That's why I gave two "lesser punishments", which also are apparently not used.

And, who ever got executed for spying domestically? Who ever got a prison sentence in line with the rough prison sentences the US happily gives out for much lesser offenses? Wo ever got so much as a bad performance review? Noone? Why am I n

A limited liability structure still did not protect you from criminal activity in the past. Nothing really changes.

I'd argue: money well spend. Also, smaller schools usually perform better when it comes to student success.

Software Engineering is still in the stage of early industrialism - when James Watt built his steam engine, or Carl Benz built his car, they did not have specification documents. They tinkered and made it work, moving around assemblies unti

Hm, 2.5 miles are 4 kilometers - perfectly walk- and bikeable. Any teenager easily can do that, over here, they would. I do not see the issue, especially since it will not hit everyone. Alternatively, and this may be a radical idea: If your

Don't forget about the countless wars of aggression the US has waged virtually everywhere on the globe in the last 80 years, or the constant 'regime changing' in unstable countries, most of them leading to an endless stream o

Germany is essentially the 'why not both' girl [1]. No worries, those 100B Euros will come right out of additional taxes. I want to point out that if we wouldn't get involved in foreign wars, we would not need that either. La

Veto powers are a good thing as long as you don't have too many parties involved. With an EU27+++, they are unsustainable (as seen by what has become known as the Visegrad block). So, as an EU citizen: Let's get rid of these.

It's funny ... the article makes a great reading about creeping authoritarianism, but all I get from each paragraph is "do not hire Stanford graduates that left after 2013". These organisations exist in their splendour becaus

If you talk to unemployment offices, worldwide, that's pretty easy: accept any job, for any salary. There's always work in the sulphur mines. It's better to try and improve yourself without involvement by biased and agenda-ed

No need for a complete redesign. Further up, it was suggested to put the schools near to where the students are - in the suburbs. That's a common sense policy Europe does naturally, and which everyone who spent some time playing SimCit

Hm, story time. I was attending a boarding school in the 1990s as an 'external' student (which means I lived at home and commuted in each day). They started their first period at 7:15 am, because that allowed everyone to go to mes

Outside of hobbyist circles (may their brains match their guts), car engines in planes have a rocky history. There was a big push in the 1990s to put "modern car engines" into GA planes, mostly diesel. It ... didn't go well.

It is, though. Designers receiving no pushback will just get more 'creative' and make the world a worse place for everyone involved.

So many half-truths, it's good they came labeled. (1) A "genocide" is, by definition, the attempt to "kill a people". Given that Russia denies Ukrainians are actually a people (that they may have thought differently

Cars - when the switch came from leaded to unleaded fuel - were more robust machines by an order of magnitude, and engine failure in cars means you have to call a garage. Engine failure in a plane means you are likely dead. I'm all for

What engines really don't like is constantly switching between leaded and unleaded fuel. Deciding that on a per-state basis would mean you'd need a California plane that only operates in California, and another Nevada plane for Ne

You get on a slippery slope pretty easily here. Just consider how heavily the Overton window moved in these last 10 years - what was baseline liberal in 2010 is often treated as right-wing to borderline fascist today.
