Rein in their margins is probably a better term. I’m a spacex fan but I’m reminded of what happens to every darling leader that crushes competition. It gets complacent, uses shitty tricks to cut out competitors, and raises prices. I saw thi

Does anyone know what the fuel level was for the static test fire vs the upcoming mission profile? I want to know how big the explosion for new Glenn would be fully loaded.

Blowing up on the pad is incredibly worse from a design data collection perspective, a risk to life perspective, and a downstream impact to future launches perspective (nobody can use that site for a couple of months).

There are some that try and they get roasted as “RINOs”. The problem with the two party system is that you either vote for a despicable person that implements your major beliefs or someone pleasant that wants to implement policies you think

It’s still a false equivalence and the concern isn’t paying something to taxes. The bottom 30-40% of all federal tax payers contribute less than they receive back. So even in a tax argument, adding additional low income earners is not a goo

xAI perhaps. But that wasn’t even a part of spacex last year and the company existed just fine.

Creditors in the US can make visibility into financials a requirement for financing if they want. Protecting creditors isn’t a good argument for public reporting.

Corrupt doesn’t mean “acts without incentives”. If you assume a corrupt system, then the inputs are going to be who has influence over the DOJ. If there is more money to be made by breaking a cartel, then they would absolutely do it.

You’re confusing two independent things. There are simple processes that are extremely capital intensive with long lead times and then there are complex processes that require lots of R&D and industry secrets. Memory is the former in th

That quote you pulled is about illegal immigration. Conflating undocumented immigrants with “anti-immigration” is a false equivalence. There are no doubt people against immigration entirely but the majority opinion I hear from conservative

It seems to me like either your architecture is fucked up or you’re using the wrong language/tooling for the type of software you are making if you’re introducing security vulnerabilities that frequently.

You were in charge of all of the union decisions in all 3? That’s good for you but not representative nor possible for everyone joining a union.

There are populations of people that have been exposed to fog machines daily for that duration of time as part of their jobs. This isn’t a complete unknown. Also vaping isn’t even new at this point. We’re at probably 20 years now of the fir

If fentanyl had 1/100th the death rate of heroin we absolutely would be celebrating it. That’s what we’re discussing here. I don’t think you understand how bad smoking is.

No, Japan had not surrendered before the bombs. There is no evidence of that in Japanese or western history. Where are you getting that from? > Are you saying USA cared about the Chinese? I’m saying it was not beneath Japan to commit hor

Nukes were not a response to Pearl Harbor. The framing in general of “Japan only took military action and the US sank to attacking civilians” is wrong too. Take a look at what Japan did to the Chinese during that time period if you think th

No, the context was getting a handle on smoking, not some alternative goalpost. As lung cancer rates plummet from lack of second hand smoke nobody should ever lament that even if people are doing something else not great. Classic “perfect i

yep, you might want to consider why those states are a minority. Reacting with incredulity to try to convince people a minority view is better is not good for whatever it is you’re trying to sell.

You are mixing up Tesla and SpaceX. SpaceX already produces solar panels for the 10,000+ satellites it has in space.
