Better yet, you let them have the real plans by protecting them so lightly that they can't be sure whether they have poorly-protected real plans or lightly-protected fake plans, and follow it up with a comment on Slashdot suggesting that fake plans might have been lightly protected on purpose. Nothing looks as authentic as real plans, but they could never be sure.
Or even better...

A 190,000 tonne object at 12.7km/s has an energy of 15*10^15Joules, or 4,256,263,888kwH, equivalent to 106 million barrels of oil worth USD10.3 billion.
Harvesting that ought to be about the same level of difficulty as extracting the mineral wealth, I'd say
Yeah I've heard that, but I wonder how true it is. You'd think that the "sleep scientists" referenced in the article would mention it if it was, as they'd be advising that Nasa seek out people who match the longer rhythm, and it'd be something of a slam-dunk to include that in the article.
I'm suspicious that it's one of those scientific urban legends.
Didn't see this linked on/. but that long Mars sol takes its toll even on Earth-bound humans. I wonder if the experiments on isolating astronauts for the duration of a Mars mission took this into account?

You'll want to avoid following "sized" with "area" if you mean to imply population rather than.. um... area.
I'd be genuinely interested in evidence that Switzerland's mass shooting rate is comparable to the of the US, but your implication that mass shootings happen at times that are convenient for a government agenda marks you out as a conspiracist not amenable to persuasion or rationality, so save your efforts trying to persuade me -- I ain't engaging with fantasists at the moment, thanks.
One company I worked for recently had a singularly interesting practice. They had no receptionist or phone answering service, so a call from an outside line or press on the door buzzer made every single fucking phone -- 25 of them -- in the open non-partitioned office ring until someone answered it. They would then have to ascertain who was calling, call the person they were trying to get through to (phone directory in word document on "intranet"), work out where that person was (notice system on "intranet"), take a message or let the person in.
This included software developers, of course, who were sharing the open office with systems analysts, IT support staff, production support, and the kitchen area. Requests to work in other (quieter) parts of the building or at home were denied as it was deemed to be bad for team work or unmonitorable.
Difficult to believe that Slashdotters think that "mass shootings per square mile" is an insightful way of comparing two countries.
The USA and Switzerland have population densities of 87.4/sq mi and 477.4/sq mi respectively, by the way.
Big on statements like "So how am I sure?" and "Here's the proof", and short on identifying actual cases where he has made money with a lawsuit. I would not think that it would be difficult to provide proof if there were any.
The last company I worked for used desk phones for answering the door buzzer and outside lines. No receptionist, so every phone in the office would ring -- about 25 in the room the software developers were in. It was expected that they stop what they're doing to answer, and try to contact the required person or take a message.
This is just one of the stupidities inflicted by management.

Are they equally concerned about failures of the Chinese wall between, say, the corporate advisory arm of a bank and the investment division?

You might be able to build a space elevator on mars, gravity is lower there, that should make it a lot easier to send stuff home.
Ironically, as gravity reduces and the ease of building a space elevator increases, the costs of the regular alternatives to an elevator decrease.
I wonder if we would ever find anything on Mars that is so rare and expensive that it would be worth fetching it from there? It seems doubtful.

The design of that scoop could affect overall performance by something like ~1%.
They could squeeze another couple of percent out with a coffee can exhaust, easy.
Yes indeed -- then management would yell for the phones to be answered and follow it up with a company-wide email berating the phone shirkers.
