I don't know anything about how they target their victim, but I am assuming the have very little time between seeing the victim and deciding to execute him/her/them. So I suspect a…

Your idea will only work if you can control the anonymous watchers. How would you know if they actually watched the footage properly? One way to do it that comes to mind is the cap…

I live in Australia, work in Superannuation (aka Pension plans). Looking at the data, there will be a whole heap of suffering for people who did not take this advice when they were…

From the article: "New ‘flexible grid’ infrastructure allows more efficient bundling of channels, (42.5% increase in spectral efficiency) and data speeds of up to 1.4 Terabits per …

Yeah, but they are still just cars. They will still need valuable real-estate for roads and parking and storage. What these are starting to sound like are trains and buses, which h…

Isn't opening an email attachment a standard, right thing to do? Aren't email attachments supposed to be the main ways to send someone a non-text file, by design? If so, blaming pe…
