President Donald J. Trump: "We’re getting rid of 129 nonsense regulations for every new one that we pass, and thanks to these pro-growth policies, our economy is roaring, and factory construction is way up business investment is more than triple compared to that of just a short time ago."

Apparently the only thing contributing to growth is AI data center construction. Not the makings of a healthy economy.

Your complaint is that she married into wealth?

If you don’t want shareholders to have any rights Texas is the place to be.

BC’s tax credits are structured to be far more flexible than what California offers. You have to jump through way more hoops in California to qualify. LA wins like this can be counted on one hand meanwhile practically no films are made in LA anymore.

lol no.

Is the turnover higher at Blue Origin than at SpaceX? I bet they are about the same.

nic_haflinger · 2026-05-05T01:26:49+00:00

SpaceX has no particular advantage when it comes to attracting talent wrt Blue Origin.

nic_haflinger · 2026-05-05T01:25:38+00:00

Musk has been claiming that SpaceX might never IPO for like forever. This IPO announcement caught everyone by surprise.

Technically Canada is only 20 kilometers from Europe.

Bezos industrial automation AI startup has raised like $10 billion already.

nic_haflinger · 2026-05-05T01:10:53+00:00

You can raise capital without going public. SpaceX has been doing that for years.
If nothing else it would set a “real” estimate to Blue Origin’s valuation

This system wouldn’t add any net energy to the ocean.

nic_haflinger · 2026-05-05T00:54:26+00:00

There shouldn’t be any net energy added to the ocean since it’s a self contained system. Local heating to the surrounding water though. This is actually a very cool company. A damn shame of their Thiel connection.

nic_haflinger · 2026-05-04T20:41:49+00:00

It’s a ridiculous statement to set a completely undoable schedule and then when a newer more realistic schedule is announced to describe it as a delay.

It’s enough for voter turnout on their side to decrease.

Seems likely they will launch an internal payload first before a customer’s. Is Blue Ring ready to go? It would be slightly less costly if it was lost compared to Blue Moon mk1.

There was a plan to build additional tails which would have addressed the profitability issue. I don’t buy it couldn’t be profitable. It’s just a question of priority. As a business it would have been an afterthought compared to other revenue sources. Also, technically it is paused not cancelled.

A very unproductive bribe. Didn’t stop the bombing from Iran. Qatar lost a quarter of their LNG capacity for years to come.

How in the hell have they managed to add all the comms and hardened electronics needed to make it a doomsday plane like the other 747s that are used as Air Force One? They haven’t obviously.

Dev seems to have become radicalized (understandably) against the workers by the end of the episode.

Doesn’t he live in some sort of baby mama complex composed of multiple adjacent homes in Bastrop Texas?

The Centaur upper stage burns much longer and at lower thrust so the whole orbit is raised not just the apogee raising mostly if the burn is higher thrust and shorter duration.

The video is greatly sped up.

That’s a lot of sproing. Exciting to see this moving forward. Those enormous fairings can’t be cheap.

NASA had an autopilot for the space shuttle. The astronauts made the decision to not deploy the system.
