This is the BFS ship which will ride on the BFR rocket for Earth to Mars launches, but also able to do SSTO in Mars gravity for the return trip.
They are going to be doing short (2-3 miles up) test SSTO-style launches (and landings) either at Boca Chica or from ship-to-ship by the end of next year. Most of the people who have been working on FH have been reassigned to work on BFR/BFS exclusively.
He could have beaten that finding on appeal - Linus clearly doesn't require or accept copyright assignment. I doubt this guy is done. I like the goal of the GPL but the means are nasty statist shakedowns. The only reason GPL works (differentially to MIT/BSD) is because of threats of assholes like McHardy, so if you like the GPL you pretty much need to accept his actions. If you don't think such actions are acceptable then that leaves you with weaker licenses to choose from. I've been putting my code under WTFPL 2.0 for a few years because I don't think the ends justify the means.
Of course. But what has sucking me in marketing to do with your idea that you can exploit my work for free?
The deal is this: for "20 years" (or whatever) you are granted a monopoly on the reproduction of your works. The government will spend time, money, and effort, to the extent of imprisoning or even killing violators of your monopoly, during that term.
The exchange for that protection is that after the term is up, anybody can use it. According to popular legal theories[2] 'the government' is really just 'the people' who vote for it, so the people who protected you get some recompense.
If you'd rather forego the monopoly and try to stop people from duplicating your ideas on your own, that would be another option - don't register a copyright[1] and don't ask for any government monopolies, and then you get as long a term as you can sustain on your own.
The idea that there should be a free lunch for authors because their work is more important than the work of the guy who put the axle on the author's car is incredibly self-serving and egotistical.
[1] the Berne Convention somewhat broke the idea that copyright registrations are meaningful distinguishers. [2] I prefer the one that government cannot threaten violence, for the way I put my ink on my paper, because those are real property rights. This idea is unpopular among authors.
The US is about to lose yet another corporation doing beat things because of the overbearing, unelected ruling class (regulators). This is the swamp Trump lied about draining. I look forward to getting gear sent via Chinapost that can listen to these satellites to outcompete my neighbors.;)
There's modders who do that... but I can't fathom why.
Back in the day we used to upgrade our microprocessors, leaving everything else as-is. AMD fans used to brag about this being a great reason to not use Intel.
When those Celerons hit $75, it might well be worth it.
Laughing for no reason seems like a very odd bug, do any Alexa users have a hunch what's happening?
Something is up. I asked my kid's echo "Alexa, can you laugh?", and her synthesized laugh is entirely unlike the video on Twitter (which sounds sampled).

Given that my Moto is so much more stable on Lineage than stock, that must make stock an 'alpha'?
Fortunately, each model has a 'known problems' list that can be queried and people can leave build feedback, so it's far more transparent than any of the manufacturers' builds.
So this is a guy at Mozilla who can actually navigate the politics there are get shit done? Great, I say, about effing time.
If Electrolysis had happened fifteen years ago when users were asking for it and Mozilla was getting $350M/yr. from Google, Chrome would never have handed it its ass. I know, a billion here a billion there doesn't go as far as you'd like, and process isolation is so much more than a billion dollar project./s
Mozilla claims to care about user privacy, but through mismanagement actually handed the dominant market share position to Google, which makes its revenues by piercing the very veil of privacy that Mozilla claimed to value.
Quantum is the best thing Mozilla has done in years, so let's see what happens. I'd love to have the Mozilla (.org) back that spun off from Netscape.

With all the effort and expense that Uber drivers put into their vehicles, we can either look at "studies" to gauge earnings, or presume that most Uber drivers are not irrational self-deluded actors driving themselves into poverty by working for less than a Walmart stock-boy.
Sure, there's more flexibility with Uber than Walmart, but only those who do it as a hobby would do it for $3 or $8 an hour (as a median of the curve from $0 upwards - there will always be outliers).
As these drivers tend to be entrepreneurial in spirit and safe drivers, we can presume above-average sensibility.
Are you assuming that uptime was the top priority? There are many other variables that could have been maximized for. I'm not saying things went according to plan but maybe they went as well as possible given other constraints.
I got a *copay* bill once for a transport from one hospital to another (4 miles) of $2300. The full bill was $3500. This was a municipal ambulance run by a paid fire department. I drove the injured kid to the first ER and the hospital staff did nothing to stabilize, nor did the ambulance crew. It took them 15 minutes to arrive too (10 minute drive to the other hospital). $0 value.
I can't blame anybody who calls a taxi for anything that doesn't need on-scene EMS.
Building a new car is more polluting than the running an old car, and the economic activity required to afford that new car also burns more energy, with its pollution, than the car will save.
Cars will move to electrics pretty soon now - as the old fleet ages out the electric replacements will be too cost-effective to not buy - only gearheads will still want liquid fuel vehicles.
But in the meantime, some wealthy politicians and their wealthy friends can ban the cars that their staff people drive (because the wealthy people don't pay them enough) so that they don't have to breathe their "poor-people" pollution. The politicians will hide behind the fig leaf of environmentalism because just enough people aren't educated enough to call them on their ruling-class bullshit.
Good Lord, why would Satoshi out himself? Did you see the Aussie Taxman raid Wright the next day (on "purely coincidental matters")?
Anybody smart enough to invent Bitcoin is smart enough to shut the hell up for now. If Wright is Satoshi, he's a hypergenius to have convinced most people he's not. Yes, a superposition of being Satoshi.
The point of the third movie was that the Red Pill was a separate but more acceptable fantasy for some (Neo's god-like powers). The moral of the story is when somebody tells you there are only two choices, don't accept their false dichotomy. Use your mind and make your own decisions, or you'll just hop from trap to trap. Neo was lost to the Red Pill fantasy (making the trilogy a tragedy).
It's too bad the moviemaking didn't live up to the value of the story.
Heat is primarily a problem when the sun is shining brightest.
It's Hawaii, man. It's hot all day. Additionally, buildings function as heat sinks.
School is about seven hours, Hawaii gets 14.5 hrs of near-equatorial sun in June. That's 7.5 hrs of storage, assuming the AC is set back outside of school hours.
Also, power is crazy-expensive in Hawaii which is one of the reasons so many people there do solar.
Hey, Google only notified them in June and maybe they were going to get around to working on it after the holidays. And there are two new variants out this week that aren't considered, so be ready for the next round in a month or so as well.
You can't expect Intel to get these things done immediately, people! (the class action suits are going to love that they didn't fix it with six months' warning).

Lets let the wars drag on for decades, but we need to take a stand now for copyright!
One set of captured corporations is already being extremely well-served; here comes another. More police state, more government-enforced monopolies.
The thought of Hollywood funding a Trump re-election is a joke, though, even if he gives them everything they ever wanted.
There's modders who do that... but I can't fathom why.

Wait, did you erase a potential past? ;)
You make some good points, but then you throw in this rape-cage culture bit:
And, frankly speaking, if you don't give your child real, physical books to read, IMHO you should be locked up for child abuse.
which needs to be called out. If you meant it literally, which I'm not assuming, then that's a separate issue.
