Unlikely, it originates in the US government export control laws. (Turns out rocket technology can be used for nefarious purposes...)

I watched an interview with Elon Musk last night where he was discussing his due diligence before starting SpaceX. He went to Russia to see what it would cost to buy an ICBM from them (without the nuke). They thought he was crazy but knew he was also crazy rich so the Russians took the meeting. The funny (funny scary not ha-ha) part was that, as the discussions continued, the Russians intimated that they were open to…

i think the annecdote was something like "he approached NASA and they said it was unthinkable. Then he approached the Russian agency, and they said it would be very expensive" so he started to talk with the Russians. I never heard the nuke thing, so i'd be interested if you can find as well.

here's the negotiating part: http://www.esquire.com/features/americans-2012/elon-musk-int...

""" He was ready to buy three Russian ICBMs for $21 million when the Russians told him that no, they meant $21 million for one. "They taunted him," Cantrell says. "They said, 'Oh, little boy, you don't have the money?' I said, 'Well, that's that.' I was sitting behind him on the flight back to London when he looked at me over the seat and said, 'I think we can build a rocket ourselves.'" """

We are expecting even faster growth in the coming mont…

What does living cost have to do with the value a developer produces? It doesn't make much sense to me why a developer in a low cost of living area is worth less in terms of what features they develop for the company. I say this as someone who lives in a high cost of living area, so I'd be at the higher end of your scale and this is not a self serving comment.

Hmm. What about haskell, or, going in a completely different direction, assembler?

Also, why sml over lisp?

If somebody writes it, they will figure out how to rip it apart. Bank on it.
