Have you heard about Mastodon?
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon
It's like a decentralized version of Twitter, with federalization. Might need to find a instance that's not busy with signups though.

Last I checked, that was not published in a peer-reviewed journal.
And even disregarding the fact that this statement is a red herring, using your logic, there's a 2% chance that someone else could win. That means there is still a chance, no matter how small.

Obama (for the most part) went after National Security leakers, IIRC.
Trump seems to be going after any federal agency that does not pursue goals that he wants.

Someone more knowledgeable then me can probably answer this, but under ITAR, can SpaceX contract a Mars launch with another nation on friendly terms with the USA?

No? If it becomes affordable enough, why can't we do it?
And why are you being a armchair psycho-analyst? Have you examined/talked to them personally?

On the ArsTechnica liveblog, they said the talks a few minutes late but should be starting soon.
Re:Is Tesla telling us the truth over autopilot spat?

/r/TeslaMotors dug up this video[1] of MobilEye CEO talking about the Autopilot, so if they really disagreed with the usage of Autopilot, shouldn't they have brought that up prior, and not included it in promotional material. From all indications on their end, I believe that they said that the Tesla Autopilot shouldn't be driven hands-free. I have no qualms with that, but why then use the Autopilot as a promotional feature for their products? Not trying to fanboy with Tesla here, as I do think that MobilEye was right in pulling their products away from Tesla.
