Yeah, justice is only for black people and scummy minorities. He broke the law and committed felonies. It's definitely for him.

Historically, soldiers have generally been reluctant to use their weapons. During WWII, around 20% of soldiers actually fired their weapons in combat. Even fewer shot to kill often aiming over the heads of the enemy. This is a form of po

Personally, I'm deeply satisfied Elon Musk stood up for first principles reasoning and rejected all the niceties of socially created reality. I've always hated Ayn Rand's writing but he's probably the closest thing to a Galt-like hero.

Driving back and forth in front of the damn charger speaks for itself. Straws. You maybe holding some. EDIT: Two words. Occam's Razor. Your explanation is so tangled that an entire battalion of Viet Cong could hide in it.

I'm aware that many systemic problems require multiple people to resolve as your incredibly insightful comment notes. This post however, is complaining for the sake of complaining. I for one do not rail against the Second Law of Thermodyna

If it's such a huge problem why don't you go fix it? Or are you volunteering other peoples time?

It's odd that any mention of Elon Musk colonizing Mars results in rapturous worship. Other efforts, China in particular, seem to attract scorn. Especially in light of the fact that Elon Musk's original plan was to send a greenhouse with pla

You're seriously suggesting affirmative action leads to social ills? I'd also suggest you avoid hospitals because they cause cancer.

African Americans constitute 15% of America. White Americans constitute 74% of America. Thus African Americans are more than twice as likely to live under the poverty line. Those are not I odds I would like to gamble with had I been born b

Human wants are a bottomless pit. Even if we automate every single industry, people will still want something else. There is always an angle.

Demand is not an issue. There were 12,200 reservations as of July. That's enough to keep busy for the rest this year and into Q2 of next year. If demand were truly an issue, we would see some sort of advertising spend. When was the last

That's definitely the MMRTG or its nuclear battery. My guess would be the Department of Energy doesn't want too much about it floating around.

We've taken the probe launching approach for the last fifty years. Besides SpaceX, launch tech hasn't really advanced since then which really disproves your thesis. We must stop our collective procrastination. Human spaceflight is the ult

You are seriously underestimating Musk's accomplishments. I take issue with your implicit stance that anything involving the government is intrinsically tainted but I will set that aside for now. The global launch market is well into the b

SpaceX is innovating off of NASA's inventions so it has a smaller barrier to clear. NASA is in charge of space exploration and space science with a budget that can really only handle one. In addition, politicians and not engineers run NASA

Contacts are a horrendous ideas. In fact soldiers are specifically not to wear contacts into a combat zone because the heat of an IED explosion can fuse it to the cornea.

I'm surprised someone hasn't converted the large image over to something like the Google Maps navigation UI for better viewing. I guess I'll be attempting that when I get home from work.

I compiled the statistics for this whitepaper. We do not attempt to quantify success or company size. We aware that our data set is biased toward smaller companies, namely start-ups. We simply examined CEOs at a certain time period and th

I wrote the SQL calls. We did not examine company size as we did not have that data on hand. We filtered the data based on known companies to the best of our abilities but that is an area we could devote additional effort. That being said,

I compiled the statistics for the white paper. As I noted below, the sets are largely disjoint. Those with both engineering degrees and MBAs are in the low tens.

Hey kthyqn, I put to together the statistics for the white paper. Our data is necessarily skewed and is not a perfect reflection of reality. Our data is comes with several caveats, namely we probably somewhat over represents startups and
