Comment on Ground control to Major Trial: When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse opensource free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense.

  Pretty sure the 100s of millions was referring to back in 2015 or so when they started abusing the free trials.

    I think any space company is semi governmental since they are all funded by the government. I dunno man, it seems like the authors intent to misdirect have been successful. We don’t know who the company in question is.

      now that i’m thinking: would be 4000 VMs enough for spacex? maybe it is some smaller organization. i also take it is state-owned or similar, which narrows it down to a handful of countries that launch satellites

      and probably not government agency, because these would have people competent enough to do a git pull
