Notice how they are focusing on Ukraine in this announcement trying to bolster Putin's propaganda narrative for invading Ukraine. This administration hates Zelensky because of some secret server that he wouldn't hand over with some kind of Hunter Biden evidence that they are willing to help Russia destroy a country and enslave it. Tulsi is a moron...along with the rest of the administration. It is all bullshit...
Such bullshit coming from a Russian assets. This is the lady who spoke fondly of Assad, Putin, etc. This entire administration is filled with complete morons and inept people who are in positions that are well beyond their abilities. 3 more years of these morons are surely going to destroy the country. Clown show for morons....
That's not going to help, price spikes are locked in at this point, even if we got a deal this minute. It would be marginaly better simply because it would improve sentiment.
He does. He's just stuck in between his previous rethoric about the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) and his misreading of IRGC capabilities and will.
He can't take a worse deal than the Obama deal he spent years criticizing then personally destroyed, and the Iranians don't seem very inclined to give him anything better.
I have been reading that the deal basically includes almost everything Iran has been asking for. Perhaps, the folks around Trump understanding the cliff we are racing for are keeping Trump out of the loop and hope he will just sign something because the pain that is coming has the potential to force a ground war America is not prepared for.
Once Iran closed the Strait, Trump's surrender became inevitable. The rest has been a combination of him slowly coming to terms with the inevitability of that outcome, and buying time to come up with a way to spin the catastrophe as a success.
The only way to spin it as a success is to decouple the US from international news sources. Otherwise everyone will be aware that Iran is spinning it as an Iranian victory, and enough people will ask "well, who actually won?" and look at the actual results. And in that reckoning, Trump will have lost.
Unless... unless the government of Iran falls during the stalling. If they get no oil revenue... maybe? Could it happen?
The US consumer cellular subscription service is around 185 billion a year and if you add business/enterprise it is around 225 billion a year. If they were able (highly unlikely) to capture that market in the US alone through Satellite Cellular service, it would be huge revenue stream. Setting up data centers in orbit (easier said than done) would be another huge revenue stream. Setting up facilities to beam down energy to earths surface could also be an opportunity.
If I learned a good lesson, it's never say never....

There's practically no way there's enough RF spectrum to handle that many clients from even LEO. There's a reason why carriers are moving to smaller and smaller and smaller cells, and places like sports venues have highly directional antenna arrays to handle the number of active clients. Will there be customers? Sure. Probably a lot! Will it be an actually massive chunk of the overall subscriber base mostly using their networks? Not a chance.
They can't even get capacity up enough to support their rural customers on practically idealized antenna array hardware.

What applications demand that kind of premium on cost of running? Why choose that instead of terrestrial datacenters? What's the overall use-case for why one should bother deploying their applications into a space datacenter? I'm genuinely asking. Aside from needing to ensure low-ish latency to the most remote parts of the world and being willing to pay whatever to have that, I don't get it.
Still have yet to hear how data centers in space are actually supposed to be a good thing when cooling them is much harder than on earth because they are in a near vacuum with much less heat dissipation.

Also interested to learn how this is done without creating a death ray with potentially catastrophic consequences
So if all the current telcos in the US lose all of their customers and SpaceX captures 100% of them without degrading the current margin/pricing at all, they are 5% of their way to the $4.3t goal. And the only way I can see that happening is from government mandate - which if things don't change I guess never say never. But still a very very very long way off
SpaceX published their datacenter satellite plans, I think they assumed that if they hid their radiators from the sun, they can consider space temperature to be 3-5K. Which is a fairly good assumption if:
- you have a perfect shadow on all side (no light is reflected from a nearby celestial body)
- and nothing is radiating nearby. Earth radiate a lot, I space temperature around the iss is fairly high.
I'm fairly sure the current design either need high temp chips or needs to be far from LEO. Or they will have to make the radiators bigger.
Okay, so in 14 years they replace all cell phone service in the US achieving 6% of the revenue goal. Just have to find another 15 “all cell phone service in US” and do it all in 14 years and we are golden.
Just add a whole Apple worth of revenue yearly and they can just barely make it.
A patient that is functionally cured shouldn't pass on the disease. Since it is cleared from the blood and the viral DNA is undetectable, it is not replicating anymore, so it can't be transmitted. They risk is not absolute since the dormant virus is still genetically encoded in the liver.
Vote for whom? The political establishment is locking out an entire generation of younger politicians too.
Asking those who have only been able to vote for a few years to have solved the problems, in a system where power is gained only through the accumulation of decades of experience, is, well blaming the victims.
The greed of older generations, their lack of compassion and understanding, and their narcissism are all to blame.
Young people are entering a system built by others with the ladders already pulled up. Violent revolution is the only way they could have changed the system in a short time, and nobody wants that.
The entire job market and economy is dismal in Canada. Unless you are working for the Gov, you're kind of fucked. New grads have few opportunities, many try to find meaningful work in the US or abroad. Does anyone actually take this announcement seriously?
It's just a nice story....
>The government expects the strategy to increase the country's gross domestic product by 3%, unlocking nearly C$200 billion as commercialization and use of AI in key sectors increases labor productivity.
More layoffs through adoption of AI to replace jobs.
>Canada will establish a C$500 million Canadian Tech Growth Fund to help close the capital gap at Canadian AI companies versus U.S. tech giants.
500 million? Google et al spend that in a day.
>The government will use a C$500 million initiative from the Business Development Bank of Canada to finance access to AI tools for Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises.
The hoops you will have to jump through for access will make it entirely not worth it.
