[ "You’re right, it does have friction which produces heat but this is minimal compared to the cooling effect. Wind blows away the warm air from the surface of our skin and helps our sweat to evaporate (I’ll write at the end why this helps) and these effects are larger than that of the friction. Tangent: sweat evaporating cools us down because the molecules with the most energy (heat) evaporate first, thereby taking away more than their fair share of heat, hence the average temperature of the sweat decreases. Edit: you’ve probably seen the extreme effects of friction from the air when seeing things enter the atmosphere in films." ]

[ "This is a really complicated question, but I'll try to answer it as briefly as I can. Your computer is very much a kind of electrical machine, that manipulates the voltages of different wires, and is designed to preform calculations on those voltages. Scientists realized pretty early on in computer science, that a simple cost effective way to build computers was to use only two different voltage levels to represent different values, a high level and a low level. With just two voltages, you can represent numbers by encoding them into a number system called binary. In binary, we use the number 0 to represent a low voltage and 1 to represent a high voltage. With just one digit you can only have two numbers 0 and 1, but if you have more digits then you can have bigger numbers. In binary 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... gets converted to 0, 1, 10 (we added another digit for 2 because we ran out), 11, 100, 101, 110, 111... Once you can represent numbers in a computer, you can store other kinds of data by mapping the numbers to a code. For example if you want to represent the alphabet, you could make 0 a space, 1 the letter a, 2 the letter b, and so on. It's a code because the numbers represent something else, like letters. You can also represent computer instructions in a code (called machine code) and then you can design chips that read that code and execute those instructions. A chip that does this is called a processor, and the instructions it runs is called a program. You can also represent letters, and this kind of code is called an encoding. ASCII and ANSI are some simple encodings that you can use for English, and UNICODE is an encoding you can use for any language. You can also write letter codes that convert to machine code. This kind of code is called an assembly language, and a computer program that converts assembly to a new program is called an assembler. You can also write more complicated codes that you can use to create programs. This kind of code is called a programming language, and there are thousands of different programming languages with different levels of complexity. If someone says they are a coder, they probably mean that they write computer programs in a programing language. & #x200B; The 0's and 1's in the machine, by themselves are totally meaningless, and it's the machines ability to read those numbers as machine code, process those numbers with computer programs, or to convert them to a different format with encodings that make them useful. The computer can also just read them as binary numbers if it needs to, but binary is still a 'code' of sorts (called a number system) that converts those high and low voltages into numbers." ]

[ "The hardware devices in your computer all have a Hardware ID that Windows keeps track of. Each driver has four set of IDs (Vendor, Device, Driver Version, Revision - if I recall correctly). When Windows is asked to search the internet it checks with a repository Microsoft has. At its basic level, Windows requests a driver for a Hardware ID that is 'newer' than the driver it currently has. If there is one, it is downloaded and installed. If the driver can't be unloaded and replaced then you are prompted to reboot after the update to allow the driver in memory to unload and be replaced. Things can get a little more tricky with driver 'ranking' when there are multiple 'newer' drivers for a piece of hardware. In general Windows takes the driver that is the most trusted in those cases (based on who made it, if it has been 'certified' from Windows Hardware Quality Labs (or WHQL), etc...) The system works with the idea that in general, the \"newest\" driver is the best one, but it isn't always the case. EDIT: Changes words to make things clearer" ]

In large cavities such as your chest, pelvis or certain compartments in your leg, you can lose a LOT of blood; sometimes without knowing.

Treating an internal bleed is much harder since you may need to get inside past viral structures in difficult to reach spaces to stop it.

