The length of the light shouldn't enter into your mental equation. The thinking should be something like this: you see the light turn yellow, you gauge the distance between your car and the intersection, and you gauge the distance required for you to stop at your present rate of speed. If the stopping distance is less than the distance between your car and the intersection, you stop; otherwise, you do not stop.
The duration of the yellow light should be a function of those factors, but as long as it has been set reasonably, it should not be a concern for you, the driver.
There are generally limits on the minimum duration of yellow lights. Even so, it's hardly fair to make the yellow lights the bare minimum at intersections with cameras and longer elsewhere.
In this specific article, it is revealed that six cities have been caught reducing their yellow light durations below the minimum allowed by law.
Right. That's the whole point. We WANT people to merge ahead of us before that other lane comes to an end. If I fear that someone will leap into the space ahead of me, or if this makes me resentful or angry, then I close up ranks and prevent everyone from merging. If I try to become the "vengance police" and punish the cheaters who zoom ahead, then I close up ranks and stop all merges. Closed ranks create traffic jams. "Cheaters" don't trigger traffic jams, it's the people who try to punish the cheaters who do it.
Lane jumpers are not the real problem. Traffic jams are commonly caused by people who attempt to punish the lane jumpers by eliminating all spaces! In the merge-jam animations, the goal isn't to maintain the empty space under any circumstance. The goal is to ALLOW PEOPLE TO MERGE AHEAD OF US! Closing up the ranks is what produces that jam in the animation. But what about the times when we are far from the merging-lanes area... ?
Climate change is not the reason for ethanol in gasoline. The reason is political: to reduce dependence on energy from foreign sources, as well as to buy votes from corn farmers via subsidies.
If Bell was able to get the third parties off their network, they could sell services to the consumers at retail rates instead of wholesale. Instead of $20 per user, they could get $40 per user. And they have the marketing clout to make sure that the independent ISPs wouldn't be able to keep their subscribers once they were booted off of Bell's hardware (that is, if it is even possible for the independents to exist in that scenario!).
I have a hard time believing that this is likely to happen, and it is probably just an attempt to negotiate a better position in the current net neutrality and telecom deregulation debates.
I trust you read the summary. The neat thing about this is that you need fewer gates to do the operations with qutrits than with qubits. Fewer gates means that the machine is easier (or even possible) to construct. It seems to me that it is a short-term gain.
As you point out, you are doing more work to achieve the same outcome, although I don't know where you pulled your numbers from. It's not a 50% increase in processing; they were able to do the work of 50 gates with a mere 9, which is a five-fold increase in processing.
I suspect that if the film does well enough at the box office that the studio would be interested in creating sequels. They need to create interest from somewhere, and Dune is a great place to (re)start.
I suspect that the laptop of 2015 will look at lot like the laptop of 2008, which incidentally looks a lot like the laptop of 1998. Sure, the screens may look nicer, and the batteries will last longer, but the folding keyboard/screen combination has been around for a long time because it just works.
Actually, it is case sensitive, but a redirect page exists from "Road Coloring Conjecture" to "Road coloring conjecture". But, yeah, the slash thing is more pertinent here (although I think you meant trailing slashes, not leading ones).
Unfortunately, none of them have a picture of Kodos or Kang, but the first one does have a sort of tentacle design. Including a picture may run into some copyright issues.

...the weak link is always driver support. At least it's not from NVIDIA!William Beaty covers this in his exploration of traffic waves.
Q: If I slow down and leave a space ahead of me, somebody will immediately change lanes and fill that space!

Yeah, but can you imagine the smell if all of the cars in London were replaced with horses? That might be another reason to go underground.
I don't know about you, but the length of my index finger is approximately the same as the width of my hand.

Too bad spelling isn't one of your strong points.
I love the idea of Will Smith being in a new version of the movie, as long as it includes lots of product placements.

Sadly, this is a fairly common occurrence: 6 Cities That Were Caught Shortening Yellow Light Times For Profit. It is deceitful and just plain wrong.

Then be prepared for the airport improvement fee.
