Even more significant is the timing, it's 18 launches by the end of 2027. Even before New Glenn and Vulcan broke they couldn't have scheduled a single launch before the end of 2027…

You brought up the working class as sensitive to price and now you say they aren't. That doesn't seem like a logically consistent position but maybe I'm not understanding what you …

We're talking about new cars, which in the US the average price of is $50K. The working class tends to buy used cars, of which 3 times more than new cars are sold each year.

> Perhaps the money being used to fund a superfluous vaccine should be used to fund access to PrEP in the Third World An astounding statement. Is it not possible that a vaccine giv…

Not likely. There's a saturation point where excess just gets filtered out by your kidneys.

That's the point, the grid operator does not want more solar. They have an excess of solar available during those 3 hours that would otherwise go to waste and not enough later in t…

"Free" electricity is an indication that the economics are out of balance. If the power provider isn't getting paid for those 3 hours, it means they'll need to be paid more at othe…

But they did resist locking it down, recall Musk making fun of concerns? They clearly don't take governance seriously, its whatever Musk is gravitating to in his filter bubble.

I believe that they made the "butter" out of the leftovers (paraffin) from making liquid fuel out of the coal. So, its not a straight 60:1 ratio, you'd need to add some more produc…

Is it not possible that they build the first one and things don't go smoothly and they need to make some adjustments for subsequent builds?

This is a brand new type, there's no way that equivalent operation to a decades old design with centuries of operational experience can be assumed. Presumably its been designed for…

There already is a multi $B market for the amino acid methionine, made both through a synthetic process and a fermented process. It's used to supplement animal feed. So it's possib…

I'm confused about this investment vehicle. China, their largest external trading partner, is notably absent from the list. I'm assuming they would be willing to extend Iran credit…

> And Biden ran a secret covert war using the banking system which is also questionably legal. The industry is infested with scammers, what a great idea to tie the stability of the…

The crypto "industry" had a series of multi-$B scams, seems like strong regulation would be called for. On the other hand, Trump executed a rug pulling token for himself and his wi…

I confused BlackCore with Black Cube, a different Israeli private oppo research and dirty tricks group of former intelligence agents. They gained attention for their dirty campaign…

I'm extremely unlikely to click on a YT links without some decent context of what I can expect.

Another immigration policy that would have negatively effected Trump's own wife. Oh well, she got hers. This could be a big deal for Big Tech. I wonder how personal experience of M…

Curious how the tech lobby will react. You would hope Musk and Huang might take their own personal experience into account.

I mean, I really dislike what Musk has become but SpaceX has brought about a huge leap in access to space. Last year they launched more than the rest of the world combined, includi…
