How can you say that? People have consistently said not to take Trump seriously. But he does seem serious about imposing tariffs, abandoning allies, annexing random parts of the world, and about drastically cutting the government. Why shoul

America has a weird stance on this. They have consistently opposed European efforts to develop independent military tech - see what they did to British nuclear and missile programs, and how they have fought against the French desire to main

I mean, my 9 year old Clio drives fine with pretty basic software. Whereas when I see a Tesla on the road I try not to get too close out of fear it will do something random and dangerous.

SpaceX is not insanely profitable. Starlink might become so, but it isn't yet.

Are they behind? China has a space station and they have done a sample return from the Moon. They've landed on Mars as well. If you stick to a narrow definition of rockets, there's a case to put SpaceX ahead. But overall, they are

Flight controllers execute the mission, but they also rely on the engineers who built the things and wrote the procedures. Flight controllers often are young, even today and even in control centres outside SpaceX. The engineers designing an

I know a few people working at SpaceX. Most are good. But a few I wonder how they ever got hired there. As a customer of SpaceX, though, I have to say their customer service is barebones. It is almost a relief when I work with another launc

That's the really sad part, that Americans saw what he did and decided they actually don't care about the Republic or their democracy.

Americans voted for this and I find it very hard to believe they didn't know what they were voting for. So that's on them. Personally, I am working on replacing any American made products or services I use myself or through my job

The big question every one seems to be ignoring is whether air travel in the US should now be considered dangerous. If ATC is understaffed or filled with unqualified people, then how is any flight safe? Why would anyone get on a plane unles

There's four more years of this. I no longer think there's a happy ending here, and we're way past the point of being merely concerning.

Hmm, I'm not a coder. In my field you do need some specialised knowledge you generally get through experience. And then you have the soft skills, like being able to work in a team, being able to run projects, understanding business nee

I think it is in a way, since postdocs are often bad preparation for industry. Postdocs usually learn skills that are useful in academia, not the skills that are useful in industry. And the knowledge they focus on is often hyperspecialised,

It seems like that could apply to many other ways of messaging though, not all of them online. I'm not sure the "new" bit is really correct. Perhaps the potential scale or reach of a message is what matters.
