   If they committed crimes together, not hard. If things like political crimes can be punished by death, even easier. If the king says “get me a pair of identical twins condemned to death” very easy. Go into a poor neighborhood, find a pair o

   It’s not large scale because it’s super expensive. You don’t have a problem with helicopter noise because they are almost no helicopters.

   Exactly, people with that much money can lobby against any noise restrictions.

   The people with the money for these have the political power to force others to deal with the noise. Already, helicopters have remarkably few restrictions. If you can afford one, you can fly it almost anywhere you want.

   How many times has Brown taken these actions in response to other work by their staff? Surely quite a few Brown papers must have had shoddy methodology.

   How much of East African marathon dominance is for similar reasons to the cricket dominance of former British colonies?

   I wouldn’t say robust beyond dispute, but Brown disavowed their own professor’s research because it disagreed with the orthodoxy: https://thefederalist.com/2018/08/31/explosive-ivy-league-st...

   I mean clearly some people work for other reasons. Tom Brady still wants to play football at age 43 after achieving enough for two separate Hall of Fame careers. Meg Whitman is CEO of a new company even though her net worth is over $5 billi

   Hm, then I suspect that soon enough those benefits will go the way of the LL Bean return policy.

    Yeah, most men work because people depend on them. I don't like my job but I show up at work because what the hell else would I do? I have two kids who need food and a roof over their head.

    I thought that government benefits in the US were shite? I can understand why European men might opt-out but I thought that you were basically dooming yourself to homelessness without a job in America. How are these men living?

    How does it mean that? There are much cheaper phones without bloatware, and iPhones with very little "bloatware" -- there are built-in apps but only one or two of them are shitty.

    I drove my friends Model S and the performance felt like a Ferrari but the cabin interior felt like a Hyundai. I find that OK, since a company needs to specialize when building a brand and Tesla seems to have focused on driving experience a

    If we're going to put executives in jail (and I agree we should) why won't we figure out how to get the creators of the opioid crisis in jail, body count ~500,000, the Boeing execs who have killed 300+ people, etc... until we figu

    If Google wins, does that mean that anyone can make third-party compatible software without permission from the owner? That third-party Teddy Ruxpin tapes, for example, which were sued out of existence, would be protected? http:/&#x2F

    The Supreme Court makes tons of decisions that change the direct history of the world. The Court has decided many cases FAR more important than this one.

    I think that if you sell IoT hardware you should be legally required to support it or refund active users. That way companies will support it long enough to minimize the refund costs.

    Wrong, way more depreciation comes from mileage than vehicle age. I used to build statistical models for this.
