Well my boss is in a cabin in the wilderness somewhere and his only access to the internet is via Starling, so that's great news!

I've heard of IP over pigeons, but using starlings is innovative.

Falcon-related packet loss is a recurring issue.

Starling is just the product name. It's still IPoAC under the hood.

What's the failure mode that would lead to an unrecoverable loss of such a large mesh network?

if you could somehow put something into persistent storage on the satellites that causes it to crash every time it tries to start up before it gets to the point where it's able to update the software, then they'd be bricked.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes. Just like Twitter is having fail whales all the time after his massive headcount cut.

There is no headcount cut here but everything is looking bad for Elon. Tesla stock is down too

Today, sure, but I've heard this a lot. Starting when it was around $100. It's currently just above $300.

It's a lot like bitcoin/crypto-in-general in that aspect. It's constantly in danger of collapsing, but line keeps going up on average.

It's why I can't bring myself to touch either of those things. They kind of defy common sense.
