According to this article, having too many people of a specific skin color in an area causes crime. Does Slashdot really want to endorse that kind of retrograde prejudice?

Makes sense. How about a hybrid approach with a lighter-than-air vehicle shaped to generate lift? Does the extra size needed for the lighter than air gasses cause more loss from drag than it saves by reducing the energy needed to stay aloft?

But why not just use a lighter-than-air vehicle and stay aloft for months?

Even if per capita driving has peaked, the population is increasing, so total driving is still increasing.

Why is it taking people "years" to "learn to code"? That's the part that seems wasteful. You don't need to be a "computer scientist" to write useful code.

Once Obama finally becomes President, that will be solved and the racial healing can begin.

It's not about any other country. The goal of the regulation is to prevent Americans from having access to 3D printed guns and to intimidate any American who would design one of these guns.

Lots more about what isn't the answer. But what is the answer? And why should anyone believe Greece will implement whatever you think is the answer?

AIG claims they paid all the money back and more. Is it true? Polifact says mostly true.

Greece may or may not be small potatoes. But what's the Greek plan to pay anyone back?

If "austerity" isn't the answer, what is? How do you propose the Greek government start running a surplus? Should they spend less? Tax more? What's the non-discredited answer?

What was the defining characteristic of the old generation?

"Allegations of police misconduct and widespread false arrests could not be verified by reporters because arrest records in cases where charges are ultimately dropped were made private in 2015."

The real answer is to make the original records easily viewable on an official government web site, but mandate that "CHARGES DROPPED" or "NOT GUILTY" or some other exculpatory language clearly appear whenever they are viewed.

Also helpful: fewer laws and fewer police. Every action and inaction doesn't need to be regulated and policed by petty government officials. Save the policing for theft and violence and let us otherwise live our lives as we choose.

We need the government to save us from the consequences of the bad deal the government made last time.

Then the contractor will lose and a zillion more people will know they're a bad contractor because they sued and it became a news story.

that means the Vorlons are using mass drivers to attack your home world.
