Isn't a property tax an on going thing? Unless I'm misunderstanding, this proposal could easily lead to a situation where a home is worth significantly less than the taxes due on it. All that has to happen is for the person who pr

At the end of it you lose the property, which means there's nothing to pass on. Also, there's the potential that the person in question is young enough that the situation could cost them their home before they are ready to leave i

It's entirely possible they didn't officially have the telemetry to answer any questions until speaking with SpaceX. They also have a responsibility to their own investors and business to get the answers right the first time.

I'm assuming you mean "Health and Safety" and not one of the many other meanings for that set of letters. On the other side of the pond, where this article originated, H&S isn't really a thing. The closest thing we h

I'd be more inclined to think this was someone who didn't understand the implications implementing a performance improvement. This bug is clearly deep into unk-unk (i.e. well past the known areas of concern) territory and took a g

His restraint and the fact that this stuff is even being considered tells me this is a really really bad bug. I doubt he would be so cordial in any other situation.

What GUI do you recommend? My experience has been that GUIs are the easiest and fastest way to make a mess that can't be corrected without dropping to CLI or re-cloning. (I'm looking at you SourceTree). I've long recommende

I suspect this kind of storage was not the original purpose of S3. For instance, it's a common to use S3 buckets to serve up webpage assets rather than using a dedicated CDN or your own servers.
