbs whose filament is thin enough and barely broken. The piezoelectric arc will melt the filament, which will then follow the electric arc to the other bulb and solidify connected it.

+3 36. Xionbox (moderator) commented 10 years ago on video Smartphones and Sustainability

The amount of sources displayed in this video definitely make me support this cause.

They draw a very bad image of the situation. I'm not saying that's not the case, I'm just saying that if they had sources or documentaries for people more interested in the subject than just a propaganda like video, they should have shown this. That would make me less skeptical.

In addition, saying that RDC workers are underpaid is very subjective. It is important to compare what is comparable: are they poorly paid compared to the average salary of a Qatari, or are they poorly paid compared to the cost of living in RDC.

#2 I guess you have to draw in the box in order for the system to see the full picture, and possibly display the information about the shape directly there.

What I'm more curious about is how could one configure this to only take into account lines drawn by the user, and not lines on the paper initially (or am I the only one here who used non white paper at school)?

+4 69. Xionbox (moderator) commented 11 years ago on video Michio Kaku: What Is Deja Vu?

The main issue with his explanation is that it's a string theory explanation (strings, vibrations, etc.). The proof of existence of the Higgs field (and Boson) renders the only advantage that string theory had over the standard model which is that of explaining mass of elementary particle in free space. So, in other words, string theory doesn't bring any additional understanding to the equation than the standard model (along with the Higgs fields and boson). And therefore, string theory may not actually correctly explain our universe (but it may as well).

#17 Yes, you are right. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, in the referential of the moving light. However, if two referentials are moving towards each other at the speed of light, the energy at collision is equal to that of the absolute difference between the speed vectors. If they are exactly opposite, it is identical as if one referential was not moving and the other one hit it at twice the speed of light.

+3 108. Xionbox (moderator) commented 13 years ago on video 10 Questions for Stephen Hawking

#6 The big bang is basically an instability at quantum level. In quantum mechanics, due to vacuum energy, things pop into existence and annihilate each other (particle/anti-particle couples): that happens all the time, several million times just around and in you. The total energy is zero.

This instability which created the big bang (which explains why there always seems to be a bit more matter than anti-matter) created (at least) four dimensions: X,Y,Z of space and time. Before the big bang, there was no such thing as "time" itself. Hence, "before the big bang" makes no sense at all.

#3 It's an inner ear implant, more precisely called a Cochlear Implant. Have a look on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_implant

#4 , #6 , #7, #8 : what happens is that deaf people may not be completely deaf. In addition, if they were not born deaf, they may have spoken before. Following a severe ear infection (or something else), they may become deaf. People how are deaf and mute are often people that never heard well. In addition, as #8 said, even deaf and mute people are able to make sounds, they just don't speak well because they haven't had the chance to correlate the sound with the way to articulate properly.

#5 Indeed, radioactive wastes are a problem, although not that horribly bad for the environment, only for living things. However, you only need to treat them every ten years, and when they can be treated, they don't pollute that much.

What I mean, is that nuclear does pollute in the end, but it doesn't pollute at all during its thirty or forty years of producing energy. Nuclear energy is the only energy source which can claim this.

#3 Yes and no. "Degraded" is subjective. Being more "degraded" corresponds to more complicated. If the line is perfectly straight, it can be represented by a unique vector: two abstract points connected by a single line.
At the end of this experiment, there are much more lines, hence, you need much more vectors to go from the top of the screen to the bottom. Therefore, this is an evolution into a more complicated line.

Today, TGVs have the record of the fastest on rail trains in the world with a blistering 380km/h. This is the same speed this Aerotrain got for two people only and with a rocket engine. The TGV on the other hand, is almost 100% ecological because it's powered by electricity which is generated in France (by 85%) by (clean) nuclear power.

+8 283. Xionbox (moderator) commented 16 years ago on video Daruma-otoshi skyscraper demolition

For idiots like me, here's how it works:
""
How do they do it? First they replace the support pillars at ground level with computer-controlled metal columns. Then, a crew carefully demolishes the entire floor by hand, leaving the structure resting on the mechanical pillars, which then go down slowly until the next floor is at ground level. They replace the support pillars again with the mechanical ones, destroy that floor, and repeat the operation until they get rid of all the floors. This makes it look as if the building is shrinking in front of you, or being swallowed by the street.

According to the company, this method greatly reduces the environmental impact of the demolition, as well as the time. Kajima says that it speeds up the task by 20%, while making it easier to separate materials for recycling, as well as reducing the amount of products released into the air.
