While i would love to have 1 gb, 50mbit is not bad and every normal person i know of, wouldn't call it bad at all or see it as an issue.

So not a problem
The payload we send to space is very limited and the 300% increase in the few last years was ONLY starlink itself.
Thats the issue Musk has to sell it to the investors and his idea is datacenter payload.
Just that he would need to send 300 Starships up there to even install a smallish datacenter like his own colossus 1.
Starship is not done yet, we have not seen it fly up there and return for 300 times at all.
Finding it would be very easy as these houses are not huge houses, enter the house, snip the cables.
Besides that, its all hypotetical. Just because in some random shitty neigherhood this issue exists, doesn't mean anything anyway.
They need Starship to be able to send v3 up, without v3 it doesn't scale well enough.
Starship still hasn't proven it can actually bring up the relevant payload high enough and they need it to be reusable otherwise costs will increase.
And they already exist and only have 10 Million customers. They need to get countries on their side like India but these countries are not stupid. Elon Musk showed them very clearly what he can do like his statements he did when Ukraine war started.
Starlink increased prices just a fwe weeks ago.
So whats stoping the future starlink explosion?
Right now we do not even have the antenna technology in current high end smartphones for 'easy to use, normal speed' mobile to satelite communication.
And funny enough, the more local mobile phones you would have, which want to send data to a satelite, the harder the problem gets due to interference.
With 5g we do already a lot of beam forming etc. Try beamforming into 500km space with uncoordinated random amount of mobile devices with very very little sending power and one satelite 'beamforming' its a few hundred square miles.
And Starlink already increased prices again.
And without Sparship and prooving that they actually can reuse it, they can't hold the price point.
Starlink satelites do not scale very well. They need v3 and even with v3 this doesn't scale efficently.
Starlink brought internet to a lot of people who had it before already but made it easier for them.
Its still quite a interesting technology, given, but for the fact that he destroys potentially our atmosphere, has control over war critical tech, can do survailance and wants to send out A Lot MORE into our space, its a net negative for at least 7-8 BILLION people while 10 Millionen people benefit from it.
And they even increased the price just a few weeks back...
For less starving people? For less child abuse? For less climate change?
I look up at the night sky and i want to see stars and the endlessness of the universe and don't want to be reminded that Elon Musk will poisen our atmosphere.
Was it not a big issue for you that aeroplanes were flying overhead?
Whos responsibility was it that you were living were you lived?
I guess there is a small difference between being able to choose or parents have choosen for you vs. everyone on the whole planet needs to endure it.
And the way Elon Musk acts, its very well in his line to be just a massive dick about everything.
of course you have to grow as a human being to have empathy and still not act on it, but it gives you a different mental model.
I don't see a homeless person as garbage, i see a homeless person as a human being who struggles and i accept that i can't help everyone.
Adelson Family as donor to Trump and Bibi.
Other donors might have motivated him too: Bernard Marcus and Paul Singer
I can't collect though a list of sources to read through for my statements. But i don't think my view is very controversal at all.
Elon Musks fault or offend is trying to influence my countries democracy. That from the richest US American Immmigrant from South Afrika.
I find this quite dangerous and something to fight against.
And just because you don't care about this at all, you wouldn't try to remind people what a Elon Musk is and you don't care about his influence and how he gets his money.
I do.
But i spend same amount of time and energy than you on this comment threat.
Elon Musk might break our atmosphere with his starlink stuff.
He tried to affect my own democracy in my own country by doing a lifestream with the AfD (german right wing/nazi party).
Do you care about democracy? I do.
They knew already that Iran might not belly up just because their leadership gets killed. And they knew very well how Iran is fighting (in the mountains) and that they will close the strait of hormuz
Trump overruled it. He thought it was as easy as venezuela and he might have assumed that the civil unrest helps.
No consequences anymore?
No reminder of what Grok stands for?
Lets forget eh?
Isreals only power to doing so, was knowing USA was behind it.
The USA Military was quite aware that killing Irans Leadership is not 'it'.
But Trump saw how well venezuela worked so that was it.
Yeah USA politics is not 4D Chess.
I think high direct movability (like droping a few meters or shifting left/right) might be the next bigger thing for these. Easy enough to add, will make it even harder for air defence missiles catching them.
Besides, the air defence missiles are a lot more expensive than what a drone does.
And in Russia you saw another huge issue: How to shoot down a drone in your city without missing it and destroying something else?
How much payload do you need anyway? Like imagine oil refinery: how much kilo of c4 do you need? I don't think that much.
Or imagine a formation of drones with small payloads and starting to crash in one house wall like into putins palace or the white house.
I do not mean Suckerberg or Eric Schmidt.
I think for a lot of type of software we have now reached peak employment.
Someone payed a few k just for a normal website.
I do not know if competition is good, we will see in a few years.
Looking forward having a physical job for a change :D
Why do you even create an account to do so?
You don't care about other opinions, you don't want to argue at all, so?
You do understand tha "MechaHitler" reference is literaly Grok itself? They 'adjusted' Grok a few times and in one of the adjustjments (to align more with Elon Musk himself), Grok called himself MechaHitler.
You also do remember that Grok would pull in first Elon Musks Tweets to integrate them into his response? Also known.
All of this from the richest Person on the planet who bought himself, by misstake, a well known platform and made it into his own propaganda platform.
Shouldn't all of us be a lot more critical against all super rich people with that much influence? Including Jeff Bezos, Murdochs etc.?
You could put out real arguments instead of just attacking.
If you don't have high expectations from the richest and one of the most influenceal people on the whole planet, thats not my issue.
I follow climate change, social unrest, philosophical question of good/bad, religions, beliefes etc. since i'm 12?
I became a nihilist with 16.
I have put my own life in danger at least twice to save another human.
I read books and understood there messages like 1984, brave new world etc.
He gets flag on HN from me because he is constantly on HN.
Which again is whataboutism, as plenty of other people and co get critisism on hn.
Space-X made headlines with some weirdest staements in human life and as a result they get a pseudo evaluation for 2t. This gives him even more power and influence.
There are enough alternatives here.
I'm highly disappointed that it has to be like this/should be like this, but it gives Elon Musk too much power which he uses to destroy even more.
Also his missing character gives me worries for the future: Not only did he try to manipulate directly the demogracy in germany with going live with AfD, he now also ignorantly burns satelites in our atmosphere and no one is saying no or slow down.
I find the level of Elon Musk followers nearly cult like and find it irritating that so many say "Elon Musk is not Tesla" despite the fact that he is the CEO and owns quite a lot of Tesla shares.
All of this pressure should force Elon Musk to appologize and put him back in his place as a form of social opposition, but this clearly doesn't work
I'm a german and grew up by learning what Nazis did to millions.
I was in a concentration camp. I saw the mountain of luggage.
Elon Musk didn't just do some arm movements, he deliberately used this symbolism.
He could have just appologized, which he did not.
