You seem to be suggesting that frozen roads paradoxically make for safer driving? Is that a fair characterization of your comment?

The fine for a first time offence at a massive chain restaurant should be proportional to whatever a mom and pop restaurant would pay. The first one should be a slap in the face wake up call for the entity receiving it and the sequential sh

Fines should absolutely be proportional to the income of the entity being fined. Not only should they be proportional but they should have an exponentially increasing rate for reoffense of the same or similar crime with a cooling off period

It sounds like it is a good tool for getting you up to speed on a subject and you can leverage that newfound familiarity to better search for reputable sources on existing platforms like google scholar or arXiv.

Violent crime, sure, but white collar crime and blatant corruption of our institutions hasn't abated and our inability to grapple with it is the fundamental cause of all of the other issues in our society today.

Any idea if the FAA will change the rules regarding having ADHD and a private pilots license? It's really disheartening to know that I'm not allowed to fly recreationally from time to time because I take a stimulant medication to

That isn't a satisfying answer because humans can obviously generate germline cells that don't suffer from this issue. So the question becomes why can't somatic cells repair themselves to be as healthy as germline cells?

Maybe the issue with society is that we don't care about efficiency? We throw away 1/3 of the food that we make. We're overweight and waste energy from carrying that excess weight. We're less physically active as a resu

You sound pessimistic about these sorts of things. How long do you think it will be before a reliable dish washing / laundry doing domestic bot is on the market? a decade or two? And how long after that do you think such a device will

Is that so? It amuses me that Apple will block that EU mandated store stuff if you move a EUnphone to the US after a few weeks (at least I understand that to be the case) but doesn't do the same for this feature.
