Mint as an MVNO never worked independently in applying pricing pressure. It was always beholden to the minimum cost of one of the big 3.

New MVNOs will launch, others will fail. The only thing I've learned from this is to try and invest in anything Ryan Reynolds is selling.

I believe a side effect of the way the legislation was written included that if they weren't neutral, then they couldn't do business with the State of California either or anything the state runs, like pension plans.

How much can you make doing business with or in CA vs. grifting the rest of the nation and bad press? It's very risky move. CA won and Verizon et all blinked.

Because California saved it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Internet_Consumer_P...

If any of the companies that wanted to exploit the lack of FCC enforced net neutrality did business with California they would have had a big problem.

Back in march Google approached Meta to try and push XR in a very one-sided arrangement. https://www.roadtovr.com/meta-google-android-xr-quest-reject...

The timing of this is probably just a manifestation of the f-you back to google from Zuck and Boz.

Here comes Elon with another hold my beer moment. Thank god he already wasted billions on Twitter.

Bletchley Park would like a word.

It's awfully hard for 3 people to keep a secret when that much money could be on the line.

I think that all depends on if someone finds 500ms of extra latency they can't explain.

Certificate pinning and validation in apps for one. Onavo's VPN was really clear it collected market research data. It was as informed consent as a click-through could be.

They grow just fine at outside my house, but I like the monstera fruit better.

Many states (15) have a duty to retreat, not everywhere is a stand your ground state (35 states). It's complicated, but most of the time in your home there is an exception.

So one of the big things this will do is encourage mass transit from the eastern new york / Manhattan river crossings. It has never been (and will continue to not be) a level playing field for commuters. Coming in from Brooklyn or Queens there are a lot of commuters that drive into lower Manhattan which until now was entirely un-tolled. This, combined with the rebate for people taking the existing tolled entrances will be a first step in equity.

Lots of internal tools used it when I was there, but that was years ago. https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift

That is because of the difference in mass over the voyage, the less delta in your fuel math the less of a problem it is. Also, nothing prevents you from doing exactly this with a smaller amount of fuel. Last I checked dense liquids continue to be dense liquids and will flow to the lowest point.

You don't need to compare to the size of the ship, you need to compare to the size / mass / cost of the sails.

3.3 tons of fuel per day adds up to a lot of extra cargo that isn't fuel.

This explains some trends where posts are being edited on Reddit with nonsense then deleted. Personally, I think this kind of behavior makes the web poorer as a knowledge base. Yes you have a right to do it with your own content, but doing it at scale makes the internet a less useful tool and it makes me a bit sad since the scrapers will already have the data anyway.

That was also with a rush order on it due to the Shuttle's retirement.

In my view, since I was the one that said it, anything more than 5 years away is perpetually 5 years away until it's been proven. Yes, eventually when Starship has enough launches and a track record it will get human rated by NASA to carry astronauts. This is the only actual certification for human space flight worth paying attention to right now. It's possible to get on a rocket otherwise, but the US government isn't going to pay for the ride. Getting flight certified by NASA is expensive and requires a level of experience with the vehicle that doesn't make sense for at least 5 years given we have a cheap and safe ride to LEO via Falcon / Dragon. Nobody is going to rush human flight on Starship, it's only going to have people on it once it's already in space.

Yes, landing on the Moon without an atmosphere is vastly different from orbital flight on earth and has an entirely different risk profile.

Being able to produce a credit card number and transaction has nothing to do with a user's age or the stated goal of the law, protecting minors.

Passenger rating isn't even in the cards for Starship for a long time. You ride to LEO on a Falcon-9 with a proven track record for the foreseeable future.

On a large scale a 5% average return is very conservative. No interest rates won't stay where they are, but no one would invest an endowment just by putting it a HYSA.

Isn't that exactly what Mark Cuban is doing with Cost Plus Drugs Company?

It looks a lot like twitter, but seems worse.

You just dig a trench and fill it with seawater, then float it over. The train just needs to go next to it to pull the boat.

Level 2 Tesla destination chargers are everywhere in SV and you can use them with with any J1772 car using a simple adapter.

There are now also adapters for fast charging Tesla connectors to CCS1, but that is relatively recent.

People have to have the innovative ideas and skill to make them happen, and others need to know them to fund the venture.

Thanks, not having an iOS device or Mac I didn't check that far into their site. I'm not willing to invest into that ecosystem until Apple allows some freedom.

Since it supports iOS and iPadOS, does it use a fork of WebKit, or is it embedded Safari? What manifest API is it going to support going forward?
