From what I have read, it looks like the core of the spaceX program is built around super-efficient merlin 1-D engine still around development. They will undercut and profit, if they are able to beat the NK-33 which is in use under various other names.
Completely agree! I see no payout in poking the enemy, they are making it sound like a game and probably as a way to keep the youth attracted to the IDF.
Congratulations! Makes sense to invest in yourself. I do agree with the other commentators about how risky this is, but looks like its worth the shot [you sound super-committed to not end up regretting it, irrespective of the outcome :)]
Yeah, Agentzh(thats his handle everywhere) is very active in the Nginx community! He seems to be the one who worked quite a bit on the lua integration.
I had the opportunity to work on a seller buyer chat for a company which attempts to be the indian taobao, turns out there is very little traction for the real-time version. That feature got removed pretty quickly.
However, a craiglist like email based system between buyer and sellers which replaced the chat worked tremendously better in the Indian setup. At least from the India marketplace perspective it looks to be sometime before the same model works here.
