@arstechnica Rocketry is hard, the fact that SpaceX has it down to an (almost) fine art, makes it easy to forget for many, just how incredibly difficult the engineering is...They'll have this solved and sorted pretty quickly to everyones satisfaction,, to that I have no doubt.
@rbreich It has perplexed me for a long time when people say "tax the wealthy" but they balk at a flat tax where everyone would pay a percentage without loopholes.
@rbreich
I remember both times you kneecapped Hillary Clinton, and long before that, Al Gore.
At one time I respected you, but I realized at some point it was only because of your flowery mastery of language, rather than the quality or value of your opinion.
@arstechnica One wonders why we even report on such things anymore. (/s) Republicans only like something if it makes life more difficult or impossible for minorities.
@arstechnica I seriously can't see how people can't see that calls for privatizing things with no limits won't result in, well, no limits. In such a system it's not lowest bid wins, it's everyone finds the absolute highest bid they can get away with and then just focus on marketing to convince people their way overpriced service is better than the other way overpriced service. Marketing works a lot better than pricing for competition it seems because that's just how humans are.
@arstechnica I really love that you are on Mastodon, but since the timeline is pure here, dumping 12 articles at the same time, kind of spams my timeline. Is there some way you can avoid the article dump? On topic : Apple Arcade - I love the pick-up-and-play vibe of it - More Indie/experimental, is better suited for PC or Consoles imho, but it'd be good for Apple to get one fresh knock-out hit game on the service.
