  1. At live events, the board is usually visible to both the live and online audience. All you would need to cheat is an accomplice and a way for them to send a signal to you after they have analyzed the position with a chess engine. Something along the lines of what the MIT card counting teams have used to break blackjack in casinos would work. A small receiver in their shoe that can buzz them information from a team member for example. Personally, I think having them play in a Faraday caged area with little to no ability to see audience members should be implemented at least at big money tourneys.

  2. I think it's situational. I had an old Camaro I was rebuilding slowly over a couple of years. I finally got it running and took it out to test it a few times. Finally, I got a cruiser behind me who I could tell was going to blue light me and I was trying to figure out what I did wrong. Right before he hit the lights it occurred to me that I hadn't taken care of the registration (over a year out of date.) He pulls me over and before he gets to the car I remember than I hadn't put it on my insurance either (required in my state.) He asked if I knew why he pulled me over, I just said registration. He acted surprised that I admitted it and asked me for proof of insurance. I was immediately honest which I could tell did catch him by surprise. We talked for a bit about why and he said he appreciated the honesty. When he came back from running my license he told me he wasn't going to ticket me for the registration (and to go take care of it since the clerk was still open.) Then, in a very apologetic tone, he said he couldn't let the lack of insurance slide. I was cool with it (my fault after all) and he winked and told me that it likely wouldn't cost me anything as long as I had it insured before the traffic court date. When I went to court, the judge called me up to the bench, covered the mike and told me I must have made one hell of a good impression on the officer as he had actually bothered to include on the court copy of the ticket that I had been completely honest the entire time and hadn't given him any attitude. Something the judge had never seen before. I showed him my proof of insurance and was done. No fine or anything.

  3. Tesla is a scam corporation. Their own board of directors sell every share they get from their contracts as soon as they get them. This is just par for the course for them.

  4.  @charlesfitzgerald9461  Since he was suspended from playing not from attending school, I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to violating the team conduct rules set by his coach (which often extend into other aspects of a player's life.)

  5. I don't support the arrest but it could be argued that it's emotionally distressing to the deceased officer's family. Also, if one's answer to a question in court etc. includes the word google, there will likely be a bit of facepalming (that's somewhat like citing wikipedia as a source in a research paper.) You send someone to go eyeball the grave just to make sure.

  6. For comparison with the cost of developing better self checkout security measures etc., adding one additional cashier to each US Walmart would run them ~$475,000/8 hour shift in wages alone.
