That article claiming $8b profit is indeed mislabeling EBITDA as profit. EBITDA removes any recurring replenishment costs, the cost of building the satellite, launching the satellite, the user equipment manufacturing and returns, all ground

A genuine Mars program requires a dozen thing SpaceX only builds CGI renders of or totally overlooked. Instead, they focused on reusable launch and building a low-Earth-orbit mega-constellation. This dates back to the 1980s Strategic Defens

I'm pretty sure the amount of data isn't the problem here. Maybe it's the number of corner cases? You would still want some human-in-the loop with quality UI for ATC.

I think it makes sense, notebooks are hard to sterilize.

by infinitewars 7mo ago
Did you write on them because a notebook could cross contaminate while the coats are sterilized safely? Did you wash the markers? I wonder how people handle this now? With IP68 tablets, you can probably just dunk the whole thing in alcohol.
