We nevertheless have a concept of smartness and able to judge - imperfectly and subjectively - other people on this perceived dimension. Take, for example, Elon Musk in SpaceX. Elo…

Why don't you think that those successful people - or at least some of them - are also very smart?

I think a good analysis should be done with numbers in text - or oral? - form. For this video, claiming that ~70 tons/sec needs that much more powerful pumps than Shuttle engine's …

If the companies find a new way to make their products cheaper to produce and their services cheaper to provide - will it lead to lower prices as well?

You're sure house prices are elastic here?

So you don't buy the POV the middle class is squeezed out of existence, almost?

Soviets were world leaders in liquid fuel rocket engines. They used oxygen-rich preburners in e.g very successful line of engines starting with RD-170. It was possible decades ago.…

Full-flow staged combustion is a rather logical - and not even particularly useful, we're talking about small percentage points - extension of staged flow combustion, and staged co…

ISS collects ~250 kW solar power. All of that needs eventually to be dissipated - the energy removed by communication radiowaves is small. ISS routinely handles this thermal questi…

Yes, but the point is to look for different representations, not necessarily use this specific one.

We can likely use different number representations for faster results. E.g. numbers in the form of coefficients to prime factors can be multipled at O(n) time, right?

No, that's not accurate.

Rubio recently grew in popularity a lot, so JD isn't the only option.

"Their way" - some way has to be chosen, without too many back-and-forth. In addition to technical there could be other reasons to prefer a solution. Some of those reasons can't be…

What would you do if you need to encrypt data using analog computer? Suppose you have some analog dataset, say 1000 readings between 0 and 100 V, and your sensor allows to resolve …

Can we really accelerate any probe to faster than 1% c? Or 2% c?

Can they make a city the same way Starbase city was built in Texas, or the laws are sufficiently different?

I wonder - to grow, say, 15% per month people have to pay the founder specific money for the product. Why exactly they pay that amount, and not less, say? Is it because they want f…

How much water is contained inside the datacenter at any given moment? That's how much water is taken from circulation by this datacenter. Is it enough to worry?

An argument against could refer to established practices of limiting power of executive branch in particular...

Looks like an opinion. If structural principles are legally binding, we can remember other cases from other areas.

Why this suddenly becomes urgent? For long time we had automatic emails with "thank you" which weren't written by humans, why something is different today?

I'm not sure the author understands the nature of the disagreement. A few times he put a sentence assuming it's an agreed upon fact...
