What you find out is in proportion to how much you fuck around. You have to fuck around to innovate and do new shit. It took a lot of fucking at Tesla and Space

What you find out is in proportion to how much you fuck around. You have to fuck around to innovate and do new shit. It took a lot of fucking at Tesla and SpaceX to get to where they are.

Fuck around and find out.....about Kessler syndrome? (I am being glib, but this is potentially a real problem, see https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/spacexs-starlink-could-cause-cascades-of-space-junk/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/spacexs-starlink-...)

  All Starlink sats will deorbit in under 5 years if unmaintained, please get a basic understanding of orbital mechanics before repeating nonsense like this. Edit: And shame on Scientific American for spreading the same nonsense. Also Starlink has automated collision avoidance systems that make them even less likely to collide than most sats currently in orbit, see the comments on this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/p7c96z/spacex_starlink_satellites_responsible_for_over/ https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/p7c96z/spacex_starli...

    Well, even though you consider it "nonsense" it was serious enough to be given consideration in their regulatory approvals.

They fucked around when they were a startup. It’s not often we get to see the fuck around at this level. It’s his and he can do as he pleases which makes this more entertaining than anything I’ve ever witnessed

Levereged buyouts, charging for features that were free, mass layoffs, strict workplace policies are hardly innovation. They're tried and tested standard boring-ass Jack Welch business practices.

I like how some people equate "innovate" with "break the law and make other people pay".

  Do they? You're the first one I've seen who has equated those two things.
