Why would the carrying capacity drop? The sourced article is full of unsourced prose http://www.paulchefurka.ca/CC_Overshoot.html

Sorry greenpeace, I’m an environmentalist myself, but this article is just a bunch of made up BS

All of the people who can afford it live in cities that have perfectly good internet.

I think this generalization is far from valid

• You’re assuming US prices, Starlink can go cheaper and they have shown they will do market specific pricing
• South Africa is one example where there are plenty of areas outside big cities where people could afford it
• Starlink doesn’t have to be ordered by individuals. Smaller rural communities could have a shared terminal

This is assuming it’s not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there’s a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink

I mean yes, obviously, that’s the point of the mission?

Investigating the potential habitability of Europa is the main purpose of NASA’s Europa Clipper mission

Although I definitely like the “Captain Obvious” type headline better than the usual clickbait

Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.

Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now

I guess the reason it works at all right now is due to RV type mobile contracts

I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.

I think a lot of devs can relate to that

You should only pay full price if the release quality is great. And even then, there’s a reason why #patientgamers is a trend. You save on hardware cost, game cost & get better quality games with extra post release content

“In the design plans for the system, the word ‘main’ was used inconsistently between the device that sends the electric signals, and the device that receives the signals,” NASA said in a written statement. "On the signal side, ‘main’ meant the main parachute. In contrast, on the receiver side ‘main’ was used as a reference to a pyrotechnic that fires to release the parachute canister cover and deploy the drogue.

“Engineers connected the two mains, causing the parachute deployment actions to occur out of order,” NASA said.

Metal and plastic is easy, controlling cloth is hard

The funniest part is that Bezos got sued into paying Musk by his own shareholders

Let’s spell that out: Bezos is paying Musk to launch his satellites

Why?

Other examples?

Not really blowing off, they just don’t have enough gravity to keep it in

sub-Neptunes are susceptible to atmospheric loss. The exoplanets can lose their atmospheres if they don’t have enough mass, and therefore enough gravitational force, to keep their atmospheres. If this theory of atmospheric loss is true and the sub-Neptunes don’t have enough mass to hold on to their atmospheres, they’d likely shrink to the size of super-Earths, explaining the size gap between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.

So that’s why they called it FIRST

Not defending Ubi here, but Uplay and the games are pretty tightly integrated (see achievements). It may have indeed just been an accident

Is it though? Has someone tried with some of the past problems?

Who cares if the program has done its job anyway

Focusing beyond the code - as a developer you will code 20% of your time.

Doesn’t sound like a great software engineer to me

In my company everyone is called Software Development Engineer 🤷‍♂️
