There are direct replacements for diesel and gasoline which we know how to make and which we absolutely could use to replace our transportation fuels without switching to EVs. And you can just read about them on the Internet, they are not secret.

If you don't care enough about a subject to learn about it then don't make declarative statements about it.

From what I can see optimum has replaced the coax coming into my home at least twice before I moved in. It was good enough that they didn't have to do it again for me.

Hahahhahahaahahhhaa

Suck harder, comrade. Putin will give you your reward any day now.

Fuck you, orc apologist.

They didn't create NATO because Russians were nice guys.

They did it because Russia has been the aggressor again and again throughout history.

If they would just stop invading neighbors there wouldn't even need to be a NATO.

Yeah no shit it does surprising things, it's using random numbers you fucknut.

We went from "Reusable rockets? That's Nuts!" to "who can stop Elon" in about 10 years.

Rocket reuse wasn't a real thing until Falcon did it in 2017, Starlink came in 2018. It was a chicken egg problem, people just don't realize how close the rocket reuse was to the first Starlink.

Getting stuff into orbit is one thing, rocket reuse is another. Lots of people are still trying to get reuse, and SpaceX is slowly retiring Falcon 9 for the Next Big Thing, reuse of two stages of rockets. Three years ago, that idea was still considered nuts. V3 Starlink can't ride on Falcon 9. They (Starship/V3 Starlink) are tandem projects.

Light is light.

Starlink V3 is not using radio, it's using Lasers. The coherent beam is the key to Terabit speeds. Which they already have. Multipath Terabit Low Latency World Wide Network? Nobody has that right now. Earth bound pathways are limited, especially across the huge H20 Holding tanks between land masses. Space offers nearly unlimited pathways, redundancies unimaginable using earth based fiber.

Here's an article explaining some of the problem: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Farstechnica.com%2Fgadget...

Long Term thinking isn't profitable in the short term. And it is much riskier to bet long term than short term.

The correct view a blend of aggressive short term with long term values.

Comcast could have taken the aggressive short term and built out before anyone else, AND THEN CHARGED MORE while they were still a monopoly. They still have cable in my house, and I've replaced it with faster fiber for less. They simply dropped the ball.

Shilling for nuclear is anti environment because we can get more for less with renewables. We can see straight through you.

We've been making steady (if too-slow) improvements and the actions taken by Trump have erased them. So you can't blame the whole situation on him, but you can certainly place the blame for our reversal on him and his cronies.

You only have to remember that Slashdot does literally nothing to curb willfully abusive moderation, and it will all make sense.

I get modded down by obviously racist mods every day. So yes, it's obvious that AC comments are 99.999% shit, and you're 100% troll.
