When exactly is "before"? We've had a space program since the 50's. You know, when we landed on the moon.

Perhaps a corporate income tax or a billionaire wealth tax should be used to pay for food for starving people. Since, you know, corporate profits and billionaires actually do nothing to help the populus.

And while we're at it, why not universal healthcare?

When starlink satellites fall down?

NASA doesn't pay for starlink. NASA pays for SpaceX to launch NASA's satellites, NASA astronauts, and DoD satellites. And this is a pretty good deal given that these rocket launches are the most bang for buck efficient rockets in the entire history of launching rockets.

Life was better before our government prioritized corporate profits over increasing the base quality of human life. SpaceX contributes to the latter by providing continued access to space and the research that goes along with it while also eliminating our dependence on Russia.

What are you arguing for as the alternative? Do nothing?-:

So are you saying you'd rather pay Boeing and Lockheed for a shittier way to access space that they don't even have working?

Nobody is denying that NASA pays SpaceX for services.

2B to SpaceX, the most advanced rocket company on the planet fully run by Americans since they deal with DoD. Access to space is not a bad thing.

Agree people are starving. We're a country at peace spending >700B on the military industrial complex. Try shaving that down.

You have no idea whether they're profitable or what the sources of income are....since they're private....

The entire company is not funded by NASA

I bet calculator usage also goes up during the school year

If it was a Ponzi scheme from the get go he would have cashed out his billions by now.

Go read a bit of Satoshi's white paper on Bitcoin. It was created in response to the banking industry as a way for individuals to securely own digital currency without a centralized institution.

This is dependent on battery chemistry. True for common LI-ION.

Can you provide more detail on the physics?

The brake lights come on when decel reaches a particular rate, which means it comes on when regen kicks in. Perhaps try driving one?

The engine braking on my 500cc bike is as aggressive, if not more, than my car. And that one's got no decel based brake lights.

That's really a driver problem not a car problem. You'd see the same behavior with a manual car in front too. I've got a Y and it's the easiest thing in the world to keep a set distance with the guy in front.

You deserve the updoot sir

Golang for the software, test hardware can be pretty broad. For sense and measurement we use national instruments hardware.

Automating functional tests for products and their subassemblies while on the manufacturing line.

We do write tests for our software too though. The projects are written in golang, unittests sprinkled in with go's builtin test framework. Integration tests use our in house product simulations that were originally designed for firmware validation.

Why switch? Postman is still my go-to
