  2. This was major progress over the last attempt. That in itself is a big success. I'll bet the next launch happens much sooner than this one did.

  3. I'd worry that 3D-printed walls will inherently be structurally weaker than stress-formed walls. Why should we believe otherwise? 🤔 We're talking about pressure vessels here. Does anybody make 3D-printed pressure vessels for any other applications?

  4. Is that because all these CIA guys are busy signing open letters against Trump, violating the tradition of being apolitical civil servants?

  5. +Fall_ OutXC No, it's because various foreigners sympathize with America over the Muslim security threat

  7. In ten years' time, their population will be 10 years older. They have to do this in next 2-3 years, or else their window of opportunity is gone.

  8. You mean Taiwan should help the same Beijing that wants to invade it? Any other brilliant ideas from you?

  9. Yeah, that's the only reason I've tried it - to expand my horizons, so that I hopefully discover something enjoyable that I wouldn't have otherwise discovered

  10. ***** India has a lot of security, but it also has a lot of Muslims - they love to multiply. Once they become more numerous in the US, they will outbreed everybody.

  13. And "If US can support Israel what is the problem if Iran support Hamas?" then what is the problem if US attack Iran? How is that any different from "US can support Israel and Iran support Hamas"? It's all the same thing, right? This isn't a game of Simon Says.

  15. Rrorro God Newsflash: people in a lot of countries are unhappy with Muslims - not just India. Muslims always put themselves at odds with other cultures.

  16.  @PrograError  - Ever heard of Electro-forming? I've read it can make exceptionally strong parts which are all seamless. I'm wondering if that could be a better method of manufacturing.

  17. That worked because Itanium flopped - it was too much of a departure from x86

  21. SpaceX had the first-mover advantage, and used it to ramp up its value proposition to customers. Now they're far enough ahead that they can dominate the marketplace and shut out smaller new entrants. It remains to be seen how they'll fare against Blue Origin, when it hits the marketplace, as Blue has its own deeper backing while having gestated for a long time. Will that long gestation time prove to have been worth it?

  26.  @wangyaohan8824  - China also said it wouldn't take away HongKong's freedoms ("1 country, 2 systems") but look what happened. Xi's word means nothing.

  27.  @wangyaohan8824  - wrong. CCP crackdown on HongKong and removal of autonomy is in violation to past pledges, which were not honoured. That's why world has stopped trading thru HongKong.

  28. China is playing a game of GoodCop-BadCop, using NorthKorea as its bad cop to pressure the US and its allies in the region, while China itself puts on a mask of sympathetic cooperation, playing the good cop. Because the South China Sea has heated up, we're now seeing North Korea acting up, because it serves China's interests for it to do so.

  29. ***** Look at Sadiq Khan - he is one of EIGHT children born to his bus driver father. You won't see Hindus or Sikh immigrants having such large families - only Muslims. Eight siblings, for goodness' sakes, and living off public subsidy. The burdens for Britain can only grow.

  30. ***** The thing is that when anyone questions individual Muslims about their behavior- the answer always comes back that it's because of the infallible Islam. Other people don't do that. If a Muslim person says something racist and you ask them why they said that, the automatic answer is "I can't be racist, because I'm a Muslim, and Islam doesn't permit racism". They won't answer on what they themselves did, they'll simply quote their religion/ideology (Islam seems to be a combination of both). I once worked in a Call Centre long ago, and a Muslim called in to pay his overdue bill, but refused to pay the interest charges. When I asked him why, he said that interest charges were against Islam. I firmly told him that if interest charges were against his religion, then he should PAY THE BILLS ON TIME. That's just one example - but I find that any time you ask a Muslim about something they did that was wrong, they'll hide behind Islam, and talk about what Islam says, instead of talking about what they themselves did. It's really ridiculous. It's like dealing with a robot which can't cite anything but its programming.