Ultimately its the voltage across you that will determine if you get shocked or not" ]

[ "Feudalism means a series of personal client-patron relationships, flowing down from the king. The main point of feudalism is a layer of sovereign-vassal relationships. There is a supreme sovereign at the top, with a few vassals, each of whom is also a sovereign to his vassals, and so on. Specifically, the king owns all the land in the kingdom. He then distributes the land to his major supporters - let's say his dukes. Each duke gets a giant section of the kingdom, and then splits it into further smaller chunks, distributing those to his... counts, let's say. Each count splits his lands and distributes them to barons. Each baron splits his land and distributes small chunks to his knights. The knight, as the base unit of nobility, works his land directly and/or using serfs - poor farmers who don't own any land (and are often effectively attached to the land as an asset, with no freedom of movement). Every knight owes taxes to his baron, who owes taxes to his count, who owes taxes to his duke, who owes taxes to the king. Money flows upwards to the king. Same with military service: a knight must show up for his baron's war party when called, barons must show up for the count's regiment, counts must show up for the duke's corps, the duke must show up for the king's army. In a purely feudal system, each level is loyal only to the level directly above it. So a knight must take orders from his baron, but *not directly from the count or duke*. The key phrase is: My vassal's vassal is not my vassal. Now, why did they shift away from the Roman model? Because Rome was super-centralized. All the feudal power flowed up to the city of Rome, and the citizens of Rome then internally had a kind of democracy. This democracy did not really apply to the people in the colonies, though. Once Rome fell and these lands became their own kingdoms, feudalism was the most effective means of a) establishing a power structure, b) reliably collecting taxes for the central authority (king), and c) maintaining the ability to gather a force of well-trained, well-equipped knights. Each small landowner was given land and serfs specifically to pay for his military equipment and combat training." ]

[ "First up, you have to understand that computers are built up on layers upon layers of technologies. I code on C# at work, I can use commands like 'send an email' and the technology I use knows how to do that. You have more low-level technologies below that, I can also call directly into the network and connect to an email server and talk to it in raw SMTP - the language that email servers talk to each other in. I could even talk directly to the network hardware in the computer and manipulate the electronic signals it pulses in to your phone line. It's how all those 1s and 0s end up creating beautiful 3d landscapes in games, no one is coding 1s and 0s, no one is clever enough to code in binary directly anymore (aside from some _very_ specialised areas) people code on layers which ripple down getting closer and closer to the computer hardware. So you have hundreds of technologies all working together to make your computer 'do its thing' made by hundreds of different companies / developers. Now, most computers are programmed in instructional languages. \"do step 1\" \"do step 2\" \"do step 3\". We wrap it up in all these fancy techniques but essentially its just a series of steps to make the machine do what you want it to do. Imagine I'm coding _you_. I tell you to walk forward 3 paces, open a door, walk through the door, turn right, turn on the light. Now imagine I've programmed another redditor to sneak in and lock your door. You run your code, walk forward to the door and the door won't open. Computers don't have imagination, they just follow the steps, so in that case the computer wouldn't know what to do, it would crash. There are hundreds of things that can go wrong like this, the door is locked, someone else is standing in the door, the provider of the door has changed how the handle works (windows update much?) or maybe in the hundreds of instructions I gave you I was drunk one night after working 14 hours straight and just told you to turn the wrong direction. All ways a computer can crash." ]

[ "A 737 can only land on a 'snow-covered' runway if it's significantly longer than the published runway length for the aircraft at the landing weight. The jet will use full reverse thrust for nearly the entirety of the stop; they also have anti-lock brakes to prevent too much skidding, so whatever stopping power the brakes can add is used to the fullest. For the most part, a runway is kept as clear as possible with plowing + de-icer so the plane is really just landing on a wet runway. To the guy who says that 'no tire can be expected to provide traction,' jets have to be certified to stop entirely without reverse thrust (on a dry runway) and many airports restrict the use of reverse thrust for noise consideration. Reverse thrust will decrease stopping distance by 20% or so, it doesn't do the whole job." ]

