Ah damn good point forgot leftists had actually lost their minds and forgot that abstaining from voting is basically endorsing whoever wins

What are the systemd bugs that are so bad?
I kinda get the bloated comment, but I don't really mind when it serves its purpose

That's interesting. I've never had any issues with systemd directly mainly with poorly setup default configs
I'm a big fan of a centralised place to manage services. Works super well with podman quadlets

But I'm not too invested use whatever works for you I reckon

That might be the case right? Let's say there a percentage chance that would have succeeded call it 10%

Now your first attempt fails, maybe because of some miscalculation or lack of engineering precision

Even if the older way more expensive version had a 100% success rate you'd probably still rather the cheaper version right?

Also not sure how this is about capitalism, replace the above for material cost and it's the same thing

So material waste can be directly tied to cost. If you're trying to bring down cost then you're going to try to reduce waste correct? That's why there is so much work being done for reusable launch vehicles

For space debris and pollution I don't think we can squarely blame capitalism. Under a purely communist economy there's no guarentee that anyone would care any more about it than currently
And you can attack that issue by a combination of penalising companies that create debris and rewarding those that remove it under a capitalist economy

As for it not being entirely comparable. Sure the government spent a lot of money on that early R&D. But do we think that if we banned companies from doing this kind of work that govt agencies like NASA would be necessarily more cost effective, cause less pollution, and less debris?

Do you have any data to back that up? It would be quite interesting

I don't think regulation is impossible to achieve, look at the EU. And what I am fairly sure of is you have better odds of passing regulation than replacing capitalism entirely

Not really no. It's not often that a stock is short sold really hard when there isn't an underlying reason
Otherwise large investors could regognise this and just take a long position. The short seller is then screwed if the price doesn't drop far enough and fast enough before their options expire
