Ah yes. One of them got $2.6B for six flights. The other one got $4.2B for six flights.
One of them flew six flights successfully, got contract extended further to 14 flights for a total of 4.93 billion. They also flew other paying customers seven times.
In that time, the second one flew once with astronauts, and had so many problems that they ended up coming home on the first guy's spacecraft.

Weird. I must have been imagining the Falcon 9 launching more mass to orbit this year than the entirety of the rest of the planet. More than all the flights of the Space Shuttle program combined.
Does the Netflix number include the energy cost of manufacturing all the cameras/equipment used for production? Energy for travel for all the crew involved to the location? Energy for building out the sets?
The Netflix number is probably not counting all the energy spent producing the shows/movies, building all the cameras/specialized equipment, building their data centers etc. either.
It is fair to compare inference to streaming. Both are done by the end user.
I have encountered at least one bug at $job which was tracked down to x87 instructions. Our "production" build is deployed on embedded ARM CPUs while we have test builds compiled for x86 (32-bit) and x86_64 (different subsets of functionality). Anyway, the bug only showed up in the 32-bit x86 build. The same code worked fine in production and in the 64-bit test builds.
It turned out to be an x87 bug where a piece of code was actually computing the wrong answer!. Logically following the code would make you think that the particular failure in question would never happen - and yet it did. That was quite a rabbit-hole to go into to figure out.

Molon Labe. Until then, we will continue to boast, and above your "private" crater-gardens (that we will keep taking pictures of), the stars will belong to us.
I second that. Switched from ynab4 (used some version since 2011) to Actual Budget a few month ago. Some tiny ux issues, but improvement in many more areas. Don't regret finally kicking ynab out.
Odd, earlier this week I was cleaning up some ooooold VMs/docker stuff and came across something I was using to try out actualbudget, so it's an interesting coincidence hearing it mentioned again today.
IIRC I was pretty impressed with it back then. It looks like there are more non-direct install options now. (Flatpack, appimage, etc.)

In the page:
"If FSD (Supervised) was active at any point within five seconds leading up to a collision event, Tesla considers the collision to have occurred with FSD (Supervised) engaged for purposes of calculating collision rates for the Vehicle Safety Report."
They are pretty open about how the stats are reported.
The driver can at any time. And they do if it seems like it is going to do something stupid - which is getting rarer and rarer as time goes on. As a Level 2 system, the driver is always supposed to supervise the operation and stay alert.
Musk has proven time and again that things his critics say are impossible/unrealistic ends up being achieved late. See anything from reusing rocket stages to the goals from Tesla's 2018 Compensation Plan[1] ("If Mr. Musk were somehow to increase the value of Tesla to $650 billion — a figure many experts would contend is laughably impossible and would make Tesla one of the five largest companies in the United States ...")
Or the Arianespace guy saying SpaceX is "selling a dream". To quote: "I think a $5 million launch or a $15 million launch is a bit of a dream. Personally, I think reusability is a dream."

I will let you figure out who is who.
Consistent delivery at all levels indeed.
