Yeah, early on. The commenter doesn't know what they're talking about.

Says the man behind Thiel capital.

My point was that hard and fast startup tactics don't guarantee success (WRT the starship project), and mostly have little to do with whether a project succeeds or fails at all.

Over half of all startups fail within 5 years. In the space industry it's much much worse. Although as long as SpaceX has cash I guess they'll just keep on trucking.

What is the main value of link analysis? As far as cause and effect and the larger picture (especially WRT the time domain), a lot of it seems like reading signs in chicken gizzards. The more you put in, the less sense they make.

There's only so much useful information to be gleaned from this kind of geometry. Fingering out and tracing cause and effect is just about impossible.

I wish someone would come up with a half decent top-down timeline creation and analysis tool.

That is the what lies at the rotten heart of capitalism.

I mean, people say a lot of horseshit about what capitalism is or isn't ("I'm a capitalist because I'm for making money and profits.", etc), or creating a fake context where the only alternative is ownership by the state.

But at the end of the day it's about the worker employer relationship, period, end of story.

Sweet. Border's been shut down, but contacts within the Ovis aries antifacist underground have already informed me that measures have been put in place. Before it's safe for him to come out he will be entombed in a giant mound of sheep shit, which they assure me is electromagnetically impermeable and should stop him calling for help.

Bit cringey when Seneca's mansplaining to a mother struggling with son's death why she shouldn't be so gloomy.
