And yet still have margins of >20%, dramatically higher than any other manufacturer.

At a rate roughly 10% of gasoline-powered cars.

They've been profitable since Q2 2020.
SLS has already launched its test flight. Starship HLS (the lander) is funded and in development.
> In astrology the rules happen to be about stars and planets, but they could be about ducks and drakes for all the difference it would make. It's just a way of thinking about a problem which lets the shape of that problem begin to emerge. The more rules, the tinier the rules, the more arbitrary they are, the better. It's like throwing a handful of fine graphite dust on a piece of paper to see where the hidden indentations are. It lets you see the words that were written on the piece of paper above it that's now been taken away and hidden. The graphite's not important. It's just the means of revealing their indentations. So you see, astrology's nothing to do with astronomy. It's just to do with people thinking about people.
A set can be infinite and yet not contain all things.
From the discussion on sticky header [0],
> Our preliminary results show that an overwhelming majority of test participants reported positive experience with a sticky header. Participants mentioned they enjoyed the ability to access important functionality from any part of the page.
> Overall, there was an average 15% decrease in scrolls per session by logged-in users on the 15 pilot wikis in the treatment group (with the new sticky header), compared to the control group (without the sticky header). This indicates that our hypothesis was correct - adding the sticky header to the page reduced the need to scroll to the top of the page significantly.
> there was a 2.8% and a 6.8% increase in the percent of people who were able to successfully complete at least one edit using the edit button within the sticky header,

I am assuming you are in Canada.
At some point though, it always got stuck and insisted on making illegal moves, even when I corrected it by providing the current board position in FEN.

Until 2011, my local school district was using a DOS-based attendance and grading system. No GUI.
In 2011 they switched to an internet-connected system that looked like it was built on Windows 3.1. Non-resizable text fields. Inability to tab from one field to the next. A tiny non-resizable window that you had to scroll manually with the scrollbar to enter data in all the fields, so to enter attendance for a whole class you had to scroll left and right with the mouse for each child.
It crashed every morning for months. Teachers would coordinate with each other to ensure they didn't overload the system.
My dad was up at 6 and at school for 7am. Worked 7am-3pm (8 hours). He did marking for an hour or two most evenings, and a solid chunk on the weekends. Probably 50 hour weeks. And that's after 20 years of teaching the same classes, so he had all the materials.
My ex-wife was brand new to teaching so had to develop curriculum on top of this. She worked 7am-5pm every day plus weekends.
Calling parents, dealing with kids with special needs, developing curriculum, marking, department meetings, making lesson plans, running extra-curricular activities or clubs, private lessons, doing paperwork or photocopying, etc etc, it all mounts up. There's a lot of behind the scenes work.
Now, some teachers simply don't do this. You can easily skate by, work the bare minimum 6 hour days, and not give two shits about the kids. But most teachers care about children and education (I mean, you don't become a teacher for the money).
So thin flat things like paper or shirts are 1 mai, 2 mai, 3 mai, while to count books you say 1 satsu, 2 satsu, 3 satsu.
Long round things like pencils or umbrellas go 1 pon, 2 hon, 3 bon, 4 hon, 5 hon, 6 pon, etc (yeah you read that right).
There are different counter words for different kinds of animals, small things, vehicles, shoes, drinks, people, etc.

This is like the Broken Window Fallacy.
All that money that was spent building Ethereum could have been spent on activities that were far more useful to society.
Interestingly, there is a (very effective!) weight-loss drug called DNP whose mechanism of action is to interfere with ATP generation in this manner. Essentially it makes it so that some non-trivial percentage of these "proton turbines" do not actually generate ATP. This means you burn a lot more calories at rest to generate the same amount of ATP, and also generate a lot of excess heat.
The risk is that if you take too much your core temperature increases too much and you can cook yourself to death. There's no treatment and overdoses are invariable fatal.
It's full of tokens and mementos, both happy and sad, along with stories of relationships that have ended for a variety of different reasons.
And one of the main examples in the article is an injunction against an individual for using that title online?
In BC, I have worked as a "Software Engineer" for 15 years with just a Bachelors and no engineering license, including for large tech companies. It's on my CV/LinkedIn. SE is the standard title internally and externally, it's on job postings, it's used everywhere.
