  1. The loss of revenue figure was totally bogus because it assumed every copy was a lost sale. Before torrenting many people borrowed each other’s albums and manually copied them.

  2. It was delivered on time It was delivered on budget It reached the required volume They’ve just increased the speeds The client is happy The passengers are happy The speed over 1.7m is irrelevant Fort Lauderdale are now interested Making vehicles for 12-20 passengers is an obvious step. Going fully autonomous is also next.

  3. The key tell that they’re lying was when they started selling shares in Aramco back in 2019. If anyone can provide an alternative plausible reason for the sell off, you’re welcome to tell us.

  4. When everybody is using Robotaxis, the police will just override the destination and have it drive the bad guys to the police station 🤣

  5. Elon Musk has South African citizenship (he was born in Pretoria) and has a net worth of $162 billion.

  8. People got upset when they lost money by gambling on crypto... ...don’t gamble with money you can’t afford to lose?

  9. Yet strangely they’re incapable of installing a proper sewer system.

  10. Let’s not forget that the anti-piracy warning they used to have at the start of videos (“Piracy, it’s a crime”)... ...themselves pirated the music used in the video.

  11. $2 million is the current Raptor price. Long term that’s likely to come down to around $200,000 - $500,000.

  13. This is a hit piece full of misleading ‘information’ bordering on defamation in my opinion.

  15.  @haider4648  you’re missing the point. If my company has 100 gallons of a substance that I can sell for $1/gallon and I sell it all then I end up with $100. If instead the company has 100 shares and I sell you 1 share for $1. If I then sell all the stock and dissolve the company and distribute the money as dividends pro-rata to the share holdings, you get your dollar back. And I end up with the $1 you originally paid me and the $99 from selling the stock. I’m no better off. Now run the experiment again but when I go to my tank there’s been a leak and I now only have 1 gallon.

  16.  @LogicallyAnswered  Many places in the US won’t take it either for the same reason.

  17. 05:00 We’re in week-23 and have seen 18 Falcon-9 launches so far this year... ...That’s 40 launches a year, not 26... ...To describe the launches as ‘every other week’ is clearly wrong.

  24.  Gugljesmece Obicno  1) Light travels faster in a vacuum 2) The satellites are in a much lower orbit than most 3) The satellites are in what most people would consider a vacuum 4) The latency for Starlink is much better/lower (<40ms) than for geostationary (250ms) and slightly better than transatlantic fibre optic (60ms).

  25. The capacity of the network seems the obvious baseline metric, throwing around ideas for other applications makes no difference.

  26.  @LogicallyAnswered  No worries, things are moving so fast it’s hard to keep up.

  27. Given that a certain synthetic opioid is made with CCP approval and terminates over 50,000 US citizens a year... ...I won’t be shedding any tears for China anytime soon.

  28. $50m is the price charged to customers $15m is the cost to SpaceX

  29. Describing a company as ‘all in’ on EVs when they continue to develop and sell ICE vehicles is delusional.
    3
  30. Nicely done. While there are criticisms, this costing calculation seems a reasonable ballpark.
    2
  31. It’s a great concept and any competition for SpaceX is good, however when Starship becomes operational, everyone else will be out of business unless they can get government subsidies.

  32. Never underestimate a company that can be bailed out on demand by the American government using taxpayer’s money.

  33. So what?

  34. If got infiltrated by Globalist Marxists, like most Western institutions and Big Tech companies.

  35. To be clear, the payload on a launch without reuse is substantially larger (22.8t vs 15.6t) because no fuel is needed for the boost-back, re-entry and landing burns. This is reflected in the price charged. Note that this price differential is NOT affected by whether the booster has been previously used or not, that is a different consideration. Wikipedia has prices for new vs. used for the larger payload. The prices charged for the loads permitting reuse aren’t published. (This is where thunderf00t got confused).
    2
  36. Unlikely, full reuse is the game changer, going any bigger has diminishing returns.
    2
  37. My understanding is that the act of purely downloading is NOT illegal, it’s the providing copies to others that’s is and it’s the nature of the way torrents work that mean most users don’t only download.
    2
  38. We now know that many ‘MeToo’ accusations are totally false and are simply a way for SJWs to destroy the lives of people they decide they don’t like. Obvious examples being Johnny Depp, Alec Holowka and Vic Mignogna. The mantra ‘believe all women’ is insane, police reports and due process exist for a reason.

  39. Please explain why

  40.  @milekragulj325  just the facts, time for you to wake up.
    2
  41.  @Whiskey2shots  An EV with 3 or more passengers is more efficient than a train. Average cars can easily do over 100,000 miles on a set of tires. But these are NOT average cars. Tires in the controlled environment of the tunnel will easily last over 200,000 miles. That’s over 100,000 trips in the loop. That’s 2 years of continuous use. Their cost is insignificant.

