The super heavy booster catch looks like it came directly out of KSP, a Mexican video game about making rockets, which many of the people working at @SpaceX today likely played as kids. The people building the launch complex in South Texas are largely Mexican Americans, and the…


To be clear the current debate in the United States is about subsidizing these evil companies for hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars.

4 days out from my life-changing surgery, @Aetna has denied the appeal for my brain surgery. to be clear, when i signed up to aetna months ago, the coordinator had confirmed they would cover this surgery. then, a week ago, they said the surgery was too experimental/elective and…

Late last month, our G1_Dallas factory set a new production record: 14 MW of solar panels in a single day. Do the math: that's a 5.1 GW annualized pace. Domestic solar. It's the path to American power. Thank you to our G1 workers!

The easiest way to be frequently correct is to find things that might not work and publicly declare that they won’t. There is no skill or unique insight in picking losers or being cynical. Being hopeful means frequently being wrong. I’m hopeful about substrate, and about all…

I live in Eindhoven, the ASML town. I was chatting with an employee at a gym last night. He works on the mechanical engineering side of the wafer table for EUV machines. The job is to align wafers to the source and ready it for exposure. The alignment needs to be accurate at a…

The idea of having one of these things in my house while I'm asleep terrifies me, especially when it's network connected. "Humanoid robot cages" *will* be a thing in the future. Consider how bad the security on every single IoT device was during that boom. That all said: want.

Data centers in orbit? Of course that’s your contention. Of course it is. You just finished watching a Scott Manley video on radiative heat transfer and now you think you’re gonna disrupt AWS with a few solar panels and a rideshare slot. You’re gonna believe that right up until…

I don't agree with him on much, but this is right. This is what we should be doing (at least).

Build them on military bases, skip NEPA. Reduce regulation on previous cited power generation plants. Incentivize and insure against cost overruns.

One solution for this problem is to rent an RV and park it outside the various wedding venues. Take shifts with your husband watching the baby. Or if it’s all taking place at a hotel, same thing but at the hotel. That said a child free wedding seems like outrageously bad luck…

Listening to @martyrmade first episode on WW1 and the horrors of trench warfare and I have decided to become even more radically anti war. My job as a father is to make sure my boys never, ever experience this. Ever.
