It was an interesting concept for a game, but poor execution and horrid performance have ruined it.

Have the consequences of under investing in EV tech and over-reliance on the nonsensical USAmerican economy caught up with the world’s largest car company?

I’ve never heard anything but horror stories coming out of HOAs. Why do people voluntarily enter into them?

Its about time! There’s nothing a permanent space station orbiting the moon can do, that a fleet of rotating Starship-class vehicles can’t do better.

Forcing lunar landers to rendezvous with the station before attempting a landing just wastes fuel.

Forcing a cargo ship to rendezvous with the station also wastes fuel - if a lander needs to top off its tanks before attempting a landing, why not dock it directly to the cargo ship? And then return that cargo ship to Earth to be refilled and reused again and again as a temporary supply depot.

Hopefully they’ll fully cancel the Senate Lunch System program soon too!

The tech specifically mentioned in the article and called “AI” has been around since the 1970’s. Its just a database lookup. SQL.

It seems like these municipal governments are telling on themselves for using vibe coded software for which better alternatives have been available for at least the last 50 years.

That whole instance is garbage.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, and the cons calling the Bureau of Labor Statistics useless was one example.

When a person can’t quickly find a new job, BLS just stops counting them as unemployed.

There is no amount of nice you can be that will prevent shitty people from doing enemy shit.

Being well armed is as close as you can get to having no enemies.

If you don’t mind waiting a few thousand years, you can cut the delta-v requirements in half by traveling to the edge of the solar system first and then burning retrograde at aphelion.

Or do like the Parker Solar Probe did and catch multiple gravity assists off Venus.

“You can’t just shoot a hole into the Moon.”

MISSION OBJECTIVE: Shoot a hole into the Moon.

Most rare‑earth ore occurs as a geochemical stew, so producers must grind, acid‑leach, and solvent‑wash huge volumes of rock before they bottle a kilogram of oxide. The solvents themselves are toxic; the tailings ponds can leach heavy metals; and any thorium or uranium hitch‑hikers raise radioactivity concerns.

Open‑pit mines also chew through landscapes, consume prodigious energy, and disrupt local water tables. In short, the elements may not be geologically rare, but clean, socially acceptable production sites are. That scarcity, not crustal abundance, keeps supply tight and prices volatile.

That’s an excellent point.

I don’t really know what the launch detection sensors’ capabilities are. However, there’s probably a detectably different spectrographic signature from solid fuel rockets like ICBMs versus Neutron’s methalox.

This is the natural consequence of a business that is not worker owned.

Yeah, apparently he voted for a Republican recently, making him complicit in USA’s rapid decent into fascism.

Given the ham-handedness of Indian propagandists in English-speaking social media, if their pilots are of a similar quality, then it may have just been a skill issue rather than a demonstration of the quality of the hardware.

Every article at the top of the search results, wiki included, is frustratingly short on details about his psychology and values.

Is he more like Francis or Ratzinger? Is he more like Jesus or the Pharisees?

What energy company is a natural monopoly?

edit: are you talking about utilities that produce and distribute energy, or the companies that provide fuel for them? Because a case can be made for mining operations like Exxon & etc to be subject to market competition, whereas natural monopolies like your local electric utility should be publicly owned, i.e. owned by the government, and not have ownership shares traded privately or in public markets.

Its inefficient for natural monopolies to not be owned by the government. Privatization increases cost and decreases quality of service.

Are you suggesting that the First Lady is receiving secret service?
