Hmmm, that seems like a sneaky way to get some investment capital.
1. Print asteroid rich in REM and gold
2. Shoot it into outer space
3. Send ship to mine it
4. Profit
Case 1: Poor child grows up to be a poor adult. Lives in welfare housing, uses food stamps, gets free healthcare, government pays, never worked a day in their life.
Case 2: Wealthy child grows up to be a trust fund adult: Lives in family housing, uses trust fund for food, uses trust fund for health, investment growth pays, never worked a day in their life.
Neither case adds any concrete or abstract (assumed) value to society. Case 2 has more money to "drive" the economy, Case 1 has hardly an impact except for raising tax rates. Case 2 "earned" their money from their parents, but is in effect still leeching off of the economy. You can argue that those invested funds help drive businesses, but the individual is no better than a welfare recipient in terms of value.
Completely agree. My coworker was telling me that he had a semi-automatic hunting rifle. He kept the gun, the bolt and the magazine in separate hidden locations. His nephew still managed to find all of the pieces and play with it. This isn't super secure, but it goes to show that any precautions can be bypassed with enough time, effort and planning.
As nice as Blender is, studios can still save money in terms of time by purchasing a multi-thousand dollar suite. Shadowing in particular still takes longer with Blender.
That's interesting, because I see a lot of doctors who worked really hard who are making good money (close to 1mil/yr). Granted it took them 15 years to get there, but I personally know a few who started from nothing.
I'm an ex-pat who's lived outside the *any country* for twenty years (this year). It's been fascinating to watch the transformation of *any country* from a distance over the past decade.
It's fascinating, like watching a car crash in slow motion is fascinating.

There's a reason that people leave their country of birth, and there's also a reason they have to justify the benefits of that life-altering move to themselves.
If you read the quote directly, you'll note that they say "failed star". They also mention, "further along in stellar evolution," which implies that it once was a star which burned off its mass. Ignoring that they used "further" instead of "farther" for a physical timescale.
Neptune sounds a lot worse.

Well that explains why the dinosaurs were so huge...
Take two cases and compare:
Case 1: Poor child grows up to be a poor adult. Lives in welfare housing, uses food stamps, gets free healthcare, government pays, never worked a day in their life.
Case 2: Wealthy child grows up to be a trust fund adult: Lives in family housing, uses trust fund for food, uses trust fund for health, investment growth pays, never worked a day in their life.

The only difference here is luck.
You forgot the part about digging a secure bunker 2 miles below the surface.

This is why I bought a TBM, you should see the underground tunnel system I have under my mom's basement. It only takes me 3 hrs to get to NY from LA.
I say raise that patch fee to 100k to make sure customers don't have to keep waiting an hour in order to play their game every other week.
R&D costs are far more than production costs.
I know you're trying to scare me, but that actually sounds really useful.

He'll make sure to use a proprietary plug to charge the vehicle and connect it with he own proprietary network which no other cars can use.
Who would want to spend their entire life in a small room surrounded by their parents? Oh wait.. this is /.
Wake me up when it lets me drive 3x faster.
