The question is why would Amazon do something like that considering the rates would be really low? It would be in their best interest to delay payments for as long as possible.
A 40-year bond from a private company which might not last even half that long with a yield that is 1.45% larger than historically low rate government bonds. Riiiight....
No. This sounds like a solid core nuclear rocket. Like NERVA or Dumbo. It's not that different from a plain old nuclear reactor. There's a core with the uranium rods in the middle inside an enclosed metal shell which heats the liquid hydrogen or liquid ammonia reaction mass outside that then gets ejected outwards. The only way it would leak radiation is if the metal containment failed and even then it would be a much lower level of radiation than a nuclear explosion. It would be more akin to a nuclear power plant venting over like what happened in Chernobyl.
I've heard of no plans to use these in the atmosphere. From the sounds of it they're basically planning to make a nuclear engine similar to Dumbo so that has too low a thrust-to-weight ratio to even consider using as a first stage and would only be used in upper stage application (i.e. only fired in space) to propel probes or spacecraft to far away planets.
One of the things that British submarines were supposed to do to know if the country was nuked in a first strike was to listen to the BBC broadcast. If there was no broadcast then they were supposed to assume that the country was nuked and to do a retaliatory strike on pre-programmed targets over the Soviet Union.
When it happens in these regimes it is quite usually a sign of Bad Things To Come like a major purge or something. Remember this is the country which had the Cultural Revolution. So far the purges have been limited to major party officials. But it makes you think why are they so focused on tightening the screws like that. It's like they expect a major conflict or something. Stalin's purges in the Soviet Union preceded WWII and the Cultural Revolution in China preceded the Sino-Vietnamese War.
The Chinese government's censors and snitches have been a lot more active than usual. It started when the current President Xi Jinping rose to power and started his crackdown on Party "corruption". Later with the rising tensions in North Korea they've clamped down on all dissent and this includes tightening the screws on the Great Chinese Firewall.
The trick is to only use the headphones when you really need to focus on something. People eventually figure out you don't want to be disturbed and wait until you take them off.
The problem of making an atmospheric reenter vehicle for the warhead is trivial in comparison to making a multi-stage rocket. Or the nuclear device itself.
I wouldn't be surprised if the stock dropped in value once this bubble cools down. But I think the company will still be around in 5 years and they'll deliver more Model 3s.
It's still no way to have proper social cohesion. I see this a lot in California where a lot of people are rich but then you have crumbling infrastructure and a huge vagrant population. At least the weather is nice.
There are multiple causes for diabetes. In some cases it seems to be an auto-immune disease with several possible (known and unknown) trigger factors. But you can make someone diabetic just by removing their pancreas. Most of my family is Type 2 and I know people with Type 1 diabetes as well so I am pretty familiar with the disease, diagnosis, and treatment.
Did you even bother reading the page further and looking at the "What else can cause diabetes?" section? Pancreatitis is clearly labelled as a possible cause. Not all the world is Type 1. In fact most diabetics are Type 2 and only get the disease in like their late 30s or early 40s.

I hope so. What does Apple manufacture in the USA to begin with?
No, what I said was that rates are expected to go up further in the future. So why would Amazon be interested in paying off their debt early?

I assume that a plant can produce more complex biological structures than a bacteria.

They probably ignored it and assumed it was a bird. A larger drone would get detected more easily. Ships already have systems which can easily knock down a drone: Phalanx CIWS, Goalkeeper CIWS, 30mm DS30M Mark 2 Automated Small Calibre Gun.
Yes but the Guild Navigators for example also had limited precog abilities. They basically needed them to plot ship courses across fold space.

China also has a global positioning system called BeiDou-2.
Also it's not like a nuclear weapon needs to be extremely accurate. An inertial navigation system would be more than enough.
But they don't need to declare war. The Korean War (WWIII) never actually ended. There was only a cease-fire.

Not, it's like inventing a better incandescent light bulb when people are switching to LED lights:

Still, Warner MUSIC does not deserve to be paid for it either.

I thought the pinnacle was having its own built-in programming language.
Since when did I mention Type 1? I said diabetes. Diabetes just means that someone has elevated blood glucose due to impaired insulin production.
Pancreatitis is listed as a possible cause of diabetes here:

I hope the NIH is good enough for you. But you seem to be all knowing so perhaps it isn't good enough for you.
I'll give you a hint: doctors typically give names to disease symptoms not to disease causes.
