right but unless you sign a contributor licensing agreement when you contribute then the copyright owner can’t relicense code you contributed.

so if you contribute to a GPL codebase it’s pretty legally perilous to try to unilaterally relicense code that isn’t “yours”.

this is pretty nebulous territory anyways, but I’d argue it’s pretty unethical to relicense to a more restrictive license essentially “taking” the GPL code from contributors

Yes, with the current network this is true. I guess it feels like you’re discounting the future growth of the constellation

Beam steering largely mitigates most of these problems. Fiber is definitely more scalable, but also far more expensive (somehow…) to provide last mile to the entire planet.

that might as well be AI generated. there are no numbers, just some dumb matrix with arbitrary reasoning and now evidence. I’m all for evidence to the contrary, but this is not that

You seem to know a lot about these limits, can you elaborate?

I don’t think there are actual physics limitations on network capacity right now

ah. tailscale is great for that. I personally just leave my home assistant exposed behind a reverse proxy

You don’t need anything other than home assistant though, right? the companion apps already just do that

Google map’s location sharing does not even impact battery life.

This actually is quite fuzzy and depends on your country and even jurisdiction in your country

I only use SponsorBlock because I do not use adblock. I pay for YT Premium, and YT Premium views are worth far more than ad-driven views. I don’t like paying for something and seeing ads so I skip sponsor spots

You’re looking for a “gotcha” but my whole point is that people are judging SpaceX entirely on Elon being involved, rather than it’s actual merits.

My opinion shouldn’t matter here.

Please read a bit about Gwynne Shotwell. She’s amazing and runs the company very competently.

SpaceX ≠ Elon Musk

I think it’s not fair to say that iteration doesn’t ever include any steps back. Development isn’t always straightforward and it doesn’t always go perfectly.

repeating the same thing does not make your point stronger

This is not evidence to the contrary, especially when the company is intentionally trying to find the limits on a development article.

Falcon 9 (the only rocket they actually sell launches on) is one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the world.

I hate to be this guy, but this is just… not true. That’s not how this works at all. How is the government giving SpaceX money outside of a contract? They aren’t.

Everyone wants to find a reason to hate SpaceX because Musk, but the truth is SpaceX is a well-ran innovative company.
