I'm actually a little bit confused by this - is this serious? It all seemed normal (well, normal being relative) until the last bit about ex-drug smugglers and cash-lined suits.
Maybe I'm just not rich enough to fall into this kind of R&D mindset where these things even warrant consideration by sane humans.

Yeah I'm realizing now I need to better exercise my logical facilities before submitting an article with such outlandish claims. For my first HN submission ever this is pretty much worst case scenario
It is clearly false. Derwood Hodgegrass is unbelievable for a name even before websearching it.
Yes. No one uses the word "egress" unless they're installing basement windows, and I would hope that when I crack the billion mark I don't need two assistants to towel me off when I'm done swimming.
Billionaire who chooses to stay in the hamptons in the winter and doesn't have an indoor swimming pool. Hahaha
That made me think of Nauthólsvík in Reykjavík:

Not sure if this is real but I don't think its good for the ocean.
I don't think something the size of an ATM can heat 100 square yards of ocean.

Can't tell if fiction.
This is one of the most disturbing things I've read today.

It would work if that device on the beach was a compact nuclear explosive :-)
