We are building an orbital communications network and linux based satellite operating system that lets you program your small sat in widely used programming languages, and gives you access to unprecedented, low latency compute and storage on orbit, and enables uninterrupted connectivity to the ground.

#42https://sherloq.io We detect and stop online hate speech, harassment and other kinds of cyberbulluying, allowing companies to have toxic free discussions and environments.
"You should crawl under a rock and die." -> offensive
"You should join a rock band, that music is to die for." -> fine
My only complaint with the demo is that you keep trying to refresh the result as a I type, and I quickly overwhelm whatever rate limiting you have in place and get a "please wait before trying again" message. If you just gave me a "submit" button rather than refreshing as I type, that would fix it.What I'm curious about is, how do you plan to sell this? Is reddit or HN going to pay for it? Are you going to make a paid vBulletin plugin? Something else I'm not thinking of?

#44A peer-to-peer Web browser. We let users create and host unlimited sites from their own devices. We think the technology can support thick hostless applications, which eliminates data silos and makes every application forkable from the browser. No blockchains, just an improved variant of BitTorrent called Dat [1].
We've been quiet the last 2 months but our 0.7 release is coming up, and we're excited about it.

This is cool ! How does it compare in size and power generation to a modern upgright wind turbine ?
Thanks! The size we're targeting now is a system of two kites on one tether, each with a wing span of 20 m and weighing 1650 kg. This would generate around 1 MW. The largest off-shore wind turbines right now have 80 m blades and generate 8 MW at a weight of 1300 tonnes (excluding foundation), but the main reason they are so large is economies of scale, off-shore wind turbines are expensive. Kite wind turbines do not…
What is your "wind farm" model? Reserving a kilometer wide circle for each kite pair does not really seem feasible even off-shore.

what are you doing differently to solve the predictable latency problem? having all the processing happening in the compute cluster so that there isn't enough back and forth to the ground to notice?
