True. Apollo suffered huge costs because of the deadline, forcing development costs more. The NASA equation - good, fast, cheap. Any 2 of the three.
SpaceX is doing very well indeed, and so far as I can tell making no excuses. Don't need to. They are kicking it, and NASA is trying to stay relevant in the launch business.

With a little luck Starlink will satisfy the broadband access mandates the rest of the ISP business has taken money for and not delivered for *decades*.
Of course people hate Elon. He's successful. They don't envy him, they resent his success, while they languish in sub-mediocrity and blame all else for their malaise.
Pus.

Are they? Can you point to specific law or rule that says that? As far as I can tell it's only ever been an excuse or optics. Note this isn't a bad thing. Selective screening is far more effective than random screening which is why most countries don't even pretend they are doing the latter.

Well their product evidently works very well, so well that it's enabling jerks to be a whole new level of jerk.

Yes, the Raptor 3 is turning out to be a challenge. They're making progress on it, and it's important that they do, because those engines are key to the performance and economics of everything SpaceX. But they now have a long record of solving such problems.

Maybe not. We're well and truly in the age of agents generating prompts for AI generating prompts for other AI. The hallucination could very much have happened at the top, it could also have been an automated action.
I have an AI agent that runs periodically doing automated crap at work, and every so often it generates absolutely baffling rubbish outputs. If this is feeding another AI input it could very well have been doing exactly what was asked of it, even if not asked by a human.

You never did own anything, you just thought you did, and breached the license terms because no one could stop you.
You've never owned a game. Not in the 90s, not now. But back then the tech wasn't available to control you or force you to obey the license terms you agreed to.

Well technically none of the EU related benefits have really been seen outside the EU. Tech companies do geofence compliance. That is both good and bad. On the one side you don't really benefit from e.g. changes in App store rules in the USA without winning an American court case, but on the other at least you're not getting cookie popups.

Unfortunately if you invoke your right to remain silent during a border inspection you will likely be denied entry.
You can't be denied entry if you're a citizen or if you're a permanent resident (i.e. green card.) They can detain you for a brief period, but unless they charge you with something they can't arrest you. Either way, you won't be turned away.

No. Toggles for default plug and play capability should not be disabled. I will buy that there should be a popup asking if the software be installed, but defaulting useful features for general consumers to "off" is just toxic towards users.

Thankyou for your thoughtful counter to my post. I'm sure you dedicated all your braincells to that post. I understand logic and an understanding of how Windows works is foreign to you. Maybe if you educate yourself you'll understand what is "wrong" with people who know what they are talking about.
