You think the group tasked with developing whatever hardware device they're trying to build is isolated away from senior leadership and is running rogue?

And on the other hand people can just design dangerous and dumb products even without the constraint of standardization.

by mixdup 4mo ago
So the problem was that they diverged from the standard design in key important ways. The trick would be not to do that, to actually stick to the standard design. Or, to make sure that the impacts of deviations are fully accounted for and i

Nothing about the 737 MAX situation had anything to do with the fact that it was standardized and every plane wasn't bespoke. That is a weird thing to compare this to. You could absolutely still screw it up if you were designing each r

by mixdup 4mo ago
Standardizing doesn't mean you never change, but there is a middle ground between the current design is locked in stone forever vs. every plant is completely bespoke with no interchangeable parts and operationally different

Yeah I mean obviously each one would be managed on its own to an extent but one big problem we have in the US at least is that we build so few reactors that each one is bespoke. They may be based generally on certain designs but they will v

I think the "marketing/offers" means discounts? To be eligible for the discounts or special offers, you have to be a member of the club, and if you are a member of the club you have to be willing to receive the email messages

by mixdup 4mo ago
In the US you can use Apple Pay anywhere NFC payments are accepted. It's generally completely open on the acceptance side at this point

It is much more feasible for Jeff Bezos to sell a billion dollars worth of Amazon tomorrow or Bill Gates to sell a billion dollars worth of MSFT tomorrow than it is for Elon to sell a trillion dollars of SPCX even over a year's time I

Buying Tesla is just buying SpaceX. When they roll up Tesla, it will be in a stock deal not real money. None of this is real money and I would argue that Musk is not the world's first trillionaire because there is no reality in which h

I personally think Bitcoin will eventually peter out, and that it's fairly risky as it has definitely been pushed by vibes and promotion and everyone wanting to get in on it I mean that can apply to anything. There's nothing intri

An extreme majority of Space X's self-determined value proposition has nothing to do with space. Out of an overall TAM of $28.5 trillion, $26.5 trillion is based on AI. Personally I believe that number will actually approach zero, but

True, and it's a common question that comes up: What's the point of owning a stock if it doesn't pay a dividend? How do you participate in the company's performance? There are other ways for performance to translate to t

by mixdup 4mo ago
The thing is fundamentals really don't matter. TSLA and SPCX aren't paying dividends so there's no real performance they have to hit, no one is going to miss a dividend payment and dump the stock. The Elong vibes can carry

If you feel that abortion is killing an otherwise viable human being, then you should be pro-life now. Especially if you're anti-death penalty and feel that no one should die for any reason. On the other hand if there are any reasons w
