This is outright false for many stimulants. The DEA strictly controls the amount of precursor released to the manufacturer's based on their assessment of "legitimate medical needs". This is the case for all scheduled substanc

If they are counting people who were only served a "like" button on other site's pages, this announcement boils down to "the internet is a big place! Full story at 11."

I cashed out all of my bitcoin holdings during the boom times so I can't speak for anything past October of 2013, but I believe Gox was still cashing out to USD until mid December or so(?) and Yen for a few weeks past that. Honestly, a

(a) seems to be the generally accepted reason behind the runup to $1200 but (b) is patently false. I sold coins on coinbase and mtgox during this period and received deposits of USD within the week. The amounts were all below the six figure

Campaign issues get made out of topics or concerns that statistically relevant numbers of people consider a good enough reason alone to vote for someone, these are called "single issue voters" -- Abortion is generally the easiest

As someone who uses FFMPEG heavily in a professional capacity, I really wish the various community leaders and contributors could come together and build better tools for everyone-- as opposed to the current status quo where both sides seem

Drones can be engineered to be far more resilient to failure than what we are currently seeing today. The DJI Phantom for example only has 4 rotors and a single battery, so any one failure of a component in the power train or controller wil

Can anyone present one other instance where an issue with the camera, recording medium or data corruption at any stage of the process between capture and youtube that has resulted in a video with these characteristics? I'd say your mon

Are the police not capable of reading wired on their own? The article is quite public. I can't imagine this could be published without the relevant law enforcement agencies being aware of it on their own. In general, I would feel uncom

Don't forget the ultimate technological crosstie here: Using the phone as a controller for the drone.

I wonder where people could have gotten it into their minds that "drones" operate above the law, or that their operators can kill whomever they please without consequence.

How much experience do you have with the lithium polymer batteries commonly used on hobbyist drones? I've been flying for a little over a year now and personally seen some pretty gnarly LiPo failures in that time. I would _not_ want to

Can you clarify exactly where the line is between what you've done here today, and an outright swatting? I'm not trying to equivocate the two, but it would seem they both exist somewhere on the same continuum of personal informati

>Meanwhile, in China, whenever the government needs some money they just print it up at the PBOC and hand it out, usually to bail out bad debts to state owned enterprises, but at least they aren't sticking it to the taxpayer like we

NIF is always strangely silent, because they don't exist to drive progress towards fusion based electrical power generation, they exist to validate and test miniaturized nuclear weapon designs.

Cars are similarly locked down, as are many (most?) consumer electronics devices. Buildings have an even more complex system of restrictions placed on them, called fire/building/electrical codes, albeit the enforcement is more nua

Notice how other people in this thread can level criticisms at both the topic of discussion and towards one another while flying their own handle? Notice how you cannot do this?

b.) A lot of ivory has falsified paperwork. A centralized database just creates a lucrative side business for the sysadmins.

If so, there have to be better ways to fight poaching. Why not legalize it? Given how large the current black market is "farming" ivory has to be a viable enterprise at some level. Cows aren't going extinct anytime soon, why

This is the real barometer to watch-- as long as university presidents are pulling down a million a year you won't convince me that Uber was displaying their "Asshole" nature by "poaching" these guys.
