The court of public opinion isn't a criminal court.
It isn't a court. Period. It's a lynch mob. And it is often used to manufacture public outrage for purposes not readily evident to the angry crowd with the torches and pitchforks marching toward the accused.
Say you're a government agency and you need a compiler for BCPL
I think this sort of thing isn't patentable. At least not by the company or university funded to do the work. The 'novel' idea has already been thought of by the agency. The company has just been hired to do the design and coding grunt work to a specification.
I don't doubt that a lot of this goes on already. Government inventions being in the public domain (classified stuff aside), there's no profit motive. So they pass the idea on to a buddy at a private s/w firm in exchange for a few bureaucrats taking a financial interest in the product on the side.
And there hasn't been an investigation identifying those that were actually using shell companies for tax evasion or tax avoidance. So, lump everyone into the category of a tax cheat and risk getting your newspaper sued into non existence. Many countries have stronger libel laws and less protection for free speech and the press than the USA does.
There are a number of perfectly legal and non tax related reasons for hiding business activity from competitors or parasitic 'investors'. Prove on a case by case basis that these people were cheating on taxes before trying them in the court of public opinion.
Maybe. On the other hand, during the development of the VT Fuse, the heating due to the shell's short flight was sufficient to melt the solder connection to the antenna in the nose cap. Until high temp solder was used.
I think the solution (as others have pointed out) is that the GoPros are mounted inside the rocket casing, looking out through high temp windows.
Where can I get one of those dummy (non functional) airbags that scammer body shops were installing in cars? I'd much rather just depend on by seat belt. In fact, all but one of my cars predate airbags by decades.
If you assume things, like the value of Pi being some crazy irrational number, then perhaps you arrive at this conclusion. But if you stick to Pi = 3, like the Bible says, you will have the truth revealed!
the nerd population of Slashdot likes news like this, but does not have much of anything to post about it.
It's interesting news. And it's pretty advanced stuff, such that a number of Slashdot readers might understand it. But few are in a position to ask questions or discuss it without further study.
The Wayland/systemd/Windows flame wars exist because quite a few people on Slashdot are not only familiar with the subject matter, they have a level of expertise (in some cases greater then the developers) allowing them to remark 'WTF were they thinking?'
And they are still testing missiles. Some NORK Air Force general is due to step into Kim Jong-Un's position when one of these goes seriously off course. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.
Oh really? A pickup truck with a bunch of gas cans in the bed might not be wise. But even for pickups, there are approved fueling setups.
Petrol sales is sort of a cartel. You have a market, based on your service station location. And you are given a retail price. Violate any of these agreements and your station will suddenly cease to receive deliveries. If people start buying fuel in bulk and hauling it into other market areas, established dealers will be upset. I can see where the fire departments might have a concern. Distributors violating the cartel terms might start mysteriously bursting into flames.

We are working on a solution to this problem. It involves a 100 meter rise in the sea level.
that can transfer kinetic energy into the passengers during a frontal collision.
WTF? That's NOT what you want to happen during a crash. Where did this come from? From TFA:
can effectively dissipate the kinetic energy of a crash
That's a more accurate description of crumple zones function. Editor could have just copy/pasted this and not been so horribly wrong.
PS. Photos of the wrecked Tesla with unbroken windows demonstrate how well the passenger compartment was protected during the crash.
The Prophecy shall be fulfilled.
And it does run Linux
Pretty good change that, when complete and after the first turn of the crank, it will try to install Windows 10.
You could be planning a drive-by shooting every time you get in your car.

Just remove
The airbag assembly includes the finished cover. That would leave a hole.
or unplug
That will result in an error code and perhaps failing an inspection. There might be dummy plugs available to fool the self test.

it would just be cheaper to send laptops to everyone without modern browsers
So you get a hand-written letter back from deep in the Appalachians:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for the fancy, new-fangled typewriter. Where does the ribbon go?
only people without a computer and Internet access
Gee, I wish I had a computer and Internet access. Mine is tied up downloading Windows 10.
