Some claims reflect extreme differences in estimated values. In one appeal filed in 2015, Apple said that a cluster of properties in and around Apple Park in Cupertino that the assessor valued at $1 billion was worth just $200. In another, property that the assessor valued at $384 million was, in Apple’s view, worth $200, according to an appeal application. Wow. Just Wow! So they will sell it to the public for that price???

Just turn it around quickly, of course if apple says it is worth $200, then you should be paying almost no tax anyway.

I'll pay Apple 100 times their price! I'm feeling generous today; make that a 1000! Think of the deal they'll get.

Engineers have developed printable metal tags that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into "smart" Internet of Things devices. Just don't remove the tags (under penalty of law)
"LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter (three feet) away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range." Dang. I have one four feet away at the moment.

As long as the meltdown continues through at least September or October so I can get my new RTX 2080 (assuming the rumor mill is right about the upcoming branding) GPU at nothing worse than the normal new card demand spike markup I'll be happy. Beyond that I don't really give an :elepant: . The crypto-anarcho-libertarianism BTC started with interested me a bit, but it's reality has become more centralized than the global fiat money supply, operating the network via proof of pollution is turning into an environmental catastrophe that only benefits the coal industry, while the civil war over block size has limited the transaction rate to something far too low/too expensive to ever be anything beyond various forms of circle ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
