I presume this is so they are not putting all their eggs into one basket, especially as Musk is (dare I say it) a high risk investment. The original plan was in any event to have at least two competing launch systems.
I am surprised that none of the above seeks to advance booster technology significantly, such as (for example) trying to get a viable booster powered by an aerospike engine.
...that because Ireland and not Apple is holding the money in escrow pending the legal decisions on the validity of the Irish tax legislation and incentives in respect of Apple, there is no need for the EU to take Ireland to court for not collecting the money from Apple.
....that the court didn't make a one time offer to give him an absolute discharge on all cannabis offenses that might be revealed by his Facebook messages, with the warning that if he didn't disclose the password in the light of this offer he would be charged with making a false statement (to a court) which carries a penalty of up to life imprisonment, same as murder....:)
is that if they can keep a satellite at room temperature whilst dipping itself in the corona of the sun, why is aircon complicated, unreliable and expensive?
..it's easy to get stuff done in PHP. There are certainly languages which are 'better' in various respects than PHP, but it is not going to replace the fact that if you want a website done quickly then PHP is your tool of choice.
Also, it's cheaper to find PHP employees. That doesn't necessarily mean that you find great coders, but looking on the job boards, the level of salaries offered to PHP developers can be half to a third of salaries offered to developers experienced in (say) Node.js/ React. Not only that there a PHP developers on every street corner.
At the moment I'm amazingly doing PHP at what I call 'financial developer' rates. But these jobs are hard to come by
That Facebook is too big to care about the Russian requirement, and that it is effectively calling Russia's bluff by realising that too many Russians 'depend' on Facebook and the act of blocking it would be hugely unpopular. To some extent all this is true with the UK too; it is so ingrained that most action against it would be deeply unpopular.
In short, Facebook doesn't really need Russia and doesn't really care what it's legislators think. It's perhaps slightly different matter with the EU, which is a more serious source of revenue.
In any event, Zuckerberg turning up to answer questions on Facebook operations is just theatre. Whilst I'm sure he has an some overview, many of the questions which parliaments want answered are technical and much better answered by their Facebooks legal department after they have presumably gone round and asked the right people in the company.

Study the history of the term "hashich" and you will understand that militaries are not necessarily against drugs.
Or benzedrine. Armies love benzedrine.

..must consume less beans.
Run his emails through a filter before they get sent to people, but have a 'pre-filter' stream online for the Lulz.
I was expecting a list like Nimitz, Eisenhower, Vinson, Roosevelt, Washinton, Stennis, Ford, Truman, Reagan, Bush....
..completes his transformation from hero to villain by having a secret underground lair
but with 5 billion new pounds of plastic ending up in the Pacific every year, they're gonna need a whole lot more booms.
It will be a booming business.
Boom! Tish!
So will Admiral Ackbar.

..are you having a day off?

Actually since Victorian mail was delivered up to 12 times a day, the throughput of sexting by mail was very practical.

Apart from North Korea, you do have countries such as India getting in on the game, where manufacturing and labour costs are lower.
It's Tremors. Where is Kevin Bacon when you need him?
Anecdotes are data, they're just not necessarily good data
And where is there a safe space for those poor quarks?
(Also, BeauHD, you shmuck: It's 10^35, or write 10e35, not 1035).
I'm sure Quarks will be safe on DS9

ZTE sells the company under a rebadged name, and they don't have a problem as long as major ZTE shareholders don't control the new company
iZombie or The Walking Dead brain heist?
