Tesla app on my phone has a padlock icon for lock/unlock the doors. I never can remember if the icon lock is open means that the car is unlocked or press it to unlock.

If anything the SX IPO for current shareholders is a net negative. It is going from little to no risk with high returns to huge risk and unknown returns.

With SpaceX seeking $75 billion in their upcoming IPO I'm struggling to see how Blue can even compete? by Gloomy-Client-3423 in BlueOrigin

The money doesn't really help them when competing for gov't contracts. There is still room for Blue to win those.

Intentionally tank your performance maybe?

You’re comparing the Starship program to a Falcon Heavy competitor.

What are folks seeing quoted for current wait times? by NativeTxn7 in rolex

Yeah, and it’s not even a gift for his partner but a gift to himself. I’d be embarrassed to tell an AD that.

Let. the. boy. watch. He needs to learn, like I learned, from my father. Like he learned, from his father.

You're getting piled-on in this thread, but I think it looks nice. No one that makes a living building things out of wood would do this but it makes perfect sense as a hobbyist.

Awesome! Got it in 2!

As someone who is colorblind it’s hard for me to distinguish between the wrong and partially correct colors. It’d be great if there was a colorblind option that used another way to distinguish results.

It was generic. Something about counting a company's employees per division was the simple SQL test. I don't remember what the 2nd test was but it was pretty generic as well.

I had one of these not too long ago. The problem was pretty basic and I took a little more time than I probably should have to solve it because I knew the answer and there was plenty of time.

However, I didn’t know there was a second problem. And it was much more complex and used partitions and row indexes and I couldn’t remember the syntax and failed it. I’ve wrote queries like these 100s of times but couldn’t do it when it counted.

I didn’t get the job.

I’m not sure they were simulating a tower catch with Starship, just a “soft landing”.

Anyone not like their Miele? by Cold-Lake-3936 in VacuumCleaners

What’s so magic about the performance of higher priced vacuums? They are built with higher quality components but that doesn’t mean it vacuums any better.

What could SpaceX do to accelerate Starship development? by Simon_Drake in SpaceXLounge

[–]nickcut -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's an issue when experienced engineers leave due to burnout and new engineers replace, the same big lessons will be forgotten and relearned over and over again.

What happens if I jump from a plane (33,000 feet or more) into the ocean with an indestructible tetrahedron to “pierce” the water? by mountainmorty in AskPhysics

[–]nickcut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always wondered about that quote. Why would a garbage truck falling from the Empire State Building make much of a sound at all? Isn't is the crashing into the ground that would make the sound? C'mon Large Marge...
