Delta IV heavy looks pretty similar to the Falcon Heavy approach. I would imagine there was some knowdgle transfer there.
That being said, SpaceX is taking a much more pragmatic and efficient approach to building rockets with far less bureaucracy. This is the epitome of private sector efficieny over government projects.

Sunset Magazine. They have high quality content about living, eating, and traveling in the West (western US).
Almost all of my other content digest is tech focused, so it’s nice to have something a little different once a month.

Many of the homeless people in SF probably escaped the cold Chicago winters too.
Due to nice weather, California cities have to support many of the Midwest’s homeless population. To compensate, there should be a lot more federal funding for homelessness.

Money in banks is FDIC insured. I believe that protects it from things like hacks, even if the bank itself went bankrupt.
