Why? You must be aware that US and Russia have been cooperating in space since the 1970s?
And today the US and China are far more inter-woven than US - Soviets in the cold war days.

Lets be honest, the only reason US politicians care enough about the moon is that their rival does. Its not a bad thing, a little competition. Maybe the commies will learn from that :-)

Well, that suggests you are at least as much in a bubble as he is.
Western liberalism is a bubble in itself, leaning far to the supremacy of the individual over the group, compared to other cultures.
And partisan "liberalism" in the US is a smaller bubble still. The US conservatives, for all their guns, god and flag waving, at least manage to understand the left's values better than you do theirs. You folks have to get over such bitter tribalism, or the country is screwed.

Myopic? WTF does debt-funded share market speculation in 1929 have to do with consumer debt now?
This is not a story about people buying tech stocks on Klarna, bubble or not.

BNPL services are a fast-growing behavioral trend, but not yet a large share of overall consumer debt. The loan balances are very small compared to credit card debts.
TFA is more anecdote than facts - no mention of how much money is actually borrowed for rent. But the trend of people living beyond their means is only increasing, especially as housing costs go up, and means go down.
    Maybe they are copying Washington, which has been getting away with it for decades. But they can print money.

But how rare are they really? Unique? Are you suggesting Bezos is sending Femme à la montre to there for scanning?
Perhaps the problem is the stupid copyright laws that stop people publicly digitally archiving old books. It is the words that have value, not the yellowing paper.

You, like everyone, decide good by gut feeling. Does he espouse the moral virtues that would make him part of your in-group?

A rational, utilitarian approach would recognise the value of advancing the transition to electric cars by many years for a start. Nothing in your life, no matter how many holy words you preach, can ever come close. And its not that your virtues of care and fairness are unimportant, everyone believes in that. But that your in-group refuses to even acknowledge the existence of other virtues that most of the world lives by.

I went to an Intel Technology summit about 10 years ago (different world then) and one exhibit was showing off this capability. They had development kits with their chip set and software for sale.

With just a few WiFi radios reporting in they did a pretty decent job of mapping everyone in the room. Of course it wasn't high-res enough to provide any identification details other that approximate size but I thought that was pretty impressive.

This project doesn't seem to add anything new to that other than software that can distill more detail out of the combined signals.

The Bay Bridge was not built with wrought iron. Nor was the new eastern section which we just replace.

Not having wrought iron production around anymore is not due to the decadence of the "species" and quite the opposite. It is due to advancement in technology making that material obsolete.

Confidence is inversely proportional to IQ.

Yes, SpaceX is launching every 2 days on average, and a bit more than the rest of the world put together. The low cost is what makes this possible, and not just from reusability. Quite the accomplishment.

I hope I'm not considered a hater. Love SpaceX, looking forward to Starship 14. Am fully capable of admiring Musk's achievements, while lamenting the "dark maga" thing and his half-hearted (to be generous) acknowledgement of DOGE's failures.

But what's the big deal with 38 minutes apart from two different launch sites? Couldn't they just as easily launched them 2 seconds apart?
That's hardly what Elon means by "fully and rapidly reusable".

They said they would consider pull requests.

And if they didn't, I think a greater level of transparency is worthwhile in its own right.

To be fair, by "right-winger" the gp troll means anyone who thinks far-left dogma can be questioned.

It's like when the actual far-right call Democrats "socialist". They both think the world falls into 2 extremes - them, and anyone who does not 100% agree with them.

This is a tragic story, and the schadenfreude from the right is indeed shameful.
But that doesn't mean that the story should be buried, or you get to bury your head in the sand and not see this as a warning about a far bigger problem with DEI.
  The fast-track promotion of a fantasising PE teacher to Cambridge professor is not an isolated incident. Four years after he claims to have learned to read! He was hired as evidence for a sociological theory.

  Ideology has become more important than merit, and many people are suffering.
