How can I quickly open a directory in Finder? If, for example I want to go to ~/source or ~/pem what is the quickest way to do this? I've used macOS for about 2 years now, and I never found a method to do this that is intuiti

I read the bitcoin whitepaper about 7 years ago. I find it funny when people talk about blockchain like it's new technology, or like it's a vision for future. It's old tech that has been generally increasing in market value

It matters to Apple, CPUs are a very big expense for them, and the performance of their computers are very important to them. I'm specifically worried about the performance workstation/gaming cpu market, which Broadcom Marvell, Ca

I always hoped ISS resupply and mars transport would work as reoccurring revenue. This is probably a great use if he has extra rockets and launch pad time, but it seems a bit of a side project compared to manned space travel.

I kind of assume bandwidth is a function of satellite count. So a network with 1000 satellites will be faster than a network with 3. User per satellite would also he important.

I'm not sure that it is cheaper, but I am sure there is a cheaper way to shoot something down than to keep it up. Idon't know if the tech and economics are correct, but the physics says it should be. Moving something to the same

His Leo distance was correct, but his geo distance is in the wrong unit of measurement.

by lev99 9y ago
I think you have your distances wrong. Geosynchronous orbit is 36,000km not miles. LEO is a range between 300km - 2000km. I suspect the satellites will be on the higher range to reduce atmospheric drag. The IIS has a 400km (250 miles) orb

Current internet satellites with a geosynchronous orbit are about 35,000km above the surface. These Low Earth Orbit satellites will be less than 2,000km above ground, and as low as 300km above. This difference should have a big impact on t

LOE will always provide faster latency than Geosynchronous orbit. I suspect that total bandwidth will go to the person with the most satellites, and LEO has much cheaper launches than GeoSync. Geosynchronous orbit is more than 15 times fart

Cities are gaining a higher proportion of the population over time too. It's clearly the better market. Everywhere on Earth is going to get a big bandwidth increase, expect for cities (and places not allowed for political reasons). I

Can you please explain why recurring revenue is significantly better for a rocket company? My understanding is Falcon 9 launches are limited by manufacturing and launch pad limitations and not market demand. Launching satellites take away

The cost of building wired infrastructure has an inverse relationship with population density. This might be more expensive than wired internet in dense cities. The metal of city buildings and the high density of transmitters might make t

That really depends on how much bandwidth you need. Several aspects of remote working like video conferencing large file transfers are too demanding for 4G in terms of bandwidth and transfer caps.

Maybe a 100% complete social graph is not required, but I suspect social graphs to be more and more important. Facebook is not a 100% social graph anyway. I keep business relations to LinkedIn and my Chinese contacts do not use Facebook.
