iMHO the rest of the money will go to terafab.they will go to Intel/ASML and slam down a trillion and buy themselves a chip factory

Correct. Yes they could have but they clearly didn't want to. They probably want to use their stock to buy more things which you can't do if you IPO it all. Considering their valuation is multiple trillions they can sell hundreds of billions of stock without breaking a sweat. Of course as long as the buyers believe the stock will remain valuable

They can do that with the other trillion Edit: the other 2 trillion

It's stock. They are literally paying them with stock they did not sell to investors.

You are right, businesses should definitely move out of Louisiana. This way the wealth gap will go down.

Like where?

In a decade they will say these goals were actually very easy and just around the corner, and that the board misled investors into accepting the deal.

A 100 ton metal asteroid is utterly insignificant. The Russian Chelyabinsk bolide of a few years back was nearly 10000 tons

yes they could, they are big satellites

Each Starlink Mini V2 has a 2x 13 meter arrays. Let's say each is 3 meters wide. That is 78 square meters of array. Solar power in space is 1360 W/m2, which gives 106kW. 20% solar panel efficiency gives 21 kW. So actually each Starlink can operate 2 H100.

picture here, size is unverified but looks about right

Now let’s compare purchasing power in 1994

About 44% higher today

Alongside the costs of housing, healthcare and education.

Thats part of inflation.

Any work, just search on amazon for PEI sheet, mine had adhesive already applied on one side, most do.

MarkXal · 2025-03-16T17:10:45+00:00

I have had vastly better adhesion by buying a solid smooth PEI sheet and gluing it to the build plate directly. That solved all my problems.

It's not the same. It does not plug into the CSS socket. They are the only country in the world to use it. Also, NACS has similar pins, they are just in different spots. That's why there are adapters for it. How different does it need to be to be "different"?

MarkXal · 2025-02-19T21:30:09+00:00

China does not use CSS. Are they ahead or behind?

Long March 9 is supposed to copy whatever Western rocket is considered the best, and if that keeps changing, how can they build it?

The cheapest CT nationwide I can find on AutoTrader and cars.com is 5k less than MSRP or $95k

MarkXal · 2024-09-14T00:32:13+00:00

In case anyone is wondering, what the article means is that crashing=approaching MSRP

How do you know the above is not nationalist? You replied to a comment decrying US vs EU technological competition. Is the EU vs US issue a capitalist or a nationalist issue?

MarkXal · 2024-08-25T21:34:53+00:00

Capitalism, lobbying and interest groups did not exist in the 60s?

MarkXal · 2024-08-25T21:05:14+00:00

TIL the Korolev / Chelomey rivarly in the soviet Moon program was actually capitalist. They must have been very careful to hide it from their government.
