I found that it's super easy to make human drivers crash with a simple $5 laser.

It's amazing how many of our systems only work with the underlying assumption that we're not actively trying to murder each other at any given moment.

In the movie Blackhat there's a screen where a hex editor is used to analyze some malware code. The hex code is just random nonsense, but the ASCII conversion contains lines from an erotic novel, but with each word reversed

Simple: no cap on the number of children, but no full siblings allowed. Encourage as many different genetic pairings as possible.
