If another country passed a law that states that if one person purchased a game, they can make unlimited copies for their friends and give them away for free, that would seem to more obviously damage Valve’s business model. For a small cou

If their business model no longer works in France, why should they continue the market?

Ruined whose lives? Some accountants in Facebook and Google probably got fired. But, then it was likely their job to not fall for such a scam. I’ve been told that this is a common technique, just typically not at this scale.

Why isn’t the doctor disbarred for this? It’s an ethics violation, and likely not the first.

Thanks for posting. My understanding is that the Bradley served well in Iraq, taking out many Iraqi tanks. Did this article’s criticism hold up?

The benefits per dollar or per meter? How many passengers are traveling on a bus on Van Ness in a given rush hour?

I notice that my recall is much better if I had learned the information while moving... either driving a car (actively aware of my surroundings) or on a walk. I can typically think back to exactly where I was when I learned something.

Once you have enough money, you realize there’s more to life than just money. Philanthropy is a way to help make society better, to give back in ways in which the government is unwilling or unable to fund. For some, it’s a way to get recogn

I’d call this bold.... ideals aside, maybe she calculated how much she’d win in the lawsuit? Possibly a large net win?

I thought if you’re not constructing bridges, or dealing with high voltage or pressure vessels... you don’t need an engineering lic. Heck, I’ve worked on many FAA class A flight critical projects in Arizona, without a board licensed enginee

No comments about dog lifespans? Come on genetic engineering, give me a Labrador that lives 20 years and doesn’t shed.

It’s hard to imagine that Tesla would bring a product to the reveal stage without running a crash simulation or two. Although the panels look sturdy on the outside, it’s possible for there to be internal (on the reverse side) cuts/scor

Not sure if I want to live my life like I’m planning a bank robbery at any minute. Seems more effective to petition your representative to restrict use of this data.

A 97000 ton aircraft carrier is equal in weight to the amount of air in a 450M x 450M x 450M cube. Aircraft carriers are only 320M long, so this doesn’t seem that far fetched.

I’m thinking more about a battlefield like Afghanistan, where the opponents aren’t firing anything larger than a stinger, and there is already air superiority. As buoyancy is a function of volume, which increases to the third power, and arm

Wonder if you can slip it off the balcony. From one story up, I bet it lands fine into the back of a pickup. Heck, you could probably haul another one up with a winch, and cover your tracks or at least have plausible deniability.

I’ve always wondered why the military hasn’t created massive airship aircraft carriers using a collection of small bladder cells each isolated from the other, inside of a heavily armored hull. Such a platform could remain stationed above a

I have a theory that restricting an on-ramp/off-ramp for one street during peak rush hour will significantly improve traffic flow on my freeway commute. I’ve taken the time to propose the change to my department of transportation, sugg

Can’t SpaceX just provide a database of Starlink satellite locations, allowing astronomers to query the database, and shutter their imagers at the appropriate time? Seems like a simple solution.

I could see justification for clawback on any stock awarded or exercised for the executives responsible for 737 Max problems, but I don’t see any evidence that the 737 Max is unredeemable.

The Vietnamese Americans I know came during the end of the Vietnam war. I don’t see them supporting a car company from that communist country.

Am I going to drop $2300 sight unseen? No. I’d be willing to go to a Microsoft store or Apple store to try one out. The technology might be great, but they need to work on their marketing.

They should provide the breakdown of accused specifically for Non-Consensual Sexual Penetration. They lump all sexual assault together and then break down by accused, which seems like they’re trying to hide that it’s the drivers who are do
