Well, Skype has recently introduced a bot API ([1]), integrable with the azure bot framework thingy ([2]) that also works with Telegram/Slack/FB Messenger/MS Teams, so I guess (though I haven't looked into it, let alone

Of course they have a real reason: message sync. Telegram works on your PC, in your browser, on your phone, on your tablet, in your raspberry pi tty... all with the same messages synced everywhere, which you wouldn't be able to get wit

According to Wikipedia [1] the top selling PC game is Minecraft, with 24 millions sold, followed by World of Warcraft that got to around 14 million subscribers, while Diablo III is in third place with 12 million copies sold... Sure, that&#x

Well, they're landing a really light shell with a really powerful engine for now, on Earth. Mars is gonna be a different story, considering the Red Dragon mission in 2018 (with already existing infrastructure, since the Red Dragon will

No it won't, but they're definitely gonna reuse the tech they're developing to land the S1 on Earth to land the MCT on Mars And to land the BFR S1 on Earth, which I'd guess would be a bit too much for parachutes even wit

> You can land on a planet or moon with no atmosphere. IE: Mars, the ultimate SpaceX goal, which has just enough atmosphere to be annoying but not nearly enough to make parachutes work, so they had to find another way to land a big enoug

I tried running it as my only os on my daily driver laptop a few years ago (mountain lion, I think), checked all the hardware before even thinking about installing it, everything was "fully compatible"... and it was pretty bad. Th

An even better example would probably be Minecraft, which was released in 2011 and is still getting new features, biomes and blocks 5 years after hitting 1.0

That doesn't stop them from launching a new Dragon (2? hopefully they'll reuse CRS8's booster before that, but it'd be cool to see the first Dragon 2 on top of the first booster landed on the ship) on top of a reused boo

Elon Musk: "We'll be successful, ironically, when it becomes boring." Well, it's not boring yet, but it's definitely not on "First successful booster landing ever" hype levels, though probably the first fe

This was also a NASA launch, so they probably provided additional cameras and/or stuff like that, like they did with CRS8's chase plane (the first successful landing on the ship, the plane circling the boat was provided by NASA si

Another good example of this are the Steam sales, especially the big ones (summer and christmas sales render the store completely unusable for the first day or so) It's "good enough" for the week of the sale, upgrading all th

yeah, but it's not cross device. web/desktop clients use your phone to talk to whatsapp's servers, while telegram is actually cross platform with working message sync

remember to always take Elon's time preditions with caution, he originally said CRS8's booster (the first landing on the ASDS) would be ready for flight in "june, maybe july" I'm sure they're doing their best,

Yeah, it was first announced in 2011 (!) I think, and it's still on preorder I'm waiting on my signature edition though, hopefully they took their time to make it decent enough... I'd assume the lag is a software issue, it sh
