I get where you're coming from but realize that you're advocating for indefinite sentences, which are inhumane, combined with a board of fallible, perversely incentivized people who will determine who is rehabilitated and who isn&

Even that doesn't make any sense, because refusing to encode characters that require four bytes doesn't save any space; it just makes it impossible to encode those characters. Nothing about the other encoding lengths changes. The

It needs propulsion to get into orbit. On its current trajectory, without some delta-v, it would zip right by L2. Once in orbit, it needs propulsion to stay there. It also needs propulsion for attitude control. It does have reaction wheels,

The way this headline is written reminds me of a recent article that asked if you would rather have a treatment with a 10% chance of death or one with a 90% chance of success. This is from an advocacy organization that is more or less anti-

I was always tempted to knock on people's driver-side windows when I saw them looking at their phone. Never did - figured they'd probably startle, with a non-zero chance they'd accidentally fling the car into me.

You seem to be confusing a stick with mechanical linkage. Airbus aircraft don't have mechanical linkage; there is no "direct control of aircraft control surfaces." Even in the degraded modes, you're still going through t

I've put people on PIPs. I genuinely wanted them to do better. They did. Like you said, they are a tool for laser-focusing attention on specific, well-defined issues. There is no actual ass-covering need to put someone on a PIP. If a c

Electric cars are apparently much better in these situations than gas-powered cars, because you can keep the heat on for hours and hours without using up much charge (or creating any CO). Don't personally know if that's true but i
