>A lot of what you're saying isn't actually true here. You're talking latency not bandwidth. There is only so much spectrum to go around. My understanding is that there is only a certain amount of bandwidth to go around a

I worked at a GEO company. They have a HUGE department just to work with governments to buy or keep their spectrum. The rules and regulations for spectrum are insane, and not just build this cable here in my county/state/country

The constellation is moving but they are moving in a formation. Meaning you have a rotation of 2-4 satellites above your head at any give time. Each satellite can service a radius the size of Wyoming. So you have a limit on the number of

Gah - I got so caught up in this thread. Finally something I know a fair bit about. Yes, there is a baseline. But that's like saying dail-up is a baseline. Everyone might have it but it doesn't give people access to the modern

You have better access to hotspot data than someone who is further from the nearest cell tower. I'm using a more physical infrastructure discussion to draw an analogy to what you might experience. It might make sense for someone in a

No, you don't have the same problems as everywhere else. You said it took 10 years to get fiber, there are rural places where that's not an option. There are places where there is no sewer and houses must have septic. There are p

This is 1000% my point. There is now a baseline amount of signal per KM. That signal is now the same everywhere. It will be (about) the same speed everywhere. This is really great for more rural areas and over the ocean.

Yes. All this beaming technology is available on earth (4g/5g) but we don't use it for our home internet... Why is that? Cost of bandwith per person to infrastructure. If you're in Silicon Valley then you probably get GREAT

There is a set capacity for these satellites, they can accomodate X number of users per satellite which would be a region (I'm making an educated guess) about the size of New Jersey. I think the size is larger than that which means fe

It will also put pressure on land based ISP to either give up customers, or pay to increase infrastructure to get comparable internet to those areas.

Starlink internet is not meant to replace hard line internet. There is no getting around the physics of cable being so much cheaper/easier. Even terrestrial cell towers are more efficient and cheaper than satellites. This is 100% mea

Cloudy days will 100% affect internet speeds. But it's also possible for them to have better equipment at LEO due to lower launch costs to overcome that affect. It's kinda funny because cloudy cover are a smaller portion of signa

Sorry I saw an interview where Fauci said that they knew earlier that masks would help but advised not to use them because hospitals needed the PPE. I can't find the interview, I did a search to find articles on it though. https:&#x2

This depends on the algorithm. There are some public algorithms that get crushed by things like facial hair, glasses, etc. The better the algorithm the harder it is to spoof. But some of the older/crappier ones can be defeated just b

I have some friends who love it, some who hate it and some who didn't finish and got a ton of debt. If you decide to be a pilot reach out to real world pilots and ask for advice. I have friends who did years being paid very little at l

Picking out that you said "current virus levels" I completely agree. There is no timeframe for getting the virus levels under wraps. It's a matter of determining what the risk is. I'd put it like this for myself, if the

I would hope we can find a way for apps like this to exist while still paying youtube and content creators. Something like and API subscription for a third party algorithm tool like this that pay youtube part of the subscription.

This was my take too. I disagree with the opinion piece linked by the op. My take was that he wanted more girls to be involved at a younger age in tech. If you look upstream at hiring, If I have 20 candidates and they all graduated from ei
