To an extent it’s both. I mean intent-wise it’s all about the occupants of the car, but as a side effect it also slightly reduces the impact on the pedestrian. The way I would think about it is that crumple zones on their own aren’t nearly enough to protect pedestrians, but removing them would be going completely in the wrong direction

Nah I’m sorry I think this is bullshit. Obviously warming up with a ball can be important for performance reasons, but in terms of injury prevention they just need to move around a bit and stay warm. No one’s stopping them from doing some quick drills while they wait.
You can dislike the waiting around for other reasons if you want, but you can’t have players standing around doing nothing, and then blaming var when they get cold
Not disagreeing with you, but counterpoint: city and spuds
Interesting. I love Frida, but I do think she needs a rest so I’m happy to see her on the bench. I’ve never loved a back 5 tbh, but we’ll see how it goes. Excited to see how Codina does
Gotta own it now. His name’s Jobas
I want to preface this by saying that while I have done some undergraduate work in this area, I am by no means an expert on this topic. If I’m wrong or missing some context, hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can comment and correct me.
This doesn’t really seem like much to me. The major quantum threat is Shor’s algorithm, which gives an attacker with access to a sufficiently powerful quantum computer the ability to easily solve the discrete log problem. This new protocol still relies on the discrete log problem, and is therefore still vulnerable to the same threat. I don’t understand everything in the paper, but from what I can tell I think they just made DH a little more robust in general, rather than actually providing a long-term quantum solution.
I think it’s just a mistake in the graphic. F1 app has him 11th, ahead of Ocon
That’s actually crazy. It’s one thing for a team like us or city to crash out cause we were unprepared and/or didn’t play well, but for teams like that to be guaranteed to not qualify just cause of the way the system works is insane
Why do people keep downvoting every time you post tdk videos? I like his stuff
I’m going to assume this is just a bit of rust since the team just started training together a week ago. But yeah, a lot more nervy than I would’ve liked
From a physics perspective, yes it does. Not much, but yes it does do something.
In order for a crumple zone to work, the material must be at least slightly softer than the rest of the structure. When you have a collision, both the strong structure and the relatively weak crumple zones will flex, but the crumple zones will flex more. In a big collision, like with another car, they might flex so much they have permanent damage (the crumple), but even with a pedestrian they will flex a little. The more they flex, the more it cushions the impact for both the pedestrian and the occupants of the car.
As I said, the amount of cushion for the two parties is massively skewed in favor of the car, and crumple zones alone are not anywhere near enough to make cars safe for pedestrians. But objectively, yes they do slightly cushion the impact for a pedestrian, and in the perfect edge case collision it might mean the difference between life and death.
