There's an irony in that we want criminals to reform and rejoin society, yet we arrest them for doing so on their own initiative. He could have continued to commit crime, leaving a trail of bodies, and he probably wouldn't have b

"On penalty of perjury" basically always means nothing. Since being wrong isn't a crime, they have to demonstrate that you knew you were lying, which is either going to be impossible, or a long drawn out investigation. It is

You still might be able to. There are a lot of considerations for having humans around that robots don't need. Bathrooms, HR, qualms about unemployment, bad PR from treating warehouse workers poorly, parking spaces, aisle space to al

This is almost inevitable. The current situation is designed for humans. The boxes generally hold together; the number that fail either structurally (deformed) or catastrophically (contents destroyed) is probably within some tolerance. D

I would encourage you to read the opinion; it's a lot more nuanced than that. This bit struck me: Today’s majority disputes none of this. It accepts that a seizure of the inanimate objects mentioned in the Fourth Amendment

That will almost certainly vary from state to state. Texas allows it's citizens to use lethal force in a number of non-life-threatening scenarios. One of which is to protect your own property. You can shoot someone in the back provided

Flak cannons are a little different than a shotgun. They explode into shrapnel once they reach the end of their fuse. They're more similar to a grenade launcher than a shotgun, imo. I think a comeback is unlikely though. The travel

It's extremely hard to justify the value it provides over something more out of the box. From an engineering perspective, it makes sense. From a business perspective, it often doesn't make sense to spend 10x as much money to mak

This is likely unpopular, but I don't care for any of the laws regarding hate crimes. I do think hate crimes are awful, but I can't find a good reason why someone shooting their neighbor because of their race/religion/g

IANAL either, but my understanding is that only speech that presents "imminent lawless action" is illegal [1]. The unlawful action being advocated must be both imminent and likely in order for the speech to be unlawful. > If I

I didn't get enough tactile feedback while touch typing. It felt hard to tell whether the "click" feeling I got was from the key clicking or just from my finger hitting the key and bouncing off. Fwiw, I don't like any o

I have yet to see any evidence of malicious actors. There are anti-vaxxers, but they have a genuine belief as far as I can tell. They're not just here to watch the world burn for fun. I also don't see a prevailing reason why one

Addiction issues are mental health issues because there is no reward; it is not a rational choice. It follows that people with addiction issues are either not informed enough to make a rational choice, irrational, or for some reason are una

All members of a colonial animal are genetically identical, which I believe is why a man of war is an animal but an ant colony is a society. I don't think ants are genetically identical, although I'm not certain. Man o Wars are al

I would wager they're trying to increase their top of the funnel for recruiting. They want people to get these certs, then somebody else to hire them and give them on the job training, and then Google will hire them once they've

I'm not entirely convinced that this is going to work. I've spent some time looking into college educations, and I think the lede is buried on what the value actually is. For most roles that require a college degree, the actual

I think they mean it as the adjective form of the English word "focus", as in "focal point". Instead of "focal point" it's a "focal board".

I'm not super surprised by that. They're almost the only company competing at this low of a price range. I looked at laser cutters that could cut acrylic, and I don't think I found a single one cheaper than $2k or maybe $1.

In fairness, Tom MacDonald gets a lot of external publicity from conservatives; he's mostly a right-wing political rapper. I've seen a big rise in conservative rappers on YouTube. I've got a conspiracy theory that the GOP is
