The primary ISPs competing with Starlink are geo-stationary satellite internet providers. They can't compete with Starlink just based on the speed of light delays inherent to being in GEO. Once I can get Starlink, Hughesnet can offer t

When you're traveling at the full speed of light in vacuum, compared to 2/3rds in fiber, even a few extra hops can leave you with significantly lower latency.

I think you did the division backwards. By my math that's 1.8 days per book . I'm guessing OP reads pretty fast, and 1-2 hours per day spent reading isn't outside the realm of possibility. I would probably read 2-3 times as

There's no such thing as "GS-16 level" anymore (not since the 70s according to Wikipedia). Beyond GS-15, management moves into the Senior Executive Service or "ES scale". On the technical side, there is a Senior Tec

Police officers always have discretion. It would be impossible to legislate that away. It's been a while since I read the law (I'm an Oregon resident, so I read it before I voted for it), but I'd imagine that the law doesn&
