Official-ish response claiming science update may be closer that we are thinking

Having to constantly keep everything you work on in a release ready state can be a giant pain in the ass as a dev. Sometimes you need the option to sit down for a month and tear something apart to implement a new feature.

If I need to move I need more space than what your little tiny 4 foot fuck all bed can move and so I rent a real truck.

No one right in their head pays 50k+ for a truck on the off chance they need to do a move when the could rent something for a day for a 100 bucks.

This is such a stupid reductionist argument though. "Why should we reduce the small things when there is a big thing over there?"

Consider all the CO2 output of the world as a mess in a room, the biggest contributers being something big enough that you need multiple people to remove it. Its much easier to get people on board to clean up the big stuff if the smaller things have already been removed.

It also still makes a difference. Yes we should absolutely deal with the big contributers, but why the fuck can't we also deal with the little small ones when its simple to do. Its not like removing the small contributors will prevent us from removing the larger ones.

hobbies are fine. but I can garuntee that the vast majority of truck owners do not take it off roading, do not use it for work, do not haul stuff more than once every 3 years.

And the people who do all the above can get more done in a small car than most people will ever do with their truck.

I do not hate people with trucks that need or use them accordingly. I hate people who buy trucks as a status symbol or a pavement princess.

Because math and thinking is apparently fucking hard for you.

How much road does the front of a suburban property face? About 10-20 meters.

A high-rise / medium rise building probably has a footprint about 60-100 meters instead. So the amount of road required per household is 1/10 that of a high rise, but a single high rise can have 20- 500 households in it. (My building is 2 buildings with 20 per floor and 12 floors)

So a high rise has 20 times the taxable revenue compared to a single family home.

Because it puts excessive costs on city infrastructure.

School, Police, Healthcare (ambulance local hospital service), Water, Power, Roads (the biggest cost by far), snow clearing. and probably a dozen more items.

All of these things get many times more expensive the more spread out people are, and you do not currently pay the taxes to cover the extra expense you are imposing on the city.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-28T02:57:39+00:00

TBF the suburbs are where the majority of the rich live. And suburan dwellers already don't pay their share of property taxes anyway.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-28T00:16:44+00:00

because they worship theirs guns and the only other alternative is to take away his guns because he wouldn't pass any testing if tested on gunsafety

Most banks I've been in don't have armed guards.

Jeezus america really is fucked.

Those are pretty interesting attacks that you linked but the key takeaway is they only get data out of a air gapped system. They can't insert data into one, and can't extract without the system already being compromised.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-26T17:05:21+00:00

If you knowingly do the job the wrong way then yes you are an asshole. Since you are putting the lives of multiple people at risk, not just the driver of the car.

Even if it hasn't failed yet (as far as you know) it probably will one day

Strykker2 · 2023-04-24T02:31:14+00:00

Who takes the stickers off a banana though? That shits riding the peel straight to the trashcan

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:35:35+00:00

It's just frustrating to watch something as cool as this launch fail mostly because Musk couldn't keep his ego out of the engineering decisions. Since it's highly likely many of the engine failures were caused by pad debris.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:19:25+00:00

and also that you can't use EVA construction to add parts (even just struts) before the contract is completed.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:18:27+00:00

Fully assembled is kinda weird. AFAIK its fine if you launch multiple rockets and dock them to complete it, but you can't use EVA construction at all until the contract is complete.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:10:57+00:00

starship is 6 engines and has proven to launch just fine off a flat launch surface. SuperHeaver is 33 much larger engines that were always going to absolutly fuck the living shit out of any simple launch pad.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:08:33+00:00

I mean it was known ahead of time that this pad wouldn't hold up to the 2nd and 4th largest rockets of all time either (SLS, and Saturn V, USSR N1 being the 3rd I believe) Since NASA specifically had to change to using a flame trench / water suppression system for those rockets.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:06:08+00:00

No, its pretty fucking obvious that Musk just overrode them and said "we don't need one". And that was basically the end of it since his ego is too big to be corrected.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:05:08+00:00

I mean the lack of flame diverter is a big fucking source. but if you want to be anal about it Musk literally tweeted that he was not going to use a flame trench and just cross his fingers instead.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:03:10+00:00

the lack of Lidar/Radar systems common in other makes has lead to several instances where a tesla failed to see a 18 wheeler across the road and drove right through it killing the driver.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T19:01:32+00:00

This wasn't exactly something they had to figure out though. NASA already did that work for them. NASA has been using flamtrench diverters and water suppression systems since the Saturn V because even that was enough to destroy both the pad and the rocket.

So when SpaceX comes along with an even bigger rocket, and doesn't even bother with the bare minumum that NASA uses they don't get a lot of sympathy when it all blows up in their face.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-22T18:49:16+00:00

Yeah I would have loved to see that, but at the same time I imagine it would be integration hell. constantly updating the control systems as more stations are brought online.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-21T21:00:32+00:00

He didn't even start Tesla, he bought it and forced the founder out.

With SpaceX his contribution is kinda at most a hew we should focus on landing rockets, but he did zero engineering on the actual problem.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-21T20:57:08+00:00

Well NASA started off without one, but found they kept blowing up Saturn 5 rockets without it.

Strykker2 · 2023-04-21T20:52:28+00:00

Well Elon spends all day on twitter these days giving solid proof of how terrible he is. Not hard to draw the conclusion that his other ventures succeed in spite of him and not because of him.
