Data centers in space are a hilariously bad idea. Where would the heat go? This idea is like the opposite of liquid cooling.

I didn't say it was a good idea, just that if Musk perceives it's a good idea then it makes sense why he would want to combine the two businesses.

Well surely this acquisition is above board. Nothing funny going on here, just good old business as usual.

It's widely reported that Musk is a majority shareholder of xAI and the controlling shareholder of SpaceX (close to 80% of voting shares). Not surprising that he would be looking to consolidate ownership under one entity especially if he perceives significant synergies (i.e., data centres in space).

Hopefully this will mean a lot more liquidity coming back into the venture ecosystem in the next year.

To be honest, few people here in London bother with taxis. Public transport is very good, can be faster than sitting in traffic, and is cheaper. Most folks ordering taxis either don't know where they are going, missed the last train or are wealthy enough to not care about the cost. Uber literally made no impact on the quality if life to your average Londoner and won't be missed.

I could not disagree more - often times, especially if travelling with multiple people it is far more convenient, comfortable and can even be more affordable than taking public transport. While I agree that London has great public transport, Uber has been a game changer for myself and many people I know.

I took the list of 4 thousand odd cities from the UN statistics report of cities over 100k and then ran it through the batch geocoding site: http://www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com/ ... apart from that just old fashioned excel to calculate
