Starlink's sats are 30-60x closer to earth than other satellite providers (500-1000km vs 35,000km), so their coverage area is lower as well. In that sense they are competing more with mobile telecom (Verizon, T-Mobile, etc). As Starlin

If you're shopping for a Macbook Pro, gaming is the extremely narrow use-case, no? Edit: various benchmarks seem to show the M1 Max games at about the FPS of a RTX 3060L (though with lower power). It's around the same price as a s

Am I forgetting anything from the Sonos saga? 2019: Growth problems. Sonos states 92% of their sold products are still in active use. Creates “Recycle Mode” which bricks the device if you upgrade through them, and asks you recycle your no

This link states in 2018 Apple (1st place on reliability with 665 pts) was 2-3x more reliable than Samsung (2nd place 270 pts). Then in 2019 Apple suddenly became half as reliable (now 130pts) as Samsung? Seems suspect at best. They seem to

Alternative take: USPS is really quite a remarkable business and worth learning about as a case study - from their fleet, to eating 90s darling FedEx alive, to overcoming artificially created political pressures (eg PECA), to becoming Amazo

This is wonderful news, 13,000 sightings in one location is 6x more than ALL western US locations last year. Western US populations have collapsed: 4.5m in 80s, 1.2m in 1997, to 100k in 2002, to 2k in 2020.[1][2] One issue is Monarch larva

Honest answer - maybe. Amazon is so rampant with fraud parts[1] and shoes it's hard to know there as well. Best to buy "nice" things elsewhere than Amazon. For me 100% no-go on Amazon is anything that goes in or on your body,

Well said. CA immigrants paid ~$50bn in taxes in 2018, ~50% naturalize, a million are business owners.[1] Almost 40% of Silicon Valley is immigrants. Half of all immigrants that come to the US land in California. Most from Asia and Europe.
