Gemini (free) throws errors for me too. EDIT: it was just 3.6 Flash, 3.1 Pro works it seems.

I am super bearish on Tesla but I still would take the side of "not going under" of that bet. The factories have value, and once the brand is de-Musk'd, it can have value too. So most likely scenario is being bought out…
> Less than 1 in 4 Americans voted for Trump Yea and it seems the 75% of population cannot do anything about Trump now. I wonder when people will wake up to the fact that USA does not actually have a democracy.
Maybe it is not exactly culture-specific, but most of your post definitely sounds to me like "walking on eggshells" stavros mentioned. Tbh I agree that your citation of Linus' email was an example of not exactly…
I have not seen anyone else claim that Ukraine is not an European country. As for chance / motive to invade other European countries - for some reason Baltic states feel very threatened by Russia. Try to understand…
Isn't the point of OP of this thread that most of those wart-fixes are pointless? I tend to agree, if you can't sell it as a ticket you probably shouldn't work on it. And "boyscout" PRs are pain to review.
Thanks for writing this. Simple upvote is not enough, this was really great reminder how to navigate these messy topics.
Shuttle was heavy rocket. Decent in quite a few metrics. Also the arguments about not having heavy rockets has nothing to do with engines, it's either "we don't need them" or "just use propellant depots". Without…
Wanting F-1 capable engine is like wanting exact recreation of combat performance of F-4. No one involved has cared about that for more than 40 years. Just people who don't understand the tradeoffs so they judge stuff…
You are on forum about VC-funded startups. You can get 50M if you really want and what you're saying is true
Public restrooms in Czechia often can take cards now. I imagine it works similarly in Sweden.

Czechia did not have demographic collapse, and actually got fair bit of immigration from other Slavic countries, mainly Slovakia & Ukraine (pre-war, post we got even more obviously).

Well sure, I like Europe employment more too. But SpaceX is not operating in Europe, and this is probably not the opportunity to change the entire system?

Such a ridiculous comment > The average death count from two planes having an accident is like 600 Do you realize, that your "average" death count has literally never happened in aircraft accidents?
I don't think it's reaction to apologizing, but to "yea we really had no plan whatsoever" which became clear with the tweet. Alternative (being clueless AND unrepentant) would receive even worse reaction. Now people…

Problem is, they taught only citizen kids to be fighters (skipping over what did they actually teach). When 80%+ of your society is not-citizens, then this has little relation to what the society is actually focused on.
