Starlink offers the low latency that others can’t provide which is needed for more real time applications and at a much more affordable rate. Maybe in the future there will be another (edit: low latency) network that rural people can rely on, but that isn’t today, or tomorrow, or next year, or the year after.

Satellites that have to communicate with a ground station, unless they want to do all the traffic in a region over the laser links, but those links will have their own limitations.

I’m not sure what the ground infrastructure is specifically, is it spacex hardware that connects to local ISP stuff or is it their own ground based infrastructure. That ground infrastructure is usually what part of getting approved in a country involves. Doing only laser links for a whole country would be too much. (Edit: I mean it’d technically be doable, but it’d greatly reduce their network bandwidth vs having a closer ground station, so fewer users and lower speeds)

The other option would be a hybrid situation where starlink backhauls one of our telecos internet but the local infrastructure is built and owned by them. In the future you could then backhaul with another satellite network in theory. Basically drop a 4g/5g tower in the middle of nowhere and connect it to Starlink.

I was lucky and had 2 of my 3 schools growing up be right beside a swimming pool. They sometime took us there for our gym classes.

The same authority as a marshall as far as I know.

They can do it if needed.

I’m pretty much on board with getting rid of software patents as they are absolutely ridiculous, but I don’t think we should necessarily get rid of the rest, but they do require reform.

Ah that makes sense. So if this was a hypothetical one engine out situation, maybe they thought they could get somewhere specific safely instead of doing an emergency landing right then and there and then overestimated their ability to manage a 1 engine out.

I’m thinking of a system as well where you can do mid air handoffs to someone closer. So you fly it 150km, then someone 150km away takes over, and keep getting it further that way.

What was the not coal powered one supposed to be?

Expected this to be the typical small private single engine plane. Interesting it was a double engine, I’d expect that to be safer on the options of private plane and not see this.

Yikes that’s a bad rate.

It would be nice to get rid of it, but it will cost a lot more money that no one wants to pay even if it’s actually a good use of it.

I think the ruling could deem it not an official act if the intent was to insider trade as facilitating inside trading isn’t an official duty. But you’d need proof that was the intention.

That seems like something the Trump government wouldn’t know and then somehow time stamp something devastating to the administration.

The Cybertruck doesn’t violate any US laws, there’s nothing to disallow it, and independent testing gave it 5 star saftey rating.

And while OEMs do self certify, they get spot checked to ensure compliance. There’s too many new vehicles and variants for the NHSTA/EPA etc. to ever check every single one in detail.

Edit: and if you really wanna get into it, most of the other OEMs everyone wants to love actually put defeat devices for said spot checking to lie and kill us sooner with bad air for $$$

It’d be a device by device thing. Looks like Pixels do it be default, but I wouldn’t assume all do. It’d be a setting if it’s not default.

They can track the date he was admitted and know he’s one of 15 people admitted in a range if they have an ID but no name.

Just assign them a number when they enter without their identity assigned to it. Use a random ID with no date associated to it.

It’s important it’s encrypted as well. Disk Encryption isn’t a default on option typically.

If it’s disk encrypted and the device is powered off, only a valid password (not biometric) will unencrypt it from off.

Edit: and a good device would encrypted it using a hardware module that will only work in that device for that hard drive, so they can’t clone the drive out and try a bunch of easier pins as it’d be missing the hardware piece. Easier pins would only work if done on your phones hardware.

If the court deputizes someone since a DOJ Marshall won’t follow orders, is that new deputy under the DOJ or under the court?

While dead is definitely possible, my thoughts are on brutally injured and they don’t want anyone to know.

In Dare Devil they touch this topic and the guy getting arrested for stealing some popcorn or something like that says they want to spend thousands of dollars to jail me for a month, rather than feed me for thousands less.
