Elon Musk said that a $100,000 hypothetical price point for a ticket on his shuttles to Mars should be affordable for most people. Unless you have better things to do with $100,000

It might be affordable for those who have a good reason to go to Mars (researchers, long-term residents, etc.). OTOH, I can think of much more enjoyable ways to blow $100,000 than spending a few months in a tin can.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The 'anyone can afford' is really aimed at permanent residents. Once you sell your house on Earth, you've got tons of money for a ticket and then your new home on Mars.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This was my thought as well.

Elon's explicitly said as much before. The cost of the trip needs to be low enough that it becomes part of what you spend to "buy a house" (really a tiny condo I suspect) on Mars.

Almost everyone can afford Tesla Model 3 for $50K+ (plus fees probably north of $60K). Somehow I think it's a luxury item. Feels like the richest's man on Earth perceptions and views are slightly skewed. But may be it's just me...

Sure. If you live and work in Silicon Valley, don’t own or rent a home, and sleep in spare bedrooms of friends’ houses like Elon Musk claims he does, you will have $100,000 to spare.

There are effective ways leadership can support a developer-centric culture. The more this culture is embraced, the more successful a company’s and the industry’s engineers will be. Pizza and Mountain Dew?

Microsoft is getting ready to end support of the Office 2013 app suite released more than nine years ago. The company recently notified its customers about its plans to stop releasing security patches, so they have enough time to upgrade to newer releases. Time to start ignoring the deadline

So it will finally be safe to reinstall it again? It has finally become a mature product?

In October, NASA used this mind-boggling, futuristic mechanism to bring NASA flight surgeon Dr. Josef Schmid onto the International Space Station while he was safely planted on our planet. No rockets necessary. "Please state the nature of the medical emergency."

Microsoft says Windows 10, version 21H2 (aka the November 2021 Update) is now designated for broad deployment, making it available to everyone via Windows Update. Is this an update to Windows 11?
I mean, 21 is higher than 11, right?

Microsoft has a bold new release. It was years in development and required all the beta testing and version tweaks one would expect of a hot new app or software package. But this new product is no app. It’s a wok. It looks like you're trying to make a stir fry. Do you want help with that?

Remember, electricity is magic; it just appears. It's also cool that you can specify what your source of electricity will be and that's what you get (while your neighbors get that nasty stuff.)

I am not saying that you should reject everything you’ve learned and cultivated over the years, but rather - you should learn how to communicate those things to someone who hasn’t had that same experience of learning and cultivation as you. See program. See program run. Run, program run.
