It has already been weaponized. Hydrogen/thermonuclear fusion bombs are a thing and have been since the 50s.
And you got downvoted.. I venture that you went one venture too far...
What a ridiculously elitist comment. So because some of them can't code at a professional level but want to make money with a small online business or startup it means they're just "hustlers" (in a negative sense)? Is…
First, congratulations! Now, speaking practically, Act as if you just won the lottery, and proceed accordingly. I'm saying this seriously for the sake of the advice offered in this rather remarkably useful post in…
I consider this to be a potentially terrifying idea. Maybe if "status" were rigorously kept to measurements of honesty and reliability that are as objective and unbiased as possible, I could see it working reasonably…
That was, to put it mildly, exceptionally generous of your dad and mom. Very few people would go that far in helping a complete stranger. And what happened to the homeless man eventually?

My take on legal punishment of banks that commit these sorts of frauds: the only method of punishment that strikes me as likely to actually make them feel the pain of their acts is to also pursue indictment of specific…
I would strongly suggest watching the Netflix documentary "Dirty Money" series episode on the HSBC/Mexican cartel fiasco. It goes into many of the details of how it went down and how it was discovered.
Definitely second this, That was one stunningly good documentary series.. Saw it on a lark but ended up with plenty of emotional reactions. The director received criticism from both left and right, virtually all of it…
Oh please, piss off. Some of the best commentary I've personally seen about the very real dystopian nightmare slowly being built in China is right here at Hacker News, so if someone wants to take a discussion thread…
