There are many milestones to go before in orbit refueling is possible, among them : 1. What efficiency are you expecting without ground-based fuel chilling? 2. Have you solved for lack of gravity? Your fuel is sloshing around weightless. 3.

Can you explain in detail how to maintain obdurate blindness to context that's so airtight that it's plausible for a potential WWDC attendee to ignore what's going on in the US? I mean it's not like they're going to

Of course the Trumpist response is going to be the entire news media is failing and lying and doesn't do actual journalism and doesn't have multiple sources. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) published links to multiple data

EV sales in Germany were up by more than 40% in 2025. Evidently those problems aren't a showstopper. For what is supposedly a leading EV manufacturer to have a sharp decline in sales while that market is booming is unambiguously a majo

Last I checked, Tesla had over $30 billion in cash. Even in the worst case scenario, Tesla could shrink to be a large-ish and niche manufacturer. Until the cash is depleted and production falls to where factory utilization is low enough tha

Even if you are playing tic-tac-toe at a chess tournament, you still have to think a move ahead. Saying "Very naive to think that the Russian and Chinese governments didn't get a full copy" makes your initial point moot. If

They really are playing tic-tac-toe at a chess tournament. Do they think ASML will be sending technicians to fix their EUV machines in the US?

For the Ipace-based Waymos, Magna was assembling them. They already built the Ipace for Jaguar. IIRC there's a plant in Arizona where Magna does this. So it's plausible that they are assembling the Zeeker van there, too. For whate
