I believe you're thinking JSTARs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_E-8_Joint_STA... Or maybe the E-3 Sentry aka AWACS, but the JSTARs matches the "big plane" better and has a giant syntheti

Yes. Modern brick buildings generally have load bearing frames and then brick in place of vinyl, but they're still called brick houses :) External walls being load bearing is generally not a thing anymore since the "invention&quot

Many parts of the US prefer the aesthetics of brick. It isn't about the cost.

They're targeting a battery cost of $100 / kWh per Elon some time ago.

I wonder if this could be used with the bricks used from expelled tunnel material from the Boring Company. It would dovetail nicely into the rest of Musk Enterprises. https://electrek.co/2018/07/13/elon-musk-b

Sending less data over starlink (which is not tcp/ip btw). I’d you can make 10Mb suddenly only require 900k of actual raw bandwidth by say adding a fpga or something then you can increase throughout to the users.

There is absolutely no way a satellite network can clear that kind of downlink bandwidth. Evergreen comment. Encoding and compression software and hardware continue to improve. The only constant in technology is change. Will we be

I'd sort of expect LTE operators to pay SpaceX for kit to do literally this.

We use the term “manhole” for those sorts of things

I take it you've literally never seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO5S4vxi0o The joke went entirely over your head boss.

Yeah I realize that. It is just surprising is all. It is a very nice to use interface. Getting an equivalent in stdlib would be great.

I’m kind of surprised they don’t mention afero at all, who was one of the first big packages to abstract filesystem access. Shoutout as they make unit testing filesystem ops a piece of cake! https://github.com/spf13/afe

Why only turn it up to 11 when you can turn it up to 31? See the Starship dial goes all the way to 31.

Exactly. Elon has explicitly mentioned manufacturing metholox (the raptor engine fuel) using a really beefy ISRU factory. It would be feasible, but is still a lot of work required.

> - the raptor engine. This was developed behind closed doors and is sort of finished. We won't see much of it, but it is the most advanced rocket engine ever made and I'm not aware of any upcoming engine that can compete with

This is sort of the inverse of gimp's "foreground select tool". It was a PHD thesis on the algorithm to select foregrounds that was contributed to the gimp photo editor as open source. https://docs.gimp.org/en

All of SpaceX's new starlink satellites have the new sun visor, per musk. I believe the last launch (or maybe two?) of starlink satellites had them. The one coming up this weekend also will have them.

I own a Tesla, and there are not card readers at superchargers.

Until EVs are more mainstream I guess, but that won't probably be for another 5-10 years.

Lysdexia for the lose. You’re spot on. I read this article thinking of Ruger for some stupid reason. The Ruger Precision Rifle (I have one chambered to 6.5mm creedmoor) is an excellent and affordable distance shooting rifle.

by SEJeff 6y ago
The remington precision is also at an incredible price point for a longer range rifle compared to much of its competition.

I take it you work on some "government" projects? I wonder if that is all TEMPEST grade shielding.

Tesla's first car was the Roadster, and it was released in 2008. How do you get "almost 20 years" when the first car they released was 12 years ago? Tesla was founded in 2003, but even that is not 20 years.

No one is actively trying to build nuclear cars however. Additionally, no one has a prototype nuclear car, because that is a stupid and very dangerous idea. There is a prototype cybertruck, and Tesla is about to announce the location for th
