NIF's laser works for only 1microsecond, took over a decade to build and the price was over 3.5 bln.
"Peak current for the system exceeds 100 million amperes and the peak power exceeds 1 terawatt (1 trillion watts)"

Not an optics expert but I consult for a company that makes lasers. Afaik not currently possible. The beam divergence is only one of many limiting factors
Lasers are running at 30-40% efficiency so for a 100GW laser you need 400GW power plant. But the power plant and transmission has some losses so you probably would need 500GW
Impossible. Sooner or later one of the 3 letter agencies would have somebody on your team and they would introduce multiple backdoors one way or another.
That message could be using a new cypher that Klaus Schwab, Hilter's secret kid, is using at WEF to communicate with his buddies in a secret Nazi base in Antarctica
Is it possible that headphones could possibly open or weaken that barrier? Of course it would be a much weaker effect as the sound frequency is different.
Like it or not but it's the twitter that gets value from celebrities. How many people are on social networks jusy so see what their fav celebrites are doing?
Yes they buy equity but do they always pay upfront? I would imagine that they have some contracts structured in a way that allows them to pay in rates based on performance etc. Also, what if some vc signed contract last week with payment due this week and they can't pay. I dont expect a lot of cases like that but i suspect few did.
Does any one knows if VCs have contracts with startups where they have to deposit X amount weekly or monthly? Now if they can't because of the SVB debacle, can the startups sue them? This would put these VCs in even worse situation - not only they could be out of their money deposited at the bank but now they owe even more money to the startups.
It's just another way for Musk to keep Spacex from going bankrupt. This will not work well for TMobile but SpaceX will get some money to stay afloat. Another Musk's scam.
