It's 2026, and everyone already carries a high bandwidth digital radio with them. It's called a cell phone.
In a real emergency, it is usually worthless, unless maybe it has an FM radio receiver. FM isn't worthless in an incident, it's just not as useful as AM.
AM is good for sending out information during a disaster which includes power outage, when the cellular network will crater whether it's affected by the outages or not. And it will be, because some sites' generators won't work, or they don't have much fuel to begin with. Everyone can have solar and hand crank generators for their phones and still have them be worthless.
Classic Slopdot, I got modded down for my comment while he's using Claude to "write" the code.
and is secure because it doesn't rely on a JIT compiler
Is this what Claude told you to put in your comment?
You've failed to understand the concept of a secure enclave.
He said, while failing to understand that it's for controlling our use of our computers. Eyeroll all day.
If the user has no control over it, then it's for the control of the user.
The idea as presented as being in the user's benefit is that the user can control it, but applications cannot.
Is it holding it between the index and middle fingers? "Got your gene! I got your gene!"
This version has a dumber headline, so it's like a whole new story! Three people didn't like it!
which eventually led to a vehicle search and charges of possessing drugs with intent to distribute
Yeah that's some old shit. Anyone look at the case enough to know what the evidence was? Was it just quantity or was it packaged?
America had a republic until Lincolns' War of Northern Aggression.
Oh look, it's the hipster maggot come along to tell us all how great slavery was.
If one spends a lot of money on something, it is kind of save to assume he has done his math.
No, it's reasonable. It's not safe.
The other part of that is that you're not necessarily doing the same equation, they may be solving for something something different.
the us has been fascist for a very long time
The US has been oligarchic and authoritarian all along, and has behaved towards some other nations much like a fascist nation would do, but in general has not subjected the general citizenry to full blown fascism. It's been horrible to everyone other than landed white males all along, though.

And you presumably are
What? Presumably are what? No one can hear you over your cowardice.
It's just a matter, or question, of scale.
If you can recognize that, then you should be able to do the math and figure out why it won't work. A quick napkin-based computation is sufficient. If I can do it, you can do it.
If we had reasonable regulations then a data center could go anywhere and not be a problem, but since we don't, they can only go into unpopulated places with lots of water and power without causing harm. Normal DCs can just go into ordinary commercial zones because they use, while elevated, not completely obscene amounts of power and therefore water. And to return to the topic, this illustrates why AI DCs don't make sense in space, because cooling is harder in space than it is here.
I bet a lot of those investors just want their name on a satellite
This seems essentially sane if they have money to burn...
or think they'll make tons from the companies stocks when the orbital DC idea works.
They read too much sci-fi, not enough science fact, or both.
