Its no coincidence the car had 30 pounds of marijuana in it.

The Supreme Court just condoned Parallel Reconstruction. The gist of it is that the DEA or police obtain information illegally. They then report "anonymous" tips to the police. The police then pull over the car and say "We smelled marijuana." This excuse for illegal search and seizure has already been condoned. Courts have granted police infallible senses of smell. They search the car and find the material they know is already there.

Welcome to police state USA. If someone in power doesn't like you, you can see how it goes.

Its not just cost. As a beginner, your shots go all over and you end up playing very slow. This tends to piss off people behind you and it can make for an unpleasant afternoon after a while.

I am not saying its right or anything, but its definitely a turn off for new players.

You have just described the current state of affairs in the USA.

The war on drugs produces the raw materials (IE, people to put through the system).

The harvesters (the police) get paid for spotting, cutting down and initial rough processing of the raw materials.

The courts (attorneys and judges) do the separating and grading of the rough cut materials.

City and County lockup (jails) do the fine detailing to turn graded rough cut materials into finished products (real, full fledged prisoners)

They then and sell them to businesses (State and Federal prisons) that need the finished products (slave labor prisoners). Call it a business to business transaction.

State and Federal prisons then use their purchased products (slave labor prisoners) in their various industries (manufacturing of electronics, weapons components for the defense industry, you name it).

After the finished product is used up (released from prison), they are recycled and put back through the process.

Ignorance is bliss.

Its a bit crass, but seriously? How is this post off topic? It is exactly on topic.

Its a problem with the computer sciences in general. They keep cannibalizing terms and changing he meaning, like engineer and scientist.

I am an aerospace engineer that specialized in fluid mechanics. Guess what? I know more about computer programming, linux, unix, memory architectures, compiling environments, programming language, etc. than most computer "scientists/engineers".

But I need to know about all those things because I take the theory and discretize it for solution on whatever architecture my company owns at the present time. I can't ask an computer science major to do it.

You need more than some certification to be an engineer or scientist and a lot of computer science degrees are simply collections of network certs.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Confidentially agreements allow companies to hide patterns of illegal behavior. Repeated bad behavior should result in escalating fines and confidentially agreements just make it that much harder for the next victim to show that there is entrenched culture of abuse.

Are they asking for proposals for the scanner from Total Recall?

Give me a monthly bill with:

$10 for Unlimited Music Streaming + $15 for Unlimited TV Show Streaming + $20 for Unlimited Movie Streaming = $45 Total

I would never feel the need to pirate and everyone would win. Throw in a $10 surcharge for multiple device / independent streaming.

Can someone please make this work?

Radiation Pressure is momentum transfer purely with EM radiation, not the plasma ions from the solar wind. It is a very noticeable effect and must be accounted for anything in orbit more than a few hours.

The GRACE experiment utilizes satellites in polar LEO (310km above the Earth's surface) to created detailed maps of the distribution of matter below it. Depending on the configuration of the dark matter, it may not be visible to GRACE. If the dark matter was a spherical shell around the earth, we wouldn't be able to detect if from a position inside the shell.

And similarly to this guy, you can wind up dead doing dangerous activities you love.

And just to be clear, there is nothing wrong with people dieing doing the things they want to do. Whether it's rock climbing, wing suit gliding, piloting, surfing, etc., you should have the right to engage in dangerous activities. With minors, its a bit different obviously, but this guy was 19. A bit young but he is still an adult.

That being said, I think there are way too much uncontrollable variables in RC helicopter flying to wiz one by your head. It would be off the acceptable risk radar for me personally, but I am not going to set that line for others. Now, if the guy took out an innocent bystander, that's a different story.

This isn't a proposal being pitched to the CA state government for money. Elon has stated many, many times this is an OPEN SOURCE concept he is presenting. He wants the design to start a discussion about what really is possible, especially compared to what is currently on the table ($100,000,000 for very slow "high speed" rail).

The main idea he has added to the vacuum tube idea is to run it at low pressure, then use on board pumps to pull the low pressure air in front of the train and shoot it about the bottom for air bearings. Its a very novel idea. Its worth funding a test portion of track for developement purposes.

Like I said, CA is already thinking of spending 100 BILLION on high speed rail. That would probably balloon to 200 BILLION when it is all said and done. That is an unbelievable amount of money.

Corp taxes are almost nothing. No company in the US pays the supposed "highest corporate taxes in the world." The tax rate is purposely set high to force companies to broker deals with municipalities, states or the federal government. Some one, some where is getting a kickback to give the real, very low tax rate that is actually paid.

The fact is these multinational companies are protected by the US government. We have our patent laws, IP laws, civil court system and other apparatus that protects business investments. Why is it OK for these companies to reap the benefits of this great country and then go around and hire slave labor at the ends of the world?

There used to be an implied social contract, you hire a worker, you pay a descent wage and give some benefits for health care and retirement. The current attitude of the party that I won't name is that low level workers should shut up, get minimum wage, pay completely for their own healthcare and retirement. How exactly is that possible on $7 an hour?

Unions for low level jobs need to come back with a vengeance. Companies have made record profits over the last four, supposedly terrible, years. But then they seek to keep sticking it to those with no voice and no representation.

Go tell that to the motivated and educated IBM employees that had their jobs outsourced to India.
