This is a situation where having a backup tower is important. SpaceX had a big explosion during a Starship static fire about a year ago, but they made do with another tower while the long reconstruction began. (Reconstruction took 10 months.)

Also, SpaceX has taken a Falcon 9 tower mostly offline for about half a year so they could finish a backup Starship tower next to it. This reduced potential Falcon 9 launches by about 30% but Elon thought this was important to do. Think ahead, Elon does.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up the field of biology, tracking what’s happening inside cells.

Now these ubiquitous tools are getting a glow-up: their quantum properties are being harnessed to make them similar to the fundamental bits of quantum computing. “These fluorescent proteins that everybody uses as a fluorescent label can actually be turned into a qubit,” says Peter Maurer, a quantum engineer at the University of Chicago in Illinois. The idea “sounds very science fiction”, says Maurer. But the physics isn’t new, and the approach has already been shown to work in principle.

Fluorescent-protein labels are currently one of the most important tools in biology laboratories around the world. They can monitor the location and activity of proteins, sense conditions inside a cell, check whether drug candidates are targeting the right spots and carry out a range of other tasks. But adding a quantum twist offers up fresh and exciting possibilities, say researchers.

Quantum sensors can detect magnetic fields and are exquisitely sensitive, so protein versions might be able to pick up the tiny signals made by firing neurons or flows of ions, or spot minuscule quantities of free radicals that hint at cellular stress or serve as early signs of cancer. And researchers can turn these protein-based quantum sensors on and off remotely, making them useful tools for new imaging technologies and therapies.

The current situation where an imperfect AI on @X can permanently suspend you for “breaking” some unknown rule is ridiculous. It should initially give you a warning with whatever rule it thinks you broke. Facebook does both the warnings and a listing of the rule, meaning Zuckerberg actually cares more about providing a quality experience than X. There are tons of people who have been permanently suspended from X and/or simply locked out of their accounts when they have done nothing wrong.

@X needs to have at least the same level of support that @Starlink does or even better since @X is very important as the world’s public square. It would be best if all Premium and better accounts could easily contact a live human for support. (It could start with a bot interface but if the bot couldn’t help you, an agent would be there for you.) This option should also be for free accounts but in that case you would have to pay for the support.

With a value of around $1.5 trillion, X’s lack of support is not good for the brand.

If you think SpaceX is a rocket company with an internet business, you're basically valuing Amazon on book sales in 2005.
