All of the Apollo hardware was developed and built by private industry. The Saturn V and Apollo spacecraft were built by Boeing (S-IC first stage), North American Aviation (S-II second stage, Apollo command and service modules), Douglas Aircraft (S-IVB third stage), IBM (instrument unit), Grumman (lunar module), and many others (as subcontractors).
To say that the crew Dragon will be the first âoecommercialâ craft to carry astronauts ignores history.
"More and more children are living at home because they have a greater struggle than their parents."
What utter bunk! Children who are focused and motivated have no problems in this area. My 25-year-old son recently bought a house. In Seattle, which isn't exactly a low-cost housing market, and it did it entirely without any help from his parents.
"You say that until you wonder why the sun is rising at 4:40AM in the summer (in June in Los Angeles, it rises on June 23 at 5:40AM DST), and there's an hour less light in the evening."
So what? Don't like it? Just get up and hour earlier and go to work an hour earlier so you can leave earlier if you want more daylight after work. Don't force everyone else onto your schedule. Or better yet, get a night job and then you can have as much daylight as you want during your non-working hours.
"Per CA law at least according to the poster at work, I can identify as any gender, I don't need to prove anything, and I'm protected by the law in doing so."
California just passed another dumb law that says public companies are forced to have at least one female on their boards.
Looks like one dumb CA law can be used against another: just have a few of your male board members self-identify as females and, presto!, problem solved California-style...
It's not the fraud rates that concern me, but the percentage of people on welfare in Sacramento county. 193,000 is 12% of the county's population. That means almost one out of every eight people is on welfare in the county.
That seems high for a place where the unemployment rate is only 3.9%.
"I'd personally distribute 50% of it evenly to each citizen over 18 to solve the regressive nature of one, and probably ramp it up slowly, but overall I'm very proud VAT."
Oh, good idea. Reward laziness and mediocrity and punish success. And you know what the lazy are going to do with the money, right? Spend it on drugs. booze, and cigarettes.
>The benefits of using Controlled Folder Access for your home and work computers are tangible for anyone that's fearful of losing crucial files to a ransomware infection.
This is ridiculous in the extreme. Anyone fearful of losing their files for any reason should be backing them up on a regular basis! So perhaps this new feature prevents files being encrypted in a ransomware attack, but what if the disk fails? Or any number of other issues?
Google search results always favor sites selling something over sites offering information. That's okay, but I'd like to see Google add a tab at the top of the search results (where the All, Shopping, Videos, Images... tabs are) to exclude all sites selling the object of the search.
I doubt this'll happen, though, as the companies that represent Google's revenue stream wouldn't stand for it.
Lots of sites have an option to not save your credit card info, which is something I always use. I'd rather have to retype my CC info every time I buy something than have the vendor store it. That won't work with one click.
"Google doesn't profit exclusively from it, and doesn't curate those links based on their internal activity. They do face anti-competitive activity charges though."
And Google has deeper pockets and would be much harder to successfully sue than the Pirate Bay people.
"For some companies, Pixar and many semiconductor ones, allowing unauthorized personnel even in "public" areas is quite a big deal (who knows what they may see or overhear). That they allow children and spouses to hang around is a really big deal - it shows the company cares about the well-being of its workers."
Bullshit. If companies really cared about the well-being of their workers they wouldn't work them 18 hours a day.
The whole movie theater experience sucks these days, but there are aspects of watching a movie on DVD/Blu-Ray at home that suck as well.
How many industries threaten their customers with five years in federal prison every time they use one of their products?
I hate previews--it's one of the things I hate most about the theater experience. More and more DVDs and Blu-Rays prevent you from skipping through previews. They force you to watch them every time you play a disc, even if you've seen them a dozen times. That sucks even more than previews in a theater.

He's probably planning to ship several tons of his money to the moon to keep it out of the hands of the tax collectors.
"They have to agree that his pay and performance are in line. Even a CEO has people he has to be accountable to"
And who is on these boards of directors? Other CEOs. It's a big old boys network watching out for themselves.

>Actually, we got to where we are by importing the best and brightest worldwide. Einstein ring a bell? How about Fermi? Oppenheimer? Tesla?
Check your facts dude... Oppenheimer was born in NYC.
Let's just call it "Just get up an hour earlier, you lazy bastard, if you want more daylight" time.

Come on people, get a clue!

>American culture has been dumbening down young americans for so long
I suppose this proves your point.
Sometimes "republic" and "democracy" are just words...
Take the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, for example. It's not a republic and it's certainly not democratic.
When did that policy go away? When financial pressures overrode ethics?
Lots of sites have an option to not save your credit card info, which is something I always use. I'd rather have to retype my CC info every time I buy something than have the vendor store it. That won't work with one click.
With Amazon storing all of those credit card numbers, if they're ever hacked it'll be a disaster.
He should have taken a little drive north while he was in Milwaukee and then he could have fought extradition while living at home in the UK.
" We're not even 2% in to the capability of 4G/LTE - why is thought even given to 5G?"
Marketing. 5G will be perceived to be better than 4G because 5 > 4.
I wonder how many people would obey the speed limits if the fine was $0.25 with no points?
Fining big corporations like Anthem will only work if the fines are in the multi billion range, not a few million, or even a hundred million.
"Google doesn't profit exclusively from it, and doesn't curate those links based on their internal activity. They do face anti-competitive activity charges though."

Just think, if this actually comes to pass we can finally tell the Saudis to go fuck themselves.
