Maybe combine with the sensors of a driverless car -- anytime some jerk is approaching from behind at a reckless speed, play the TIE fighter noise adjusted to the circumstances of his relative speed and approach vector. You'll hear the

I've always wanted the hovercar sound from Blade Runner, but I think I've found a new favorite with the TIE fighter :)

A revving engine would be less disruptive. It's a noise that most of us filter out, except those in situations which make them on alert for oncoming traffic, e.g. pedestrians and cyclists.

Given how corroded they probably, you are more likely to release contimants from the cleanup than letting it sit on the bottom. It might be possible to an environmental seal, however.

No that's really the point of early-stage investment. There is no metric to go by, except one's own evaluation of the potential of a team's future worth and the cost of acquiring a share. This is necessarily very dependent on

Not sure what you're trying to learn? There is basically no intrinsic rhyme or reason to early-stage valuations. Figure out how much money you need, how much equity you're willing to give up for it, and find an investor that agre

It's not about hiding the facilities from locals, it's about hiding them from satellites. Or at least providing enough uncertainty that the enemy doesn't know for certain how many or which installations are where. More morbid

Why is the farmhouse disguise idiotic? I'm pretty sure that sort of thing actually happened -- to disguise the location from satellite surveillance, of course.

Why? A full row in tetris is removed. To someone who knows the game, leaving a hole in each row would be more pleasing. Aesthetically I'd also find it more interesting, but that's an aside.

Meh, to someone who actually speaks Japanese it's not so clear cut. The word for Japan is 日本, pronounced "nihon" or "nippon" but never "japan". But every Japanese person would know that for whatever reason

The Winklevoss twins have been active in the bitcoin space since the early days. Mostly as passive investors lending their fame to the asset, admittedly, but they do at least know the technology and the space.
