  1. Re:The problem with mass transit on India Just Might Be Getting a Hyperloop (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The hyperloop will have several, probably plenty, of exits in the _center_ of the city, and not in the outskirts.

    It is not a plane, it is a train!

    Actually most people who are using a train are not coming with a car and are not leaving with a car.

    Your parent simply has no idea how public transport works in civilized countries.

    Both require experienced people.
    In Java simple things are simpler than in C++, however as soon as you make software for a living there is lots of stuff to learn and know on the Java side as well, e.g. annotation based frameworks, dependency injection, aspect oriented programming etc. p.p.
    I don't think that C++ is particular more complicated with modern language features (STL/boost etc.)

    CANDU are running on more or less natural Uranium.
    So they produce no 'waste fuel' that can or need to be reprocessed.

    Reprocessing fuel to put it later into a CANDU makes no sense.
    You can put iti into a CANDU right away.

    Sou could have safed your time with that long post if you had understood my previous post better :)

    And no, I don't have the urge to read links that summarize (badly) stuff, I already know.

    and is in turn BY DEFINITION the speed of an object dropped from infinitely far away, initially at rest.
    It isn't.
    An asteroid can hit earth with any imaginable speed. And usually that is far faster than escape velocity.
    No idea why you as self proclaimed physics teacher does not know that, facepalm.

    So go find one of your own, or google "escape velocity" or "escape speed".
    Why should I google trivialities?

    But as you insist, to make a fool out yourself:
    a) Escape velocity earth: 11.2 km/s
    b) earth orbit speed: 30km/s
    c) incoming asteroids speed: what ever you want. If it is e.g. "your escape velocity" and it comes retrograde into the earth, then it is 41 km/s
    d) then again, if you want to use a "escape velocity", then you have to use the sun as reference point and not the earth

    Wow, that was easy. Good luck in your physics ...

    Escape velocity is relevant for launching somthing into orbit, or to escape to outer space. Hence the name.
