A harsher punishment isn't going to solve the problem. These kids aren't doing this shit because they expect to get caught. The real problem is the militarization of the police force, and the idea that all it takes is a random pho

Blue Origin is also working on New Glenn (a much larger reusable rocket), as well as Blue Moon (a flexible moon lander). I suspect that Bezos is following a little bit of the same playbook with Blue Origin that he did with Amazon. Amazon is

I think you might have a misunderstanding about the end goal of mindfulness. There is more than one way to practice mindfulness, but the goal of any mindfulness technique is to achieve a state of alert, focused relaxation by deliberately pa

ANY kind of competition in the field of space travel should be welcome. I think you are seriously underestimating the demand for a truly safe platform for shuttling people and payloads from earth's surface to outer space. Space is the

Maybe the argument is that the bank never had the right to sell the copyright in the first place? The whole story just reeks of greed to me. My personal opinion is that the photos should be in the public domain. America's copyright sys

You can use Steam Link to stream games from your PC to your phone or tablet. For decent handheld controls, simply pair a PS4 or PS5 controller (or even an Xbox Series X controller) with your phone/tablet over bluetooth. All you need no

If the hackathon has a $10,000 cash prize for first place, you honestly think that people aren't going to show up with pre-built stuff?

I've actually won three separate hackathons, some of which had fairly large prizes (such as $5,000 in cash to our team). Here's my quick list for how to win a hackathon: 1. Pick team mates who are rock stars (I had at least one &q

Programming languages are just like tools in your toolbox. Use the hammer to hammer in nails, and use the screwdriver to drive in screws. For example, maybe use Ruby on Rails to rapidly prototype a data-base driven CRUD app, but when you ne

Anyone who thinks they are going to make a difference by abstaining from driving their car is woefully misinformed. We have cargo ships right now that are burning dirty oil and producing massive amounts of pollution. It has been estimated t

If someone ACTUALLY is a savant with Asperger's or autism, is it disrespectful to point that fact out when you are gauging the importance of their predictions?

Realistically, even fake meat sold as "lab grown" could be cheaper than normal meat if what they are doing is turning low quality meat into paste and forming it into shapes and stuff.

This is kind of a weird question, but how exactly does anyone prove that this is actually lab grown meat and isn't just normal meat that has been turned into meat paste and then sold for twice as much as normal meat? I mean, obviously,

One big problem with the current internet is that the DNS for the top level domains (like .com) is controlled by centralized entities, such as ICANN. This means that the entire internet can technically be taken offline very easily if ICANN
