And surprisingly similar to the guy who minted his own coin, arranged to have someone buy one for a dollar, then claimed to be a trillionaire. It's hard to believe anyone who bought into this could have done much research first.

The Tesla connector supports 1MW. It says so right in the standard.

Just got a new starter for my tractor via FedEx. In this case, I needed it in a hurry, but not overnight. But there are other cases where parts like this are literally needed overnight or same day and not getting them on time would be a huge problem.

It is just a coincidence. The data caps do not start until next month. StarLink is constantly expanding, so speeds get faster over time in areas that are undersubscribed.

Parler is not run by fascists. It turned out the Jan 6 people used Facebook, and Parler had nothing to do with it at all. You would use a service knowing they would shut you down over totally false accusations without even giving you a chance to plead your case?

They will just go back and not say anything at all. Same for advertisers, assuming Musk is still willing to work with advertisers after this.

Parler was doing pretty well before AWS pulled the plug. Iâ(TM)m surprised they didnâ(TM)t face some kind of antitrust action over it. Actually, Iâ(TM)m surprised anyone is still willing to use AWS after that.

I run a service that sends email reminders to people who have specifically requested them. No matter what I do, and what the users do, there are some people who simply can not receive the emails (to be fair, these people are dealing with email servers set up by their it departments, not gmail or something like that). It’s amazing that the spammers can get through, though they have the benefit of being able to put whatever they want in their emails, mine have to look like they’re a standard form. Still, you’d think if I want to send them, and the users ant to receive them, there’d be a way to make it happen.

Generally speaking, if youâ(TM)re running a for-profit business, selling things is better than not selling them. SpaceX is planning to make hundreds of engines a year, but theyâ(TM)re not launching yet, so they may have some unused capacity. They could make a couple billion dollars selling these to BO and ULA. Thatâ(TM)s not chump change, and it would allow the Starship program to earn back some of the development expense before itâ(TM)s flying regularly.

Aerojet Rocketdyne had access to the RD-180 and blueprints and manufacturing information for decades, and they havenâ(TM)t been able to build an equivalent engine. So itâ(TM)s probably harder than just getting an engine to look at. Not to mention the fact that BO often hires SpaceX engineers.

They’re working on New Glenn, but it can’t fly until BE-4 is ready. They recently changed their design to stainless steel from aluminum, so they must be thinking that’ll take a while. If they were smart, they’d ask SpaceX to sell them Raptors instead.

For your headphones, of course.

The weird thing is that they were so quick to start using USB-C on their computers. Youâ(TM)d think theyâ(TM)d want to standardize their connector across their product lines.

The right to free association is not as well protected as that. Anti-discrimination laws, for example, have been upheld at the supreme court level with regard to spaces that are generally publically accessible, even if they are privately owned. If congress were to write a law requiring social media companies to allow anyone to use them for any constitutionally protected speech, there wouldn't be any constitutional barrier to that. Conversely, private individuals could argue that because the federal government is pressuring social media companies to better police free speech, their first amendment rights are being burdened without such protections.

I don't understand why news sites would expect to get money from Facebook. Don't they have their own advertisers? If anything, Facebook should charge them for sending them clicks.

Why would propaganda, swastikas, or dangerous social media challenges fall outside the realm of free speech? Even if you are only speaking about first amendment protections, all of those things would be protected.
