Eh, it’s just a start of development. It only goes 300 meters. Blue Origin goes higher, but even they aren’t in orbit.
Japan also has some odd limitations on their rockets as part of their self defense only constitution. They don’t build a rocket that could potentially be used to strike mainland Asia.
Why anyone would even start a YouTube channel right now is beyond me. Unless you’re planning to go full Louis Rossman and DGAF.
Who could have guessed that ahead of time? The industry is famous for seeing a successful new strategy and then driving it into the ground with a list of copycats. The strategy has made so much money before; why would it ever have failed this time?

Tactical nukes can stop just about any invasion.
Sure it does. He’s primarily talking to G7 people, not Trump. He calmed down for a different audience.
That $25 estimate included a 30% profit margin already.
The headline is misleading here (big surprise, I know). He didn’t change his mind about Trump. He just calmed himself down so he could advocate more clearly.
Yeah, those are mostly showing off. They’re not really what I’m getting at, either. I more want to challenge people to make useful things simply.
And yes, there are ways that JavaScript can be used to give users a faster and more streamlined experience. The web as it stands is so far past that justification. I swear there’s lots of “full stack” devs that haven’t a clue how to make a site without React.
Ukraine had nukes and gave them up. They were invaded.
Iraq gave up their WMD program after the first Gulf War. They were invaded again.
Iran definitely had a nuclear program, but doesn’t appear to be pursuing it anymore. They’re getting attacked and quite possibly will get invaded.
South Africa had a nuclear program and gave it up. Left alone.
The Great Powers, particularly the United States but also Russia, have shown that your country should just keep going once you start. Chances are, you’ll get invaded, anyway.
This is not the way towards anti-proliferation.
They’re destroying humanity both physically and mentally, so I certainly hope so.
I’m unimpressed by the people who use it.
Aerosmith isn’t classic . . . goddammit.

I’d like full stack developers to try something. Next time you have an itch for a personal project, see if you can make it with no frontend JavaScript. Just some CSS and HTML forms. All templating handled on the backend. Just try it and see how far you get. Don’t worry if it looks like a GeoCities page.
Then try finding places where JavaScript would make it more responsive or better UX in some way. Does the back button still work? Is it actually faster? Does it provide any benefit at all?
Maybe it does, but just try.
Interesting. I wonder if the canister could fit in a modern microsat. Might be possible to recreate it for (relatively) cheap.

You can see here how the arresting wire–which carriers have used anyway for a long time–tends to be the thing that takes up most of the speed. The plane doesn’t slide against the runway so much as bounces a few times and stops.
There must be heat built up in the arresting wire system, of course, but no more than a traditional plane with landing gear doing the same. In fact, there is probably more energy transferred to the deck and the airplane skin than with rolling wheels, so the arresting wire system should have less kinetic energy turned into heat. All that heat is spread out more.
Also, not all of the energy is transferred as heat, either. Some of the momentum will make the boat go a little faster.
And even then, I’m not sure what it would accomplish. You’re not going to undo Trump’s inauguration. At best, it could protect the integrity of the next election, but now there are other options available to undermine it.
Meanwhile, elections since then have swung hard against Trump supporters, including one in Wisconsin where Elon dumped a small fortune and made a personal appearance. If they’re so good at rigging machines, why aren’t they continuing to use this ability?
Important to note this is the Royal Air Force. Unlike the US, the Royal Air Force covers both land and naval based aircraft.
It’s a surprisingly good idea for carrier aircraft. The landing gear on carrier planes has to be extra durable because carrier landings are rough. Getting rid of landing gear would save a lot of weight and a big source maintenance.
Worked pretty well. The only reason it wasn’t pursued was because carrier aircraft do land on regular runways, and nobody wants to convert every single runway to a bouncy version.
It’s not like they’re part of a company whose core product is search.
It’s not just breeding. Are the offspring sterile? A male horse and a female donkey will get you a hinny, but they’re sterile. Male donkey and female horse makes a mule, which are almost always sterile with a few exceptions.
