That's definitely true. That should still not take away from the accomplishments of the SpaceX engineers. ULA had the same exact opportunities but completely wasted them.
As someone who does know about this field, and absolute despise Musk, that's not quite true. SpaceX is very successful thanks to help from the US government, and despite the influence of Musk, but also because they are a team of very competent people who have actually innovated and pushed the boundaries of launch vehicles. To say they have nothing going for them and are being propped up by the government is not at all accurate, and they have been much more succesful than traditional government contractors.
Ohh, that reminds me of when I moved to Sweden. Their digital ID, bankID, is as the name suggests issued by your bank, not the government, even though it is used for all official authentication. And that includes... you guessed it, creating a bank account. So that was a real chicken and egg situation where it seemed impossible to be properly integrated into the Swedish system.
Yeah, companies starting an obesity epidemic by pumping us full of government subsidized corn syrup, only to solve that by getting us reliant on an exorbitantly expensive drug that you have to inject every day. How I love capitalism.
When putting in ambiguous inputs to WolframAlpha, it does its best to interpret it so that it's can give an answer, and it shows you underneath how it interpreted it. That doesn't mean there wasn't any ambiguity to begin with.
Yeah they aren't a unit in the sense that they make a non-quantifiable measure quantifiable. In dimensional analysis they would have the dimension [1]. But they can still be regarded as a unit since they act in the exact same way, just like other factors do. But yeah, they are more akin to the SI prefixes like kilo, or something like a dozen or a gross.
Both of those screenshots, the input is a fraction, thereby removing the ambiguity. But when you use the division symbol, an ambiguity arises. This is why you should never, for any reason, use a division symbol.
It had lemonade in its name, was next to all other soft drinks including lemonade and water , but contained more caffeine than a redbull and a monster energy drink combined. That is not what a regular consumer would expect.
Yeah that's where I originally posted it. I just remembered it when I first discovered this community on Lemmy and thought I'd share it here as well. I agree with you completely it's crazy how it just inspires so much random discussion on date formats when it's just supposed to be a funny quirk about how the 29th exists in all months except one, except for the years it exists there as well.
The difference is it was marketed as soda, not as a caffeinated drink, so it's a little more nuanced than that. See Legal Eagle's video on the topic, it's quite a good breakdown of the situation.
Woah woah woah. You are completely right on almost all parts of your comment, but I will not stand idly by as you call me Swedish. I'm a danskjävla who just happened to live in Sweden.
