What? no. Just do it like a normal lottery. A drawing every week, winner gets 20% I could see PR value in doing a singe annual drawing, that would be interesting experiment.
There is no logical reason the Government wouldn't tell us. IT would get more money to various organization and dramatically increase are global prestige. You don't think people like MacArthy wouldn't use it as a reason to create fear and an even larger military budget?
Lets talk agencies: NASA: Budget would increase. No reason to hide info DOD: Money for alien defense And so on. Every Agency ah a interest in NOT hiding anything like that.
Plus have alien evidence would have been a great piece of leverage over the Russians.
That planets with intelligent life are RF emitters.
if they get to the point where electronics are invented, then it's a very safe assumption.
"That planets with intelligent life will remain planets with intelligent life," they make no such assumption. They are well aware they could find a signal where the originating species doesn't exist anymore. The life the broadcast the signal doesn't need to exist anymore for there to be a world impact.
"That as tech advances, intelligent life will continue to emit sufficient RF to be detectable at interstellar distances." A) ALL RF the escapes an atmosphere is detectable, you just need a big enough antenna. B) We just need to get there bubble of radio to show other intelligent life exists.
" There is not a single good explanation of why it has not succeeded already, " actually, there are two: The universe is Really, Really Big. The universe is Very, Very Old.
There are several smaller reason, antenna size and location for example. Also Data processing. We may have evidence on tape somewhere.
Did you know, if we would built an array if micro antenna in space the size of Rhode Island (1,212 sq miles) we would be able to detect any radio coming from within 100LY with the power of a TV broadcast.
IN short, some risk in business don't pay off. The kind of people saying they would jump at the first offer are the same kind of people who would be to afraid to get away from the salary test to start their own business.
Facebook got a huge amount of data for their users, and NON USERS of facebook. They got demographics, usage states, increased traffic. This was a good move for facebook.
Yes, it was. Looking at his history, it's hard for me the believe he would have let it go past '66 or so. The assassination put some one who wanted it to be a win at any cost war.
"Political violence doesn't work to actually implement social change. " that's why the Americas are British, Hitler is still running Europe, and Japan has a a world power military.
POlitical violence is what cause the former democratic and liberal Mideastern countries to turn into religious theocracy.

Why would you presume we would be the only race to send a beacon into space?
IF you buy all the ticket, you will win, 100% of the time.
Will you profit? depends on the lottery and the lottery amount.
What do you mean today? any experts has known it wouldn't be useful.
Don't confuse pop culture headline and sci - fi fir actual experts.

Why does everything need to have something to monetize?
What? no. Just do it like a normal lottery. A drawing every week, winner gets 20%

Do you really think the Constitution only allows for defense and law enforcement?
You should actually read it.

Don't confuse winning with highest payout.
If maximizing payout is your goal* the yes pick all you numbers over 31.
*cause winning 100 million is worth my time, but splitting 100 million? bah
"We've more or less stopped using detectable radio signals ourselves.

"Gravitational waves are suggested in the comments."
becasue they would use something they would be incredible energy intensive for no gain over RF?

Yes, it fact cash can.
I still hold the ultimately electronic cash will fail do to the ease and power of attacks.
Don't bother, about 2 people on /. actually understand why the Federal Reserve is their and how it operates.
These simpletons think everything has one silver bullet solution.
"Education by Liberals equals stupidity. "
You equal stupid. That whole statement is stupid, and the world is now stupider because it's on the internet.
The poster you are replying made a stupid statement, and some how it's become education by liberals equals stupid.
Also, the vast majority of people may just realized the Federal Reserve serves a very good purpose and chose to ignore kooks.
""Wait, huh, the Federal Reserve is WHAT?!?"
since everyone knows that, I"m not sure why killing him would do, in that regard.
It would disrupt markets.
Yes, it was. Looking at his history, it's hard for me the believe he would have let it go past '66 or so.
