In famous words of Michael Jordan, "conservatives buy sneakers too". You were saying Paramount may be worth subscribing to? Thanks for the pointer!

You know, it used to be that "where to get a cup of coffee while on the go" didn't have to be a political decision. Thanks for ruining that world by trying to push your politics into *fucking* *everything*.

Leftist lie: homeless people are coming from all over the world to CA it's such a paradise!!!

Actual, you know, real reality: 90% of California's homeless are homemade in that "paradise" of yours. So, who's the fucking liar?

Guess what, copyfail was not only found by AI, but also was introduced in 2017, that's 9 years ago, so by your logic something that allows a user to just run a python script and become root is also "unimportant slop"? After all, for 9 years "noone bothered to patch it"? And all the sysadmins who worked overtime to patch it are drooling morons, you'd have left it open if anyone ever let you administer something?

He's crashing rockets into Moon, you're shitposting hate at him on slashdot :DDDDDD

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader who's the looser here :DDDDDDD

If this is such an unimportant matter then I'll gladly accept your unconditional surrender on it and we can go on to discuss other things. Oh? No? Turns out it's only "unimportant" if we settle it your way, eh?

"Waaaah, Elon didn't do anything, he only watched"

Me: "No, he's the one responsible for go fast and break things, which is the reason for SpaceX's success"

You: "Waaaah, Elon didn't do anything, he only watched"

You know that repeating it few more times without answering my points won't make it any more true, do you? I know letting go of your copes is hard, but that's what adults are supposed to do.

And this is such a huge problem for people writing free software (note: I mean free as in freedom, not "free" as in FSF. FSF does not own the word "free", and most coders now realise that a stupidass licence like GPL that attempts to divide the world into "us" and "them", then go on an ideological crusade is about as far from free as one can get).

I mean *gasp*, someone might copy my MIT-licensed library. The horror.

Of course that *is* a problem for GPL totalitarians, as they watch people vibe-code in three evenings a free replacement for their precious viral code. But they were sliding into obscurity even before LLMs, with 20% share among open source, and declining.

Yes, that kind of is the point I'm making, "it's the management (congress vs Elon) that made the difference, not the engineers", isn't it?

LOL, just love the cope you leftists are running, "SpaceX's success comes from its great engineers, not from Elon" :DDDDDD

Well, guess what, NASA also has great engineers, and there, those great engineers built the abysmal failure that is SLS. You know, the rocket that a *single launch* of costs as much as the *entire development* program of Starship so far, all 13 test launches included, *AND* the building of Starbase from ground up too.

No, SpaceX's success is not about "great engineers" because NASA, ESA, BO, and all the other failures also have them, it's about three things:

1. move fast and break things (this is where NASA fails, they do not even attempt that. NASA has never ever flown a single test flight in its history, all they have flown is demonstration flights. Let me tell you, a test is a "we expect this thing to RUD, we want to see how, and success is defined as did we get enough telemetry to see what failed", not a "we expect this thing to operate flawlessly, anything less is a failure")

2. The above not being just a motivational slogan, but, you know, things *will* *really* *in fact* *actually* break and you have to accept it as a part of the process, not a reason to scrap it as a failure (this is why DOGE failed, you know, all those "fails" that you are wanking off to to this day, where they had to rehire people they just fired, which really in fact are just the "things really in fact do actually break" part of the "if 20% of the decisions you make aren't catastrophic failures, you're not moving fast enough" philosophy)

3. No, Mr. "Great Engineer", you will not use titanium alloyed with diamonds and fairy dust here, despite the fact that it is the best material for the job, you will use standard steel, which performs worse but still adequately well, and in addition can be bought for 3 cents a metric crapload at any local foundry. Because, the ultimate barrier to the amount of stuff we can put in orbit isn't ISP, TWR, isn't rocket equation, it's money, and the other things are just obstacles you have to overcome on a budget. And we can use the money saved on fairy dust to upscale the entire rocket a bit so it can deal with the added weight of the steel, AND still have enough left on top to make it 5x cheaper than competitors. Meanwhile the Great Engineers at NASA live breathe and shit fairy dust.

And sorry to burst your bubble but those are the things that make SpaceX different than other rocket shops, and they all come from Elon, not those "Great Engineers".

Yus, definitely on the spectrum. No, really, please do google up "metaphor", probably Wiki has a decent article on it, and read it. I really will allow you to function better, and understand people without having to get your panties in a twist.

Yes, metaphors like antropomorphisations is how normal humans communicate. And let me tell you: raging against them isn't the intelligence flex you think it is, it just outs you as being pretty deep on the spectrum.

LOL, what? You do realise that the whole development process of Starship so far, *including building of Starbase*, and all the test flights, still has cost about as much as a single *launch* of SLS, nevermind SLS development, which cost an order of magnitude more still, *despite* the fact that Starship was designed from grounds up, while SLS is basically old Shuttle hardware restacked together in a new configuration?

OK, so either the entire linux kernel team is a bunch of utter morons who can't run a "simple gcc -fanalyzer" on their code, or YOU are full of shit. Hmmmm, I wonder which one of the two options is true.

Explain to me: how exactly is this the fault of taxi company, not of the person who got stoned and passed out? And if he passed out on a pavement somewhere it'd be the fault of owner of the pavement? Yes, there is externalisation of costs going on, but it's drunkards externalising the costs of their addiction (which somehow is perfectly acceptable by the leftists), not taxi company.

And calculator use correlates with worse arithmetic skills, therefore you should always only get accountants who do all their numbers by hand.
