  • In WW2 the Brits went out of their way to "leak" completely plausible reasons why they knew everything about German plans. It was a big effort, all meant to put the Germans at ease and mask the real reason: they had broken the German encryption and had their codebooks.

    I'm saying that if "traffic cameras" are revealed as the reason, you can be sure they have other, way better, channels for such information.

  • Indeed. And my insinuation was that in the times we live in, such obvious things are not obvious anymore.

  • Tl/dr: it's at 2 million, about 5x more than in 2022.

  • How come planets move around in a circle for left to right or whatever? Why not a up and down circle like a target logo? I can explain further. thanks ahead of time.

  • It used to be kinda like a sphere (of mostly gas and dust) at one point, or more exactly, everything was moving in vague orbits without preference.

    But with movement like that you can imagine that things bump into each other. And when they bump, part of their energy turns into heat and part of it remains as slightly slower movement (when they bounce/glance off and continue in roughly the general direction they were going before the collision). Slower movement means the orbit tightens around whatever thing it's orbiting.

    That cloud of gas/dust must have had the slightest swirl in it. That means things collided slightly less when moving in the direction of the swirl, and more when against or perpendicular to it. Like moving in a crowd, it's easier to move with the crowd than against or perpendicular to it.

    Over eons, the orbits got tighter and tighter because of the collisions and heating up, until the whole movement distilled itself into just the swirl - the only thing they all agreed on. Anything moving otherwise was likely to hit something and lose its movement.

  • Research suggests mating direction bias between Neanderthals and humans

  • Ok, I didn't mean for things to get insulting. My first comment to them was a neutral attempt at telling them there is something else they could do instead. Their reply was a rude "no!" so I wrote back more reproachfully.

    I realize it's a bit of a fight against windmills. People will do what they please and the platform will float towards whatever the natural equilibrium position of such platforms is, so I'll just let it go.

  • There's a certain cost-benefit imbalance in these habits: sure, it's not a great cost to leave some litter around. People can just step over it. But while one person marginally benefits from it, hundreds more pay the (also tiny, admittedly) cost of the unpleasantness. When you multiply it like that, the negligible becomes gligible.
