Of course they will help him with the hope it pans out.

Nah, this is giving cops too much credit. People can have gps coordinates, video of crimes occuring, first and last names of thieves and plently of times cops do literally nothing past filing a report.

First the "whole ass country of energy use to make fake money" that is bitcoin and now this?

Lovely.

Infinite and astronomical are used interchangeably here. Since you have to return a share to the person you borrowed it from, if you borrowed 1000 shares at $5 and sold them to make 5k, if the price jumps to something like $350 like gamestop, it would cost you $350,000 to cover them.

Making 5k to lose 350k might as well be an infinite loss ot that investor, even though its technically a "smallish" sum. At that scale, it would destroy most people.

You can also pay to keep a short going generally and try to wait out the madness, but you have to stay solvent to do it. The very stupid and very surprising "diamond handing" apes caused some hedge fund issues, although I think most just shrugged into other financial instruments.

Ideally it will advance to emulate whats common in the EU : the tax service sends you a "we think you owe this. If correct, please confirm amd youre done. If not, please amend and then youre done."

This isn't that proactive yet, but all the bones are there.

The test was limited to make sure the core fundamentals worked. Your situation is an "edge case," i.e an unlikely situation that makes things much harder to code.

It sounds like they cut you out to make sure the product worked, and will now be on working "edge cases," by far the hardest part of any computer engineering.

It's a strange but good idea that im glad is gaining traction.

Cheap and plentiful material, no heat or rot in space, apprently resitant to cracks, burns up on re-entry so no space trash.

Sounds like its got a lot of positives.

The article is about municipal broadband, since the OP wanted to clickbait.

All in the office of course as well!

Not if you only hit it in certain circumstances, i.e breaks at work, out drinking, etc.

That kind of 1%/week gradual decrease would probably lead to less of an addiction to line up with less of a dose as well.

never wound up being actually true since they go against the very nature of physics.

This is an incredibly wild statement when you have no data on the device's construction or operation.

Youre complaining about a lack of data then making wild assumptions about it with no data.

Not exactly a good scientific method here, mate.

Are you saying novel mechanical engineering designs are impossible? That the mechanism of a leaf blower is so near perfection, that a well funded team of 4 mechanical engineering students could not, without VIOLATING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS, have simply found a better mechanism?

I agree with your "show me the numbers" critique, but I find your complete disregard of what may be a better answer without any data at all to be equally foolhardy.

If you use ddg you can redirect any search to google by adding a space ans !g to the end of the search term.

Annoyingly, but works on the cases where google does better.
