How you move a computer mouse while deciding whether to click on a risky bet or a safe choice may reveal how much of a risk-taker you really are. Keyboard-only folk take no risks?

Intrepid developers have done the expected and necessary: Doom now runs on Nintendo’s recently released Game & Watch portable. All hardware platforms expand until it can run DOOM (or it is replaced by hardware that can)
and then it needs to expand until it can run Crysis

Sidewalk is essentially a proprietary shared network that runs on top of your personal network. People who liked this offer also enjoyed throwing their money at random strangers
"These Bridge devices share a small portion of your internet bandwidth which is pooled together to provide these services to you and your neighbors." I know that "sharing is caring", but some things I don't feel like sharing, sorry. I'm also curious how long it will take for someone to crack the sandbox this will supposedly create.

Not enough, that's for sure...
The real questions are: Once it is hacked, how long will it take to be discovered, how much data will have been sniffed and how critical was it?.

Amazon is planning for the future when the government will lock you out of your Internet connection. Being part of a mesh network, you'll still be able to communicate electronically with others, and maybe even access the Internet through someone else's not yet shut down access. Nice to see a big brother company implementing some "small brother" technologies.

"Communist" opinion here, tax the sh*t out of those guys!
Also, let them pay taxes in every country they do business in.
They're hogging up the world's money and resources.
And no, at this point they're not earning it by "working hard" or "taking risks" and their wealth also doesn't make up for "creating jobs" or whatever you tell yourself.
And put them (and managers in general) in jail for breaking laws time and time again, they just laugh their billion $ fines off.
European-standard right-wing, or USA-standard communist*, out
* I know we already have standards for dates, times, currency, countries, units of measure, etc., but I think we should standardize on political spectrums as well

This qualifies as political trolling in my book. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It's trolling disguised as a serious message

Musk is a corporate welfare queen. I loathe him for that because I see taxation as theft. But he's also an innovator. And it's most entertaining to see someone poke the SEC bear, so I have to hand it to the guy for having a brass pair.

Then who's going to pay for roads, police, military, the "less fortunate", education, healthcare (for non-Americans) etc.?
I don't like paying it and I'm sure a lot of my tax money is wasted and there'll always be people who'll abuse the system, but I'm sure the alternative is much worse

Tesla's cumulative production numbers have just gone beyond 1 million (see • Chart: Tesla's Road to 1,000,000 | Statista[^]
That means a profit for Elon of some 50,000 US$ per car...
What's the price of a Tesla before VAT?

Has physics reached the limits of what we can discover — or are the possibilities only just beginning? I heard it has momentum

I believe Rutherford spoke about the end of physics shortly before Einstein published e=mc2 in 1905. Every age believes they're close to knowing it all. When I was in high school, the theory of plate tectonics had only recently gained general acceptance, and climatologists were talking about a looming ice age.