[ "This comes from the days when computers were much slower and monitors were huge and heavy boxes with thick glass on the front of the screen - the CRT, or cathode ray tube, uses intense electromagnets to shoot tiny bits of stuff at a screen that glows when hit by this stuff. That's how it makes colors and pictures, by changing how the stuff is fired at the screen and by aiming to make flat lines to cover the whole screen down from the top, 30 or 60 times every second. When this was going on, in the earlier days of computing, we hadn't figured out how to make colors exactly the same from Mac os and Windows and other computer operating systems. When we tried the normal way they looked different, and that did not work for us. So we tried to use this gamma value to preserve the color we would see on the screen from one device to another to make them match. But something went wrong when not everyone agreed on how or even if they wanted to use it at all. So all sorts of things happened, some devices used it right and others did not. It was a mess! The gamma value specifically tells the computer how much of the color to show, from none to all of it or possibly even more. That's because the gamma was used to say 'this device is already showing more green and red and blue than the one that made the image, so turn down the colors of this image so it looks right on this device' or 'this device naturally shows less green and red and blue than the one that made the image, so turn them all up to match'. Over time we realized how silly this was and fixed the problem in a better way so everything matched all the time outside of gamma images. Now the gamma value is a leftover of what was tried before, and most browsers don't use it or have a default set up to work in most cases. Better or worse depends on what you're doing. PNG is designed to be good on websites, so it can get smaller than a jpg or gif with the same picture. But not all browsers support it the same as jpg or gif formats, there are still old browsers out there still using the gamma values or trying to. Because of that it is a matter of knowing who will be using your site and images - if you need to use the old stuff jpg may be a better bet. If you have all new stuff png may work better. When you make new png files, the gamma can be left out to make it like a more efficient jpg format. Great question!" ]

[ "The ordinary numbers you're used to do two things: They order AND they quantify. If you want to count the number of oranges you have, you'll go through them one at a time and maybe say something like * \"1 Orange, 2 Oranges, 3 Oranges. I have 3 Oranges\" But not only have you quantified how many oranges you have, you've put them in an order based on how you count them. You have the first orange you counted, the second orange you counted, and the third orange you counted. So the number \"3\" quantifies the number of oranges you have, but the process of counting them orders them as well. In everyday life, there is little need to distinguish these two things. In fact, for ever ordinary ol' number, there is exactly one quantity corresponding to it and exactly one \"order structure\" for them. Sure, you can rearrange the order, but the order will always \"look the same\", there's no way for it not to come in the order First, Second, Third. So, this is what numbers do. They quantify things, and they order things. Now, you *can* count without ordering (this is what the [Chinese Remainder Theorem]( URL_1 ) was originally used for), but most of the time we think of counting through this ordering procedure. But, when you get to larger amounts of things, infinite amounts of things, the distinction between the ordering process and the quantifying process becomes very important. If you have all of the positive integers in a box {1,2,3,4,5,...}, then you can arrange them in many distinct orders: * 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... * 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...., 1 In this last one, we have put 1 after every single other number. This way of ordering the numbers is totally different from the first way of ordering them. So even though both of these lists of numbers have the same *quantity* of numbers, we an find structurally different ways to order them. This suggests that when we push into investigating infinitely large things that we need to split the two functions of numbers, quantifying and ordering, and realize each of these as a separate *type* of number. The numbers that describe the *quantity* of a collection of things is called a Cardinal Number. The numbers that describe the *order* of a collection of things is called an Ordinal Number. So the two infinite lists of numbers correspond to the same Cardinal Number, which we call \"Countable Infinity\" usually denoted ℵ*_0_* or \"Aleph Null\", but correspond to different Ordinal Numbers, in this case it would be 𝜔 (omega) and 𝜔+1. There are larger Cardinal Numbers than ℵ*_0_*, the real line has *more* points on it than the quantity ℵ*_0_* can count and the cardinal number that counts this is called the \"Continuum\", usually denoted **c**. We can then write ℵ*_0_* < **c**. But, there are tons, and tons, and tons of Ordinal Numbers that work with the quantity ℵ*_0_*, it takes a long time to get to something of the size **c** using nothing but Ordinal Numbers. [VSauce actually has a really nice video on the topic that is pretty accessible]( URL_0 ). TL;DR: Cardinal numbers are quantities." ]

