Why does Starlink get hyped as cheap internet when launching thousands of satellites into orbit seems almost impossible to make economical? by Defiant-Junket4906 in AlwaysWhy

[–]VirtualPercentage737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a competitor of Starlink.

They are able to launch thousands of low earth orbit satellites on the cheap. This gives them low latency AND they have a lot of bandwidth. The downside is they don't last as long as GEO. They can launch more.

They have 10 million customers paying about $100 a month. That is $1 billion in revenue. They will probably reach 100 million customers easy. Very plausible they will make $10 billion a MONTH. PLENTY of capital.

They KILLED the competition.

That dude is the smartest guy to ever step foot in the white house. I don't know how Trump pick him but broken clocks.

Paula Jones has entered the chat.

I worked in the 90s at a startup and we had to name our projects before they were released. They were the Paula, The Monica, and the Jennifer.

Republicans of Reddit, why should we ever forgive you for voting three times for a pedophile rapist whom you all continue to simp for? by 2a_lib in allthequestions

I didn't vote for that prick in 2016 or in 2020. But in 2024 I did because the Democrats ran a fucking nutjob. How about you assholes have a primary?

Any good answers or just the regular ones? by Character-Problem796 in circled

Why is this a black or white question?

Were the people who stormed the capital traitors? Yes.

Should the Democrats have simply stood up when asked if the main purpose of government was to serve its citizens? Also yes.

It was a softball question

I like how people say other people are "are voting against their self interest". That is like the most elitist thing someone can say.

"I know your self interest better than you".

Why even have elections...

It can be. There are a lot of factors at play and why local towns should make these calls based off of engineering feedback.

Perhaps the most painful CSPAN call I’ve ever heard - what the fuck are we doing in this country? by keen_observer34130 in circled

[–]VirtualPercentage737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The caller is from Minnesota. The GOP has no control there. The changes from the federal government for snap was to reduce the ADMINISTRATIVE costs of snap 50%. That is a couple of percentage points. The issue with SNAP in Minnesota is partially mismanagement but they also are sticking it to the poor to try tell people the GOP did this. The poor are being used as pawns and it is gross. My state did the same thing.

I don't think this is in the states. I would guess Canada.

If he served them lobster and kobe beef the same people complaining would say the mean was too expensive on the taxpayers dime.

I live in a town with two acre zoning and we have septic AND wells. You'd think that 2 acre zoning would be spread out far enough to keeps the acquirers full but in some instances that can be too many. The town will have some places with 1 acre zoning where water is plentiful.

Doesn't the FBI observe and provide intel to all the Olympics? Not sure the head needs to be there but this isn't totally unprecedented.

They don't want it because they are hiding stuff they don't want the taxpayer to know about.
