No. We’ve tried that for decades now and it hasn’t worked out very well for getting the world connected. The entire rural earth has been neglected. Even in silicon valley my neighborhood only got fiber this year and its saddled with crappy TV bundle deals, bad mobile apps built with wrapped web pages, poor service, and we-will-sell-your-data anti privacy provisions. Starlink has none of that.

Since it isn’t mentioned on the page, I’ll mention that accessibility is a really important thing to design in when creating data visualizations.

This podcast (I only have a spotify link) has a really good short interview on this:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/18dHTAxCCeIaLOTch6tRld

The interview is with Frank Elavsky who seems to be a rock star in the field (and no, I don’t know him and am not him) and made a project called Chartability relating to this which has heuristics, principles, and guidelines for a11y audits:

Having spent some time in California and seen things town by town at a very granular level, I think woke voters are the ones driving Volvos.

So while I didn’t quite follow that reference, it’s true that if Trump were to ban them for simply being owned by China, then he’d be kind of screwed because he’d then have to ban all his own merch like the Trump phone and his made-in-China MAGA hats.

Yes Gruber's comment about not making Ternus debut with a shit sandwich was right on the money, so I wondered why that alone didn't sway him to think that Apple would do the price increase sooner.

This kind of device access also affects others whose private information is shared privately on the device of the traveler.

CBP partly justify the invasion of privacy by citing a supposed reduced expectation of privacy when traveling. But people whose data is caught up on the devices of others are not the ones traveling, but they are still having their messages read and photos copied.

I have never noticed an issue but now that we’re talking about it I realize It’s never occurred to me to run a speed test during a heavy downpour. Which might tell you something positive by itself. Next time I will do so but it might be a while; my rain season has ended.

I’ve never had an issue with Starlink when it’s cloudy, or rainy for that matter. They even advertise this. Mini is different this way?

Not true in general on HN about one side only; it happens to all sides imho. But if you wanted to measure, you would have to normalize by the total number of occurrences on each side, and there is a lot of passive aggressive wording so the measurement would be easy to do badly.

To the extent that discussion of discussion is considered boring, perhaps this will get shut down too, but I think it was important to counter your claim.
