Understanding this doesn't make it any less annoying. I'm sure I'll grow accustomed to it eventually and it won't bother my brain anymore but I live in butt-**** Missouri and man... that shit is bright out here without light pollution from the city. |

IBM over DEC in a nutshell. When you sell a lesser product because they superior product isn't run by marketing majors.

Well it was run by engineers, and that's why their superior equipment was never able to compete with Big Blue's well-trained sales force.
Anybody I know from that era who had to work on both platforms know exactly what I'm talking about. The Alpha chip should have killed IBM, but they just didn't know how to market it. But we sure loved being the group using DEC while the others labored to get their IBM stuff to run. Sales is king..

Elon either truly wants to save the planet/humanity or he is lying about it. I see no reason to believe he is lying about it. You can have good intentions and still desire to be phenomenally wealthy. Followers don't care.
"AKA marketing" is more like Ford calling their turbo chargers, "ecoboost". Ford doesn't have ecoboost fanatics. |

God I miss DEC! Hell, and if you're old enough to remember, I still have the jar of Vaseline (laugh all you want!!!) that I used back in the day for making clean vampire tap connections on thick-wire Ethernet for the backends () of the clusters and into the routers. DECnet, DELNIs, VTs, all things that make me hard! Yeah, that's when network engineers new our shit and could run the VAX too... Running ribbon cable in AGS and AGS+ routers, 20-part IOS volumes on the shelf. Good times...

I have this theory, that if I sent a hand written letter to every billionaire on earth asking for a couple million dollars. And resend it every week and pester them stating my cause. Perhaps they might just give it to me eventually. It only takes one.
Elon giving me 2M is like $2 dollars to the average joe. I'll be a pro billionaire wealth peddler.

There are concerns from astronomers, but it appears SpaceX is trying to work with them to minimize the interference. For us regular folk it shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully the issues for astronomers can be resolved. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/s...astronomy.html Also, considering there are no stars in your picture, I would counter that you have no night sky left to pollute.

https://www.slashgear.com/spacex-has...tion-28618591/ Consider all the current satellites as beta. They still aren't doing laser communications between satellites. I expect this is an issue they'll be working on through 2021.
