They will probably change the orbital slot for the other two Viasat-3 satellites to make up for much of the loss (at the expense of coverage other places). And let’s see how the merger with Inmarsat will play out. Inmarsat have several new

Unless you move them around drivers will just slow down at the camera and then commence speeding. What works is strategically placed cameras that measure average speed over a distance. We have these a few places in Norway and most people st

All new/upgraded auditoriums installed 4K (laser) projectors when I left the business 5 years ago. So not sure if most auditoriums only have 2K these days?

Then you need to factor in the massive grid upgrades in the cost as well. Anyway, nuclear mega projects are probably a thing of the past once mass produced small modular reactors come to market.

We have separate offices for different teams (for the most part). Some are just glass walls and no doors (open in one end). Some are not really offices but partly divided by cubicle dividers. I feel that works pretty good. The most importan

Norway is the most mature EV market in the world, and looking at 2022 numbers Tesla sold the most cars, but VW is not far behind. 21300 for Tesla (most model Y) vs 20183 for VW (most Id.4), of which the vast majority (like 90% or more) were

In this future, what is the point of music at all? Music used to be a communal thing. First it was songs around the camp fire, slave music, clubs. We have always experienced music together. Even after Spotify we have shared our favorite son

I doubt it. The ongoing operational costs of a mega constellation like this is huge and I doubt they will be able to sell their services to maritime, aviation and military sectors at a much higher price than existing operators. They will al

Well, in Norway most children have been attending kindergarten from they are 1-2 years old the last 20 years or so, and I don't think there's been any reports of developmental issues in these kids.

In Norway most kids start kindergarten when they are 1-2 years old, it's not really a problem for most. Probably much more fun than hanging with their mother all day. Some have shorter days the first year(s) depending on parents work s
