Weaponized against what?

Power is solar and cooling is radiators. They did the math on it, its feasible and mostly an engineering problem now.


The original article even addresses this directly. Plus hardware returns over fast enough that you'll simply be replacing modules with a smattering of dead servers with entirely new generations anyways.


Really? Even radiation hardened hardware? Aren’t there way higher size floors on the transistors?


Don't forget "Lt Col. commissions will be bought."


>They are literally there to sell their products (and brag about "having served").

Gets you free priority boarding on all flights you take.


Some airline someday is going to figure out that if you guarantee overhead luggage space, people will pay more to get on the plane last instead of first.


I've long thought this for economy tickets.

But if you really want to pay more, and are flying on higher fares, getting on the plane first turns back into a perk cause you get some free booze. And your seat is now more comfortable than the airport seats (even many airport lounge seats, where the best seats can go quickly when it's busy).


First class effectively has guaranteed overhead space, and you still see them boarding first so they can get champagne.


Not sure it’s relevant in the cloths these guys take


Does this count as "Bought Valor?"

Kevin Weil, that tracks...


Are they buying their position?


Yes.


Get those sweet "Veteran" plates.

In my state that only requires a DD-214 with honorable discharge and $50.


Yappy one?

Inertia.


I don't agree. What do you think enterprises should be using instead?

C# and that ecosystem is much more Windows-focused, which makes it quite unsuitable for server development in general. Go is the last dying gasp of 1970s programmers who can't let go of explicit pointer management and Tony Hoare's notorious billion dollar mistake. JavaScript and Typescript are not serious contenders except in the browser.

That starts to leave more niche languages. Languages such as Rust and Haskell, much as I love them personally, are not viable for the average enterprise developer.

The widespread use of Java in enterprises is far more than simply inertia. It's probably one of the more rational choices that those companies have collectively made.


They pulled Jared Isaacman because it was revealed he had donated to Democrats.


That was their excuse. But they probably knew it already upfront, and of course Trump himself has done so and obviously knows that rich people donate to both parties just to cover their bases and that it means relatively little.

I think it's more likely that Jared was pulled at the suggestion of some staffers that never liked him or Musk in the first place but weren't able to get their way with Trump as long as Musk was still around.


Nah thats bait and the simple answer. Nothing to do with musk it was all known before the relations. Space was not ready for Jared and it denied him. Wonder why? Well if you do a little digging you will see he has some really bad news about him. Like no person on Earth would want to work with him when they listen to what comes out of his mouth. I wonder if there are recordings of him there sure is a book of his actions.


Basically they pulled a fast one on Musk, who believed that with his giant (300$ million give or take) donation would be able to get his preferred candidate to NASA.

The fact that he was quite competent and generally liked doesn’t matter to Trump, who seems set on defunding NASA and having someone there who won’t complain.


They knew that from the start. He pretty much said himself it was a retaliation in the Musk/Trump situation.


That's pretty amusing, considering Trump spent decades as a NY Democrat.


Rules for thee, not for me.


Elon too, until 2022.
