I'm so sick of reading about what gender/sex programmers and engineers are. Color blindness is the key to ending racism, and highlighting the gender/sex of people in this field is doing anything but helping end sexism.
I can respond to a, b and c with the same comment. Do not give them to random people. No one mentioned anything about random or untrained people.
Guns are currently in this world. Some people do terrible things with them. If the solution to protect children is to bring in an armed good guy, the armed good guy can be on premises at all times.
I wish I had mod points to mod you up. I don't understand how this solution isn't obvious. In short, the problem is that the only person with a gun is the bad guy. EVERYONE'S solution is to call in good guys with guns (cops). This article admits that a step in the right direction is to get good guys with guns to the scene faster. WHY NOT HAVE THEM ON SCHOOL GROUNDS AT ALL TIMES!?!?! It seems painfully obvious.
Maybe I'm too late commenting and this isn't going to get any attention, but I was under the impression through reading articles about the situation that wildfires worsening in California is mainly due to the fact that we suppress what would ordinarily be small routine burns that need to happen to keep forests healthy. By suppressing these, the buildup of undergrowth makes the ones we can't control much worse.
I'm not saying global warming couldn't be one of the factors contributing to worsening conditions, but I don't think it can shoulder the lion's share of the blame.
Motorcycles are too dangerous in all areas if you're being honest with yourself. But, totally worth it. If I gotta go, I wanna go in a fiery wreck! I'm being sarcastic, but I love motorcycling.
The term "obvious" in the patent world has been significantly watered down in recent times. Consider for example that adding an eraser to the back of a pencil was considered "obvious" and therefore, not patentable in its time.
First, this is an incredibly evil idea. Why would we dedicate any more time and money to these people? When does inventing new forms of torture tax society more than the criminals?
Second, a good gut check for the consideration of new tools for the government is this: "How will this be abused?" I think the implications here speak for themselves.
Finally, What gives you the right to inflict these kinds of hypothetical punishment? When have you become worse than the criminal that you're punishing? This post is ethically disgusting.
I've found the only way to get 'good' science articles is via direct press release. And most scientists, engineers etc. heave a big sigh, throw their hands up and say: "well, they're not gonna fucking get it anyway, so why bother." I know I do.
Sometimes I pretend to be a more stereotypically introverted engineer than I am to avoid stupid conversations that revolve around sensationalized 'news' like this.
Can we do ? Yep. Will people get hurt? Yep, probably. Is it worth it? Yeah, maybe.
Not only is this hilarious, but it perfectly illustrates how ridiculous this article really is.
Better summary: There are problems with what we're trying to do. Some of them surprising. There are also probably solutions that we haven't figured out yet.
People who don't care about murder laws don't care about gun laws. All states have outlawed murder as far as I know. Chicago is no stranger to gun related homicide despite the ban.

So that's why characters kept dying in Game of Thrones...
I'm only speculating, but I'd guess that people think that it would upset the current ecosystem.
Maybe "unethical" is the wrong word...again, only speculating
Hiring school security is exactly what I was proposing.
So the idea is dead because schools can't fit "Protecting our children from being dead." in the budget?
I think this conversation is dead.

Because they're generally better?
Another is that he's just moving on with his life...

That makes good sense. This is one of those things that you don't know, you didn't know it until someone tells you about it. :)
TIL CTRL+INS, SHIFT+INS works the same way as CTRL+C, CTRL+V. Who knew!
Pedantic. If you pretend to not know what "West Coast" means in the US people are going to think you're a moron.

I'd flavor your comment with this:

Pre-WWII Jews had nothing to hide.
Pre-Red scare communist sympathizers had nothing to hide...
It must be nice to know you don't have anything to hide that might soon become taboo...

Regardless of who you replied to, you are missing the point.

You're still managing to miss the point
The point is this: New stuff is hard. Bad stuff is bad. We should try anyway.
Not only is this hilarious, but it perfectly illustrates how ridiculous this article really is.

No mod points.. :( lol'd at work though. Well done.
