It's too obvious to put the motor in the bike. What they should do is embed electromagnets under the road surface to help accelerate certain bikes and decelerate others.

More hype than substance unfortunately. The AI rediscovered an interferometer technique the Russian's found decades ago, optimized a graph in an unusual way and came up with a formula to better fit a dark matter plot.

Starbase builds far more rockets than any competitor so it stands to reason the injury rate is higher. Hard to get injured making a powerpoint presentation.

Not everyone wants to be "upleveled" which often actually means work on something completely different. This idea that companies must be the social safety net is deeply flawed, you want companies to take risks on new business line

Charity seems fine but we should definitly get rid of the tax loopholes. That would take much of the corruption out of it. These donor advised funds now allow someone to maintain full control of their money while the IRS considers it '

The rapid rotation and your blink reflex is apparently what makes it class 1 (supposedly). I don't see how a blink occurs if it isn't in visible spectrum. The science around the safety is very shaky, many tests look at only reti

The wile e cayote failure was using tesla's cruise control rather than FSD. Binocular vision is sufficient. Lidar will likely be outlawed anyway as it burns your retina. Dare you to put your eye (or cellphone camera) next to a waymo

Is this actually true? Amazon was pretty notorious for poor culture and high employee turnover yet the company performance has been stellar. Covid-era twitter clearly cared a ton about employee morale but the product stagnated. I find it&#

This flight's failure is a great example of why doing a full orbit is a bad idea. It's quite close to orbital velocity but keeping it just short ensures it will re-enter in the predicted zone even if they lose control (as they di
