They're shooting for no refurb on per mission basis and potentially to fly it the next day. Apparently the first stage is about 70% of the total $60M mission cost.

I'm growing to fear and avoid any system that treats every physical measurement as an unexplained dimensionless number, as most programming languages have for the past few decades. We can do better.

Personally, I think that Austrian economists generally undervalue empiricism. Ludwig von Mises himself wrote of his theory: ”Its statements and propositions are not derived from experience... They are not subject to verification or falsifi

I liked the article. I think it captures something real. However it dismisses out of hand without discussions any number of other theories which do in fact have at least some explanatory or predictive value--exogenous shocks (i.e. gas crisi

Aren't you assuming that the manufacturer needs to store an inventory of cars somewhere? If the manufacturer sells direct and the lead time is short enough there's little to no risk because there's little to no inventory.

Actually this is a general issue when running multiple Linux VMs under a hypervisor. In that case you don't want them filling up RAM with prefetch data from disk because that's likely to cause contention and reduce page sharing be

A book is exactly the wrong sort of example because publishers don't generally own the rights to the book, authors do. So the argument is that if I own, manufacture, and distribute a product or service that I shouldn't be able to dodge payi
