I recently purchased a Dell 30" screen with 2560x1600 resolution. It's really nice with IPS and the ability to display 12 bit color with the right software and graphics card.
I think the pixel density for text is about as high as I would want on a screen. For a 4K screen I'd want at least 40".
Shorting involves borrowing some stock, selling it to a buyer then and in the future replacing the borrowed stock by buying it at a (hopefully) lower price. Your profit is the selling (current) price minus the lower future price.
It is not possible for a right to be absolute. There are always circumstances where there are conflicts between rights. This principle is widely known.
For example I have a right to practice my religion. However let's say my religion requires that I prevent anyone from publishing a picture of my prophet. This conflicts with the freedom of speech of other people. Thus there can be no absolute freedom to practice my religion.
Similarly there is no absolute freedom of speech. There are some restrictions, such as child pornography.
In this case there is conflict as to the boundaries of the 5th amendment. What exactly is self-incrimination? It's quite possible that in the Judge's mind the revelation of the contents on one drive makes self-incrimination moot. Clearly the previous decision was based on the fact the FBI could not clearly prove the drives belonged to the accused. Since they were able to remove that doubt by decrypting the drive the element of self-incrimination was eliminated.
The problem is that Nasdaq wasn't able to deliver trade confirmations to brokerage houses and institutional buyers. This caused these organizations to try to place multiple orders that they didn't actually want, and it contributed to price uncertainty in the market.
But really you don't want to mess with that sort of thing. Sound investing isn't about gambling with hot ipos. It's about using sound principles of portfolio management, diversification and risk management, and keeping management costs down.
US gas production is also causing world gas prices to fall. Europe of course isn't taking advantage of this because their policies give coal plants overly generous carbon allowances.
These are the same people who are now building new coal burning plants because they shut down their nuclear power industry. And the coal they are burning is low quality crap lignite. In some countries in Europe coal consumption is increasing 50% per year.
Some have called it a new golden age of coal in Europe:
Now of course they are going to turn their back on much cleaner natural gas because they are afraid that they can't write effective regs for shale gas production?
The US industrial base hasn't shrunk. The fact is that it is still about the same percentage of world output as it always has been.
What has shrunk is the number of people employed in the manufacturing sector, which is due to improved automation and efficiency. People look at this and draw the conclusion that the output has shrunk, which is not so.
Well, I doubt if even Sergei is wealthy enough to commercialize a new fission technology given the tremendous obstacles.
Perhaps a consortium of the super rich could do it. It's too long-term a project for a corporation.
Otherwise it will take a government. Unfortunately ours is so dysfunctional that it isn't likely.
Maybe when it becomes obvious that these diffuse renewables are not going to provide the growth that is needed for the human race to get to the next level we will see the investment take place.
The US is converting gradually to the metric system, and NIST towards that for decades. The definitions of official US units in metric terms was one of those steps.
A lot of things sold in the US are sold in metric containers, for example 2L soft drink containers, many food packages and so on.
The US has also been signatory to every metric measurement treaty.
The petition is really rather silly. Changing the measurement system of a nation is a long and slow process. Even the French had to put it aside for a while (Napolean discontinued the process for a while).
The real shame is the US didn't start this process sooner. Thomas Jefferson actually advocated a decimal system of measures well before the French adopted the metric system but Congress (setting an alarming precedent) failed to act on the proposal. Later Jefferson was successful in getting the US to use a decimal currency, which was the first of it's type in the world.
Is it in contemplation with the House of Representatives to arrange our measures and weights [the same as the coinage] in a decimal ratio? The facility which this would introduce into the vulgar arithmetic would, unquestionably, be soon and sensibly felt by the whole mass of the people, who would thereby be enabled to compute for themselves whatever they should have occasion to buy, to sell, or to measure, which the present complicated and difficult ratios place beyond their computation for the most part

If the edit button becomes inactive after the post is moderated or replied to your objections become immaterial.
Lack of a reasonably intelligent button diminishes this forum.
Some times explanations are a detriment. Like midichlorians.
Depth of field plays big a role in this too. That may be the most difficult issue of all to fix.

Why would you expect the Republicans to be our watchdogs? They are just as much a part of the problem as the Democrats.
The who rotten mess of post-9/11 needs to be swept away. DHS, TSA, Patriot Act etc.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Wrong.

It depends what you mean by Joe q investor, but it is possible for a lot of people.

PayPal has account eligibility requirement that you must be 18 to open an account. And yes I checked it applies in Germany.
Also you aren't supposed to let others use your account.
So how did he avoid these terms of service?
that's not the way Chinese manufacturing works. They will build 'em for 59 cents each, but copy the existing bugs and also add in their own.
Everything that you say is true. However which would you rather be going into war inside? A cold war era MIG or an F-35?
Just because these systems have issues doesn't mean you aren't going be able to smoke anything else that you come up against on the battlefield.
This is aptly shown every time forces armed with these SOTA weapons go into battle. They rip whatever they go against to shreds in minutes.
China needs to be thought about in another way. It's more like Zerg vs Protoss.

Dumb dumb dumb.
You shouldn't trust the gas industry. You need sound regulation and enforcement.
But the scare tactics and yes outright lies put forth by the opponents of fracking are just as bad.
The fact is that there are no confirmed reports of fracking contaminating drinking water.
The secondary operations associated with fracking have caused problems and there is a definite need to improve these operations.

MOAR COAL!!!
Europe's environmental policy is flat out nuts.
While I think anything run by Murdoch is a corrupt mockery it appears to me that this reporter was engaged in real investigative journalism.
As such his treatment is a serious scandal.
Howcum it wasn't a major scandal when Bush was doing the same thing?
Could it be the House and was Republican for 6 out of his 8 years in office?
So suppose I'm in the NPK counter intelligence agency and see this report.
It wouldn't take a giant step to come to the conclusion that there is a plant in out organization.
Just the report is enough.
Thomas Jefferson was suis generis.

None of that is necessary. Just broaden the research exemption, which has been proposed many times.

This is all on the courts who in a totally moronic decision greatly narrowed the research exemption back in 2002.
This decision needs to get overruled like right NOW.
