> Although SpaceX stock has since fallen far below its IPO price I'm a skeptic on SpaceX but the IPO price was $135, low was $108 and current price is $130. I wouldn't say that's far below.

Your mind produced a wonderful list of rabbitholes there! Lovely job.

I've had various levels of interest, optimism and investment in crypto from 2011 (quite a lot) to now (zero). Much of its promise has been undelivered and yet it has prospered. The people that I speak to who are involved have changed

Feel free to drop me an email - alex.muir@boxmove.com I wrote the logistics platform for our company - UK-based, £4m revenue. I'll be happy to have an honest chat with you if it would be helpful.

Doesn’t need to go in the ocean to be useful. You wouldn’t want to take a Rib across the Atlantic but they’re still highly useful craft.

Great question! A lot of absolute shite in the comments here. If you dream about building a factory then here's my thoughts: Read - Read "Faster, Better, Cheaper in the History of Manufacturing" by Christoph Roser - it'

How interesting that you're on HN. We regularly travel up and down the ship canal to/from Manchester. Give me a shout if you're ever in Manchester again, I think we'd enjoy a beer.

No leeboards I'm afraid - mine is a replica Luxemotor built in 2011. I have a friend with leeboards and they are beautiful but without sails they are just ornamental and one more thing to sand and varnish!

It depends on the level of comfort you want. If you're willing to shit in a bucket and shower once a fortnight then you can do it very cheaply and it'll be acceptable. Try that in a house and there will be concerns for your welf

Fellow boater here - I live on a Dutch Barge. Also awake at 0530 with creaking lines in this storm. Lovely lifestyle. We registered our new baby’s address as the boat on a birth certificate last week and had no problems. Good luck to any fu

Yes - it feels like a lot of words around a shallow amount of knowledge. I was hoodwinked there - interesting topic, unsatisfying article. I also thought the image at the top looks AI generated.

Almost everything you see is residential. And in the case of the new office blocks (the Canary Wharf shots), the developers are seeking consent for residential conversions. Playing SimCity and building only residential zones doesn't

No different than a house - you don't refer to the Left Wing, but the West Wing.

I've got a picoscope and it's not something I use very often at the moment. I've not looked at tablet stuff I'm afraid. It's one of those areas that's probably moving very quickly in terms of tech. The Picosc

Drop me an email and I'll sort it out manually - mostly it works but it's not great. The app ecosystem for this isn't worth the hassle any longer and I'll retire that app when I get the new version out.

Yes - I’ll move he videos across to Mux’s native player soon and that will provide what you need!

It’s absolutely useful for that! You’ll be on a carburettor instead of injection but that’s about the only difference! The Miata really isn’t much evolved from the 60s sports cars it’s based on.

It was $20 when I first started and about three years ago I put the price to $25 because I felt like I’d made a lot of progress. That’s the last time it changed.

by AlexMuir 3y ago
Thanks! When I get more progress then I'll probably increase the price but in all honesty it makes enough money to cover the production cost and that's good enough for me. Regional pricing is a good idea!

Private education with that sort of facility is terrific value for money.

I too had that very book as a teenager. It's a small world - when I was at uni I was hired to build a website for someone. Their friend then asked me to build them a site and I recognised their name from the caption of a photo of a c

I'm so happy to hear that. The initial 20-hour estimate was just guesswork really. I made 14 hours so far and we haven't even got through the engine, never mind the transmission, steering, suspension, fuel, ECU, brakes, and so on

This is true - I can only speak about Europe but almost no young people have feasible access to either the space or tools to do any of this unless it's their career or they have family. I wish I could solve the space, tools, and money

I'm great thanks! It's been an adventure and that's what life is about, eh?

Loads to do! I am working on it. I have a pot of money set aside from the sales and my plan is to hire a production company and rattle through it in one long shoot, rather than do one video at a time and then do all the production.
