This is what contracts are for. There was no contract signed here.

Elon Musk was literally spit on by the Russians before starting SpaceX. There was also the long going spat with the former head of Roscosmos with him calling the Falcon 9 a "broomstick" and saying that NASA will need a trampoline

Well them being non-American is the important bit, and the website is literally "jewish press" so I'm not sure what you're expecting.

It sounds like you're agreeing with me in many more words. I can't figure out where the "and no" part is. The bank getting too much cash isn't something that they can avoid. That's out of their control. What ha

> Fire sale means the selling of the assets pushes their value down. This is not that. It’s insolvency; the assets were and are worth less than their book value. As has been repeated many times, the bank was never and is not insolvent.

There's a middle ground here that few people seem to have. 1. There should be no bailout. 2. The bank had a ton of assets and those assets still belong to the depositors. 3. The depositors shouldn't necessarily be made whole beyon

> Well. That wasn't happening. So the bank started making riskier and riskier loans rather than reduce the number of incoming deposits. You have a source on that? Pretty sure this is incorrect. They weren't making risky loans.

> It's generally a great idea to encapsulate unsafe code into a sound internal interface whenever possible, but this doesn't necessarily require that every single function be its own standalone interface. What matters is that i

by mlindner 4y ago
I completely agree. The contract of calling any safe function is that it is impossible to cause undefined behavior by calling that function (assuming there are no unsoundness bugs). That is the inherent built-in contract in any piece of Rus

by mlindner 4y ago
Every single function call is using an interface. Your public API is not the only interface. It's an extremely bad habit to pick up as this ruins one of the main purposes of Rust, namely it's ability to allow collaboration and whi

> But it is possible to have a private safe function that can only possibly be accessed from a small part of your code base. This would also be unsound. Multiple people develop software in a library. Any future developer on your library

by mlindner 4y ago
It doesn't matter if it's public or not. Every function is "public" to the person modifying the code. The purpose of unsafety/safety is primarily for the developer, not for users of a library.

Swarm operates as a wholly owned subsidiary as far as I can tell. It wasn't fully integrated into SpaceX.

They still use Swarm's own satellites. And Swarm still launches additional satellites. They last launched 12 satellites on January 3rd on a Falcon 9 launch.

This is an innate aspect of philosophy. You’d have to go history diving to whoever came up with the idea first but it probably originated around the time of the renaissance or Greek or Roman philosophers.
