It looked interesting - is it really $400 a month for access to the course, or is there some other way to just take the course without some kind of certificate?

> There is noone who can decide to work one hour more at his workplace and get paid for it, then donate the money to charity.

There are plenty of people that can make this exact choice. I'll work extra hours on occasion when my job is willing to allow us overtime, but not requiring it. Admittedly it's generally my stove broke and I need X dollars to replace it, not me donating the money.

Not trying to upset you, just trying to help you see that the story is not crazy. I'm not sure if you've tried trading futures or options before.

I've never traded futures, but I've seen with the amount of leverage that options provide makes the story quite believable (easy was probably not what the prior commenter meant).

I just want to jump in and comment that 30x gains in a year are not really that crazy with out of the money close to expiration options. I've had 2 different years in the past with better than 30x gains (and years where my options account went to 0).

If you had bought out of the money puts with a near term expiration for an index like SPY and it dropped 10%, you could be talking 80-1000 times return depending on how far out of the money and how close to expiration.

Disclaimer: I do not recommend out of the money options trading for anything other than pure gambling on money you couldn't care less about losing.

We've tested out DMS to migrate from a 3 node Oracle RAC to Oracle RDS, and I was incredibly impressed. They list a bunch of limitations in their documentation that you should look at first. It migrated our roughly 1 TB database in two hours and ten minutes and handled replication flawlessly - not a single record discrepancy between the two database systems over a week long test. We were not expecting it to work that well and doubted that it would work with RAC as the source.

They announced three products initially. Two Powerwall products (7kWh daily cycler and 10kWh emergency backup) and a grid scale product called Powerpack. The product that was canceled was the 10kWh emergency backup. They are still selling the grid scale Powerpack.

I haven't heard this before, can you provide a link?

SpaceX is competing with ULA for U.S. Government Agency launches but I don't think they could drive SpaceX out of the commercial launch business.
