I generally agree with you, but I dont think the OP works at SpaceX, they are just a fanboi dissing on anything else - and they are the target of my comment.

A few things to note...

Over the past couple of decades, more and more roles within the British healthcare system have become able to prescribe - pharmacists (as noted in the summary), nurse prescribers, physicians associates (who technically should be under the supervision of a GP, but the way the NHS has that set up its very much a "PA prescribes, GP actually has little say")...

The role of doctors in the British healthcare system is being deminished and replaced by lower paid, lower trained positions, and GPs are particularly hard hit by it - which is why GPs are retiring or moving overseas at record rates, far beyond the ability for the current GP training schemes to replace them.

The UK is actively doctor hostile these days, and British doctors do not want to be part of it any more.

If nothing else they should not be allowed to call themselves a bank, including not a "trust" bank. Stick with crypto exchange or hascode pawnshop or whatever but not bank.

That's insane! Sign me up and ship me out.

Really? You think at this point SpaceX is just going to throw up its hands and say "never mind" on Starship? I'm trying to imagine why they would do that.

I think you're right. If he thought he knew anything - in either direction - he'd be all in. Instead he's just throwing his hands up.

"If you arent doing things on the same timescale and using the same approach as the company I wank over, then you shouldn't even bother".

Thats your post summed up in one sentence.

My only guess is drugs.

If you want to know these things have you looked for the answer?

It's Toyota. They are known. They employ over 63,000 Americans already. They are good jobs. This announcement marks the start of producing batteries - not some hazy "agreement" about the future if this and if that and if the other. It's a done deal and it's a good thing.

Sounds easy, but Musk has been there, Jobs has been there, Gates has been there...

Wow, wasnt aware of that!

VS For Mac was nothing more than a rebrand of Xamarin MonoDevelop, a third party IDE - it never had anything in common with actual VS.

Not sure because these chips cost so much to operate in energy costs. If enough efficiency gains are made it would be cheaper to buy and run new ones than to run old ones to do the same tasks. When data center companies start building their own nuclear power plants you know there is a LOT of money to be saved by increasing efficiency.

By the same token, I was reading for years how China's construction market was the biggest bubble in history and was going to pop so hard the nation would be an economic black hole. Is that still going to happen or what?

Over the years I have used as my main development machine:

* 2011 17" Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM
* 2016 iMac with 8 cores and 32GB RAM (with 2 additional 4K screens)
* M3 Max 14" Macbook Pro with 36GB RAM (and an additional 4K screen)
* M4 Max 16" Macbook Pro with 48GB RAM (and an Apple Studio screen)

I havent really ever run into a resource issue - I had to retire the iMac just last month because the screen was ghosting, but it was still perfectly usable for development purposes right up to that point (ie I never get frustrated with it in terms of performance). The M4 Max MBP tho is worlds ahead of it in performance, so I dont regret upgrading - I just didn't upgrade for performance reasons).
