Thanks again for the advice, I certainly value your point of view. This is the last time I'll post from this account, I'll go ahead and start a new one at some point. I appreciate …

To be honest, I hadn't considered the ramifications of using the company name as part of my username. You make a good point about the potential of being mistaken for representing t…

I do work for SpaceX although I'm not in engineering or software dev. I work in the technician/skilled labor side of the house. I don't think I've posted anything specifically disc…

Not sure why your comment was downvoted but this is true, there really isn't much open space around the SpaceX property. I wish we had a campus like Raytheon or Northrop have in El…

Based on that FAA application it looks like someone will be losing their prime parking spot. In all seriousness though, I'm not sure how I feel about this monument. It's going to b…

Thanks again for the thoughtful and kind reply. Your dignified response is again a reminder of the crassness of my initial comment and the embarrassment I feel towards having made …

Thank you for taking the time to respond and for sharing your experience. Prior to this post I commented that I regretted my initial response to you as being overly dismissive of y…

Great comment and it goes aptly with your username.

I understand this wasn't directed at me but seeing as I had a similar reaction I hope I can give you some explanation of my response. Firstly however, I'd like to apologize for the…

I'm going to flatly state that while I currently live in a relatively high crime area I do not carry any weapons, firearms or otherwise, on me at any time. I do not harbor any kind…

I agree with you that on the fundamental level I don’t like the idea of rights being perpetually limited on the basis of being a convicted felon. As far as I’m concerned once a per…

I've also heard the argument that having a national registry makes the possibility of future mass confiscation much more palatable. There are probably a good deal of people who wou…

Your question may be impossible to answer since I suspect that what is "profoundly important" varies enormously between individuals but I will try anyway. Speaking for myself I bel…

They are extremely upfront about expectations. Sadly, whenever these discussions about employees leaving SpaceX come up, some commenters invariably come to the false conclusion tha…

SpaceX is the only aerospace job I've held so I can't speak from personal experience working at any competing companies but from what I hear you are right in that SpaceX tends to h…

SpaceX’s reputation for not being an easy place to work is certainly deserved but from what I’ve seen management has been making a serious effort in trying to address issues of wor…

I can imagine they are very popular in Marin and the peninsula. Surprisingly I've only seen one model X so far here in LA. I didn't realize these modern diesels still sound terribl…

Thanks for responding, you make some good points regarding the i3 looking like an electric car while the model S just looks like a normal car. The i3, along with maybe the Volt, ar…

From my understanding the final assembly of components into the finished product is still the most delicate/demanding and is still primarily performed by humans. What you say makes…

I believe Apple, unlike most companies that contract manufacturing to places like Foxconn, actually owns most, if not all, of the equipment inside the Foxconn facilities. If what I…

This will probably be an unpopular opinion but I absolutely love the look of the i3 and don't understand the widespread derision it receives. I'm a big fan of industrial design/arc…

I suspect the person you replied to was talking about the new Gigafactory that is being built, which I believe will be primarily owned and operated by Tesla, although Panasonic is …

Why? Do Apple and Google really have that adversarial a relationship? It seems like a small subset of their respective fans are the only ones that actually want a "war" between the…

Thanks for the thoughtful response. You make an especially good point about being accountable when running a "public market" that I hadn't really considered.
