Odd. Listed as posted 3 days ago in the search, but pointing at this edition. This specific article must have hit the second chance filter.
There's plenty of other reviews dated a month ago however.

Why is there a limit? Because budgets are limited, and products need to be completed.
43 CFR 2920
If this is true and not just an assumption (FWIW, I think you're wrong - human nature is not that logical when in fight or flight brain) it should be possible to come up with numbers to back this up. There are many locations in the US where the default is not to chase.
As a side note, they have to detain someone while waiting. That someone's care is also legally in their hands at that point; it doesn't make a lot of sense from a civilian safety perspective to just set them on the side of the highway.
Why? The biggest problem I can think of is that they have a shorter range, but for a fire truck or ambulance the extra weight for longer range wouldn't really be an issue. The lower maintenance requirements might also mean ambulances won't be the shitshow that private ambulance companies make them right now.
In the worst case scenario, I imagine there would be more priority for a vehicle which can provide power to on-scene electric vehicles, which is something frequently done for lighting up scenes even today.
That said, I don't see these coming today or tomorrow. In a couple of years, though, we'll start seeing them more.
- Light bars/electronics/sirens
- Armoring
- Ability to detain suspects
The first is going to be required for every police or sheriff cruiser.
The second will reduce casualties (arguably for both sides) in an armed engagement. Ideally required for any action which could create an armed engagement. Because a minimum of one side is always armed, every encounter can become an armed engagement. Huzzah USA etc. etc.
The third is required if the police officer will ever respond to anything that isn't giving out a parking ticket. Traffic stops can include anything from an armed engagement down to a drunk driver or peaceful execution of an outstanding warrant. Then there's simple responding to calls, which can also include all of the above.
The lack of ability to detain someone means you need (as stated in the article) more officers responding to an engagement.
Citation needed.
Please forgive me if I request a citation. Especially since the information you've provided so far has all been contradicted by official Starlink sources.
These are absolutely tied to accounts, to addresses, to billing information.
There have been no updated tweets. Seems like something they'd want to keep updated, given they are still tweeting about new countries being added to their service.
> I have 1k from the starlink engineer on ground and he said they've sold about the same amount to others.
Who? Where? How much congestion do they expect with the influx of so many new users (they're already upcharging/slowing down users due to congestion in the US)? With all due respect, this is frustratingly similar to "Trust me bro".
I have no doubt that Starlink - especially their rank and file employees - is trying to help, but we need to keep our expectations realistic on how much they can or will do. Especially with Musk as the helm. Musk lies on X, especially when it comes to who and what has access to Starlink, and doubly when it comes to politicized situations, which I'm sad to say Hurricane Helene is.

The long story short is that there are byzantine failure methods which prevent a 50 year computer. A sample:
- Capacitors can act as bullets
- Forced air cooling creating water
- The smaller the parts, the greater the chance they'll transmute to another part. Even, or especially in solid state parts.
- Digital isn't (i.e. 1 isn't really full voltage, and 0 isn't really no voltage).
- Thermal expansion matters, even for ICs on a board.
- Wire length, and the position of sensors on that wire, matters.
A 50 year computer would probably have to be one in which each part can and is replaced on a schedule. And the faster the computer is, the more often parts would need to be replaced. Additionally, if we want 100% uptime there would also have to be sufficient redundancies to ensure that the computer could continue operating during failures or replacements of components.
Per Musk and the official starlink detail document, it's available for existing and new customers in affected areas.
Starlink on X said they sent ~500 kits as of 10/1, not 2000. Do you have a source for the 2k number?
Sources: Starlink on X, Musk on X, and the Starlink details page on the free service respectively.
"After 30 days, we will move you to a paid Residential subscription, tied the location you are using it in at that time. We will reevaluate as necessary based on conditions in the area. Starlink will notify you as the 30 day mark approaches to remind you of the change."
There's the argument that they shouldn't be on the road due to their higher weight, but I'll disagree with that line of argument in advance.
There's a few good folks on youtube that discuss some of the more nitty gritty details, if you're interested.
And while ongoing payments are unusual, it's still basically a severance package. Those dock workers no longer work at the docks because they were let go due to automation. Do they have other jobs? Probably. The article doesn't provide any info about that either.
It is the NY Post though. So I'm not super surprised by the lack of substance, just allegations.
The replacement of hunter-gatherers by farming is a change that took centuries to take hold. Nobody lost their ability to feed their family because their ability to hunt and gather was automated away. Ironically, the move away from hunter/gatherer subsistence took free time away (for things like storytelling) instead of adding to it, in exchange for greater reliability in their sustenance.
The loss of entire swaths of employment is a fairly new development. As is the lack of safety nets (US Centric for obvious reasons) for those who become injured or otherwise unable to sustain themselves.
On a more serious note, this is a cool application of the technological advancement in AI voice models, and inevitable in today's society. It just really sucks to watch this race to the bottom actively put people out of work.
But hey, at least we can save a few bucks on an audiobook, right?
As much as I cherished those books when I first read them, many never made it to a second reading. And the feelings the physical books evoked has faded over years. So they were donated to a library, so that another person may build their own memories and feelings.
Plus, I'd be up to three walls now with all the books I have on my device, let alone those I've read on KU.
Balance fixes (yes, in single player games) show that this is not always the case. Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring have both had several gameplay tactics nerfed.
If winning is on the line, it doesn't matter who the opponent is.
