Quite the leap, eh?

It is a half decent Fermi approximation though.

All good, that was just how your comment read to me.

It’s not really fair to state that functional languages aren’t battle tested or imply they aren’t useful in real world problem solving, Erlang/Elixir prove that.

Fully agree Israel has a right to defend itself but what it seems to be doing now is more akin to invasive eradication than defense. They are on the offensive. Why does 1.2K dead in Israel justify 18K dead, hospitals targeted and destroyed, and a forced emigration of citizens in Gaza?

If a terrorist organization ruled the US I’m sure more than half the country would vote in support either out of blind nationalism or fear. Putin’s got >90% support, eh? I don’t think it’s fair to say any recent election in Gaza is unbiased. It would also seem not so unreasonable that to the people of Gaza, Hamas looks more friendly than Israel recently.

*divisive

Brilliant analysis

SWE’s don’t want to work in factories, generally, because pay is shit and hours are worse than selling your soul to bay area tech.

Even so, I’m planning to go back.

Why can’t I downvote!?

Bro stop trolling

This guy is creating new accounts every day to post his news page…last time he was /u/theanon

NASA is not part of the DOD, they report directly to the White House.

The boomerism you exude is not a good look.

When exactly is “before”? We’ve had a space program since the 50’s. You know, when we landed on the moon.

Perhaps a corporate income tax or a billionaire wealth tax should be used to pay for food for starving people. Since, you know, corporate profits and billionaires actually do nothing to help the populus.

And while we’re at it, why not universal healthcare?

Life was better before our government prioritized corporate profits over increasing the base quality of human life. SpaceX contributes to the latter by providing continued access to space and the research that goes along with it while also eliminating our dependence on Russia.

What are you arguing for as the alternative? Do nothing?-:

So are you saying you’d rather pay Boeing and Lockheed for a shittier way to access space that they don’t even have working?

Nobody is denying that NASA pays SpaceX for services.

2B to SpaceX, the most advanced rocket company on the planet fully run by Americans since they deal with DoD. Access to space is not a bad thing.

Agree people are starving. We’re a country at peace spending >700B on the military industrial complex. Try shaving that down.

You have no idea whether they’re profitable or what the sources of income are…since they’re private…

The entire company is not funded by NASA

If it was a Ponzi scheme from the get go he would have cashed out his billions by now.
