The only group more insufferable than tech people is anti-tech bluesky users, who have been coming back to X in droves the last few weeks.
And they’re just discovering that the entire world got rich over the last two years while they were busy arguing with each other about politics and AI.
And they’re very, very angry.

“Expert says”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is there a better expert than Elon and his team?
Those who can’t do, teach.
The world is full of teachers.
Short on creators.

SPACEX: Today, SpaceX was granted patent US 12,757,141 B1.
A Starlink satellite talks to phones on the ground through many narrow beams at once. A phone near the middle of a beam is closer to the satellite than a phone at the edge, so its signal arrives a little sooner. Cellular networks expect those arrivals to line up. If they do not, calls and data can slip out of step.
This patent is how SpaceX fixes this. For each short slice of time, the satellite measures how long the signal takes on every beam, using the distance from the satellite to a reference point inside that beam’s footprint. It then holds the faster beams in a buffer just long enough that every beam matches the slowest one. The phone sees one steady delay instead of a mix.
The patent covers the satellite computer and the phased-array antenna that do this, plus the link from the satellite through a gateway into a normal mobile carrier’s network.
Operating safely in space requires knowing where satellites and objects are – and where they will be in the future. This requires all operators sharing their satellites’ ephemeris data, along with predicted trajectories and planned maneuvers → space-safety.com

Was sind das für Pfeifen von Manager!

So wie sich die Hauptstadtschreiber von FAZ, Stern & Co jetzt vor Amthor werfen, beweist vor allem eines: in diesem Land fehlt es dramatisch an kritischer Distanz zwischen Politik und Medien.

Private Systeme belohnen Erfolg und bestrafen Fehler durch Wettbewerb.
Der Staat dagegen wird Fehler immer institutionalisieren, weil ihm ein wirksamer Mechanismus zur Korrektur und zum Scheitern fehlt.
Was einmal als Behörde geschaffen wurde, bleibt daher immer bestehen – selbst wenn es Schaden verursacht.

A system where you have to justify your income to a government that doesn't have to justify its spending is inherently illegitimate.
