Is your impression that the service is improving? [We are South of the 45th parallel, by the way.] I think service is improving for us; we don't get the regular 5-10 second disconnects that were occurring every 10 or 15 minutes. Accor

Our Starlink connection (backup WAN) recently switched from a New York ip to one near Chicago. I think we've switched to a downlink station that is geographically closer and we're getting better pings and, possibly, better throu

What are some examples of "problematic ideas"?

This seems analogous to Howard Stern moving from terrestrial radio to satellite radio. Big financial win for the star, but ultimately less accessible content for the casual listeners. That being said, I think every show has been pirated an

I don't know anything about the "stories" you're referring to, but the website I linked to also provides data on the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union's: 1. Basic info (including membership, which has si

So, you're implying the 11 union decertification petitions in the link I provided are fake or something?

MD certainly isn't the first niche media format to surprise onlookers with its staying power. Laserdisc lived for many years past the advent of DVD, too.

The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union hasn't always worked out for those workplaces that have brought them in.* In this instance, maybe unions aren't the solution to the "problem" or maybe the problem doesn&#x

I had no idea NetMD and Hi-MD were things. Sony certainly shows determination when it comes to continuing development of their technology (even when it's clear they'll only ever be a niche player).

Be sure you get to the penultimate paragraph: "After we approached Google, the company also blocked all the hate phrases that we pointed out were in conflict with the social and racial justice ad blocks. Google began blocking innocuous

Thanks. Your article echos the claims in the JBIS article of gravitational perturbations affecting the orbital dynamics of comets, etc. There's also the interesting (though highly speculative) dynamic of dark matter particle accretio
