What I want to know is what provoked the change of heart. Two years ago, the position was as follows: "If there comes a time we stop developing the software and feel 'finished', we'll consider it, but we're a long w

Seems to me like it's the listening bots that are the problem, rather than the AI-generated music? And presumably, fraudulent listening bots were a problem well before now. I suppose there's a case for removal if the only listen

It's quite clear that the lack of diverter/deluge was a misstep, and the effect was unanticipated. So many things were damaged - launch cameras, that car, a pad-side oxygen tank, likely several of the rocket motors. You can see en

Arguably the entire concept was flawed, fueled more by a sci-fi concept of "wouldn't it be cool if" rather than a sober cost-benefit analysis. It was a space station, built into a rocket, built into an airplane that is also a

Well that's an interesting new level on the teetering tower of build systems. Perhaps, in the future, projects will simply include ChatGPT prompts instead of CmakeLists.txt directly. Or a script to generate the correct ChatGPT prompt..

This kinda begs the question. Yeah, writing a smartphone app is already painful, and doing it that way on the device would be ridiculously more painful. Is that an inherent property of the form factor, or the result of systematically orient

That doesn't work if your field is super weird and niche. You end up giving the same elevator pitch over, and over, and over... I suppose it's a "nice problem to have".

At a guess it has something to do with needing to withstand 70+ mph winds. There needs to be considerable force holding the door against its seals at all times, and in a mechanical latching system this force must come from a spring, which m
