At first I thought “30s” meant “30 seconds” rather than “thirties (ms).”
My opinion of Starlink and what it means for the world was being completely reshapen until I read your comment again!
- freedomben 6y agoAh yes, thanks! I did mean thirties but I changed it to `ms` to avoid confusion :-)
- laputan_machine 6y agoI have never heard of adding 'ies' onto the end of numbers to mean 'ms'. I'm (probably) not alone, fyi! What industry is that lexicon from?
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoThat just means 30-39. Probably would be clearer if written 30's. The ms is implied, due to the context.
- FPGAhacker 6y agoThat would be a greengrocer's apostrophe.
- dylan604 6y agowhat is clearer about implying the 30 posseses something? the post said 'low 30s', so to me that would imple 30-35, or even 30-33 if one wanted to call 34-36 mid 30s and 37-39 high 30s.
- __float 6y agoI don't think it meant "ms" specifically, it meant in the range of 30-40 ms; the milliseconds was implied from the context.
- evilduck 6y agoInternet connection speeds, in context. Latencies faster than milliseconds are not found in home internet connections (or anywhere maybe?) and 30 second latencies in Starlink would have prevented the product from even existing or would imply faulty hardware.
