I just assumed they were tapping them on their phone and had some kind of app, or website something
In addition to that, there are strong political incentives for ‘distributing’ contracts widely,
Government/Defense contractors can track their suppliers and tell Congress exactly how many jobs are in which districts per project.
The space shuttle was refurbishable. It needed an army of 5000 engineers a few months to get it flight worthy after each launch.
And ultimately that wasn't enough for safety.
No. Once moving an object keeps moving unless there is force that pushes it.
There is nothing in space to apply force on particles. One would also presume these tachyons don't interact much with regular matter, like neutrinos

It might be because the radio DJ in the town and the songs he plays after waxing philosophic.

Lord of the Rings is boring until they get out of Rivendell. Once they actually start their journey it's a fun read.
a small amount. Not the obscene amounts we eat here in America

by 'vector' they just mean a list of numbers (ex. [32,5,8,11]).
By dimension they mean the number of items in the list. In the above example it's a 4 dimensional vector.
Make the numbers binary digits and voila.
By hyperdimensional they mean the list has 500 or more items.

Holy shit, Litestep! That takes me back.
The main Proton-Boron reaction produces charged particles instead of neutrons. You can capture the charged particles directly as a source of voltage with no intermediate step. Just stick a piece of metal in the way and hook up wires.
Conventionally, neutrons are used to generate heat which is then used to drive steam turbines.
all fun and games until some jack-ass spoofs the GPS and moves a road 20 feet to the left.

Can any of this be beaten into a way to verify group membership?
Say you want to prove you are a member of the AMA or IEEE, or Bar? Could you set up a large group for the association and their communications, and then when asked provide verifiable credentials that you are a member? Like a group membership signature?

What's the difference between 0/0 and 1/0? 7 years ago
For x⋅0=a (i.e. 1/0) no number fits. It's like a database search that finds nothing. It's a null. A point that is not in the set.
For x⋅0=0 (i.e. 0/0) any number fits. Is there such a thing as an anti-null? In the infinite set, 0/0 is infinite.
If a/0 isn't any number if you exclude 0, then a/0 should be zero. Tada!
...of course zero wasn't in the set, which makes it a null
