The problem with geosynchronous orbit is that you need to be at a high altitude to maintain it. That increases the packet round trip time to a receiver on the ground. Starlink satellites orbit low enough to give a theoretical 20ms ping. A geostationary satellite would be at best 500ms. It’s fine for some tasks but lousy for applications that need low latency, like video calling.

It sounds like MBA word salad. “We’re adding AI to the phone system somehow”.

Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.

It’s true. People were saying it on the tv!

Of course they’re not interfering. The last time they did that with the railway, it cost them their supply and confidence deal with the NDP. If they do it again, do they think the Cons and the NDP will hold back on a confidence vote?

Is your government really worth whatever you’re personally getting from industry CEOs?

Every piece of shit they make that I bought ended up broken and in the trash within a couple of weeks.

If you eat a fang and it gouges into your skin and injects venom, did you eat it or did you get bitten?

I thought this was a copypasta but you seem to be banging out originals everywhere! Kudos.

“If the two parties are unable to reach an agreement, we will begin drafting legislation to re-nationalize the company”

It’s not food, it’s a lumpy drink.

But people in the area worry if drivers are causing the damage, the fixes could soon need their own fixes.

Perhaps drivers wouldn’t damage the divider if they built it a bigger taller than 2 inches? Why not… curb height?

Yup. I was using self checkout once and it flagged me when I was trying to pay but didn’t say why. The supervisor was on top of it and unlocked the terminal and it made him watch a 5 second video of “suspicious activity”, which was me moving my reusable bag to the other side at a low angle. Some AI they use saw that as trying to sneak an unscanned product past the scanner.

I thought it was terribly clever but he just rolled his eyes and apologized for the inconvenience. As if an underpaid Walmart employee is going to waste their time arguing with a shoplifter.

Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!

Please don’t give the engineers any more ideas.

“My designation is one of one. Sigh.”

Lmao, first time trying this game and I thought it was broken. Too bad I didn’t use that luck on something bigger!

At first I didn’t like this, but then I noticed the apology at the bottom.

lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein is one the books I read during my formative years that I still think about a lot.

If you like graphic novels, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman is fantastic. Great writing and great artwork.
