SpaceX has no problem cutting off people who move out of their designated area or are operating in an unauthorized area.
No extraterritorial barriers.
As long as they pay their bills, SpaceX is happy.

IMHO, the most interesting thing they did was with the palette. They were obsessed with getting not just images snapped by the satellite as the sky, but having them actually look good, and even a "smart" mapping algorithm to the in-game palette wasn't good enough for them. So they wrote an algo to simultaneously choose a palette for both the colours in the satellite image and the colours in the game's graphical assets so it would pick colours best for both of them, and then remapped both the satellite image and the game's assets to this new palette. Also, normally satellite images are denoised on the ground, but a partner had gotten a machine learning denoising algo running on the satellite.

One thing they weren't able to deal with was that the game tiles the sky background, which is fine because it's a tileable image, but obviously random pictures of Earth aren't (except the nighttime images, which are all black!). If they had had more time, I imagine they would have set up something like heal selection to merge the edges, but one of the problems was that in order to take images of Earth, the satellite had to be oriented in a way that increased its drag and accelerated its deentry... so ironically, playing DOOM was accelerating the satellite's doom.

Here's a presentation from Ólafur.

Make a cask that lasts 200,000 years, and I will be on your side, otherwise, we are leaving a landmine for future generations to step on (assuming there will be many more generations).

It is easy to know when Trump is making things up, his lips are moving.

It does outrage me how Pharmacy companies, for example, uses research funded by taxpayers, makes a great product, then turns around and charges 100x to customers claiming that they are innovators. As long as Trump does not write his personal name in the contract, as I believe he has done at least once, and the contract is weighted towards the general welfare of Americans, that seems worth a debate.

Should be to unleash the best of individualism, and capitalism. Get the government out of the business of picking winners and losers. Get rid of the regulations that prevent competitors to compete. Monopolies should be broken up. If an individual or small business has a good idea, the path to growth should be made easy.

1st, no illegal aliens voted. That is the "MAGA" boogie man they use on stupid people so that they can cut the voting rolls, healthcare, medicare, and invade cities with the American Military. 2nd. Yes, MAGAs promote any policy that will cut the ability of Citizens to vote based on if that policy will increase MAGA turnout, and decrease their supposed "Evil Enemy" democrat turnout. Trump has flip flopped on voter restrictions in all sorts of ways depending on if the policy does exactly that, and then lies about why he supports the restrictions. To Trump, anybody who votes against him is un-American, and any election he loses is "fraud".

Yes, the problem is greedy capitalists who have invested big bucks in coal and don't want to lose their profits to cheaper energy. They bribe politicians to make rules to keep buying their expensive energy. For example, in the UK, electricity is priced a the highest cost of gas powered electricity, not the cheaper wind and solar.

Greed capitalism like in the states gonna destroy the planet even further.
The middle, aka socialism, would be the best form.

But as a species we must start recycling our stuff. Massive reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and oil-plastic must just go.
Crap material that just pollutes and is about non-recyclable.
En go for efficiency, reduce our power needs across the board.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other studies indicate that nuclear power's life cycle emissions range from 10 to 130 g CO2-eq/kWh, with an average of about 65 g CO2-eq/kWh, placing it on par with wind power and substantially lower than coal (around 900 g CO2-eq/kWh) and natural gas (around 450 g CO2-eq/kWh).
  The World Nuclear Association reports that nuclear's lifecycle emissions are comparable to wind, hydroelectricity, and biomass,
While some analyses suggest higher emissions for nuclear due to assumptions about mine rehabilitation or energy-intensive enrichment processes, these are considered outliers.
  The variability in reported emissions is largely due to differences in methodological approaches, such as the choice of life cycle assessment (LCA) method, assumptions about the electricity mix used in construction, and the grade of uranium ore.

Batteries.

Germany's renewable energy sources are primarily wind and solar, which together accounted for about 43% of its electricity generation in 2024. The country aims to have 80% of its electricity from renewables by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2045. Biomass and hydropower are also significant, and Germany has made substantial progress, with renewables providing 59% of electricity in 2024.

I vote for "end of bubble"

SpaceX must be sleeping at the wheel (or just happy to rake in the profit).
They know exactly where every terminal is located.
They knew that they had 2500 terminals operating illegally in Myanmar.
