> apple doesn’t own the vast majority of these factories.

Apple doesn't' own any factories. All manufacturing is outsourced. Apple does the design work.

Foxconn factories the size of cities have suicide nets. Most of your electronics are made by Foxconn. You aren't guilt free just for hating on Apple.

It didn't fail. The test was full duration meaning it lasted for the specified amount of time. That was the main thing. Testing the rocket and the OLM during startup.

Having issues with two engines will be investigated but it's unlikely they will do another static fire. They will either green light both engines or replace one or both and then move on to the launch.

It's estimated Starship can lose up to 7 engines total and around 3-5 on launch and still make it to orbit. Musk tweeted that had this been a launch it would have made it to orbit.

NASA bought more Starship landings. They seem to have quite a bit of confidence in the rocket.

lol "same service". Boeing cant' even manage that. They are years behind delivering crews to the ISS despite getting more money initially and even managing to go back to NASA and get an extra billion.

They need multiple engines for landing. An empty Falcon 9 is already too light to hover or descend on a single Merlin engine at minimum throttle.

Both Starship and SuperHeavy can hover and descend with multiple Raptor engines firing. This gives them engine out capability while landing and a much safer landing profile. There's no need to perform a suicide burn where you only have a brief moment to get it right or you are crashing.

> If not takeoff and max q, for sure during landing.

They aren't turning any engines off during launch. Max Q doesn't' require a greater than 40% reduce in thrush.

Engines are turned off during separation. Then some are turned back on for the boost back burn and maybe a reentry burn. Then finally some are used for the landing burn.

You have no idea what you are talking about. SpaceX is looking to restrict Ukraine from using their terminals in guidance systems. THAT IS IT. They are restricting NOTHING ELSE.

If the US government likes use of the terminals in guidance systems then they can give SpaceX the OK to keep allowing that. It seems actually likely the US doesn't like it as NATO has been very careful about giving Ukraine weapons that allow them to attack Russia in its own territory.

Ukraine and NATO have different but very similar goals in this war. NATO's goals win out as they are the sole reason Ukraine is still able to fight. This sucks for Ukraine so they are being very creative in using what they do have to achieve their own goals.

If the reality you are shown isn't the whole picture could that not influence how you are perceiving said reality?

Kessler Syndrome has no real bearing on stuff traveling through a orbit.

It's about a cascading series of crashes in an orbit that create a dangerous debris field. This cascade can take decades or centuries. It also doesn't make the orbit unusable, just a bit more dangerous.

Wall-E and Gravity are not real depictions of what it could be like.

The only negitive articles allowed on /r/technology is Tesla ones.

Walking within 5 meters as you walk past it won't do anything. If you pick it up then you are starting to get a concerning dose and need to get it at least 5m away from you and now that you know where it is you need to remain 5m away.

With how radioactive it is if it's along the road they will easily find it with radiation meters. If someone has stolen it then it will be hard to find, but not impossible.

You say they can do both but then describe your console doing either. 1440p120hz is not equal to 4k120hz. 4k120hz is still a demanding ask.

> but since its so fast you dont notice.

Ho boy is interlaced ever noticeable. When it first came out it was an upgrade but now if people watch interlaced content they will really notice how poor moving images are.

The largest reference frame is the CMB. There is no absolute reference frame which is a fundamental part of general and special relativity.

This is more true of Intel iGPUs. AMD APUs were actually designed for light gaming as their integrated GPUs actually had some power.

Tesla has sold more EVs than any of those brands every year. Toyota would beat them only if you include hybrids. You didn’t mistake 2018 data as that would still prove you wrong.

Human rating the Falcon Heavy and upgrading the Dragon capsule wouldn’t have cost close to $100 billion.

A single power plant isn't responsible for 0.1% of CO2 and we've been dumping CO2 for over a century. So how could a single scrubber remove that much? We have millions and millions of sources of CO2 that when all added up have created the climate change problem. It's going to take a similar number of sinks to start rectifying the problem.

It actually is. They have been reducing the brightness of their satellites constantly.

They are definitely way worse than constellations. It however seems countries have stopped doing them.

If insurance companies never turned a profit they would leave the area. That's not what you want. As an individual you can't personally insure your home or car unless you are extremely wealthy. Excessive profits are an issue but profits in general aren't.

This is just the difference between dealership repairs and independent garage repairs. Tesla isn’t interested in diving super deep and doing a one off fix. They do high level repairs which cost more.

It also shows that Teslas aren’t locked to Tesla like so many claim. You can bring it to other people to get it fixed.

No one. This is to get ready for when gas is hard to find. They are starting early.

Many of Tesla’s recalls were voluntary and already fix by the time the recall was announced. Stop making stuff up.
