> SpaceX Corp. has launched six Starlink satellites that can provide internet access for smartphone users without requiring them to purchase additional hardware such as antennas.
Unless it's heating I don't think it uses much power. If you'd like I can plug mine into a kill-a-watt and see the draw. I can't imagine it's more than 100W all told, which the UPS it is connected to will run with the switches for probably a full day, and I have a specific generator for recharging UPS (a Honda with an inverter, clean enough power.)
They don't move or anything during use, and they beamform which drastically reduces the power needed. At least this is my understanding.
That's easy. Generator, UPS. I used my UPS to keep my fibre up for a couple hours when the outage happened. At some point after that the local DSLAM lost power too though, I guess they only have limited batteries too.
The Starlink mini model is also easily powerable by battery without 220V converter.
You're right, the idea is so absurd. Must be some glitch in the matrix that a business like Uber has been operating successfully for more than a decade and is currently profitable. Now imagine if the chief operating expenditure (drivers) were eliminated too. Certainly such a business would fail, of course.
The comment here is glib and against community guidelines, but it should be somewhat obvious the ability for someone to be in the car and regulate poor behavior helps.
Strangers in your (personally owned and financed) vehicle who could trash it and leave you with... no vehicle or one that is slightly damaged, would cause at the very least a headache to you, the owner, and insurance on your vehicle to rise.
> Please just add it up and send me the bill. I don't want to pay more than what's due. And I don't want to cheat.
I have a hard time understanding this comment because this is exactly what employers do when paying out RSUs.
At the end of the year, you get a 1099 indicating the fair market value of shares you've received. There's no trickery here--this is literally the amount you owe income tax on.
I'm not sure what tax software you're using that requires you to guess inputs and numbers. TurboTax makes this trivially straightforward.
Apple products have always been status symbols and this Macbook is no different.
One could easily put together a significantly more powerful Linux desktop for a lower price. This has always been the case, but Apple's marketing tries to convince you otherwise. Honestly, I've always been surprised by how effectively their marketing has misled the tech-savvy crowd on HN.
You can’t simply swap OSX for Linux. I heavily use accessibility tools that are just not comparable on Linux. These tools probably cost more than the laptop, even though Apple include it in the OS.
A quote from that page claims that Bake saves complexity by removing "all the flags and environment variables" from a build command, but as far as I can tell, all those flags and environment variables are still there, they're just now defined even more verbosely in an HCL file...
> the container was spraying files all over the disk
Right, that's basically the point...the Warrior downloads files, compresses them, and uploads them for archival. This necessarily requires staging the files somewhere between download and upload.

Why would you want this? This sounds like a terrible footgun.
Cloudflare has been blocking "mainstream" browsers too, if you are generous enough to consider Firefox "mainstream." The "verify you are a human" sequence gets stuck in a perpetual never-ending loop where clicking the checkbox only refreshes the page and presents the same challenge. Certain websites (most notably archive.is) have been completely inaccessible for me for years for this reason.
Do you have something that blocks some amount of scripts? I need to allow third party scripts from either Google or Cloudflare to get a lot of the web to function.
