@Duke_113 @Rainmaker1973 It must be primarily to reduce light pollution. Norway has an abundance of electricity due to excess hydropower. That said, information processing for this application requires a negligible amount of energy compared to the lights themselves. Probably less than 1%.

@Cernovich This is your “gotcha”? He’s asking the wrong questions man, and he doesn’t update it by listening. 1) All you need to know for a decision is what the cheaper option is. 2) If the US does not go carbon neutral the temperature rise depends on how long you’re going to keep

@king_tersoo @ViralXfun Ignoring friction. If the wavy path’s baseline would be the height of the straight path, they would arrive at the same time. But it is lower, so wavy path ball spends more of the trip having more of its potential energy exchanged for forward momentum.

@_eric_alexander @jerrysaltz Most people feel like noobs in graphic art vs very familiar with music. So you look at the herd for clues, making famous works more famous. If this painting is more famous than beautiful or interesting, it does not mean those people there are not _searching_ for true beauty.

@Foulke_David @skdh Yes but Bob’s not transfering info. It’s like friends buy a red and a blue marble, wrap them identically, each takes a random one, travel apart and unwrap them at the same nanosecond. The info travelled as slow as the marbles travelled apart.

It means you understand as well what it is doing as a monkey in the zoo understands why or how humans put him there. 2.

@Rainmaker1973 Assume answer A or D. They say 25% chance, but the chance to pick them is 50%, so, assumption false. Assume instead answer B, but its 50% ≠ 25%, so assumption false. And with C, its 60% ≠ 25%, so also a false assumption. All false, so paradox.
