You've hit the nail on the head though, this is an attempt to patent generating a calendar based on routine events. Or "a calendar" as it's already called.
Short selling isn't the problem, it's the motive of those doing the short selling that is the problem. With money by law being equated with speech, short selling should be given nearly the same regard as libel. An "investment" that is meant to lessen one's own losses by burdening a company that one expects to take a loss is more likely than not made in bad faith.
Fine, we'll begin with people who don't understand how to use the term "dregs of society" when the context presents itself.
Any number of people in that category can be removed from the category by explaining the mistake. Not only that, but the problem can be resolved without resorting to unethical extermination.
Yes, the era where the party heading the executive branch openly partners with Russians for business is a refreshing change of pace. The minority party party hardly has to do any of the work themselves, there's barely anything left for them since it's all transparent now. Cutting out the middleman on corruption, and operating the alleged shadow government in broad daylight turned everything upside down.
Millenials aren't actually lazy, they're getting paid stagnant rates and the money supply has increased. Inflation happens and spending power has gone down as a result. The same or greater productivity is expected and "kids these days" aren't the ones seeing the benefit of it.
This isn't even news. Gone are the days when a part time summer job is enough for that year's college tuition. A part time job might barely cover rent any more. And you can forget about having a savings account without at least one full time job and a part time job on the side.
Employers are offering fewer and fewer long term incentives, which results in lower employee loyalty in return.
It's not a mystery, it's not a secret. It's the economy, stupid.
Or corporations, or churches. When the group is so broad and vaguely defined, it's becomes easy to misattribute the bad qualities of some the members of the group (people) to the group itself (not people).
"I've met a vegan that won't shut up about being vegan" -> vegans won't shut up about being vegan
"This one guy/gal won't stop trying to promote $X fitness program on social media" -> crossfitters are spammers
"X people in this corporation were convicted of fraud/larceny/insider trading" -> X people in any corporation are getting away with it, they just haven't been caught yet
"Catholic priests are convicted pedophiles" -> Priests are pedophiles
These are the sort of results people come up with when they don't understand how implication works. It's highly effective in politics. Five people may know about one immigrant that committed a violent crime. They spread the word, and since it came from five valid sources, clearly it must be about five different people (a false implication, but easy to make). They a get a law passed to tighten the definition of immigrant status. As a result many people who hadn't committed a crime before the new law are now "illegal" ex post facto. Then you get people running campaigns with platforms against "illegals". It's an easy to follow con job with an enormous paper trail. But it still fools enough people to work.
There was a five-year estimate before July. July happened. The five-year estimate in July was $485 million lower than it was before July.
1) Something was taken into account in July that wasn't taken into account prior to July.
2) That difference resulted in a $485 million reduction in expectations.
3) The expectation changed.

Yes, I'd much rather Uber relocated to Venezuela. Excellent suggestion!
Suggesting torture as an example of weight loss is a character issue.
The guillotine, for those times when you want to edit all of the genes simultaneously.
Which leads to the old joke inquiring about how much fast food one would need to eat in order to starve to death.
It sure is a relief that the robot effectively used a weapon rather than directly harming someone else.
That sounds suspiciously like the premise for Plato's Republic. But with bits about the New York Times added in as a distraction.
Company Motto: "You're just holding it wrong."
Generates the user's blood type in real time. Also "handy" as an antitheft measure if an unrecognized fingerprint is offered at an unlock screen.
Gory details left to your imagination to make them even worse.

We're not dealing in fentanyl any more, honest!
You have to tap the side of a glass with the coal to make it truly homeopathic.
Besides, after Sarah Palin, Dan Quayle doesn't look so bad.
Damning with faint praise...
He'd need a Ouija board to pal around with Reagan, he kind of died back in 2004.

More incentive to treat robots in terms of humans, and tax them as such. Privatize defense funding and see how profitable robots are.
Not even close to the busiest shopping day of the year compared to Singles Day.

Like string theory, it has the benefit of being correct despite not being a strong answer.
That's an interesting and off-topic question! The article is about Amazon, not about Google.
Replying because the net moderation would be zero anyway.
Sort of, they already charge for receipt of the data. And for the delivery. Now they want paid for the ability to inspect and throttle in transit.

What about balloons :)
I don't think balloons would get the polar bears to stop eating people.
