Please read more about the space race. Soviets were kicking our ass for a while until we got into high gear. And there was no rich billionaire, or entire govt institutions to help with technical debt

Why is it a blanked statement that “govt is corrupt” such a universal truth? People can be corrupt too - musk redirected Tesla resources to build his glass house

Hm, my initial thought to this question was - is china producing so much of the worlds stuff that it affects extreme poverty - like making phones that allow an Indian farmer to better sell his fruits. Is there anything to this idea?

Yeah… commercial aviation is in shambles, Boeing isn’t doing great, and FAA is understaffed so Occam’s razor. Don’t have to believe everything Musk says during an election year

Ryan Hansen had an incredible (although unofficial) 3d modeling video of the mechanism. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ub6HdADut50

Good on you for trying to contact local e-waste! I feel most people (incl my uncle) just toss and forget

Please leave the FAA alone. It has never been political. They literally have a fiduciary interest in helping aviation companies. SpaceX works really closely with them.

I didn’t read the parent comment that way, who did give due deference to spacex. This is hard stuff, as I was reminded when the dragon capsule exploded during very early testing. But spacex is such a beast that it overcame that ridiculously

Wow that’s one of the most beautiful fonts I’ve ever seen but I’m not seeing it in this document is it the actual nasa logo?

Could you imagine scheduling this in your calendar only to realize you just missed it?

Honestly, even with the cost and the time I would take the bus. I hate driving so much lol.

Did you diy a roof install? I’m really looking into this as I live in the southeast, but I’m getting ridiculous quotes (60k for a 10kw system with two power walls).

Unrelated, but the second link is very intriguing. Does this mean that housing can be free for the population? Its just hard to wrap my head around given housing issues in the west

Is he referring to the electrek article?

While I agree with almost everything, I disagree with the "zero". Musk's perceived pettiness can easily handicap spaceX. The goal to colonize Mars is noble but not profitable. Gwynne Shotwell could one day say to to his ideas

Are there estimates to how much it costs to refurb a falcon 9? It's gotta be at least 2 orders of magnitude cheaper right?

Very cool. seems like they addressed the problem of hallucination. would be interesting to see an example of it hallucinating without redundancy and corrected with redundancy

I lived in Texas (Houston). One of the weirdest things I remember in summer was the crazy 90 degree heat (at least it felt like it) late at night (like 10p)

“ hi-tech devices disguised as handheld games consoles are being traded online for thousands of pounds and are used by organised crime gangs to mimic the electronic key on an Ioniq 5” This is not referring to the flipper zero right? Doesn’t

One comment he got was apparently: “Having hired over 500 engineers personally in my career, if your resume came across my list, I would definitely pass.” Really exemplifies the generational gap! (Assuming this would be an older person and

Such shameless clickbait. Really makes me re-evaluate my relationship with this website. Working on my thumb muscle memory in safari. I think deleting safari history on ios turns off autocomplete and has made a big difference in my doomscro
