The more efficient implementation is SpaceX's BFR. The United States will be able to buy BFR launches that carry bigger payloads than SLS, for a fraction of the cost. The SLS program provides no additional functionality over BFR. So we

If you believe this phenomenon started in Texas last year, you might want to do some research, and correct your post. It's been going on a lot longer than that.

It's not clear whether Russia actually has an operational HGV capability, or not. For the record, it's also not clear with Status-6 is operational, either. But the technology behind Status-6 is pretty much all stuff that we alread

This is very much a solved problem, for several decades now. US and Russian naval submarines routinely patrol for thousands of miles over weeks or months, without surfacing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_nav

It's helpful to recognize that the family of things commonly called "Marxism" is not a singular school of political economy. Over the 20th century, Karl Marx's original theories and philosophy have constantly evolved, br

I can understand why you might think this, but you're factually incorrect in this case. In the United States, the supply of medical doctors is artificially limited by state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine without a license.

Because it's not a "free market". The supply of doctors is legally limited... It's illegal to practice medicine without being licensed. And the number of licenses granted is limited. The license limits could be direct, l

Interesting thing about the term "nonce"... that etymology is not entirely accurate. It's not quite a false etymology, but it is a sort of a "backronym" kinda thing. In linguistics, the term "nonce word" d

I worked five years in the game industry, mostly on (guess what!) security and infrastructure for a Very Large F2P game. I was nowhere near game design or any part of the game loop itself, but I did a lot of work on our account system. >

Neither of those statements is true... Are games priced at $0? Will Amazon give you AWS for free? Do Apple and Google let you use all their mobile apps for free? Sure, FOSS is a thing... but plenty of software ain't FOSS. Re: regulatio
