the math does not line up for providing any sort of significant uplink bandwidth out of a non-steered antenna by ground stations operating at no-FCC-license-needed power levels.

also nobody that lives in an apartment will be able to sign up

huh, somehow i figured this all had to be not-the-last-mile solutions involving tracking antennae

hell i worked at a place that did that for ships at sea (within a certain range of shore) and it worked great

are you saying it's ok for entourages to commit negligent homicide on rock stars via fentanyl if the rock star has a weird religion

absolutely not, still gross and sad/enraging to see

good point re: showing it's cool to be weird though

thank goodness there are more than enough people to fill that role these days without also telling parents it's okay to withhold lifesaving medical attention from your kids

the concept of starlink, like the real one, not their press release, is to provide internet service to teslas and billionaire fortresses in a way that the poors can't disrupt with a backhoe or an axe or cable cutters. that's it. the access will be $799 a month for a half megabit link with 180 ms min latency

e: high five to midjack

this is absolutely already a thing that rich people have access to, so yeah, it just feels like more investor storytime about a problem that's already been 'solved' (insofar as tesla is capable of solving the problem, which is obviously far from their stated goals)

reminder that the current starlink satellites are broken and can never fulfill the original mission goals. they are literally missing parts needed to execute the idea. they are actual space junk.

on the plus side, maybe it's a moral imperative to instigate kessler syndrome so that we never make it off this rock and pollute space with our brand of horrorcapitalist culture

like, 'alien' was just as much about the evils of spacecapitalism as aliens (arguably way more)

I assume the true reason is because with hardware it's a fuckload harder to obsfucate fail conditions that occur due to design negligence than in software, and you don't have to worry about pesky things like "build quality" or "safety factors"
