Something got left off the list, unless "retribution" is supposed to cover it. When people see crimes go unpunished, they form lynch mobs. An unsatisfied angry population is a dangerous thing to have.

Car thieves don't steal cars while in prison. Bank robbers don't rob banks while in prison. Some crime may continue within the walls of the prison, but the world outside is protected. If a person would commit crimes for 40 years,

You're missing many issues that won't be fixed by more money: 1. Much of the world is low-density. (and we like it that way) Public transportation would be running empty nearly always. Anything less, and service times become awful

Competition is simply prohibited. It used to be that grades were posted publicly, for all to see. Instructors aren't allowed to do that anymore.

Elon Musk's tweet: "We’re going to try to catch the Super Heavy Booster with the launch tower arm, using the grid fins to take the load" That'll be fun. Grid fins tend to be jagged in order to avoid troubles at transonic

What counts as zoonotic? What counts as engineered? The lab was publishing research for many years. We know they grew bat viruses in HeLa cells that had been modified to have bat features. One would expect, as a simple matter of evolution,

Traditional outlets have the plates held on by just one screw. That screw runs through a piece of plastic that is just 0.4 inches (10 mm) wide. The screw pulls the whole plate against the wall, which probably sticks out a bit due to an unev

I suspect that a lot of the financially awful decisions come from relationship troubles. If you think your spouse will waste the money, you might try to spend it first. Of course, that is probably waste in your spouse's eyes, so your s

Flying above 400 feet is only a problem because aircraft can fly down at 500 feet. Do we really want aircraft at only 500 feet? I wouldn't want even a typical general aviation aircraft going over my house at that height. Make it an Air

It is common to have a bit which causes an instruction to update flag bits. PowerPC arithmetic instructions have an "Rc" field, usually the LSB, indicated by a trailing "." in the assembly syntax. ARM arithmetic instruct

The feature should be called "road rage assist". After honking the horn, it could bring the car to a stop. Then you get out and brawl. (it's not a full self-fighting car yet)

Flags don't have to add an extra implicit input/output everywhere. Both ARM and PowerPC avoid updating the flags unless explicitly requested. Besides fixed-size instructions and the traditional variable-size instructions, one can

It seems that sharing plans would be fine after verifying citizenship of the recipient.

He's planning for an F15 engine, which is another class entirely. If new, it's either the F100-PW-220/220E or the F100-PW-229. It has has a thrust of 17,800 lbf (79 kN) dry, or 29,160 lbf (129.7 kN) with afterburner. If he go

There was a Torsen Type A in the B5 platform revision of the Volkswagen Passat 4motion. It was in the center. Front and rear were plain differentials, with the brakes used for left-right issues. It worked very nicely on highways.

I have suggestions for a color picker. It's definitely non-traditional. Instead of a continuous gradient for the color, show patches of color in a randomized order. Display the colors over top of grayscale gradients of different sizes.

I have lots of kids. It's 10 to 14 depending on how you count: 1 unborn, 1 miscarriage, 2 legal adults still here, and 10 others. It takes an ordinary income just to feed them.

Over what distance? Using what technology constraints? Suppose we make it analog and parallel. Each pixel of the camera gets a separate connection to the matching pixel on the display, analog all the way. For a megapixel, we could run a mil

The bad low-light performance wasn't universal at that time. I made low-light performance a priority, so I got the Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D. Contributing factors may be that the pixels on the sensor are physically larger, and that the

Yes. He's 65 though, and probably demands more pay than would be justified. It's also a bit late at this point. The time to get things done was years ago.

No, it would not be a good time to present evidence. It could be classified. The evidence may need to be locked away for 40 years. Satisfying your demand is not enough reason to expose the means by which evidence has been gathered. At they

You presume he's wrong. Is it because of who he is, and you'd trust a different person? That wouldn't be fair, plus he has access to non-public information that could make the situation clear. Before even hearing his opinion,

The sound of a plucked guitar string probably ought to be expressed with chiplets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirplet_transform You could also use a physics-based model. That has lots of math, including calculus.

Unfortunately for that theory of conflicting bribes, much of the world is foreign. Bribes from foreign nations are mostly against the interest of country the politician is supposed to be running. Those bribes are incredibly cost-effective i

Compare with the alternative: Literally every top decision maker in federal government has a massive financial incentive to accept affordable bribes. Honest people have a massive financial incentive to find work elsewhere. That's our r

Future losses are included in the 100%. My assumption is 100% of lifetime salary. One can easily blow past that with a large family. There is probably an unspeakable truth behind the people you've known who pay nearly 100% of their sal

That thinking led to the corruption. Any normal senator, governor, or president has the skills to work at a high level in corporate America. That pays better, counting only the legitimate pay. It should be no surprise that voters are seldom
