I understand it as the receivers were deliberately attacking their competitors satellites (and that this would effect their performance as it was wasting bandwidth).

Countering in this case would be by making their competitors service as bad as theirs?

I assume in this case it’s DDOSing the satellite,not the other way round?

True

Once you have a tower, you can start to upgrade it too. Consoles are all or nothing replacements.

Or things like aluminium smelting/electrolysis.

On crypto, if it’s green energy and there is enough of it, what’s wrong? (It’s not great, and a waste of hardware, but not as awful)

Good for them! Theoretically that should attract industries that need a lot of electricity and everything balances out cost and demand wise.

Did you read the article, they address that and how this detects that (apparently)

It does mention that they send some of these in, and sometimes they get responses back that they are fine.

That covers all of your senior engineers that end up spending more time speccing/investigating things than code.

This kind of tool is probably very useful in ‘fiefdom’ companies where middle managers refuse to fire people because then they lose a headcount, or just protect their cronies. Having a central team that cuts across the company investigating that would be a good idea.

Unfortunately in a lot of cases, I can see people being fired off that even though they are doing other work, just because management don’t understand what they do. Or worse because someone sells the tool as being flawless and they just fire anyone it picks up.

If there was more competition they (probably) wouldn’t be doing this stuff as people would leave.

But that billion would be more impactful to the UK economy over the US one due to their respective sizes.

Would be totally worth it though, not that it would happen.

That’s a much better article, ty

Where was the data processing comment

Does this effect showing derived data to other people?

Something like wandrer.earth isn’t really competing, I hope that’s allowed (and doesn’t block any plans they have)

I’m not sure where the treasury slush fund accusation comes from?

On the actually change - if moving I to bugger funds allows for them to actually own companies etc, then I think this is a good idea.

But if they are forced to invest for economic growth instead of pension fund growth, then that’s bad.

If the local funds are big enough to do proper investment, then this probably isn’t worth it anyway.

That’s stupid, notepad is meant to be simple…

Don’t the metal ones have the year on to shame you into buying a new one?

O get them because the lifespan of a paper/plastic one is about 3 days…

Having one superconstilation up there is fine, my concern is that once there are 2 or 3 of them, the communication between them to avoid each other will become a mess

Anyone wanting to put vulnerabilities into Linux is probably capable of not looking like they are in Russia…

There was that video from a few months ago from… Prints with layers I think? That looked at the actual particulate and volatile counts and found that PLA actually gave off very little? Other plastics were much worse.

So remember that the particle counts matter as much as the danger of the particles.

(Disclaimer, that was a video, not a peer reviewed scientific paper)

They have no exhaust visible and where shown as off on the display.
