Little Andy we call him.


I'm 100% certain that SpaceX is happy for more outside work that actually pays them instead of changing numbers internally.


So, send some random noise to somebody you don't like and claim that it's encrypted with some foreign algorithm?


For most Finns (bar the self-employed, business owners, and the very rich) filing taxes is like 15 minutes per year when you want to add some deductions the tax man wouldn't already know about.

It's literally 0 minutes, if you don't have deductions.


Not sure how to read this, but have you heard of the Mariana Trench?


Yeapp, that kettle got Hackernewsed SO badly!


Eh, I'll buy it from a discount sale in two to four years if they've fixed all the bugs.

Don't do this, though, I need you to buy it fresh so that new games continue to be made.


Yeah, that's messed up. Instead one should take the amount that the manager manages to improve over the baseline.

Which might be impossible to measure.


Bloody Hell, that was the best thing since the Falcon Heavy!

Amazing, flying wheat silo!


Fast iteration. Not aware of anyone else doing that with 50m tall 9m wide rockets.


Furthermore, fast iteration that isn't averse to failure. While they do what they can to make each test a success, they don't let it turn into a black hole of time, money, and manpower. They're willing to say, "yeah, that's good enough", test, and make the most of every aspect of the test.

Where a more traditional aerospace company would go out of their way to avoid failures at any step, SpaceX embraces them so long as nobody is endangered in the process.
