I always read the article first, then the comments. I want to form my own thoughts before seeing it from someone's else's perspective.

Why is this article relevant right now? It's over a year old. What am I missing?

I feel like part of the problem is the obsession in media and social circles with young success. I see lists like Forbes 30 under 30, 40 under 40, and the celebration of young billionaires who are worshipped and held up as the example of wh

You make a good point here, I sometimes forget BE-4 is being used on other boosters.

I feel like they have to use a third party at this point. The friction between Musk/SpaceX, Blue Origin, and the FCC makes me think that Kuiper needs to get on orbit ASAP to begin testing. Starlink is rolling out quickly, and if Amazon

How so? SpaceX is a proven launch system at this point, ULA has plenty of business, and SLS isn't going anywhere soon, so there aren't many options for new entrants.

While I certainly agree that aggressive timelines often get modified, especially with new launch systems, initial estimates in 2016 were for first flight in 2020.[0] Then they pushed to 2021.[1] Additionally, the fact that they called out Q

More bad news for the Blue Origin team, but at least they've got pockets deep enough to absorb the delay to revenue.

What is a significant percentage? And how much influence does Facebook and Reddit have on voting?

How much of the US voter base is paying attention to 4chan users? My assumption is basically none.

Will it impact faith in the market? No. It will absolutely cause people to think twice about Robinhood as a brokerage, but that is a small portion of the market. I was able to trade GME all day on E Trade without a single issue.

+1, fully agreed. There are definitely people making stupid bets and losing (like they should, IMO), but the notion that markets are this black box beyond human comprehension is laughable. That's especially true when you filter out the

Again, I think you're overestimating the negative sentiment about the market being driven by the madness that is GME, BB, KOSS, and EXP over the last few weeks. Most retail investors are watching from the sidelines and scarfing down po

Robinhood could shut their doors tonight and it would have little impact on Wall St. or the American stock market. Robinhood isn't even in the top 5 for online brokers in terms of assets under management (AUM). Vanguard, Schwab, BAML,

This is not nominative determinism. Per your link, nominative determinism is the theory that influence occurs after the name is coined. Palantir was very intentional in picking the name before they even started, because it aligned with what

Quit being dramatic, you "wasted" a few "precious" minutes on a great website that is being shared free of charge.

Good point, being able to roll back to a specific release would be very handy.

I've added this to my reading list, thanks for sharing. In another thread earlier today I was talking about the book American Buffalo by Steven Rinella. He has a whole section dedicated to the demise of bison in water, mud, floods, and
