>To modify a front loading single shut gun you do have to modify the chamber. Muzzle loaders area actually dangerous to the shooter. And outdated inefficient for most modern shooting sports and hunting. You could just as well tell people

If hobbyist can do it, then its easy for mafia, street gangs and drug cartels. Do you want those people to have more power and fresh markets?

Did you know there are lots of hobbyists who cast their own bullets? Any diameter is doable to them.

In U.S. you can buy belt fed machine gun. But you need a special licence. If you remove the full auto functionality of such gun, you can buy belt fed anything as much as you want without any licence. Single shot handgun is incredibly bad fo

I'm not an expert in the field, but I'm pretty certain the writer of this piece is neither. He is not using correct units and seems to be misusing the term "fatigue strength". The proper way of conducting this kind of ma

My life experience and recent knowledge from psychoanalysis is that from time to time you really should step outside of your comfort zone... to the slightly uncomfortable and bit scary zone. But going into terror or agony is often counterpr

Air traffic control is difficult and gets more difficult with more planes in the pipeline. At very least we can safely assume that reputation of unsafe airfield is very unprofitable.

Looks like A380 with the max seating capacity of 853 would be significantly cheaper to operate per seat than anything out there. The current installed maximum is 615, hinting that the market is not quite there yet. I could imagine that some

I see your point but you didn't really tackle the problem at hand. To detach the situation from current feelings, let's take a time trip back to hypothetical year ~1975. Let's say it's illegal to register a NGO, company

I think the difference is that in "thar" culture you begin with 100 honor points and can only lose them. In western "honor" culture you start with 0 honor points and you are expected to gain them. The first system makes

I don't want user groups where people can discuss. I'm extrovert and I'm drawn to comment sections of everything. As a result I get stuck on facebook comment sections. And this kills the time I would use for face to face soci

People are pretty OK with price discrimination all the time if its open. Like "discount for veterans" and nobody bats an eye.

I'd be first one to point out that many military related technologies often have overall peaceful impact. My favorite example would be anti tank mine. It has to be dug on the spot, so it's used mostly defensively. It costs around

So you could own several guns, but only use one of them? I can't see anybody voting for that. Children using their parents guns is pretty neatly tackled here in my country by mandatory gun safes.

I'm from a country with very strict gun laws. That's why I know the data on illegal guns, there is apparently no such thing as "illegal gun" in U.S.A. The only thing that facial recognition would help in my country would

Gun making companies would love that. As resale would be practically impossible. No cheap guns to satiate your love of variation. Markets for new guns would increase. Police would probably hate it, because having your side arm malfunction i

I can only see number 3.) to be actually beneficial to some people. Most of those could easily go horribly wrong. Like nobody let's police to backstage while there is crime going on. Or supermarket doing post purchase price adjustments

It amazes me that there is seemingly complete void of ethical consideration here. I can come up with handful of completely malevolent uses for facial recognition in no time flat. Automated weapons, increased surveillance, targeted marketing

To me the optimum would be two part time jobs. Two days a week doing job A, other two days doing B and three days off. Eggs in different baskets. For companies it's often said that you should never rely on single customer. But it makes

Equitable pay = Equitable job security Look at any unemployment chart since 80's and women have better job security than men. And the difference typically increases a lot in economic depression.

Good point. I think there is essential difference between "100% need it but only 1% is going to buy it" and "Everybody wastes time playing games they enjoy, somehow magically 0,00003% of them will end up playing my game.&quot

I think I have to learn this attitude. That every problem is in fact real, but problems are not equal in relevance. That's respecting people and their issues, while staying sane. You should pick your battles. And the society should pic

The target market is tricky. I'm in my early thirties and I feel too young to get any nostalgia from this stuff. Also I've noticed that as people age, they get less exited about wasting their time on games and more willing to spen

Has that been shown false? Especially TV does not seem like a thing that promotes mental health.

I have to agree and disagree at the same time. I used to be boy scout. A week long camp typically gets lot more tolerable around day 3. At the same time the kids typically run out of candy and cell phone battery. I'd say the problem is

I'd guess there is something like 50% cutoff point. Less than 50% of hires stay: "oh geez, more meat to the grinder." More than 50% of hires stay: "A new guy came, do you play ping pong?" But my cut off point might
