  • Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it's dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.

  • Amazon announced using drones in 2014. In pop culture, drone delivery is like an assumed common practice. Yet fucking nobody gets their packages delivered by drone. It's been over a decade.

    These robots are vaporware. Amazon will get a stock bump and that's the whole point.

  • It DOES NOT matter if it’s done with 3 feet to merge or 300 feet to merge. There’s no efficiency gain.

    Merging early leaves unused road. Shoving the cars into fewer lanes makes the traffic jam longer and makes it impact more interesections far behind the actual hangup. If you can merge early without slowing down, sure go for it. I'm mostly talking about the scenarios where it's already slowed to a crawl and people feel like they have to merge early to not be seen as "cutting in line."

    Edit, also to add, if everyone merges early even at speed, eventually, the car density in the reduced lanes will reach a point where people naturally slow down and you have bumper to bumper traffic.

    I suggest Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt for more.

  • Zipper merging.

    If your lane is closing ahead, it is better for everyone in traffic if you drive all the way to the end of the lane and cut in at the last moment.

    Note that this does not apply to exit lanes. The basic rule is if late merging blocks someone from going somewhere, merge early. Otherwise, merge as late as you can.

  • No pretty sure they're me.

  • Very interesting concept. Curious if it's as efficient as they say.

  • Yo momma so fat she sat on a binary tree and squashed it into a linked list in O(1) time.

  • Something poetic and quaint about a link to a Wikipedia article titled "Tree"

  • Math

    Jump
  • I think when I first saw this comic, the punchline was "what's a four?" which I find funnier.

  • Any storm big enough to knock out cell towers would probably ground all flights.

  • Not as good as the one in the video. Having them spread apart makes it too easy to interpret when the cup is vertical.

  • PSA: Don't pee on trees, pee on rocks if available. Some animals will lick your dry pee off trees because they're gross and this will hurt the tree's bark.
