Attempts at this type of legislation make me almost irrationally angry. This is a quote from the article that the PIA post linked to (translated from Swedish by Google so wording may be slightly off): "Today there is an organized onlin

I really hope that they manage to get this working on one of the next few launches; they got so close this time! From what I've read, they're approaching a situation where they are fairing-limited rather than core-limited, as a re

Ok, I have a very rough number for the possible size if launched on a fully reusable BFR with payload based on a talk Elon gave in late 2017 [1]. I'm assuming that internal space scales roughly linearly and that deflated width isn&#x

In response to the second part of your comment, I don't think so, aside from new features that might be present in newer kernels than the Redhat family distros provide.

Now, to wait for the EFF and friends to sue. From what I've read, it seems like they've got some pretty good arguments against the FCC, so hopefully something good will come of that.

Had to go find the famous "you are not expected to understand this" comment in the context-switching section. Looks like it's at line 2238 if anyone is interested in taking a look at it and the code that we are so famously no

I love that book so much. My favorite part is the section on chlorine trifluoride (ClF3): "It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that n
