I sometimes use online communication like a letter. I pause to collect my thoughts. I proof-read. I revise. Two points: (1). I only do this when I have something to say (or, rather, when thoughts call me to say them). However, pretty much w

Buzz testified against Elon Musk and SpaceX. I don't think he can have it both ways. For something this challenging, it has to be your primary goal. You can't be picky about secondary issues.

This is harsh: I visited a company town once, and it struck me that Australia is like a giant company town. Our wealth comes from mining and farming, and the owners share enough to keep things humming. Result: a good life, risk not needed,

My second remark is that our intellectual powers are rather geared to master static relations and that our powers to visualize processes evolving in time are relatively poorly developed. For that reason we should do (as wise progra
