Musk has stated it's SpaceX intention to create methane from the CO2 in the air, powered by solar panels. (Basically the same technology they want to use on Mars to produce the return trip propellant) Burning the methane will of course

It's amusing how quickly we start taking things for granted. Right now SpaceX is the only company that recovers their orbital class booster. And that didn't happen until 2016! Prior to that, everyone dismissed landing rockets as i

The Falcon 9 has had 126 missions so far and only 2 of those were failures. It's not a perfect record, but it's pretty decent. And presumably SpaceX has learned from those failures. Compare that to the Ariane 5 rockets (which will

That’s not how evidence works, my friend.

It should absolutely be discounted. There's literally no evidence suggesting he was murdered. He was about to be extradited, the US Government was well on their way to making an example of him. There was no incentive to murder him.

It's pretty meaningful if you're a low margin restaurant. This was never about bringing costs down for customers, it was about protecting local businesses.
217.
by Me1000 5y ago
The snark seems misplaced. This regulation is not about making food delivery cheaper for customers, it's about making sure the restaurants are able to maintain enough margin to stay in business, a notoriously difficult business at that

by Me1000 5y ago
Delivery services are still free to charge whatever they want for delivery. This cap only applies to what they're charging the restaurant to be on their service.
219.
by Me1000 5y ago
The cap is on the commission the delivery service can charge the restaurant. They're free to charge the customer whatever they want to deliver the food.

They have supported it on desktop Safari for years, so it really is just a political decision for them at this point.

Not just legal threats, the whole line about being “the most demanding intern we’ve ever had” was an ad hominem attack that was completely out of line. It was cruel, mean, unnecessary, and unprofessional.

Yeah, I had to check their website... it looks like some of the their models have replaceable batteries now, but they certainly didn't start that way (and not all of their products have a replaceable battery today).

Yeah, the parent comment here is a little off. Node is not for UIs, so they're definitely not using Node for that. It was confirmed that the UIs in the Dragon capsule (which, sorry for being pedantic, is not really the "rocket&quo

This is something TC39 would be responsible for, not the Node project.

Climate change _is_ a result of global warming. It's not that complicated, so let me try and explain: climate patterns will change as the earth warms up. Jet streams change, hurricanes get more powerful and occur more frequently, etc.

1) There are wind turbines in Antartica. There's nothing inherently bad about wind turbines in the cold. 2) This might be a black swan event, but we've seeing a lot of "once in a 100/500 year" weather events in the

In my original comment I said I favor carbon taxes (in addition to other measures to stop carbon emissions). But the comment I'm replying to seems to imply that it doesn't matter where the electricity comes from, that bitcoin is b

by Me1000 6y ago
This is both a good and a fair critique of bitcoin. But I don't understand the endgame. Should the use of bitcoin be banned or just shamed? Let's assume for a moment that I live "off the grid" and run my full BTC node us

My problem with these takes is that they're missing the forest through the trees. I don't believe you'll ever be able to solve climate change by shaming people based on their usage of electricity. The problem is not HOW peopl

Yeah, it seems like they make this course free a lot. I remember almost 10 years ago watching Evan Doll instruct this class. I think I watched it as a video podcast at the time. To be fair, I'm sure the course changes from year to year

Rapidly reusable means the goal is to have Starship (or at the very least the Super Heavy booster) fly multiple times a day. The Space Shuttle needed a new external fuel tank each flight, and the SRBs required significant refurbishment, to

by Me1000 6y ago
That's a lot of speculation. We don't yet know why one of the Raptor engines failed to relight. The Raptor is a very new engine with only a handful of minutes of flight time. Keep in mind they also replaced a couple of the engines

Falcon 9 lands using only a single engine and it has been a long time since a merlin engine failed to reignite on landing. It'll be interesting to see what exactly happened with SN9, there's some clear video footage of piece flyin

If you watch the video you can see that a layman would easily understand how it all works. It literally prints a ballot where you can verify your choices, and you drop it off. This is pretty much the gold standard: a paper trail that can be

Without taking this action and being removed from the App Store, Epic would not have had standing[0] to sue Apple. Their lawsuit would have likely just been thrown out. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_(law)
