I keep seeing this sentiment, and it seems like wishful thinking.. The paper is out there on how to defeat the poison pill: trigger the pill, let the stock tank, offer at a lower price per share but at the same market value plus what was p

So the power supply used to change the speed of nuclear warships from bare steerageway to 30+kts rather quickly is not responsive to changes in demand? Friend you seem to have some conceptual errors. There is a lot of things you need to do

Umm. . . it probably wouldn't be cost effective for you: the NRC is pretty brutal in it's regulations. I'm very gun-ho on nuclear power, but that is one bureaucracy I don't mind charging ~$4-500/hr for people to re

Because this requires brick and mortar industrial hardware to be logistically salable, lacking that it becomes vaporware. I think an unconscious bias may be that a bad but free connection that can negatively impact the perception of web sol

In my own experience ~7/10 times the duplicate question is something entirely different and I have to spend longer searching because of someone's ignorant pedantry.

The hurdle of bringing "government data" back inside the government lifelines is one of the things large contractors can use to minimize the risk of the contractor being changed. It's a non-trivial challenge as the government

I'm going to have to snoop around and see if I can find any specs on this, and the lawfare of if it can be elected. How's your simming of this situation going?
