What do you define as "most base level"? It's a development project. When something is in development you still have lots of bugs to be ironed out. However it was quite successful, even given that. It reached orbital velociti

Not sure what you're saying. The F-1 engine is easily beaten by many engines that exist today. It was not a very high efficiency engine at all.

I think that's reversing cause and effect though. NASA didn't "figure out" anything, they had to be forced kicking and screaming to do it. They may be embracing it now, but they did not cause it.

Note that one of the images he uses is a doctored/edited NASA image. It's the 4th slide in this slide deck: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20220003725/downloads/22... That should probably

That sounds a lot harder to prove than if they were going for negligence.

I think it'll be difficult to prove in court. To actually be found guilty they'll need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the executives knew there was problems it wasn't just ignorance or ineptness. That'll be diffic

Talking about one's own privilege is a form of self-defeating nonsense that serves no purpose. It only harms your future potential. There's no reason morally to frown on having more potential from your starting point versus someon

> 2. Will it degrade further? Are follow-up surgeries needed? They said in the weeks following and it doesn't seem to have continued to happen. However I would expect things to degrade eventually as this is still very early days.

You say they're doing things that are cheap and trivial, but isn't the major innovation of Neuralink the fact that they're using very fine wire probes? No one else has done this and instead used relatively hard fixed arrays o

Not the person you asked, but the paper isn't peer reviewed and has been getting outsized influence in the media despite that. It's obvious its part of the ongoing campaign in media and political circuits to defame and downplay Sp

The paper in question was never peer reviewed despite all the press attention it gets from the media. It was even written by someone who isn't a professor at any university.

The injury rates are about the same as construction or ship building industries. Which is what SpaceX's sites are more similar to rather than extremely clean precise cleanroom facilities like in the rest of the industry. Right now they

Falcon has a reuse window of less than a month, 21 days in fact. And that's why you use multiple vehicles. Falcon also uses multiple vehicles which is how it achieves flights on average every 3 days so far this year. Also Falcon is inh

There is no evidence to backup your statement that it didn't have enough fuel to complete it's mission. It intentionally did not go to orbit because they didn't want to risk stranding such a huge vehicle that can withstand re

I think you missed what I was saying. Talking about other countries isn't really relevant here. This is about what's going on within Ukraine. Starlink is not active in Russia, for example.

SpaceX knows where every dish in the world is (they have realtime data displays showing it). What they don't know is who owns each dish besides what credit card account is attached to it. Also Ukraine has requested that they not disabl

SpaceX worked with the state department to enable it. It happened during the Iran protests. So it's more like the state department allowed any US connectivity provider to provide service in Iran.

In folded down beds that you pay extra for. Also it's possible that some portions are too oddly shaped to fit people so that can also be used for luggage.

I honestly love the idea. Remove the cargo bay and overhead bag rack and then stack bunk beds floor to ceiling for tremendous density while still being able to lie down. You should be able to fit way more people in the plane than they do si

We're not in the era of "the internet" anymore. It's a bunch of firewalled devolved internets that are entirely within a single corporation. For example if the US banned access to all Chinese websites I think that would
