It's a safe bet it will be launched by 8/22, anyway.

I, on the other hand, was so so wrong on this.

If you were wrong about that, what else have you been wrong about?  Clearly you have zero credibility and we should throw out anything you've ever said!

(Sorry, influence of presidential election year politics bleeding through)

No, a failed launch is still a launch.

DXV is technically correct -- the best kind of correct.

Also, it's technically still in private beta, rather than public beta.  So technically correct on both counts!

And of course there's that pesky second clause, about iso staying up until it's ready...

[Donald X.]

There's still time to label the GenCon release as a public beta and keep Iso up until it's ready.

You are not going to like the over/under on this one!

I really wish I had taken this bet if the odds were that good! I have rarely seen Donald X. be so wrong.

What? There was zero chance they were going to not launch and instead have a public beta at GenCon. And they didn't! They did take down the launch version and go back to beta, but whatever. Your hope that they would not launch was dashed.

lol @ equivocation.
another victim of the "I'm always right" f.DS curse.

I see, I see.

In fact I was asked if I thought the launch might fail and did not give it a nonzero chance, since, what, failed launches are not so rare. When rspeer suggested that Goko should delay the launch though, for sure I knew that wasn't happening. Is that not clear from those words? Are you a native English speaker?

Consider (A & B)

A is false

Therefore (A & B) is false, whether or not B is true.

All I'm saying is that it's still in beta and Isotropic is up until it's ready - that's all I care about!

EDIT And by the way, I didn't mean to spark a debate about truthiness - just saying that the main ideas that I care about you were wrong about (namely Iso).

This is an interesting assertion.  Is a rocket that explodes on the launchpad still considered a launch? 

I've tried to reference it as a "failed launch attempt"
