Little Andy we call him.

I'm 100% certain that SpaceX is happy for more outside work that actually pays them instead of changing numbers internally.

So, send some random noise to somebody you don't like and claim that it's encrypted with some foreign algorithm?

For most Finns (bar the self-employed, business owners, and the very rich) filing taxes is like 15 minutes per year when you want to add some deductions the tax man wouldn't alread…

Not sure how to read this, but have you heard of the Mariana Trench?

Yeapp, that kettle got Hackernewsed SO badly!

Eh, I'll buy it from a discount sale in two to four years if they've fixed all the bugs. Don't do this, though, I need you to buy it fresh so that new games continue to be made.

Yeah, that's messed up. Instead one should take the amount that the manager manages to improve over the baseline. Which might be impossible to measure.

Bloody Hell, that was the best thing since the Falcon Heavy! Amazing, flying wheat silo!

Fast iteration. Not aware of anyone else doing that with 50m tall 9m wide rockets.

EU, so it's easier.

I find that those companies that add issues and support requests _ought_ to have the decency to also donate to him. But, I guess, companies don't have any decency to donate unreque…

When the glass is at 50% capacity, one is making an observation of the state of affairs. When one says that it is "half full" or "half empty" one is already making it into a statem…

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is not a fact, it's an opinion. The glass being, say, 45.67% from full capacity is a fact. The glass being emptied right now at 55 mill…

That's the case for Earth. This would be on Luna, with about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth.

This article is rather misleading, for most people it evokes the idea of net positive nuclear fusion, which of course is not the case here. Also, a damn neat home project!

Assuming you can keep your customer queue sufficient at all times, and that your clients can come when you are open. Most likely this means a location that already has a high throu…

Elonville, Musktown?

Not very Kerbal, good job and goodspeed!

You don’t get a tax refund, but your taxable income is reduced by the expense amount, so you you’re still paying for the 100% - (your marginal tax rate)% of the items, and hence pa…

You've newer brewed your own beer, cider, wine or sugar wine, have you?

I was going to say that it would be a star, but apparently (making an assumption about the mass of the saturn-sized bathtub full of water here) it would still be orders of magnitud…

And yet, doing that as a company is only good business. (Like developing really similar apps to two different clients.)

Sounds like a self-made problem with nimbys and inefficient planning for new housing.

With Elon Musk it's blasted hard to say when he's exaggerating and when just discussing his honest plans...
