That's fair. Still, I suspect the use cases are very different. People who use guns for hunting and defense against large animals don't need concealed carry permits, nor do they need to carry their guns in the city. People who use

So, you’re saying that about 1 out of every 5 times a gun is used, it is used for a criminal act? And... you think that’s a good statistic?

With respect - you are both being overly general about Canadian media, and showing an American bias. The Star is not representative of all Canadian media, and there are many American publications that trumpet American exceptionalism at ever

What power source do you propose for a long-duration human mission to Mars, if not nuclear? Solar won’t work, given the loss of output during a dust storm.

Because Google devs write iOS apps, presumably in Swift, and want to contribute to the development of the language they use? Seems like the simplest explanation to me.

> Didn't he actually design the first rocket himself? I'm pretty sure there were core employees (not Musk) working on every part of the rocket from the beginning. This is documented in the Vance biography, IIRC.

Carbon neutral assuming you are creating the CH4 using atmospheric CO2. On Earth I suspect that most CH4 comes from natural gas. On Mars it would be carbon neutral - but that's actually a bad thing, assuming that your goal is to increa

Can anyone at Apple comment on the perception of Cook inside the company? He seems like a fairly inspiring leader to me, considering his position on LGBT issues, the FBI decryption incident, and now this. I don't work for him, though,

The takeaway is that by tampering only with CAN messages sent by a particular system, you can force that system to disconnect from the network. For example, an attacker might use this exploit to disable the airbag, or disable the engine whi

It's also a complete HR catastrophe. How could anyone feel comfortable in their position, knowing they could be fired at any moment, publicly and without warning? Terrorizing your employees is completely unacceptable as a manager. Edit

I'm not saying that video wouldn't be helpful, just that realtime video wouldn't be helpful. They surely record the video for later analysis as others have mentioned.

I mean, it's not like a really robust realtime feed would be much help for them anyway. As far as I know the rocket is completely autonomous, so even if something was going wrong during the landing a higher-quality feed would just give

I think the outrage is justified; how can we possibly coordinate an effort to reduce our environmental impact without respecting the relevant regulations? To extend your example, suppose new regulations are introduced that reduce emissions
