They did raise $3B recently. I guess that buys a few different teams working in a few different directions.

At the risk of asking a really dumb question: Does this only work on PTFE or other flourine-compound surfaces?

To be fair, good noise cancelling headphones nowadays have "transparent" or "ambient aware" modes that actually electronically pipe the outside noise in. (Whether the cyclists in question are actually using that feature, who knows?)

Fracking. Before fracking people were worried about "peak oil", and being dependent on unfriendly governments for our basic energy needs. Then with fracking we realized we are actually sitting on huge available oil reserves, and peak oil quickly became a quaint outdated concept.

Did you need licensing / training to take on electrical work? Do you market yourself as an electrician or more just a handyman that does minor electric jobs?

The key difference here is whether your investment remains at risk. As long as the value of your investment is at risk, then the investment is considered unrealized.

Once you cash in your chips (sell) then the investment becomes realized.

Someone getting a loan against their stock portfolio is still at risk of loss of value of their holdings, therefore the investment gains remain unrealized.
