This is incorrect. Inspiration4 sent astronauts they trained. This was largely true for the Axiom mission as well, and will be for the Polaris missions.
I wouldn't say so. If anything his companies are doing better than ever. Tesla is doubling revenue / deliveries YoY with insane gross margins and just opened 2 new factories on 2 continents. SpaceX is sending a new batch of Starlink satellites is going up literally every week, and they've sent over 20 people to LEO and back (could you imagine if we had to rely on Russia for this today?!).
Not to mention that the autopilot program is full of a ton of really smart & hard working people who put their soul into their work, because the lives saved by bringing the product to fruition will be astronomical. They are making real practical progress on AI systems -- better than can be said of much of academia & industry.
I think they might be talking more specifically about the story about a SpaceX flight attendant being pressured to get her massage license, only for Musk to eventually expose himself to her and offer to buy her a horse in exchange for sex
My only 2c is that the WFH vs office conversation often seems to pretend that there aren't a ton of businesses with desk workers where many of their colleagues can't feasibly work from home -- manufacturing for example. It's not even only the people physically building the products who obviously have to be there, but even mechanical engineers have a reason to.
My job is to build software to make the lives of the people building our product better. I'd prefer myself and my team to be there with them frequently, instead of considering ourselves to be part of some class of special people that have the luxury of working at home most of the time.
That said, I do appreciate the flexibility of being able to work from home for house maintenance, deliveries, family stuff, etc.
Beyond all that, going into the office (or factory really) is energizing. Too much time at home and I get reminded of CGP Grey's "spaceship you" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snAhsXyO3Ck

there's a balance. I would consider being on site as a special case; do it when needed. This means the workplace needs to plan it out, and know ahead of time when it is going to happen.
1) The subreddit of my alma mater has been full of posts venting anxiety, depression, trouble with financial aid, trouble making friends, frustration with administration, etc for years now, exacerbated by COVID. While that may not be representative of the whole undergrad population, I can't help but be reminded of Thiel's line from Zero to One "Why are we doing this to ourselves?"
2) I'm now seeing not only friends without bachelors degrees get well-paying CS jobs with "engineer" titles & equity comp, but even some in mechanical engineering!
3) When I was in undergrad, half of my upper div classes were so abysmal that I figured the staff who cared enough to keep the enterprise going were fighting a losing battle. A complete rewrite would be better than an in place one. "Death is the best invention of life" and we should try the creative destruction of capitalism/evolution instead of holding the oldest institutions in the highest regard.
I don't have much of a clue what the future will look like by the time I have kids of college age, but I do not think particularly highly of what we've got now.
These kind of prognostications /opinions are easily falsifiable by talking to your coworkers that went to other universities. Most of the top-25 schools have upper-div CS classes that are nothing like what you're taking about, with both faculty and TAs putting in enormous effort to make sure that courses are accessible and intellectually stimulating.
I think the point is that the official statistic averages all leases—not just new ones. If so, it will lag quite a bit behind changes in the market and not reflect the price you can expect to pay if you're currently shopping for an apartment and not grandfathered in on an existing lease.
Not really. There is an “unmaintained” paid plug-in (unmaintained in the sense of not being updated since a year and advertising compatibility with Sublime 2 and 3 only).
