Blue origin lost their first stage of new Glenn when it failed to land on the barge they had for it during a recent launch. And SpaceX lost the second stage of their starship when it broke apart also during a recent launch.

The joke is that you could take the second stage of new Glenn and put it on the first stage of starship. It ignores the fact though that the second stage of new Glenn is expendable and will not be returning to the surface of Earth in one piece.

No, it’s still profit. It’s profit that’s reinvested into growing the business. Profit is revenue - operating costs. Scaling is not an operating cost, it’s an investment.

They’re probably not too worried about it given the circumstances.

I mean it says it represents percent increase year over year. What’s confusing about that?

Loofah is a vegetable and it’s pretty good. It’s also processed to make the shower sponges we all know and love: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luffa

You would have sold the Bitcoin long before it was as valuable as it is today like almost everyone that’s had Bitcoin over the years.

Machine learning is AI. I think the term you’re looking for is general artificial intelligence, and no one is claiming LLMs fall under that label.

Yes, my comment was about Kyle Gass.

He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate Trump, but as a public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.

The thing is, if he had access to his hard drive at any point in the last 10 years or so he would have sold his Bitcoin long before it was this valuable, like many, many other people who used to own Bitcoin and aren’t currently millionaires. The fact that he lost his hard drive is the only reason it’s actually worth anything.

Why? They’re providing a service with that contract. NASA isn’t capable or doesn’t want to do everything in house. If they deem it beneficial to outsource some projects to contractors then what’s wrong with that?

Absolutely if private entities want to go to space they should be able to. What grounds would you block them on? This is not a substitution or replacement of public space agencies

I’ve driven through Oregon before back when you weren’t allowed to pump your own gas and it felt ridiculous and inconvenient waiting for an employee to come pump gas for you. But maybe that’s just because I’m accustomed to self serve.

For groceries it’s nice to have the option to do self checkout. If I have a small number of items then self checkout is faster/easier. If I have a large number of items then going through the line with the cashier is faster/easier.

Do you feel the same about self serve gas?
