Musk states in the linked post: "As mentioned in prior posts, once fully operational (demo system rides will be free), the system will always give priority to pods for pedestrians & cyclists for less than the cost of a bus ticket." Which probably means a couple dollars.
Just because you can be an asshole doesn't mean you should be. I'm pro-abortion, but I'm against bringing politics and religion into software development. Making fun of people's stupid political and religious beliefs in software documentation can only lead to a cesspool of toxic arguments and the needless loss of developers and consequent reduction in quality of the project. Not to mention a needlessly miserable time for all involved in the ensuing flame war.
Why should China's government penalize their companies who trade with Iran, which is a friendly nation and major trading partner? Or North Korea for that matter? Trading with your friends isn't a blind eye, it's two open eyes.
Developers have clients who aren't developers. I don't use Windows, but I'm happy about this change because occasionally I've had clients who wanted to edit one of my files in Notepad and would find it looking broken to them because of lack of line break parsing.
99% of Ubuntu users couldn't care less what languages the installer is written in, as long as it works. If HTML is easier for them to develop in, I for one don't really care. It's just an installer, it's not like rewriting KDE in HTML.
If Microsoft were smart, they'd make it free. And then in 5 years once it's established and everyone uses it, bait and switch by demanding as much money as they want. They have zero leverage right now.
So this 95% offer is competing not with Android/iOS but with a tradition where (on Windows and every other desktop OS) developers have always been able to keep 100%. Not hard to see why developers aren't jumping at the opportunity.
Google should be content neutral about their search results. But not about their ads. We should urge companies to be a lot more selective about their ads, instead of serving up whatever malware and scams advertisers input.
The odds of the electorate being sufficiently informed about a judge to make a decision are about one in a million. Allowing the public to vote them out of office simply means that judges can't afford to piss off the special interests who organize 1000 angry people to vote them out while the other million have no opinion because they've never heard of the judge. The way to remove a corrupt judge should be either a panel of experts or another judge.
There was no reason for this concern before as SpaceX only recently started the late propellant load. Of course, there is a very simple solution for it -- launch the old way. Which was SpaceX's stated plan at the time they switched to supercooled -- they planned to do supercooled most of the time but to not use it with astronauts. Apparently that plan has changed as they've gained more experience.
It's a little hard to compute a failure rate for Falcon 9. Officially it's around 4% (two failures in 54 launches). But that doesn't count the vehicle that blew up on the launch pad in 2016 during static testing.
This is incorrect. CRS-7 was the only Falcon 9 mission to explode, unless you count the static fire test. CRS-1 was not a full success because it delivered a secondary payload to too low of an orbit, but it did take Dragon to the ISS without incident and that isn't the kind of failure that would endanger humans.
We only ever lost two space shuttles. The number or rockets SpaceX has lost is....a lot.
The number of Falcon 9s lost is also two, and one of those was lost in a static fire test that would never have had people on board. Not sure what universe you're living in.
Of course, the Columbia disaster wasn't an exploding rocket either. That disaster would have to be compared with a Dragon heat shield failure, which hasn't happened yet.
The shuttle boosters did have a better non-explosion rate than SpaceX, 134/135 compared to SpaceX's 52 out of 53 or 54 (depending whether you include a static fire test, which would be equivalent to a space shuttle exploding during testing with nobody aboard, which never happened probably because you couldn't do static test fires of a space shuttle). But your "a lot" of explosions are imaginary unless you're talking about initial Falcon 1 tests, which case you should be comparing with NASAs early test rockets which were famed for exploding frequently.
What he should do is hire somebody else to deal with that boring stuff. But I suspect he already did that, and that person's conference calls aren't considered newsworthy, only things Musk says get reported.
Debt is because of ballots full of bond measures that are never required to explain how anyone will ever pay for them. People will always vote for bonds and those same people will always vote against taxes. That's direct democracy for you. But the state budget is running a surplus and filling the rainy day fund, anyway.
This is faster than light in a non-communicative way. If you shine a really powerful laser pointer at the moon and then flick your wrist you can make the red spot on the moon move from one side of the moon to the other faster than light... but you can't communicate FTL that way either.
Wouldn't someone who cracks a DRM scheme to give everyone access to use what they own as they please be a cracker? If so, "cracker" doesn't distinguish good actors from bad actors.
It's like the guards at the prison all quit and removed the gates on their way out... and so the prisoners are being urged to pool their own money to hire new guards and rebuild the gates ASAP for their safety.
Whether it can recalculate your route really depends on whether your mobile internet is spotty where you're driving. I wouldn't risk it a lot of places with t-mobile.
Not everyone is that big of a consumerist nor has a big family. I do most of my non-grocery shopping on Amazon, but that that's no more than a handful of orders a year.
Even there, speeds were far from broadband: 2.31 Mbps download, 0.79 upload. Enough to check your email or go on Facebook, but not much else.
2.31 Mbps is enough to watch all the netflix or youtube you want at 360p. It absolutely ought to be considered broadband and it has no significant limitations. Basically this is an article about what it's like to watch non-HD videos... sheesh.
Personally I spend most of my day online but I have no use for anything faster than my 6 Mbps service (could get faster but I see no reason to pay more), which is apparently classified as not broadband these days. That's silly. It doesn't have to do 1080p to be extremely useful.

A disengagement is not necessarily a would-be-accident.
Well if you want to understand long term effects of partial gravity, the moon is the most obvious place to do it.

The only thing Bezos has that SpaceX could use is money. Perhaps in exchange for a $1B payment the BFR can be renamed Amazon Rocket.