[ "The human brain/body is a very powerful. I'll break down the question into a few parts. Human perception of distance is based on a bunch of different scenarios, but the easiest to explain is two eyes looking at a single object to determine distance. Think of a triangle with two points being each eye and the third being the object to determine the distance. This is the basic strategy in triangulation used in many technologies today. Essentially, the difference in images between two eyes calculates the perceived distance to the object (in the most simplest terms). This is all done constantly and without thought. Next we will take a moving object where this same strategy applies and calculate the distance the racquet head is versus the moving birdie. The birdie moves in a path that is relatively consistent so the brain can assume where the birdie will be instead of just where it is. This is how people catch baseballs etc. Your brain can also calculate where the racquet head will be and match that up with where the birdie will be. The accuracy of this is based on the individual and takes practice." ]

[ "I've interpreted the question primarily in the context of macroeconomics. No non-hack economists have used terms like supply-side economics and demand-side economics since the 1980s. Anyone who has got past undergraduate economics and expressed any interest in graduate school will have got to both aggregate demand and supply. In 2019, these terms are political ones that have basically no relation to the actual practice of economics. Returning to the question. Generally, what is considered to be supply-side economics, isn't actually supply-side economics. The main explanation for this concept goes something along the lines of \"if we reduce taxes, people can spend more and buy more things\". This is fundamentally a demand-side story. What the terms originally meant in the 1980s was a broad label between \"Old\" Keynesian (then not old) demand-management economics and a more broad non-novel belief that lower taxes and looser regulations would lower costs on firms and allow them to expand production. This is not an unreasonable idea. If it is expensive and difficult for firms to expand, they will do less of that. Making it easier and cheaper for them to do so has the same incentive effect as making Netflix cheaper will have on Netflix subscriptions. If it is expensive for firms to raise equity, they will do less of that, lowering their ability to invest in machines and other products. In the late 1970s, there was also something now called \"stagflation\", which was a generally stagnant economy accompanied with high inflation. In such an environment, increasing demand would likely cause higher inflation rather than any economic growth. And in that environment, such policies are eminently growth-increasing, and in the added context of higher interest rates intended to avert inflation, one of the few mechanisms by which government can avert recessionary tendencies. Politically, this idea has been massively overblown, even in the 1980s. You can find a general and relatively contemporaneous overview of the politicisation and general unreality of \"supply-side economics\" in the public imagination sold to them written by Martin Feldstein, _Supply Side Economics: Old Truths and New Claims_, 76 American Economic Review, 26 (1986). What Feldstein calls the \"new supply-siders\" massively overpromised and, in his opinion, discredited many of the more reasonable economists who made legitimate arguments with modest and reasonable predictions." ]

[ "> They have zero ways to estimate actual probability ratios! Of course they have, welcome to the real of statistics. There is a countable number of married celebrities, and a countable number of celebreties that get a divorce, and this gives a measurable marriage to divorce ratio over a given time, let's say a year. So we have 500 celebreties that are married in 2015, and of those 500 couples at the beginning of that year, 30 got a divorce (all numbers are completely fictional). So the probability for any given couple to get divorced is 6% every year. And now we take data over multiple years, and find that it's 5%, 6%, 11%, 3%, 4%, 6%, 5%, 5%, 7%, 0%, 4% from 2000 to 2011, giving us an avarage of about 5% in total. And now we introduce other criteria and look if they play a part in this... let's say actors married to musicians, are they having different values form actors with actors? And if you only have enough of those criteria, monitored over a long enough time, then you will eventually reach some kind of probability value, and based on that you can make odds that will always be in your favour same way as you would in roulette, once you know the probability of all the options, making odds for people to bet on is easy." ]

[ "One reason why wine glasses are narrower at the top than the bottom is to concentrate the aroma (smell) of the wine as this is a major component in the experience of wine tasting. The wide bottom of the glass also helps increase oxygen exposure of the wine by increasing surface area. Oxygenating wine can help develop flavors and may help get rid off off flavors that can develop from the wine making process There are also different glasses for different types of wine. As a general rule I use stemmed glasses for white wines and stemless for reds. This is because white wines are typically served chilled so having a stem keeps your hands off of the glass thus preventing the heat from your hand from warming the wine. Red wines on the other hand are typically served at room temperature so keeping them cold is not an issue." ]

Since many police union members (cops) don't want the cameras the unions can delay or prevent departments from adopting them.

