Are you asking me or my wife?

I am not a crypto wizard so I have an honest question. If I have the full equivalent of the loan in liquid assets to use as collateral, why take the loan? Why not use the already liquid assets for whatever purpose the loan is fulfilling? I take a loan when I need more money than I have available and use collateral that is less easy to liquify and the lending institution is willing to accept it.

Is it possible that Waymo knows this section is a dead end and they are purposely sending the cars there to practice 3 point turn algorithms? Maybe they want it to be done on a legitimate city street for realism but they want it to be sort of out of the way to reduce the chances of accidents.

Otherwise I agree with your premise. The cars would all communicate this error back to HQ and corrections would be updated practically in realtime.

I am genuinely curious. Can someone really make a statement like that and not laugh out loud at what he just said?

Wow.

Yeah, it was worse than that. They extorted every PC manufacturer from installing any other OS or browser on any PC sold and therefore everyone was FORCED to use Windows. In effect, they took a 100% cut of any OS sold on a new PC. 30% looks like chicken feed compared to that.

In the name of accuracy. Silver invented the adhesive that was used on the PostIt notes. Art Fry is the one who had the idea to use the adhesive on paper that could be pulled off and restuck multiple times. He is more of the direct inventor of the PostIt.

I think you misspelled "the Audobon society executives were able to pay themselves more money" They claim they will use it to buy more land but there is no proof they have done that. In the meantime the administration continues to draw salary.

Running a large nonprofit has to be one of the biggest gravy trains in existence.

You need an appraisal to assign a new value. You are not going to find a house appraiser who is going to certify your house is now worth 500M. But you can find art appraisers who can do that because art is partially so subjective.

You pay them 10 million but suddenly the art is worth 200 million so when you donate it the value is 200 million so you have a 200 million deduction on your taxes which saves you far more than the 10 million you paid out.

Wow, who did not see that coming? Shocked I say, I am shocked!

Keep in mind the picture you paint can be argued to be a bit misleading. Yes, the hardware is yours to do as you see fit. Most everyone agrees with that. The problem is they crack the 3DS and other consoles and then SELL kits to do this to your own so they are making money off of the IP. That is totally different than modding your own property for your own enjoyment.

Well, we found the NVIDIA shill.

Wow, you mean to tell me companies try to lowball prospects when hiring? I am shocked, absolutely shocked!

Parts for one thing. If you are using a design too old, they will be calling out for stuff that does not exist any longer so you have to redesign to include the "equivalent" part available today which then cascades into everything downstream making sure it is within the spec of what the new part specs. Designing is not just making a blueprint for the building, designing means the minutieau all the way down to screws, bolts, valves, pumps, everything. You were probably just better off starting from scratch in terms of time to design in workarounds to replace obsolete parts.
