Yeah, my skepticism was definitely misplaced. I guess I didn't internalise just how close that is! Mea culpa. This could open astounding possibilities if the prices are set within any kind of consumer-affordable level. I'm fairl

Huh. That's really close. Your numbers are off though. Firstly it's ~40ms up to the bird if it's right above you, then 40 down to the base station if it is next door to your house. If it's on the other side of the world

Ok. This is definitely going "into the weeds" as they say. I'm not a US citizen and probably didn't follow all of this stuff as closely as you. Maybe Trump getting elected was literally worth crying over. I'll conce

I hope that I demonstrate through my polite and hopefully-constructive replies that I am in fact arguing in good faith. Once we abandon that assumption then all hope is lost.

Interesting, especially since I am not American and I think I have a pretty good idea of what "far-left" means. Care to explain what you think it means? I use it to describe any political ideology focussed on equality of outcome a

There may be millions of diverse people and opinions but there is definitely a dominant ideology, it is definitely far-left, and it suppresses all other political viewpoints. This is absolutely blindingly self-evident in SF and if you disag
