I was under the impression that pawn shops and second hand shops have to at least try to make sure that the stuff they are getting is not stolen. You can't just turn a blind eye and act as a fence.
From wikipedia: These laws often require the pawnbroker to establish positive identification of the seller through photo identification (such as a driver's license or government-issued identity document), as well as a holding period placed on an item purchased by a pawnbroker (to allow for local law enforcement authorities to track down stolen items).
The US is already doing that - they even built a nuclear power plant there weighing at a mere 30,000 pounds. They regularly operate for months at a time with zero resupply missions. The entire McMurdo Station only gets a few thousand tons of supplies per year. (Put it this way - supply McMurdo with Saturn Vs will still be cheaper then the military)
Granted, Antarctica is a great deal simpler of a task then Mars, but doing a dress rehersal of the style that you are describing is trivially easy.
Well, those examples you named are bad policy. But they are constitutional policy nevertheless. Not everything that is constitutional is a good idea (like the draft, for example), and not all good ideas are constitutional.
In any case, congress already nudge you to buy plenty of things - lots of things are taxed, and lots of other things are subsidized. (mathematically speaking, a tax on not buying something and a subsidy on buying something is the same thing)
You are reading too little. As a common law nation, our constitutional law depends both on the constitution itself and the rulings of the Supreme court. Centuries of common law have extended the original scope of the document by quite a bit.
For news, google pays around 1 dollar per thousand page views. (Some times more, some times less, but it is within a order of magnitude)So 20 million page views may not pay as well as you think it does.
Inflation was not a problem in Germany in the early 1930s - deflation was the problem. The Germans did suffer hyperinflation, but that was in the early 1920s.
While I agree that resolution is as much a function of the lens as it is of the sensor. We can essentially ignore the lens when we are discussing 35mm film - for the most part, modern DSLRs use the same lenses as 35mm film, so both suffer equally on the lens front. (Assuming you buy full frame, of course)
Well, if you can build the reentry vehicles on the moon itself, returning stuff to Earth would be reasonably cheap. The moon's gravity well is not terribly deep compared to Earth.
That is when you hire people and do it yourself instead. Look at the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The government was small to the point of not existing. The rich and powerful promptly opposed everyone else by simply doing it themselves. Long story made short, life sucked in the PLC, and they ended up partitioned by three other nations.
Problem is that unlike trees, it doesn't come in large superdense chunks that bio organisms find hard to munch on. (Things that eat wood exist, yes, but they are far less common then things that will eat leaves.
Well, a camera can only capture so much of the difference between the brightest parts of the image and the dimmest part of the image. How HDR works is that you take one picture that is extremely dark, and then you take another picture that is extremely bright, and you merge them together so that the resulting picture can capture more of the super bright parts and more of the super dim parts. Now, the problem for video is that it is hard to take the bright shots and the dim shots at the same time, because you need for the cameras to remain where they are.
These guys solved that problem by using a beam splitter to redirect the same light to two cameras.
If race didn't exist, a study like this wouldn't be able to get results. The fact that they were able to get results suggests that some things correlate with the categorizations that they have chosen.
Actually, for centuries, executions were done in public with lots of people showing up to watch. In other words, if there is anything inherently disturbing about beheadings, it can't be that innate.

But then again, as long as you ship the right communication equipment with them, they just ask the experts on Earth.
If you just want protein, can't you get it from plant sources? Wouldn't that be even more efficient? Soy is not exactly expensive.
Well, the California proposition system didn't end THAT poorly.
This is why corps have a shit ton of things that they simply must do - safety is one of them.
Play fair man. Anytime I send stuff to that ip, I get tons of stuff. Are you retaliating or something?
That sounds expensive until you consider that AT&T just spent 18 billion to upgrade its system. 350 million sounds like chump by comparison.

That is a very poor argument - he does have something to hide, which is presumably why it was classified in the first place.

So we have economical prosperity just around the corner? The German economy did quite well in the late 1920s - with 2% unemployment and everything.

Stuff like public goods are part of a microecon class, not macro.

If you want insurance against future gas prices, buy gasoline futures. Much cheaper, and much more direct.
Bill Gates is no longer the CEO of microsoft. It is no longer his firm.