  31. ***** Trump will do what's right for America, and that means having better relations with rational, responsible nations like India. Birds of a Feather Flock Together. The rational, sober, responsible countries prefer to interact with each other, and meanwhile irresponsible rogues like Pakistan prefer to band together with Taliban, ISIS, North Korea, etc. "I am a British convert to Islam" "dirty cow worshipping poor Indians" We can see that converting to Islam has only given you ethnic hatred and bigotry. This is why the rest of the world isn't terribly fond of Islam. To become a Muslim is to embrace all of their prejudices, as you have. You were better off before converting to the "religion of peace".

  32. ***** Islam has made you a bigot and immersed you in their bigoted politics. Islam is not about tolerance - take a look at all the Muslim countries around the world - they're not known for their tolerance towards other cultures. They're known for their insularity, prudishness, and their shabby treatment of non-Muslim minorities. Take a look at the issues which get Muslims upset, and you'll see that mistreatment of non-Muslims isn't one of those issues. When non-Muslims get together to criticize Zach Goldsmith or Donald Trump, you merely imagine that this happens because Muslims are so wonderful and attractive. On the contrary - it's because the non-Muslims try to show their openness towards others. When Muslims stay silent at all the atrocities inflicted on nonMuslims by Muslims (they only make token mention of such things at best), then you imagine that nothing is being said because the Muslim world is so marvelous that nothing bad is going on to be apologized for. Your Glass-half-empty/Glass-half-full game is pathetic. It's an ostrich mentality. Muslims can only improve their popularity with others by learning to criticize themselves - something they have shown themselves to be thoroughly incapable of. The reason why there is so much criticism of Islam from outside the Muslim community is because there's so little criticism coming from inside it.

  33. ***** You're living in your own fucked-up artificial reality bubble, which you're trapped in and can't seem to get out of. In case you haven't noticed, it's one particular religion that's pissing off the entire world with suicide bombings and shootings and horrific execution videos, etc. And when this is very naturally and appropriately criticized, you respond to it with whining and tit-for-tat name-calling, because you can't stand to introspect and see how the backward medeivalism that Islam is clinging to is causing all this vile behavior.

  34. ***** You just contradicted yourself, because you generalized about others in your previous replies. The fact is that converts like you are high on zeal, poor on logic. Ultra-strict disciplinarian religions are simply aggregators for those with impulse-control problems.

  35. ***** Heh, you're calling yourself a proud Brit, but you've embraced the Middle East for religion. Bit fickle, are we?

  36. ***** But the first 2 evolved, while the 3rd just stayed in the 7th century, because it didn't know better. Way to take a step down.

  37. ​ @hari haran - lefties will always made everything into a hate fest against Modi. Your hatred for Modi is stronger than your love for India - because you have no love for India. It wasn't clear that virus would surge again -- after all, many countries including your favourite ITALY have fully re-opened again, without any masks. It's only after the surge happened, that crooks like you are claiming to know better. How come there are European countries which have re-opened and have no masks? Only when there is adversity, you suddenly want to lecture -- not because you care about the people, but mainly you always want to make everything about Modi.

  38. You are the failure, Ankur Roy. When farmers were protesting, then you were very much in favour of mass gatherings and assemblies. Your selectivity is very crooked & obvious.

  40. @ShehryarPakistani There's no Indian presence in Afghanistan -- this is just a lie you make up to justify destroying Afghanistan and enslaving them. Pakistan was arming & training Taliban for this since the time of Benazir Bhutto, and before that they were arming & supporting Gulbuddin Hekmatyar / Hezb-i-Islami. We all know why -- because you fear Pashtuns want to reunify like Kurds. Just like Kurds are divided by artificial borders, likewise the same thing has been done to Pashtuns by imperialists. You have chosen to inherit the spoils of British imperialism, so you've chosen to inherit the British divide-and-rule mindset along with it.

  47. Nah, it's not that interviewer is uneducated, he's just staying away from any affirming any political positions by Musk. When Musk talks about "late stage empire", he's criticizing the political dynamics going on in the country.
