For any dense populated area, starlink cost explodes exponentially to support customers there, while fiber/5G is linear. You cannot just put more satellites on top of cities, as th…

Remote areas of USA (and other third world countries when it comes to the communication infrastructure) + companies that operate in remote areas (logistic, resource extraction, etc…

I’m pretty sure rest of starlink customers will get similar treatment in the future. Their potential customer base is limited and it’s only ISP that literately burns their backbone…

You do realize that sponsored stories aren’t modern invention? Magazines were full of it too, sometimes disclosed, most often not.

Closest analogy to distillation is api reimplementation, without which current software industry wouldn’t exist. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with distillation.

There’s huge issue with that approach. It’s not a multi trillion dollar business.

Because benefits are much higher than risks.

I love my macbook neo. I have more powerful macmini at home as my daily driver, but neo is amazing for me basically as a companion to my corporate laptop. I use it: - to take as my…

What have the Romans ever do for us?!

2 more, most important reasons she was sentenced: 1. She stopped making money for rich people. 2. She herself wasn’t rich enough. Leon is too rich, and he keeps on making money for…

EV batteries are expected to offer about 60-70% of capacity at 20 years. I think that's really good compared to general wear and tear of the car. But let's go back to the original …

Useful life of most of the cars is on par with their battery longevity, as long as you have proper thermal management and your usage patterns are not outliers. Focusing on being ab…

You’re describing extremely valid approach for a hobby. Less for a business.

That's why you split tasks and do project management 101. That's how things worked pre-AI, and old problems are new problems again. When you run any bigger project, you have senior…

It’s also THE playbook of the Silicon Valley.

1. Because people like it. 2. “Social media” is not the right term to describe those apps anymore. There’s nothing social about them - just an algorithm feeding you stuff. True soc…

Watches are now roughly in the same spot as phones - form factory is largely complete and each new version is a small iteration over previous generation, with changes that most peo…

Tesla does it to map the areas to come up with high def maps for areas where their cars try to operate.

Last true step change in computer performance for general home computing tasks was SSD.

I'm 200% sure it's subsidized by Tesla and they have a deal that any losses they'd get Tesla is going to pay Lemonade for them.

China has a luxury of being able to not really care about the cost when it comes to what they view as a strategic advantage.

I miss the old school monopolies, where MS was a bad guy because they dared to include browser. And yes, I do legalese details of that are much more complex. But it just makes no c…

> 2) The "Russia is weak" thing; it is vastly exaggerated because it is 4 years that we hear that "Russia is on the verge of collapse" but they still manage to handle a very high i…

AI code review to me is similar to AI code itself. It's good (and constantly getting better) at dealing with mundane things, like - is the list reversed correctly? Are you dealing …

Ironically - bad ones will effectively try to kill you less. That’s the thing about any automations that are just aides. Humans are extremely bad at monitoring machines, and if aid…
