Have you ever wondered why Manus founders gave up billions of dollars from Meta and “voluntarily” moved back to Beijing? One country does things out in the open, while the other operates in the shadows. The latter worries me more.

You will be fine. China will have this capability soon.

Just a few days ago, NASA unveiled its plan to establish a permanent base on the Moon: https://www.nasa.gov/ignition/

NASA finally got a leader with a clear vision, and with technologies like Starship and Blue Origin's New Glenn getting ready, the future is bright!

ISS is no longer the frontier, and I am glad NASA is focusing its resources on the future.

According to https://robotaxitracker.com/ there are 7 unsupervised robotaxi in Austin right now.

Not just for business. All foreigners in China must register their stay with the local police. Large hotels handle the registration automatically through their electronic reporting systems. However, if you’re staying at a friend’s home or another private residence, you need to go to the local police station and register in person.

Traditional buttons and knobs are not the solution. Voice control with local LLM will be the future.

Imagine if a round-trip flight from the US to Europe didn’t cost $500, but only $5, unbelievable, right? This is exactly what Starship will do to space travel. Many things we see in sci-fi, like lunar and Martian cities or orbital cruise ships, could soon become reality.

Personally, I can’t wait to see a massive, kilometer-wide telescope in space or nestled in a crater on the Moon. We might finally figure out dark matter, dark energy, anti-gravity.

Yes it's open to everyone. South Padre Island would be your best bet.

From Wiki [1]: SpaceX spent its own capital to develop and fly its previous launcher, Falcon 1, with no pre-arranged sales of launch services. SpaceX developed Falcon 9 with private capital as well, but did have pre-arranged commitments by NASA to purchase several operational flights once specific capabilities were demonstrated.

Many YC founders did the same thing. They worked on their own startups with no salary under a student visa, and applied for H1B/O1 visas once they got funding. Is this illegal?

SpaceX did get government contracts, but not subsidies, and saved NASA and US Taxpayers lots of money.

Not just Elon Musk, there are so many talented Engineers at SpaceX, and they are doing the hard work day in and day out.

In the space industry, the US is so much ahead of everyone else. SpaceX is the long pole in the tent, but there are many other startups doing cool stuff.

On top of that, Temu doesn't pay import tariffs. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/28/1241357550/import-tariff-loop...

"Reuters couldn't determine for every lien whether outstanding bills were owed by SpaceX or by one of its contractors who commissioned work or materials on its behalf."

Just think what kind of big telescopes we can send to space once Starships are launched regularly in a few years!

At the moment only 636 Teslas for sale. https://www.hertzcarsales.com/used-tesla.htm

Elon Musk said in his Twitter Space interview right after Starship test launch that SpaceX doesn't need to raise money for a while, other than letting employees cashing out some shares twice a year.

Do you know any mass produced car that has built in LIDAR?

not yet, but will be once SpaceX starts to mass launch their next-gen satellites that communicate with each other with laser.

Got ya. Right now it's html + js, a little easier to maintain. Pure js is definitely an option.

I've updated the code to make the modal shorter. The js code is cached so you won't see the change right away.

All the links should open a new tab. Which one did not?

Thank you for the feedbacks!

Thanks! I will make it shorter for the moment.

Yes you are right, this can be done in client side javascript, but the downside is that it can't be updated. I do plan to add more tools down the road.

> Technically the companies are allowed to operate in China

So you are saying they are not blocked by the GFW?

Meanwhile, Congress is trying to slow down SpaceX https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/05/congress-fires-warni...

Not surprised. Marty Walsh is a former Union boss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Walsh_(politician)

The sad thing is, there is >0% chance that CCP will invade Taiwan one day using the weapon that TSMC help them build.

As an entrepreneur and a nerd, I can't count over the years how many times I was overly excited and too optimistic. I hope people and the main stream media are not this harsh to people who are trying to change the world. Look at how hard Elon works. Just extend his estimate by 10 years and let him and his team work his ass off. If by 2030, we have electric cars that drive safer and better than normal human beings, I'd call it a win.
