Trump's opposition to the CHIPS Act is detrimental to the US. The CHIPS Act is one of the best, most important pieces of legislation in the last half-century. Abandoning the ability to make integrated circuits in the US during an AI boom would be detrimental

@YourMomDave1 @ShooterMcDadden @SpaceX if that were true, they could just cut the engines and let the drag from the fins settle the fuel before re-lighting the engine. the pressure drop from cooling the gas with the slosh is the only reason you have to go through all of this.

@xilinx @ShooterMcDadden @SpaceX Actually regardless of pressure, the fuel must be kept at the bottom to keep it from sloshing around. And the reason it needs to be kept at the bottom of the tank is because that's how the engines are fed. If you don't have them constantly fed, they run empty and melt.

@ShooterMcDadden @SpaceX The fuel must be held to the bottom of the rocket since they didn't use helium to maintain pressure. The internal pressure would drop if the fuel sloshed up, causing an implosion

@SpaceX Beautiful shots! 3 center engines remain on for control?

@meharris @tim_wdev @forstall_ @SteveP92104114 Yet your false information is still quoted to this day. Congratulations on being part of the death of journalism. You certainly struck a strong blow. You could have asked some unbiased sources before publishing, but that does not produce more clicks

@tim_wdev @forstall_ @SteveP92104114 sorry guys. Some of the data in those older stories is definitely outdated now. Always best to work from my (and others) stories for the most recent data.

A lot of false info in LVCC loop wiki. No, there is no 1,200 p/h peak fire code limit and the highest p/h is about 3,000. Average trip time is 2-3 minutes mostly. All this is coming from outdated and flat out wrong Techcrunch articles. #Las_Vegas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Borin…

@elonmusk @Rogozin maybe we can get some exemptions in the sanctions for some trampolines. they seem safer than his latest spacecraft anyway.

@boringcompany is it electric? what diameter is it?

Prufrock-2 is alive in Texas

@NPRKelly , why are you framing the debate as biden's big spending versus Republicans restraint? Republicans spend more than Democrats

@eevblog Dave, why no consideration for solar cells? you could have someone 3d print a new lid with solar cell mounts. use a Schottky to combine with lithium thionyl cell (and shunt so you don't "charge" your battery). lithium thionyl+solar, you could hit 10k hours easily, maybe 100k.

@torybruno , we want BE-4 test videos. give the people what they want

Economies and societies do better with stability. vote for stability.

@elonmusk the development date of viable nuclear fusion. it's always 20yrs away until it happens. REBCOs might change the world

What can’t we predict?

@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @elonmusk brings a smile to my face every time I see it.

Well. It happened 🤯 that grain silo just flew 🤯 what an insane site to see. Standby for 4K slow mo later tonight 😍 great work @SpaceX / @elonmusk!!!! Let’s see 3 raptors now 😈

@elonmusk @InSpaceXItrust @RationalEtienne a 2nd-gen prototype?

@InSpaceXItrust @RationalEtienne Sure, we will aim to do a cross-country drive with Cybertruck later this year

Tesla will make fabulous short shorts in radiant red satin with gold trim

@elonmusk , what was the pressure of the SN7 before bottom blow-out?

@GarethDennis @AirWaterSnow @boringcompany all you've shown is that you ignore facts and simply cherry-pick numbers that support your foregone conclusion. LVCC is required to operate 4k+ pph, you ignore that. they've said 8-16p veh for years, you ignore that. they've never said they would be 150mph at all times. hackery

@xilinx @AirWaterSnow @boringcompany Nope. The two are interlinked. I have used the engineering and maths to show why Loop is bonkers. I am using the wider context to show why the things you say will make it less bonkers are fiction.

Every now and then you see tidbits of how useless the @BoringCompany's Loop proposals are. If you ignore the typo in this piece (it should say 1200 pax/hr not per day), what this actually tells us is that their system has a throughput of 100 vehicles/hr. mercurynews.com/2020/06/04/elo…

@GarethDennis @AirWaterSnow @boringcompany but you haven't shown that. please explain why a lane of highway where each vehicle carries 12 passengers cannot meet the demand needed for low to medium volume transit. you've been making counter-factual assumptions about vehicle size and speed in your above argument. try again

@GarethDennis @AirWaterSnow @boringcompany to me, we have a world too full of personality hate/worship, and that we should strive for objectivity whenever possible.

@GarethDennis @AirWaterSnow @boringcompany why do you decide to put more weight on individuals/personalities than objective/technical logic and math? if you put the obj/tech 1st, you would have to acknowledge that Loop, as a concept, would work well for low to medium volume transportation (a highway full of 12p EVs)

@GarethDennis @AirWaterSnow @boringcompany this speculative arguing isn't helping anyone learn anything, it's just showing some personal bias you have. TBC has said all along that they plan 8-16 passenger vehicles. it's not intellectually honest to ignore that based off of a single render.

@xilinx @AirWaterSnow @boringcompany This piece is about another project, and frankly I fully expect that BoCo have just made up the minivans thing to get onto tender lists.

@AirWaterSnow @GarethDennis @boringcompany not sure why you think recharging is a problem. they would use as many vehicles as they need to meet ridership spec. for LVCC, that would likely be 20-30 vehicles because it's short. peak hourly ridership, divided by pass/veh, divided by ave trips per hour. not rocket science.

@GarethDennis @xilinx @boringcompany But hiw many cars will they use.? N thats their priblem. More they use the. More recharges the more safety distance etc
