I think the odds would depend on how big the debris field is, but for non human cargo that might be acceptable, but I have a feeling that might not be the case with people on board, in which case they would need armor.

Edit: for non human cargo it could even be an option. Armored + X payload weight for $100/kg. Unarmored $60/kg + Y payload weight. (Made up numbers)

I wasn’t trying to refute what you said, I was trying to expand on your “it doesn’t prevent you from launching through them.” by explaining the downsides of going through it.

It’s not as simple as just going through it, there are real implications for those years.

Then they should pass a law, not a EO.

Pretty sure he can’t trample states rights like this with a EO

It might not prevent launching through it, but for the years LEO is fucked, you’d need extra armor to withstand potential hits which would eat into your payload capacity.

Kessler syndrome isn’t possible with these LEO constellations.

They are so low the debris would just deorbit themselves in a couple years.

It’s the much much higher orbits where they stay forever that is the problem.

That’s not a good thing, they’ll just see this as a win and start using it even more.

Look at how great SLAM did on that article!

Sadly… being wrong is only temporary.

Kinda weird how 3 posts in this thread call/refer to him as trillionaire… doesn’t seem genuine to me.

Clearly their adoption of rushing out AI generated code is working well.

You can ask an AI to speak in other ways, and make up words along the way.

It wasn’t a documentary someone smuggled from the future?

Supreme court demands AI present its case at hearing

AI speaks incomprehensible gibberish.

Supreme court: it even sounds exactly like Trump, it’s clearly Trump. Approved!

If it happens enough times the prosecution would probably drop it as it would get harder and harder to find a jury who hasn’t seen the news and is maybe getting even more annoyed that they keep trying.

The things Samsung has to resort to, to be able to afford ram for its phones after Samsung cut Samsung off from it’s supply.

Most services today have user accounts so they can store your information, that way if you get a new phone for example, you can just sign into a new device and your content is there. So the maps, your configurations etc, are all sent to a remote server so it just works.

Having to manually connect to the robot each time, when you might not even be in the same country when you want to connect, doesn’t work if it’s all done locally.

Companies that want to offer connected services like this but are privacy centric could let you encrypt it before sending it so they can’t see what the contents are, but then you need to manage the idiot populace and their inability to properly secure this kind of information. Then, you start getting all sorts of support calls like I lost the encryption key and now I can’t access my map! What kind of stupid service makes me remap things when I change phones and forget something!? 1 STAR!

So there’s no really getting around sending some data back to the server, but even IF they have it unencrypted, there’s no reason other than corporate profit taking to also be using that data. They don’t have to, but they will and do.

Thats why any good terms of service have clauses that say if any part of this is deemed unenforceable or not legal or whatever, the rest of the terms remain intact, as I guess at some point in time, people were getting entire documents thrown out based off 1 thing.

I hadn’t really thought about how the furniture is arranged. I wonder if that’s something they sell to designers so they can then see what’s trending. Some of them don’t use cameras, but use lidar, but still getting an overall shape of things would seem useful to a designer.

I’d really only call one of them illegitimate (Goursch), unless you want to get in on other things like Clarence Thomas being a corrupt motherfucker who should be impeached and removed.

We have such copious amounts of excess power but its all in off peak times. We need to build batteries or other storage methods so we can capture it in off peak hours for use during peak hours. It also helps stabilize and strengthen the grid.

We should force these data centers to help foot the bill for that instead of doing the stupid shit they’re doing like portable generators, bring coal plants back online and what not.
