And also, how capable is the system of self-correctness to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time?
If there's tension in the village, if attendance at the schools goes down and there's a friction between the teacher and the parent, the puppet calls the teacher and the parent in front of the whole village and says, "Shake hands.
Another spooky property is that it flows with absolutely no viscosity or friction, so if you were to take the lid off that bottle, it won't stay inside.
It was released in Poland to create friction between Frank and Hitler, so that Hitler would imagine Frank was trying to usurp his power.
But now let's turn those compounding losses around backwards, and every unit of flow or friction that we save in the pipe saves 10 units of fuel cost, pollution and what Hunter Lovins calls "global weirding" back at the power plant.
In classical physics, there is always some friction, some energy loss.
Just like race car drivers can use all of the friction between the tire and the road, all of the car's capabilities to go as fast as possible, we want to use all of those capabilities to avoid any accident we can.
When you do this, you'll quickly realize that you spent all of your time on the interface between man and machine, specifically on designing away the friction in the interaction.
In fact, this friction is more important than the power of the man or the power of the machine in determining overall capability.
What Kasparov calls process is a byproduct of friction.
The better the process, the less the friction.
And minimizing friction turns out to be the decisive variable.
Instead, people will have to look at data and search for insight, and as Licklider foresaw long ago, the key to great results here is the right type of cooperation, and as Kasparov realized, that means minimizing friction at the interface.
The friction in the process did not allow for meaningful results in an operational time frame using humans, PDFs and tenacity alone.
What if we could have connectivity with less friction?
These tuned structures allow the spines, friction pads and ultimately the adhesive hairs to grab onto very challenging, difficult surfaces.
And the friction that's generated locks it in place and prevents the spring from retracting the tip.
What if, in between the city and the sea we have a forest, a forest that doesn't try to resist the energy of nature, but dissipates it by introducing friction?
So we had some 21st-century gear, but the reality is that the challenges that Scott faced were the same that we faced: those of the weather and of what Scott called glide, the amount of friction between the sledges and the snow.
There was a lot of friction, but not much else, and I gradually realized the brilliant, creative people that I'd hired didn't know each other.
An object in straight-line motion will move forever unless something, like the friction of the ground beneath it, causes it to slow down and stop.
And what kind of super socks and super shoes is he putting on his feet to withstand all the friction that results from dragging his 5,400 pound body against the road when he runs?
When we move past these things in the air, we're rubbing against them and creating a lot of friction, which results in heat.
So, if we're running at 25,000 miles per hour, the heat from friction would burn our faces off.
So you would burn up due to atmospheric friction.
The second law of thermodynamics tells us that energy tends to spread out through processes like friction.
Any real machine would have moving parts or interactions with air or liquid molecules that would generate tiny amounts of friction and heat, even in a vacuum.
In the perfect world of plasma, there are no collisions and no friction to provide the stability like we are used to.
But still, if you slightly perturb a plasma equilibrium, you will find that the resulting electric field spontaneously vanishes, or damps out, as if by some mysterious friction force.
And it reminds me that sometimes, you have to just focus on designing for a real need at low friction.
