stuff like this are intended from the start and pre planned for in the shadows: rich people dont want to finance old people retirements and creating medical deserts helps cut out on those expenses. just slave ur life working until the first cancer hits up. abolishing abortions also help create unintended fresh waves of workforce and keep the ratio of jobs offer/candidates just at the right spot and as minimal as possible. can people do something about all of this ? i really dont know…

should also cancel to Egypt while at it

They’re not “powered” by fresh water

tbh i am not responsible for what u did understand. ur mind, ur rules. i hate to repeat myself but what i meant is that using fresh water to fill the locks passively using gravity albeit it is tempting it is in fact a waste of fresh water. so saving fresh water must be a priority and instead we could actively fill the locks using sea water, but at an energy cost, yet it is durable since energy is abundant (especially clean forms of thereof). tbh i am waiting on the day when i can mute notifications of replies to my comments, such a distraction really…

very reliable cloud

why can’t the US solve navigation issues in the Mississippi when there’s a massive drought? And then blaming them poor people in Mississippi

that is a federal problem for which the federal government is responsable. Likewise, i was accusing the government of Panama, not its people

like all old century inventions, the thing isn’t sustainable since fresh water is finite, and the next thing close to regenerating those fresh reserves is energy-hungry desalination. might as well adress the problem head-on and power the canal with a power plant to actively fill the locks with sea water…but since its run by a third world country, i doubt they would do anything about it and instead act complacent and let things run their course

lets see how this would pan out. also europeans didn’t make their ariane rockets as profitable as spacex did, and never achieved booster vertical landing. Spacex has a record of delivering on their promises, so they kinda should be taken seriously.

they aren’t creating any value: oil will be irrelevant because it got so much weaponized that it incentivized spending for renewables. Oil rich middle eastern countries invest in laughable assets like F1 teams and airlines, anything that would promote oil use. Airlines will ultimatly go instinct once SpaceX starts shuttling people across the globe in less than one hour, instead of what used to be 12 hour flights (less than 8 hour flights shouldn’t be feasable by Starship, or aren’t economically viable). Such countries have alot of money and just keep investing in trends.

if each worker was guaranteed 5mbit of download, there probably were about 75 units maybe lol, or 50 if the mine was served by 3 shifts per day

so not working under rain is just a myth? would be worth it otherwise then. because people living at the equator would be struggling otherwise

:(

true, makes all the sense. also it sucks that isps are leeching on taxpayer handouts, with no value in return

thats cool, when a gov or a state decides to fund such thing. but also companies like google or meta piggybacking on isps by using excessive amounts of bandwidth, they should fund network installations like this instead, it least lay the grounds for relays and whatnot.

about to read it

are u a tech nomad haha ? if u are please stop paying portugese rent with californian salary or whatever, u would ruin it for locals. not cool bro! cool if u dont 👌

i remember reading someone saying that he was paying 70$/month for a 4Mb/s downstream (wtf), and probably was comcast. what a shitty company that is

possibly

i ll give it a look, thanks

There are a lot of things to dislike about him and some things each company does, but that needs to be separated out for each company. Elon’s attitude has nothing to do with Starlink’s performance, but some online commenters will try to mix them.

yea, totally agree on this

would be cool if there was a terminal that could support 1Gbit download, but probably would cost 1k$ per month and terminal would cost…4k$ ?, but also could take it anywhere: hongkong, australia, chile, the arctic, u name it…
