Sounds to me like either NASA gets a good deal for bulk or long term contracts, and sold off what they didn't need at "full cost," which would seem to be a wash.

The market (I'd assume they mean the immediate "spot") price can be expected to be higher because there's no contractual commitment, and the volume is less.

I don't see any problem - the gov't didn't subsidize anyone, and Google found a cost-saving source for jet fuel. It's not clear what the submitter thinks would be fair, but it seems that they think the gov't should be in the market to make a profie or the fuel companies should make even more profit?

So, my personal belief that something is untrue without regard to evidence for or against is not unscientific, but expecting data is dogmatic and therefore for religions? Okay, then...

Do I need a NOTAM to throw a frisbee, or fly a kite? And what magically happens to turn a 5 foot wide foam glider from an unregulated toy into a regulated "aircraft" because it was used commercially. Did it suddenly become more dangerous because the footage was going to be sold commercially, and if so... how did it know?/I

Because money, so you don't have any right to self-determination or a making a living.

More actively than Ray Kurzweil, Director of Engineering at Google in charge of machine intelligence? Very few people in the world are more active in AI-related fields than he is.

Kurzweil is Lex Luthor.

They've even invented protocols for sharing information between themselves.

Still near the pump house? Is Pannikin still open?

Or Keyser Sose?

As long as questioning the settled science remains "Here's some interesting data that doesn't seem to fit the models. What do you make of this?" and not "The models violate my personal view of the universe and must be untrue." you are absolutely right.

All a smith needs is coal, steel or iron, wind, and water. The only tool he would have a hard time building himself would be the anvil, those are usually cast. The forge isn't all that hard to construct (maybe the fan or bellows) and all the other tools are trivial to make.

The only real cost is steel and fuel unless you have your own mine.

I took a blacksmithing workshop in college and one of the things the 74 year old instructor stressed most was that a blacksmith who doesn't make his own tools isn't much of a blacksmith. He taught us how to make all sorts of tools.

Who makes hammers and tongs? The blacksmith. Who writes compilers? Programmers. Maybe I'm getting old but a programmer who can't write a compiler or interpreter isn't much of a programmer (I wrote an interpreter once, years ago).

That's utterly different from selective enforcement.

I use to be a Sr. Network Engineer in 2000 for Amazon. I could only drink the Kool-Aid for about a year. Then went on to work with smaller companies and burned out on that. Worked almost 2 years installing DirecTV, I was 2 stone lighter on that job. Then ran around as a service tech fixing strip mall stores and big box stores... go tired of all the driving.

Now, at 53, I'm working for a medium size aerospace firm and learning MS. We got bought out by the French and will be switching to Zodiac and having to renumber the whole shop. I'm getting paid half of what I got at Amazon, but much better healthcare. I have a very short commute and love the people that I work with. My job title is SysAdmin, but really it's network engineering, facilities, plumbing, help desk, electrician, cable monkey, and AV club. I love the verity and am very happy.

Look for a smaller place where all the little things you've learned over the years come in handy.
