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

  3. You’re welcome to suggest a sourced alternative figure. In the UK everyone pays 20% VAT (a purchase tax) and that’s on top of any corporation taxes.

  4. Please be more specific

  5. They’re working on it.

  6. 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.

  7. The USA didn’t make Venezuela Marxist, or nationalise their oil industry, or fix food prices. Go watch the Academic Agent YouTube video on this.

  12.  @cia9288  I meant they’ll fund the installations for poor in rural areas in 3rd world countries.

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

  14. 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

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  20.  @Aaron-yr3bj  Historical note: The Native Americans on the ‘trail of tears’ took their African slaves with them.

  21.  @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).

  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. His calculation is based on customers per satellite, their location is irrelevant. If you don’t think this is the correct metric to calculate the capacity of the system, please tell us your preferred calculation.

  29. In the U.K. most ISPs block access to PB sites.

  35. Then provide a sourced alternative.

  36.  @Leoappeared  Just admit you’re clueless

  37.  @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.

  38.  @saudonmars  Only if the valuation is correct. If the valuation is 100x too high then…

  39.  @randomdude8892  “Headlines all strongly suggested DeGolyer & MacNaughton independently verified 260 bn bbl of Saudi Arabian oil reserves, in truth they only verified 162 bn (or 60%) of that amount.”

  40. Show your calculation

  41. If Edge is faster, my suspicion is either they’ve ’adjusted’ the OS to throttle Chrome, or they’re using hidden undocumented calls to the OS from Edge.

  42. Import the third world... ...become the third world.

  43. Starlink isn’t a monopoly

  44. 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.

  45.  @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
  46.  @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
  47.  @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.

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

  49. 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.

  50. His calculation is based on customers per satellite, their location is irrelevant. If you don’t think this is the correct metric to calculate the capacity of the system, please tell us your preferred calculation.
