> Now if you worked at SpaceX and worked on testing their flight systems, then I'd be more inclined to trust you

Wow that's harsh. You may want to add a bit of sugar to that; it's not nice addressing fellow developers like that. Just a thought.

I'm sorry i'll have to mention that the software can be thoroughly tested in simulation flights. Funnily enough i was involved with some virtualisation software used to test booking systems for Airports. If you can virtualise a booking systems, trust me you can virtualise the on-board flights systems.

That’s why you need good humans who’re expert at responding extremely well when things break. It’s one thing to prep for a whiteboard interview, it’s another to intuit that needle in the haystack.

I don't really get why when it comes to crypto energy consumption, the discussion board becomes reactionary. I mean portugal is now running on 100% renewables. Shouldn't this point be more about renewables? You know, what about the electric car? That'll consume lots of energy too.

I happen to know an exec in gold mining (we had a brief fling), and she mentioned they do see bitcoin as a clear competitor to gold.

For what that's worth.

At the risk of sounding pedantic too, crypto is short for both cryptography and cryptocurrency. Knowing which one it refers to is inferred from context.

Tesla is already established in the business of luxury electric cars. It's the low cost ones that seem to be the challenge.

What's I dislike the most about this situation is that I cannot even shut down my yahoo email account, as it could be re-created by someone else, i.e hijacked.

It's also terrible that such bad password policies are being pushed onto users, yet no guarantee of security is associated with them.
