That's actually not a Dutch auction. Basically, English, Dutch, and sealed are the three methods of conducting the auction while you can have variances thereof. An English auction works by having the auctioneer start at the reserve price and asks bidding to go up. In a Dutch auction the auctioneer starts at the reserve prices and lowers until a participant accepts. Sealed auctions require participants to all submit their bids silently and they're only permitted to submit a single bid.
What you described is a uniform price auction. Multiple identical items. Each person submits a bid of how many he will buy and at what price. The highest bidder gets his allotment and it progresses downward. Then everyone pays the lowest price that received goods.
You're thinking of English auctions. There's also Dutch auctions where the price is lowered from the seller's reserve price and then sealed auctions in which everyone submits a single bid.
I don't think whether we will or won't is really what he was addressing. Humans have certainly had ideas on how to spread from Earth to other bodies in the solar system and beyond and we've developed technology that lets us survive various stages of getting from point A to point B. Meanwhile the ability of these bacteria to spread to other bodies in the solar system can basically be surmised as....
1. Object strikes earth. The bacteria are reliant a large random event occurring. We don't have this precondition.
2. Debris carrying bacteria is ejected from earth at escape velocity in a random trajectory. The bacteria are reliant on the impact from step one being sufficent to eject mass into space and they can't choose their trajectory. We have developed rockets and we can choose our trajectory.
3. Trajectory causes debris to intersect with another solar body. Space is big. There's a lot of empty space and hitting something at random isn't very likely. Meanwhile we can pick our trajectories to ensure we rendezvous with a foreign object. We also have demonstrable technology that lets us enter a planet's atmosphere with a high degree of safety.
Meanwhile the bacteria must be able to survive exposure during each of these stages. It must survive the heat and pressures from the impact. It must survive the vacuum and radiation of space. It must survive reentry. Humanity's big problem is creating the system to move humans from body A to body B which is resource intensive.
Advancement and intelligence shouldn't necessarily be the same thing. There could be a multitude of factors that would cause them to not advance along the same lines we have. Maybe they were aquatic bound? That would levy a whole host of problems with advancement. They wouldn't have access to things like papyrus or paper. It simply would not survive in the water. They would need to do all their records on far more durable materials or rely on memory which is likely not a good thing for highly complex structures or machines. Raw materials would be very difficult for them to obtain unless they evolved in the deepest parts of the ocean as water pressures while mining could be too high.
I've always felt the best way to go about it is as follows
Agree to limited amnesty. You have a 3 month time where any illegal can come forward, register for amnesty, and gets documentation that would make them immune from prosecution that they are in the country illegally. Simultaneously, you establish legislation with reasonable timetables for securing the border and reforming the system. This legislation must be unable to be amended. Failure to keeping to the timetable would then require the government to deport all those that registered. If the timetables are kept then those, and only those, that registered receive full amnesty. Any that failed to register do not.
You would need to be at least 83 years old to have been alive the last time a Republican held IN 1st. You would need to be 105 to have voted for a Republican that won IN 1st (voting age was 21 back then, not 18). So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the number of living people who have voted for the last Republican to hold IN 1st is somewhere below 10.
The article points out that it was $150,000 over 6 months. So roughly $25,000 worth of time each month or at your costs about 100 hours of supercomputing time each month. Now I have no idea how long it would take a supercomputer to mine 12-15 bitcoin but it's certainly a valid question to ask if these numbers seem reasonable.
Those figures may be misleading. The bulk of that $250,000-$300,000 would be refurbishing the MRAP in order to be back in line with its military mission. The cost to ship one back to the US isn't going to be that high.
Overland shipping costs about $0.42 per mile for an MRAP in the US by rail. Shipping it by sea probably costs around $1.40 per mile. Shipping it by truck is probably around $2.50 per mile. Let's estimate about 10,000 miles from Karachi, Pakistan to the east coast of the US. Then from the east coast let's add another 400 miles to Indiana by rail and another 100 miles to get it to the end destination. So the total cost of shipping a single MRAP to Indiana is probably around $14,420 ($14,000 naval, $168 rail, $252 truck). I would have said the worst case scenario for shipping a single MRAP to wherever it's going to be roughly $60,000-$75,000 and that involves shipping it across the country by truck.
So I think reasonably, the refurb cost is around $220,000. So the big question, then is what the refurb cost entails and how much of it can be cut out while still delivering a servicable vehicle to local law enforcement. If it's being sent to the law enforcement as-is then the US government is only subsidizing maybe $10,000 per MRAP bought by a county (and the article did say it $5,000 was the lowest price). That's not including if there may be some subsidies from the Indiana state government.
When you put this together that the largest recent surge in gun ownership was not driven by a reasonable fear of crime, but the unreasoned fear by the election of a Black President, lots of things tend to add up.
I would hardly call them unfounded. Wikipedia provides numerous examples of his pre-presidency gun control advocacy, which included urging prohibiting gun stores within 5 miles of a school or park, something that would cause most gun stores to shutter up over night.
What does it tell? It shows a simultaneous decline with numerous other providers during the timeframe when Netflix and Comcast were negotiation for direct transit rather than requiring transit through intermediaries like Cogent. Without knowing when the direct transit was initiated, it's hard to tell exactly what went on. Very likely it's was done shortly after the deal was concluded and if you will note that AT&T and Verizon, who were both declining, ceased declining at the same rate and also started improving. It is quite possible that by cutting Cogent out of the Netflix-Comcast route that also improved performance for AT&T/Verizon by removing traffic from Cogent's network.
Nuclear ran as in powered by a nuclear reactor or powered by electricity generated by nuclear energy?
Naval freight would certainly necessitate nuclear reactors. However there have only ever been four nuclear powered cargo ships and they have all been light in compared of the bulk freighters we see today. One was converted to diesel. One was a hybrid passenger/cargo ship. One was converted into a nuclear powered drill ship. The last never carried cargo. I'm honestly not certain if nuclear could be a competitive fuel, at least not without raising the price of that dirty dirty dirty hydrocarbon they burn.
Rail freight I think has a better chance of being nuclear powered if you can convert it to electrical however I still think that the costs of enough batteries or electrifying the enter rail grid would be cost prohibitive. So we would need nuclear reactors scaled down small enough to fit within a reasonably sized rail engine. That honestly may not be that far off but there's no way that would fly with the public as long as there's still concerns about derailment, especially in or close to urban areas.
Rail trucking is likely a pipedream even if nuclear reactors small enough to fit in trucks could be developed so you would be better off trying to convert them electrical. However well that would work, I'm not certain.

They're laundering the coins. The high bidders will end up being shell companies for TLAs.
