Dear moderators. Factual statements are not "flamebait". Now waste some more of your mod-points!

If the all-time high is reached, selling will become impossible. Remember this is "greater fool" speculation and as soon as the fools run out the price drops to zero. Essentially the whole crapto idea is a complex take on the pyramid scheme.
Indeed. You cannot even get to be a billionaire with honest work, no matter how smart and lucky you are. At those heights, it is always done by taking it away from somebody else.
Indeed. Bitcoin and other crapto are not even "finance", so they are even _less_ regulated than DeFi.
Yep. As soon as more than a few try to sell, it will crash. And even if you sell right now, you will get significantly less than this number. If you find a buyer at all, that is.
1. Were the safety guards, which were optional, installed?
2. We know investigators are looking into the computer system, does this mean the computer can also set the switch settings?
If the answers are "no" and "no" respectively, it was likely an accidental bump.
If the answers are "yes" and "no", then one of the pilots lied.
If the answer to the second one is yes, then regardless of the answer to the first, I'd hope the investigation thoroughly checks whether the software can be triggered into doing so through faulty data or the existence of software defects.
Indeed. And on the plus side, even the experienced people did think they were faster, when in fact they were slower. That effect will be even stronger with inexperienced people.
Above a relatively low complexity level, reviewing code for problems gets much harder than writing correct code from the start. This has been known reliably for a long, long time. And it means that as soon as you exceed that complexity, AI use will make you slower if you go for the same quality level. And that is before taking into account that AI code is generally bad for maintainability as it is harder to read and will increase technological debt as avoiding that requires actual insight.
The whole "AI coder" idea is a dud. Again. It must now be the 4th or 5th time that has happened.
Nice direct and extreme lie you have there. The actual reason for the price increase is that France had to buy all electricity it could get their hands on in peak hours, as a lot of their nukes were down.
So the fix is to make it even worse? Are you a complete idiot?
Indeed. This administration really wants the US to be a 3rd world country with them the kleptocrats at the top. They essentially hate everybody but their own cabal. And the tragic thing is how many absolutely demented morons voted for them.
Fairness is a strong stability factor and hence important, no matter what you think about the ethical aspects. A purely utilitarian society would also strife for and optimize fairness to get that stability effect.
But
Well, 30% of those that married get a high-effort divorce. That probably means >50% are unhappy and some of the rest will just coast along. Essentially a fundamentally failed idea. No idea whether the unmarried ones have better numbers, but somehow I doubt it.
The problem is that most people do what they think is expected of them. So they marry and have kids with no idea what that actually means and then they are nicely trapped.
Funny, how you say "Not at all" and than you half agree with me. Are you an idiot?
