Is there a book with all the info this has?

So nothing on the ISS then?

Really cool idea but not ideal for tourists. I just tried where I live and it mostly gave me a list of housing developments and roads. Nothing actually interesting, and there definitely are interesting things!

Post #3 today. It's certainly saving me time

It would be weird I guess.

Well, maybe not submersible, but if it could even float and move in water it essentially becomes a boat which I don't need to explain is a practical mode of transport.

How many times have you been in traffic waiting to cross a bridge or driving around a body of water wishing you could just go over it?

All three seats??? I didn't know that

Ice nine. Hooray

Hopping over a line of cars is only useful if you know there's nothing in front. In an accident this just means a rear end impact becomes an entirely more dangerous accident where one car is falling from the sky onto several more

> At most it makes you fall in the water in the correct orientation.

They showed a still of the submarine car from James Bond as inspiration for this.

That's the roadster they should have built. This compressed air jumping thing is impractical and dangerous and will never be road legal. But a submersible car would have actual practical uses, increase survivability in several accident situations and not face the same regulatory hurdles.

If they were actually trying to build something cool I think that would be the play, but everything Elon does now is to bump stock price

Maith an fear, Seán

I don't know why you would do this when there are free open source solutions out there that do not use credits.

I'm still waiting for eink tattoos. Imagine how cool it would be to have a watch in your skin

The scarier one for me is this happened with a nuclear warhead in I think Carolina, it was buried in impact without going off, and they never found the core

It does look to be. What does pool mean?

Meta or motto?

My problem isn't really filtering out the AI (there's plenty of options for that) is just the void left by people posting and working on AI things, writing about how AI is great, stupid, useful, useless.

I know it's the nature of HN to be centered (nay, fixated) on the latest things, but I think I'm the wake of so much AI content, the people who would have otherwise done something else are doing AI things or posting elsewhere

As others have pointed out there are still fun things, but I feel like there are quantifiably fewer things that I enjoy on here, every week.

I used to love scrolling hn first thing in the morning and now I rarely do

My guess would be cost. Glass is cheaper and with sanctions and the economic strain of war I'm sure everyone in Russia is trying to cut corners

Anyone here still using this?

Unsurprising. I think we all suspect this is happening.

Although I've not spent any time on daily beast, now after a minute or two scrolling other stories it seems quite sensationalist and tabloid like

Those were bowling pins, it was all fake

I'm sure this is not the origin, but Bez is a celebrity in England, a member of a 90s band called happy Mondays who didn't sing or play anything but just danced. Famous on the panel show circuit

But can it dance

When I made this comment I was unaware that this most recent launch had in fact also ended in an explosion.

I guess the next defense will be it only exploded after safely delivering payload

The Undetectables by Courtney Smyth. A ghost and a bunch of magical teenagers solve paranormal mysteries

Jev noob here. I'm seeing all this jev talk and I understand the difference between this and normal models, but what are some actual use cases for jev?

Also European, also an optimist.

I just am surprised by how often this thing blows up and how much success is claimed.

I can't think of another field where the thing you're building exploding 25% of the time is considered progress. Even missiles :)

I don't own any stock and I don't care about stock prices.

You've pointed out 4 of 14 starship flights experienced explosions, and this was to argue AGAINST my comment that every other one explodes. Internet actually says 5 failures out of 14 but let's say 4. Thats one in every 3.5 launches explodes, so far. Would you put on a spacesuit and get in one? I just find it harder and harder to buy that this thing is going to bring people to the moon in one piece, whatever about a million new starlink satellites or server farms in space or whatever

There are a lot of angry comments here talking about how I don't understand the company and they're super successful, and it's true that falcon 9 has a very low failure rate. But starship has a very high one and I don't think Im out of line to say that.

I'm sure people who raised concerns about the cybertruck were also yelled at about how great the other Tesla vehicles are, and damn if this thing doesn't feel like the cybertruck of space

You're confusing demo with technology.

The potential to lose weight, in this context, is the original post because there was potential but it wasn't shown

This commenter is the person who lost 13kg.

The technology is not different but the demonstration is more impressive

Is nobody concerned about putting things in a ship that explodes every other time they launch it
