This is exactly how I read it until working my way through this thread.


It wasn’t a bail out, it was an opportunity for investors to get great terms on equity at a crucial juncture for the company.


A government bail out isn't the exclusive use of the phrase "bail out", it was both a bail out and an opportunity for investors to get great terms on equity.


IMHO it’s a corrupt line of thinking for a founder to not pay their employees. Even if they do raise the round (chances are they won’t) then you won’t want to work for these founders anyway as they’ve shown they are not capable of treating their employees fairly.


That may be the case, but still keen for a source referencing that particular usage…


I think you missed the "/s". There's no way the Space Shuttle Launch System has enough delta v to reach the moon. For one, the need the IUS or another booster on satellites released by the Space Shuttle that need to make it to geosynchronous orbit, which is still significantly less delta v than a translunar orbit.


they rendezvoused with a separately launched fuel supply while in earth orbit


From what I can find online HQ is in AU, and is staying in AU?


And when you are not blacklist


The Yandex filing spends a significant amount of text reiterating they’re not on a blacklist though


Hahaha


I don’t understand why this is news worthy. You could replace “Vaccine Makers” with almost any sector as well…


When did an active software engineer last get elected to use their skills as a politician in your electorate?


Ministers get appointed not elected


He was elected as a member of parliament, then nominated by the prime minister and approved by parliament as a minister.


Sure - but if they really want to go their local bar, you can either expose your computer to dark web to buy a certificate, or just go and get a free shot…

Whilst your comment is factual, I think it doesn’t make sense in the context. The barrier to purchasing a certificate off the dark web is high and require a fair amount of financial and personal conviction / exposure…


You can also bribe a doctor/nurse to "vaccinate" you, no barrier here.


Again, this comment doesn’t make sense in the context either… I responded to the difficulty of conducting a transaction on the dark web - you respond with comparing the dark web to a persona bribe?! I don’t understand why people seem to throw logical debate out the window when it comes to covid… I get that for some people it’s a personal affront, but in my opinion that’s no excuse to just throw logical processing out the window.


My answer explained is: you were right the dark web is a high barrier, because there exist simple ways to overcome the certificate mandate - like bribery.


Why do you say "free shot", while side-effects (short and long term) can't be ruled out on an individual basis.


Neither can be death, hospitalization, or long covid...


According to our government 1/5000 gets a serious myocarditis infection. With two shots thats 1/2500.
