I keep goddamn forgetting about The Boring Company whenever I go to tell anyone how they, yes they, personally are smarter than Elon Musk. Just amazing.

Hold the payment in escrow until the tunnels are completed. Musk has a ton of cash, he can afford to build tunnels on credit. Also make sure you agree on a price beforehand and don't give in when the project is over budget and they want to renegotiate. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:unfortunately, despite the state paying for them i doubt most of these tunnels will ever actually be dug. it's not just maintaining them that would be impossible. actually digging the tunnels would also be a complex and difficult process and hey where are you going mr. musk.

Here you guys are talking about "feasibility" while Musk is on another plane of intelligence where he builds a cosmic pump-and-dump scam where the idiots who fund him are too stupid to ever cash out. I guess that's why he's the richest man in the world and you idiots are down in the tunnels, getting eaten by gators

Why dig new tunnels instead of just expanding existing sewers so that Teslas can drive through them?

the boring company has only usesd secondhand sewer tunnel borers already so you probably don't even need to widen the current sewer tunnels, just flush the teslas right on down there

Nothing screams American Dream more than begging and pleading the richest man in the world to take even MORE of their money. Elon built his fortune on tax payer funds and will stop at nothing to continually drink the resources away from the American Government. PS: Idiots up here in Canada are FROTHING at the mouth to latch onto the Starlink Teet.

Apparently the new Starlink sats that are launching are only half as bad as the previous ones. Also saw the EU wants to launch their own starlink setup.

No, ground-based astronomy will survive even a full Starlink. Wide-field imaging surveys with short exposures will lose maybe a few percent efficiency. What hasn't really been discussed is what happens to the unlucky saps who need to take long exposures of faint targets (usually spectroscopy) and have a satellite fly close by unbeknownst to them. Sucks to be those people! Also, astrophotography will definitely be ruined. Colostomy Bag posted:Apparently the new Starlink sats that are launching are only half as bad as the previous ones. Yes, they tried the completely novel solution of painting them black*. But they still have solar panels with necessarily shiny circuitry and such. Colostomy Bag posted:Also saw the EU wants to launch their own starlink setup. This is the major issue - Starlink on its own is manageable, but add another half-dozen competitors, of which at least one is bound to give no fucks about how bright their satellites are because there are no real international agreements to stop anyone from launching arbitrary garbage into orbit, and pretty soon the sky will be filled with giant blinking LED billboards and flaming debris. * this actually isn't trivial; it's hard to cool things in space and they still need to radiate away heat somehow.

I’m sure it exists, but just curious, is it considered an act of war or something? Or treated similarly to ocean shipping? When do we get space pirates?

Sudden Loud Noise posted:Speaking of, what international law states that some country can’t shoot private satellites out of the sky? if you apply simple maritime law, i think it'd more or less be an act of war. which doesn't mean it'd actually start a war, it just means the consequences depend entirely on the military and economic power of the nation doing the shooting. if the country can fight a costly war of attrition against the US / has nukes / is the US, no military consequences beyond some saber rattling. if the country can singlehandedly cripple the US' economy / is the US, no economic consequences. otherwise, consequences however, iirc there's no universally mutually-agreed limit to a country's airspace, so if one of the above countries with the economic and military power to get away with this actually did it, that might be the justification. but the problem with doing that is now other people can blow up the instigating nation's satellites under the same pretext, and that only leads to economic harm for everyone. and lots of crippled military hardware. and a big uptick in inconvenience in the daily lives of the comfortably rich - aka the people who would be calling these shots and the people who fund their reelections. so basically anyone with the infrastructure and expertise to build and guide that kind of laser or missile without getting immediately dunked on by the US also has enough to lose from a kessler cascade that they won't do it e: that's my understanding anyway. im no authority Cactus Ghost has issued a correction as of 23:28 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Too late Miami already did that when they dredged a shipping channel deeper for cruise ships or something and breached the aquifer. Please note geologists and engineers told them that this would happen before hand, so this would be "on brand."
