  1. Re:Guaranteed to put stress on any car? As if. on Daimler Tests a Self-Driving Truck On the Autobahn · · Score: 1

    Most unrestricted parts are at least three lanes, presumably for exactly this reason.
    That said, trucks are limited to 90 km/h no matter what, and, even on unrestricted parts, seeing someone do 200+ km/h is exceedingly rare. It's fun, but much too expensive to do it on a regular basis.

  2. Re:remote control has to meny points of fail that on Daimler Tests a Self-Driving Truck On the Autobahn · · Score: 1

    No, you cannot DDOS me full rail line.

    What you can do, is DoS a partial rail line.
    Much like all you need is a laser pointer and you can DoS a full airport, or a few rocks and you can DoS a reasonable piece of a motorway.

    Implement on the train:

    if (link_down())
        halt();

    Implement at the control station:
    if (link_down())
        foreach (other_trains_on_that_track())
            signal_halt();

    Yes why?

    No, I approximated it using 1 year = 365.25 days.

    (Note that i used 365.25 days per year to arrive at the 525,960,000 minutes, the real number will be slightly smaller (but nowhere near 102 days))

  10. Please be kidding.

  11. Only 85 years short... on Artists Create a 1000-Year GIF Loop · · Score: 5, Informative

    1,000 Years are 525,960,000 minutes, i.e. 52,596,000 10-minutes

    According to TFS, the thing has 48,140,288 Frames, one of which is displayed ever 10 minutes.

    So they seem to be 4,455,712 frames short of having it actually take 1000 years to complete.
    That's 85 years. ...artists... what a meta-failure.

    Always. Good try, though.

    So you think what GP say was "It is been fun proving your wrong."?

  17. Well, good point. I stand corrected.

  18. ....what? "falls" into space? You need to reach escape velocity (the direction of which interestingly doesn't matter). At the poles, you have to do it all by yourself, on the equator you only need to add sufficient speed to what you're already getting due to Earth's rotation.
