It doesn't take a doctor of risk engineering to figure that out. The average Joe on the street could tell you the same thing. It's easy to come up with ways to improve the banking system. Now, getting our overlords to implement them is another matter.
I was a TA as well. It's very easy to suspect cheating, but it's hard to prove. I thought the danger of false positives was too high to act against people who I'm pretty sure were cheating.
Rick Perry said it best. "You get to ask the questions, and I get to answer how I want to." Who are we kidding? The candidates WILL NOT ANSWER your questions. Yeah, maybe you can get the webmaster to talk, but how much value is this really?
It sounds like you'd have to be pretty crazy at the start to volunteer for something like this. It sounds worse than prison. At least in prison you don't spend all of your time in a box. Perhaps, if they are short on volunteers, the organizers could work out a deal with the law to allow criminals to volunteer to serve time in this science experiment.
It only takes one, right? What exactly is this supposed to suggest? That we shouldn't worry about it or that we should? It seems like math tells me that gene flow will occur with a near certitude.
Insurance companies can make these calculations by assigning a dollar value to a human life. This makes perfect sense for a business which is trying to calculate how to make a profit. But it's not necessarily the best device for setting public policy. If the penalties for speeding are high enough, then I think most people will stop speeding. Are you saying this won't increase safety in an absolute sense? Or that the fines are out of proportion with the increase in safety?
economies of scale. There will be less wasted efficiency if you aren't using all 10kW in your home, since the grid will tend to average out such inconsistencies. Heat engines are more efficient at higher temperatures, and there will be less relative heat losses in a larger system. The fuel cycle will be a lot more efficient at a large scale.
Looking at the paper, I can see that quorum is wordy, using full words for most of its syntax. This makes it friendly to beginners. Indeed, this is what the results showed; novice programmers for whom quorum was their first language could understand it more easily than perl. But, a wordy language is annoying and inefficient for pros. The quorum example code has many more characters than the perl or randomo code, which means much more typing. A smart IDE can help to a point, but it can't completely remove the overhead of extra verbiage.
Who owns the corporation isn't as important as who controls the corporation. In principle, the corporation runs as a sort of representative democracy, where shareholders elect the board of directors who make the decisions. But, when a corporation is too big and the shareholders are too fragmented, the board can basically decide who gets elected by selecting who appears on the ballot. A minor shareholder has essentially no say. That's why large corporations don't act in the interest of the shareholders. Same reason why government doesn't act in the interest of common citizens.
University researchers apply for federal grants, which brings money into the university. Without that, the university couldn't afford to do research on expensive projects. Who should pay for that? Certainly not students. I'm not sure why using state taxes is better than using federal taxes. Big projects, like particle accelerators and fusion reactors have lots of collaborations between many universities in many states. I'm at University of Texas, but my experiment is at MIT. Academics don't really care about borders and stuff, just open information and collaboration.
Imagine running research under a free market system... Let's see, my research group would have to rent time from MIT, and lets say we discover something on the project. It's our intellectual property... your MIT group needs to license it from us.

You misunderstand the function of a nuke. The nuke is not meant to be used, but meant as a threat and deterrent.
Don't worry. The gunman's wrists will also be broken by the first shot of the hand cannon, so you don't need to worry about the other 8 rounds.

you just crushed the spirit of 1000 would-be heroes.
That's a cheater's mentality and rationalization. Not everyone cheats.

You jest, but if this thing works as good as advertised, then it could revolutionize climbing gear. Spiderman could be a reality.
Gecko feet are not sticky at all. The little hairs bind to other matter using Van Der Walls forces.
In other words, they are sticky.
The newspaper prints what people want to read.

You want a system where it's difficult to judge if you are violating or not. Sounds terrible.
You'd be better to buy gold and put that under your mattress. Gold doesn't lose value from inflation.

Actually, inches are still in broad use throughout science and industry. Tools and machined parts are mostly in inches.
That's cool. But, did the company patent the idea and keep anyone else from using it?
Ha Ha
But that would be untrue. They were grade-B at best.

So how much is that in cigarettes?
