"SpaceX makes its historic stock market debut today, set to be the largest IPO of all time with a $1.77 trillion valuation. Elon Musk, founder and CEO, anticipates becoming the world's first trillionaire. Shares will go live at $135 each, potentially surging immediately due to high demand"<p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/12/business/live-news/spacex-goes-public-ipo" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/12/business/live-news/spacex-goe...</a>
"What we covered here
• SpaceX soared Friday in its blockbuster stock market debut, with shares gaining 19% after Wall Street’s biggest-ever IPO.
• The rocket and AI company, which Elon Musk founded in 2002, is now valued at over $2 trillion, joining Musk’s Tesla as one of the world’s top-ten most valuable companies.
• Musk, who owns nearly half the company’s stock, has now made history as the world’s first trillionaire."<p><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/spacex-ipo-trading-price-rcna349225" rel="nofollow">https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/spacex-ipo-tr...</a>
"For now, investors appear eager to overlook Musk’s politics and focus on his company.<p>Dan Hanson, a senior portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman, which invested in SpaceX while it was still private said investors should think of SpaceX not just as a rocket company, but as a combination of its launch business, Starlink satellite internet network and artificial intelligence ambitions.<p>“This team is just getting started,” he said. “There’s a significant opportunity for them to create value as they execute.”<p>I suspect the vast majority of americans are getting their news from cnn, fox, nbc, abc, pbs.... And I doubt a ton of them are reading the irish times, montana skeptic, or the verge.</p>

<p>Couldn't you make the same arguments for basically all other due process or privacy protections? I think I can accurately summarize your statement here to:<p><i>Mass Surveillance</i> deters crime and makes the job of law enforcement easier. I'm happy to live with <i>Mass Surveillance</i> because I don't think the drawbacks of having it aren't that bad, there are some benefits to me, and I trust institutions to implement safeguards.<p>Now replace <i>Mass Surveillance</i> with any of the following, and I think the your argument is the same:<p><pre><code>  - Warrantless Searches
  - Giving Police the ability to convict in the field
  - Permanent and mandatory position tracking for all citizens
  - Required public identities for all online activity</code></pre></p>

<p>It's funny how our perceptions are driven by the source of our news. I generally perceived the <i>positive</i> coverage in regular news as unrelenting. I know the tech news sources I read were constantly complaining about rule changes and manipulations on the part of Spacex, but run-of-the-mill national news outlets seem to be endlessly hyping the stock to the point that a few of my non tech-savvy family members were asking if they needed to buy it as soon as they went public.</p>

<p>>I just believe that there is going to be a MASSIVE increase in demand for high performing software professionals with experience... we just aren't seeing it right now because of the business cycle.<p>I'm pretty concerned for early career developers. The industry is failing them by 1) Allowing the early career devs to outsource their critical thinking to AI and 2) Actively hiring fewer early career devs because they're extracting more work from their existing develops with AI. They're failing themselves by relying too much on AI, and not developing those important long-term skills and intuitions.<p>For that reason I feel pretty safe in my (admittedly niche) career space, and have a similar prediction that in 5-10 years we will have created a experience gap that we can't fix. Experienced engineers with good troubleshooting and debug skills will be even more valuable.</p>

<p>Not defending the legitimately douchey things amazon does, but it explains it right in that article :<p>>In short, an Amazon listing features prices not only offered by Amazon, but by other sellers. Some of these sellers may offer the items at a lower price, but the order will not be fulfilled by Amazon and won’t be subject to Prime’s shipping discounts and faster delivery.<p>If you're a prime member and logged it, it will prioritize purchases fulfilled by amazon and delivered with prime delivery. If you click "Other sellers on amazon" there will sometimes be sellers that are cheaper with shipping than purchasing through prime.</p>

It's disappointing because the process is so rich with history and really interesting problems to solve but the zeitgeist is completely poisoned by prohibition-era propaganda.</p>

DO THE MATH!<p>This means the military can only have (2025-1983) * 57 = 2394 Tomahawks.<p>But the military says they have approximately 3000-4000 tomahawks in inventory. Is it a conspiracy? How could they POSSIBLY have more than 2394 if they can ONLY MAKE 57 PER YEAR?!<p>prompt: rite me article about US only can make 57 tomohok missels a year but looks lik they have moar than that</p>

The Navy requested only 57 missiles for fiscal year 2026, according to Defense Department budget documents.<p>So the rate of production has been low because the procurement rate has been low.</p>

<p>I suspect this is some light with chronically-bad timing that gets run by tons of people every day. The camera is taking a photo with a bunch of vehicles in the frame and it's ticketing the one that had the license plate unobstructed, even if a few of the vehicles in the frame technically entered the intersection when the light was yellow.<p>Sometimes lights are just so poorly implemented, and drivers pass through them so often, it feels like whoever designed the intersection was actively goading drivers into running the light.</p>
