In Sweden a bunch of teenagers died from drinking red bull and vodka, and politicians raved and limited sale of energy drinks to people under 16. Of course, it was almost certainly 99% the alcohol, and the rest 1% could be equally blamed on

I'll take that bet. How much money and what time horizon? I can go so far as cutting down "never" to say 15 years?

The paren for the argument to if in C is just there to be able to omit {}. Which is one of the most stupid things in C. Add two characters for ALL if statements to avoid two characters for >1% of if statements. That is a mathematically c

You like to use big words. But you're not making any sense. Notice this.

I think you might be confused about the expression "world model". In this context it clearly means that a person has an understanding of reality based on "math->physics->chemistry->biology->psychology" instea

"Appease" is such a loaded word. He's literally not allowed by law to do it. And China has anti-satellite weapons, and any significant use of that could destroy the entire low Earth orbit for all of humanity for hundreds of y

Saturn V did have at least one suborbital mission with Spacelab though. So not as hard to compare as you say.

I've seen worse from SpaceX haters. I've had a "conversation" here on HN by someone who claimed that SpaceX doesn't land boosters anymore for example. Conspiracy theories basically.

He means that they are cash flow negative if you discount all government income and at the same time include all costs with those launches :P

> The thing is, there is no demand to get that much stuff into space. You mean no other company except SpaceX has such a demand. But SpaceX does in fact have such a demand and are using it to make a profit. Small governments don't u

The test flights include R&D. The ~1b per flight of Saturn V was excluding R&D when the program was churning along. I guess you could argue that it's never meaningful to compare anything that isn't a commodity though, whic

Well... no. The PLAN for the Starship lander is to have 100tons of cargo. That's why it takes so many refulings.

Adding to previous comment, looks like the cost per launch when the system was up and running was ~1billion USD inflation adjusted. I'm going to assume Starship will beat that easily.

The connection between Eric and Sabine seems a bit... weak in this article. It sounds like 90% guilt by association, and 10% substance.

The most amusing has to be then Zuckerburg publishes his "thoughts" about how he's betting 100% on AI... written underneath the logo "Meta".

Well that's clearly bs. https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/c2vdnvdg6xxt is 100% against Israel. It even openly cites a Hamas source as if they can be trusted to tell the truth.
