"WHY does anyone need to buy an AR-15 with 30 round magazines."
Sounds like you've never fired one. Aside from other uses, the ability to place a slug in a small target from 300 meters away without special optics or a bruised shoulder, constantly, is well... just plain fun.
And, if you have to harvest game to eat, you couldn't find a better tool. Just because there's sickos that can use a legally available tool to do their sick deeds doesn't warrant legislation against a high quality tool. Outlaw bump stocks and fully automatic conversion kits if you want. Everyone knows they make the tool less efficient.
So before you mount your soapbox, fire one. Seriously. Just a FYI, I don't hunt nor own a firearm. But, my M16 was awesome and I can fully relate to enthusiasts. Someday I might venture into that hobbydome, I just got more interesting things ones now. But to each his own.

" get people to take up that offer to buy the latest Microsoft OS."
The problem is that MS doesn't really want to sell their software. What they want to sell is user metrics and their software as a service. Their real money made is enterprise service contracts, they're moving home users to the model (and most don't even realize it).

A reporter reports about half the story, how hard can it be to research if these said "events" were real or not? My guess, none ever happened. But, isn't a quality news report one that has the complete story? This report isn't sufficiently researched to have any utility besides stirring the pot.

Partly, but mostly because the industry is heavily subsidized by the government. It's significantly easier to assure you own the market when you have the ability to sell at a loss to prevent competition (especially when protection of IP isn't an issue). After you own the market, then you control the price.

Except that Northrop Grumman provided its own payload adapter for this mission and wasn't SpaceX's design, nor their responsibility.
https://www.theverge.com/2018/... "So what actually happened? No one is saying for certain, but there are a couple scenarios in which the Falcon 9 could have performed as it was supposed to and the spacecraft didnâ(TM)t deploy correctly. Typically, SpaceX uses its own hardware on top of its rocket to send a satellite into orbit, what is known as a payload adapter. Itâ(TM)s an apparatus that physically separates the satellite from the upper part of the rocket and sends it into orbit. However, a previous report from Wired noted that Northrop Grumman provided its own payload adapter for this mission.

That's has to be the most insightful, intelligent and non-partisan comment I've seen in the past two years. If the media, and both parties could understand 10% of the signifigance, we'd all be much better off.
" If the volatility is too high, their margins are not big enough to cover their losses." Untrue. Market makers list a bid, ask and quantity. Transparent markets have multiple market makers, each listing a bid, ask and quantity. Coinbase is acting more like listed securities, matching buyers and sellers, making money on the spread. A professional specialist profits immensely from volume (and the spread). Hence the more volatility, the better the profit for a listed market. The real problem is when there's disorder, insufficient resources to handle sell and buy orders, as Coinbase obviously lacks, no one knows the price.
No one loans bitcoins so there's no short selling interest and there's not yet a futures market. And as long as there's buyers in the market, there has to be sellers. And, there's no limit on a sales quantity on Naz nor listed securities. The only difference is that listed securities have a specialist that can stop trading when there's an imbalance (to match buyers and sellers) which isn't done on transparent markets such as Naz. Hence they're much more volatile.
As far as a guaranteed, fair and orderly market for Bitcoin, it doesn't exist. There's never a guarantee of liquidity or an orderly market.
In addition the slower the exchange is, the more money it makes.

Wrong. What you can do is take control of your hardware with an OS that permits it.