  43.  @LogicallyAnswered  at 03:00 he went bankrupt owing over $5 million, remember?
    1
  44.  @LogicallyAnswered  you asked a question. I answered it. Are you claiming he paid back the $5m? He didn’t owe the investors, he owed the people who supplied him with goods and services - and you know it.
    1
  45. Which?

  46. ‘Woke’ media companies are now censoring old content because it is no longer considered ‘acceptable’. eg. Darryl Hannah’s rear in ‘Splash’, Trump’s scenes in ‘Home Alone 2’, some scenes in ‘Fawlty Towers’, many scenes in ‘Blazing Saddles’. Soon the ONLY way to view the unedited originals will be via file sharing.

  50.  @brendenharris8858  Starlink satellites are in much lower orbits than any others so they literally can’t collide with anything. Their orbits are so low that they burn up after 5 years.

  51. Simply untrue, charities and government agencies will fund shared facilities for poor areas because they know access to the internet is so transformative.

  55. They’re working on it.

  56. His calculations seem reasonable, please post your biggest single criticism instead of generic nonsense. While Starlink is BEGINNING to be available, it is not yet global and the areas it currently serves have outages.

  63. The satellites will eventually fall out of orbit and burn up regardless of any active retirement measures because their orbit is so low.

  64. 1) There are laws against monopolies 2) StarLink isn’t a monopoly 3) The newer satellites are already stealthed 4) All the older versions will be gone in less than 5 years 5) Rocket companies have to get permission for every launch 6) Every fossil fuelled power station on earth has a bigger carbon footprint than SpaceX
    1
  65. A Falcon 9 launch produces around 300 tons of co2. SpaceX are aiming at 50x launches this year, so that’s around 15,000 tons. The average American has a carbon footprint of 16 tons/year. So SpaceX rockets have a similar footprint to one thousand people. America has a population of 300 million people.

  66. Given the total cost of the network, the cost of uplinks/connections to backbones is probably around 0.1% of the total in my opinion. If you have sources showing otherwise then please provide them.

  67. When mega corporations like Disney spend billions to lobby for worldwide ridiculous extensions to copyright law, just to keep their vile mouse from becoming free to all after 75 years... ...they can get f....d.

  71.  @jaybee4577  I agree it’s crazy, but the loony Left are the ones who insist that race and ethnicity are just a social construct and don’t have a physical reality. (While ignoring obviously differences in the members of groups like Nobel prize winners vs. NBA teams).

  76. Vile companies like Disney make their products with embedded adverts that are impossible to skip, forcing everyone to watch them every time they watch the film... ...and then they wonder why people find ways to avoid them.

  77. Directly under a Starlink satellite, outside, given perfect conditions, the power is 0.294 microwatts/sq-m. That is over 34 million times under IEEE defined safety limits.

  86.  @Leoappeared  Just admit you’re clueless

  87.  @Leoappeared  I’m not the one making the unfounded claim. The reduction in unit price resulting from mass production is well documented and established, pretending otherwise is delusional.

  93. Starlink isn’t a monopoly

  94. Technological advancements doubling in capacity every 2 years only works in specific areas. It’s unlikely to have this impact on the cost of the satellites or their capacity to support customers.
    1
  95.  @kosminuskosminus  I agree they will get better, I don’t believe they’ll get 30x better in 10 years, I estimate they’ll maybe halve in price and double in performance... so a 4x improvement.
    1
  96.  @kosminuskosminus  I’ve already explained that such improvements only apply in certain specific areas. You’re welcome to provide an example of a comms satellite that has improved 30x in 10 years to its existing customers.
    1
  97.  @kosminuskosminus  Please cite the earlier satellite supporting the same customers and how a SINGLE OneWeb satellite was 150 times more ‘powerful’ than its predecessor. It was 2019, not 2018, they have zero customers, a network that doesn’t work, went bankrupt twice and have reduced the scope of their network from 48,000 to 6,000. They are being bailed out by the UK government and being repurposed for GPS. Hardly a good example, but you be you and cling to your 150x, but show the figures proving it.

  98. In the U.K. electricity is already less than 50% from fossil fuels.

  99. Disney’s ridiculous (and successful) lobbying to continuously extend the copyright life of intellectual property in order to prevent works from entering the public domain, serves only to call into question the entire justification for copyright existing at all in my opinion.

  102. The satellites have much lower orbits, so they cannot interfere with anybody else and they self destruct within 5 years. When Elon provides a space telescope with free shared access to astronomers they’ll all shut up and go away.

  110. Consumer electronics have well documented price reductions with commoditisation, StarLink is unlikely to be any different.

  116. Maybe you can explain why a country would sell shares in its key resource?
    1
  117.  @Exc_Joe  Quoting the number does not explain the sale. If the reserves are overstated then it’s likely the shares are overvalued. If I have a company with 100 million shares and claim it’s total value is $1,000 million and then sell 1 million shares to you for a total of $10 million. I get $10 million from you. What are your shares then worth if the company turns out to be only worth $1 million?
