  • He is correct that the forces are different. The equation for centripetal force is Fc = Mv2/R.

    Radius is the distance from the focal point, and each seat will be different distances.

    So he is technically correct that seat position could be calculated in perfect conditions with accurate measurements.

    But none of the data that reaches this service will be remotely accurate or complete enough to make that determination. It will only have one passengers phone data, and even if it collected everyones phone data, phone sensors have a margin of error well above what the difference would be. GPS data is only even marginally accurate up to something like 6ft, and really not even then. Then cars have a lot of other factors like suspension and compression in seats, etc, that would absorb enough of the forces to muddy the data even if accurate sensors were everywhere.

    Tl;dr; another cocky person that took a few physics courses but walked away with a poor understanding of real world applications talking out their ass.







  • I find the “clean history” argument so flawed.

    Sure, if you’re they type to micro commit, you can squash your branch and clean it up before merging. We don’t need a dozen “fixed tests” commits for context.

    But in practice, I have seen multiple teams with the policy of squash merging every branch with 0 exceptions. Even going so far as squash merging development branches to master, which then lumps 20 different changes into a single commit. Sure, you can always be a git archeologist, check out specific revisions, see the original commits, and dig down the history over and over, to get the original context of the specific change you’re looking into. But that’s way fucking more overhead than just looking at an unmanipulated history and seeing the parallel work going on, and get a clue on context at a glance at the network graph.

    Definitely intentionally deceiving by OP.

    Working with exotic animals at a sanctuary is basically a labor of love. It’s a shitty industry to make a living in, but these kinds of places usually run on fumes.

    Still, the training fee, walkie deposit, and not supplying the tour vehicle are pretty sus.









  • It’s strange to need to spell this out.

    The issue isn’t whether or not the deer needed to be killed. That’s a different argument that was rendered irrelevant, by the way this psycho killed it.

    I.E. this sick fuck, who also had a badge and can conceivably commit similar acts of depravity to humans, tortured and killed an animal in a brutal way.

    Whether the deer “needed” to be culled is irrelevant after such a heinous act.

    It’d be like nitpicking that subway security was too lax to catch a guy from jumping over the bars, after that person went on a shooting spree immediately afterwards. The turnstile jumping is completely irrelevant at that point.
