Regional? The very top of the federal government is stepping in when the states are trying to limit the data centers.

Lol… By the magic of being poor

Looks interesting, anyone knows if it can run on Linux?

Gullible people expected to pay much more for SpaceX than it’s current valuation (I fixed the title)

Oh no! The evil China will turn us against our Billionaire overlords and their newest money sucking machine!

…Anyways

You are speaking English and that didn’t help you get lots of upvotes.

This war is so fucking stupid and evil… Of course the media making the show out of one kid crying to the camera is a propaganda piece. But the reality is that all the kids that were already killed during that war can’t be filmed crying, so the reality is even more bleak than the propaganda piece… Also out of all current conflicts, this war has the highest number of killed journalists by far, so even if someone had anything more representative, there is a huge chance he or she is already dead.

How fucking evil someone must be to make entire world* cheer for the side represented by the terrorists?

(* Entire world? No! One small city of Washington DC and a few hundred billionaires are cheering the “righteous” side, and are sending all the weapons that were too expensive to waste them by helping Ukraine defend itself)… end of the rant

No, he said two-earner households, will become one-earner households, he didn’t mention* anyone will become rich**, just that one person from the household will become unemployed.

(* at least he didn’t mention it in the cited fragment. I didn’t read the entire thing, my time is too precious, I must waste it on writing comments instead of reading sources.) (** Of course he will become richer, but that’s the obvious part of the idea and doesn’t need to be mentioned)

I don’t like the expression “guarantee fiber to every home”, I don’t think intervention like that is needed, It’s enough if the country guarantees fair competition. But I agree that Starlink lets you bypass local obstacles like local incompetence/corruption or censorship*

* unless it's the kind of censorship that Elon supports, then I am pretty sure Starlink will soon block it as well

I don’t think it’s the same, we already have the infrastructure for the network in most places with a dense population. Existing infrastructure is of the similar quality to Starlink, and the maintenance cost for the existing infrastructure is lower.

In case of GPS, the infrastructure existing before was much worse.

The only cases I can think of, where Starlink outperforms the existing infrastructure are:

1. Areas with low population density - the problem, in those areas, by definition, there aren’t many customers

2. Situation when someone is actively trying to sabotage the existing infrastructure, like those ships, that are breaking underwater internet cables, or the active jamming near the front lines - what happens in the Ukraine shows that Starlink is great for that case. It is enough to treat it as strategically important, but it doesn’t justify the starlink valuation. I really hope this market won’t grow much.

Starlink is basically a military tech that is too expensive even for the US military, so it was sold to gullible investors as a great deal… It won’t ever be profitable, at least not near the level that was promised. But it might turn out to be essential during a few wars.

What does this headline even mean?

Are electric horses better than gas powered horses or what?

Well, the headphones are still a separate thing. They are even more separate now, than they ever were (each one earphone is separate now)

gSquito - Instead of drinking your blood, they will steal your data

One of them is a good boy, and is proud of themselves, the others are billionaires and deep inside they know they are useless.

I actually thought that I was responding to the comment about not using social media… But I agree with both comments. I’m just surprised how much enshitification happened to social media before we noticed

It’s always funny (and sad) when someone from the USA points out that almost all internet services are US owned, not European, it sounds like they did all the work developing the modern internet, and while Americans really did a lot, they also bought a lot of services created in other countries.

Fun fact: there was a period in time, when the main use for Facebook was to stay in touch with your friends… Or at least this is how I, a naive person, saw it.
