All the concrete stuff you describe is plenty justification for a really high valuation. Maybe a couple hundred billion, even. To justify a couple trillion, you have to really believe in orbital data centers, which just don’t make much sens

Or you don’t and you return this piece of garbage for a refund. I hope you can see how this is much superior to auto-installing malware.

Auto-run when inserting a CD worked great, until people realized you could do bad stuff with it. User action must be required to run or install new software.

I suppose companies like Nike are to blame for putting their logo on things as well.

That report proposed three pretty reasonable approaches to this problem, and none of them were "avoid curing diseases."

And utilities are typically natural monopolies. They're good candidates for regulation because they're essentials and they don't have competitive forces to keep them behaving reasonably. AWS has plentiful competitors. If you

Thin clients are incredibly popular these days. It's just that the PC or smartphone is the thin client, and the central "PC" is the cloud.

Apple comes down hard on employees who merely leak to the press. Taking internal documents to a competitor is not going to be fun.

Guess what, I don't like or watch those either.

It's like using an excavator to arrange a bunch of big stones in a circle and saying it's a new Stonehenge. The excavator is obviously a powerful tool, it took you an hour to do what took the ancients a huge amount of time and eff

It's intentionally rather limited. There's no validation of the input moves, and it leaves out some important rules. > Moves are trusted and given in plain coordinates: no click-to-move, no castling, en passant, or promotion.

I did a search and there are like three such comments in the past year, including this one.

Is this a real thing? I don't think I've ever heard "AT protocol" before Bluesky. My first modem was 300 baud, so I wasn't totally out of the loop on this. DDG finds four hits for the phrase before 2020 used to desc

It's a lot easier to upgrade the capacity at a central office than it is to upgrade an entire neighborhood. Plenty of cable infrastructure was built out when it was just a broadcast (multicast?) medium and the only concern was making s

I have good fiber, no need for Starlink. If I did, I might complain about the surcharge, but it would be hard to argue they tried to hide it.

They've generally chosen to go with bandwidth caps and throttling instead. Different ways of managing the shared resource. I'm not really sure what people want here. Capacity is limited. They're adding more as fast as they ca

I go to their home page, click "get started," and it asks me where I want service. If I put in a place with a congestion surcharge, then it shows me on the next page. In fact, you have to pay it up front to order service. Seems ad

His address would have received it too, if he was starting new service. It's only for new customers, they're not hitting existing customers with the charge. The error was that putting in the address made it look like he had moved,

They're not applying these retroactively. (They did so in the reddit link above, but that was a mistake that they fixed.) The only way you'd have this problem is if you check before you buy, see that it's not there, buy the p

Let me guess... if you put the address into their handy text box, they tell you exactly what the demand surcharge is going to be for that location? I tried it, and would you look at that, I was right. I guess if you buy an entire house with

Isn't this fee specifically before they have you by the balls?

Tesla may not have pioneered fundamental technology, but it put together a combination of price and utility that nobody matched at the time. Find me anything in 2018 like a Model 3 that wasn't a compliance car. Profitably reusable rock

Borrowing and selling are both pretty straightforward financial actions. It seems strange to say you're not allowed to combine the two.

Maybe hundred of years, singular. And reading/watching stuff in our own homes has never required any proof of age.

Airplanes are much more likely to collide, but they don't dump hyperspeed shrapnel into the airspace that persists for months or years when they do. It makes sense to be extremely paranoid about satellite collisions.

I don't like that either, but nothing's stopping others from following the same path and achieving the same capabilities, other than their own inability or refusal to do what's already been done. It's been over a decade

It’s a pretty nasty insult wrapped up in friendly-sounding language.

I completely agree with that argument, but that only covers one person.

Clearly not, or it would be funded. The part of the system that’s supposed to decide decided to fund it. Then another part illegally blocked that and suffered no consequences.
