Well seeing as they are a shareholder who has bought in, they are effectively investing in our economy giving our companies greater access to capital to grow at cheaper rates at the expense of investing in their own country.

You can just google image search the poster, save the image, upload it to a poster printing website and print it. I've done it 9 times and I've even gotten a 10 x 5 foot poster made of the park city ski map.

Trophy is designed for fast moving anti tank missiles. These cheap drones can be shot down with a shotgun. I think we can make anti drone systems a little cheaper.

Those CIWS are designed to take out much more hardened targets than shitty drones. I bet you a shotgun shell can easily take out one of those drones. Upgrade your drone defenses and now your drones cost more... I don't work in the mil

$500 for a drone including its bomb that can incapacitate a military aircraft and can survive multiple bullets? Also, I don't think you need 30 mm bullets to take out a drone. Those bullets are for much more hardened targets.

Check out my edit 2. The Dutch already have an automated minigun. Bullets aren't that expensive relative to those shitty consumer drones which would get torn apart by them. Also, ukraine doesn't have Trophy or any minigun/s

That's pretty good. Can you liquidate those RSUs for cash? If so I'd be interested in possibly applying as I'm in Chicago where housing isn't outrageous. If not it could still be tempting depending on the company and

From your other comment, you pay $400-700k for L4-L6. Since your company is private what percent of that is liquid (cash or RSUs you can immediately sell for cash). Also, what locations are you hiring in? Cause, if you are asking me to mov

You didn't answer their question: Define "better": is a higher CPI better, or is a lower CPI better? Why is a lower CPI better for the government? In what way does the CPI calculation translate to a "problem" and wh
