The reason I don't believe this is they are required to start providing service per the FCC by the end of this year. The antenna lead time is long enough to where they can't change the design now unless it was already in the pipel

I believe late next year is the first real rollout, and the rest are scattered over 2 years. This is the reason they changed the inclination and altitude several times.

You don't know that. It's highly likely that they know it will do damage above those temps and are doing this to prevent damage. We will see in a year or so.

Typical satellite internet uses about 30W.

It's not trivial, of course. But it's also not okay to pretend that you can sell a device for $500 (which in reality costs $2,300), and skimp on the fundamental things that everyone else spends money on to ensure these things don&

No. I said this earlier, but they won a rural auction from the FCC where they were given 900 million dollars for Starlink, which includes providing coverage in areas well above 100 degrees f on a regular basis. They are required to provide

It's a flaw because they are required to provide service in areas that hit these temperatures with certain SLAs. I say required because they want a government contract promising that they can do it.

Why are you showing links to heaters? You ask if other manufacturers have this problem, then you provide links to the exact opposite problem which is freezing temperatures. The answer to your original question is no, other manufacturers do

That is not pretty close at all. You don't get ambient temperatures anywhere near 140F.

This is a problem when Arizona was above 100 degrees for 144 days out of the year last year.

Speaking from experience in this same industry, this is the wrong way to look at it. They significant amount of engineering goes in to designing the ground systems such that it can tolerate all different types of environments. Currently wit

It's also embedded in a ton of other sw packages, so it gets little attention by itself.

That's completely false. All major satellite providers can easily stream Netflix.

Not really. They never stopped x86 as the main product.

I don't understand why you are combining tx and RX. PCI, fiber, and the switch/nic are all full duplex, so you don't need to add the two directions together. A dual port nic, even with pcie4, is unlikely to be able to hit 200

This is correct. The Asics on these cards cannot do 200G, even if pcie allowed. The only one I'm aware of that can is the Mellanox cx6 dx

Unlimited just means your speed is capped more and more as you move into higher usage tiers. Nothing is unlimited.

The end game with starlink is to get government funding. It's far easier to close the business when you get free money without any obligations. In fact, the 900M they were given for rdof is under false pretenses since this data shows t

This test took into account which isps were already in that area. I don't see why you think this will be better. Clearly not all those places on the map had fiber.

Most of the positions are tangibly creating something that will be sent into space. This particular role is likely just for the website.

But that doesn't really have anything to do with the browser, which is what the op was asking.

Fair enough, and you seem reasonable based on all your comments. Why is anyone giving any credence to the starlink speed tests? They are maybe 5% of the target user base they'll need to be profitable with this number of satellites, yet

Hughes and viasat idle at about 30W and peak at 70W. Both are capable of 100/15 speeds.

Part of the job of the library is to be boring. It's the reason third party libraries exist in the first place. They give you the basic starting points to get the job done. Look how many people are complaining on here about how complic

But that's the point. Metaprogramming has gotten significantly better since c++11, and c++17 metaprogramming is extremely clean. Are we getting mad at them for improving things?

So... You're arguing against it by pointing out an excellent library for the language? Was someone forcing you to use std::thread? Of course it won't have as many features as tbb; it's meant to help pthreads users.
