NP. Yes ABS is designed to avoid exactly that issue, essentially by implementing in a mechanical way what drivers used to do manually - pumping the brakes etc.

They're "brakes" and it's "braking". Yes, I know the previous commenter got it wrong as well.

The usual problem with slamming on the brakes is that it causes the wheels to lock up and slide instead of slowing the vehicle down.

Yep, exactly. We already have exceptions for these dogs now in many cases.

They already told us that their optimisations consist of them telling us to buy better hardware.

You will know us by the trail of our rubbish.

I think General Relativity is based on the idea that a frame of reference that's in freefall is equivalent to one that in a gravity free region of space (at least that was one of Einstein's Gedankenexperiments that led him to his theory of GR).

Having said that, in reality a sufficiently strong gravitational field will cause a tidal effect, which will crush you along one axis and pull you apart along another.

Yes, it is him.

"THIS WEBSITE IS A JOKE"

That picture and caption is outstanding.

Idollatry!

Normally black holes are considered to be everything up to the event horizon. E.g., from the Wikipedia page:

The size of a black hole, as determined by the radius of the event horizon, or Schwarzschild radius, is proportional to the mass, M

The term "black hole" derives from the fact that beyond a certain point light can't escape, that point being the event horizon.

Midnight Run is a classic late 80s buddy film, albeit with bounty hunters instead of detectives.

The Kid Detective is another detective dark comedy.
