You concentrate on the car in front of you and if you are too close...
Go back to driving school. When driving, you should not be concentrating in any one place, but rather accessing your surroundings, that is, the road directly in front, far ahead, behind, to the left and to the right, at all times. You should never depend on anyone else to signal to you what you should do, nor should you blindly obey any other person's signaling. You are the one who is ultimately in control of the vehicle, and you are the only one responsible when you rear-end someone. If you are too close. It is your fault. You are the one controlling your vehicle.
If you cannot consume the media without a copy of it being made (e.g., in the memory of the player), there's plenty of room for weasels in copyright law.
Well, Damn. I guess I can't listen to the any music without making a copy of it in soundwaves in the air, and then in the reverberations in my eardrum, and then the electrical impulses.... sheesh.
Unions are a good thing when they are kept on the smaller side. When they grow up, they become dangerous, self-serving monstrocities in their own right.
Why don't unions have a time limit or purpose-limit? Perhaps unions should only be allowed to form with a specific, fixed set of goals and be forced to disband when those are achieved? This way, people would have to actually rally and re-organize every time there is something they need changed. The increased effort could help to move the goals each time away from the petty or unreasonable.
Until electric cars can be recharged in about the same time it takes to fuel up an internal combustion car, they won't be practical replacements.
Why not? If you drive a few miles to work everyday and come home everyday, why can't you just top up overnight? How often do you need to refuel that you really need to have it done in minutes? If it's really that often, you might want to consider moving closer to where you work or getting a better car.
Yes. Because feedback is king. When solving difficult math or science problems, doing homework and then getting the grade back a week later does very little to help you learn. This is because by the time the grades get in, the train of thought during the problem-solving period is long gone. While hopefully future generations of parents will be able to mentor their own children in their younger years, the whole point of going to school or university is to be under the tutelage of someone very well versed in the material.
Students need to be applying and using concepts with the supervision of the teachers, who can guide them as they make mistakes or have difficulty. not the next day or a week later. This 'new' system sounds like what should have been happening all along. It's been done before in the form of apprenticeships or trade guilds