The 'official' boundary of space, for records and legal uses, is 100 km up. This is approximately the height at which an aircraft could not create enough lift to fly using wings unless it flies so fast it's in orbit and doesn't need wings to stay up. But at 100 km there is still enough atmosphere that an orbiting object would be slowed down by drag and come back down to Earth within a few hours. Somewhat higher, about 350 km and above, the drag is low enough that satellites can orbit for months or years. The International Space Station periodically gets a boost from a rocket engine to compensate for drag slowly lowering its orbit. The outer limits of the Earth's atmosphere blend into the solar wind in interplanetary space, as the Sun's gravity and the speed of that solar wind become more important than the pull of the Earth at its distance. That's about halfway to the Moon, 200,000 km from Earth. Interplanetary space is far less dense than any vacuum we can make on Earth, but there is still stuff there.

[ "Here are a couple reasons in brief: 1) a subset of brain cells (POMC neurons) that typically signal \"I'm full\" switch to an \"I'm hungry/craving\" signal. 2) An increase in dopamine makes eating more enjoyable. 3) An increased level of the \"I'm hungry\" hormone (ghrelin) is pumped out. So you not only feel hungry, but giving into the craving has high reward." ]

[ "The curvature of the front surface of your eye is optimized for an air to lens interface. Goggles contain air, thereby making your eye work correctly. They have a flat front face, so that the air-plastic-water interfaces don't cause additional distortion. When water is in contact with your eye lens, it has a lens to water interface. While this sorta works, water has a different index of refraction than air, and the lens lacks sufficient adjustment to focus clearly." ]

[ "An HDR screen is a different concept to taking HDR photos. Although both relate to using a wider range of colours. A non-HDR screen only has 256 different levels of red, green and blue. So there's only a certain range of colours and brightness it can display. HDR screens increase this so there is a wider range of colours/brightness levels. True HDR screens are supposed to be capable of more brightness, but it's not just the maximum brightness that matters, it's how many levels of brightness each colour channel has. So for example you could have a movie in HDR which for the most part looks the same as the non-HDR version, except explosions are brighter. If you just turned the brightness up on the non-HDR version, everything would just look washed out because the brightness goes up for everything. The HDR version has more brightness levels to work with." ]

Later, one of the early petrol/oil motors that was very popular was called \"Cazeline\", and it's believed (though not thoroughly documented) that the term \"gasoline\" was coined as a portmanteau of sorts of \"gas\" and \"Cazeline\", and was often rendered in those days as \"gazeline\"." ]

[ "If I remember correctly from high school anatomy, the inside of your stomach is covered with ridges or wrinkles called rugae. When there is food in your stomach, these help to churn the slurry to aid digestion. As the stomach empties, however, the stomach constricts and the rugae rub together, causing a gurgling or grumbling sound. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, it has been a long time since high school. XD" ]

[ "Seminal fluid contains proteins, sugars, vitamins and other nutrients. Sperm are living cells. They require nutrients to survive their voyage. They also require a medium in which to travel. Without a fluid they wouldn't be able to travel. It also contains enzymes to counteract vaginal fluids. The vagina is a hostile environment, very acidic. Many sperm die before making it anywhere near the egg. The sperm is ejaculated at such high velocity that many of them die on impact with the vagina. The sperm must then find a path of least resistant through the acidic vaginal fluids. Many go into a dead end, become surrounded and die. They must then travel up one of two fallopian tubes to reach the egg. Typically only one tube actually contains an egg so half will travel up the wrong tube and die. Once reaching the egg it doesnt take one sperm to get in. Usually the first sperm to the egg is not the winner. The egg has a protective coating. The tip of the sperm contains enzymes meant to erode the eggs protective coating. The enzymes of one sperm is not sufficient to get through. It will deplete its enzymes, tire out and die. One of the sperm after that will complete the erosion and once one sperm makes it into the egg it sets off a chain reaction that basically solidifies the egg coating preventing any other sperm from getting through. The rest die. Being a sperm is very dangerous. The fact that you even made it is a miracle." ]
