would you choose a flight that's $200 more expensive because it has starlink?

If I’m flying for work and Starlink is that much better, quite possibly. My wife’s experience with other in-flight WiFi providers has been quite poor, often to the point that it barely works. Having said that, neither of us has been on a flight with Starlink yet.

Which airline? Airlines have been moving away from land based WiFi to much faster satellite WiFi for years

No but the airline might choose starlink. I think a gogo business install is on the hundreds of thousands and annual costs in the tens of thousand for their Eutelesat based system.

Maybe not $200, but $20-$50 for a cross country flight for sure.

I wouldn’t. I have literally never bought WiFi on a flight in the course of probably hundreds of flights. Good opportunity to unplug.

If a flight had in-flight Wi-Fi that cost $50 you'd pay for it? Most people I know balk at $10 even on an intercontinental flight

$10/hr for high speed internet on a flight doesn't seem that bad if you have a good use for it. A single drink can be more

i dont imagine any of the cases have ruled that the government can not legislate against child porn, so there's always going to be some amount of both speaker and content speech limits.

they could also just ignore any scotus rulings they dont like, and assert states rights over the topic


Speech rights have never been considered absolute. At most they require strict scrutiny for a government interest to be overcome. Obscenity is in the category that gets the least deference. Political speech gets the most, as "the highest wrung". If all speech got the same deference as the least scrutinized (e.g. child porn) then 1A would be neutered.

ok, but how do i get the only linux command i know?

ctrl+r


Works just fine in powershell. Avoid using command prompt and life is already a bit better


multitouch+stylus screen, plus the windows ink demo app https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/garage/profiles/sketch-pal/

its low latency, can do multiple layers, and its easy to pick out a standard set of colours to draw with.

It lets me make good rhetorical diagrams, and I've also used it for drawing quick mockups to get genai to make webpages

also, Quip as a design document/review tool. Its fantastic having a design review where you get comment threads going along different parts of the requirements and design, that you can then focus on in discussion time. it also lowers the barrier to giving feedback, so newer devs can ask questions without feeling like theyre taking up valuable meeting time


theyre literally your head of state, heads both legislative houses, and the court.

They're all of the positions for speaking for you, elected by the population of the US


.... so you made up a definition of environmentalism so you could be against it?

environmentalism isnt circular. humans evolved to live and survive in a certain environment, and so we will be healthiest and happiest the better we ensure that that environment exists for us to live in.

some sample environmental works:

- making the river stop catching on fire so you can sail on it and fish in it - removing smog so you can go back to breathing - taking the acid out of the rain so it stops eating your car

environmentalism is a competitive edge in and of itself, but also is the foundation that the competition is built on.


depending on how much you trust Trump's ramblings, he told a large audience that the "laundry fire" was actually an iranian attack last week

the firebombings of japan were much more destructive and killed more civilians than the nukes did.

there's no reason to think nuking would do anything more than the existing bombing campaign.

what changed in japan was the soviet army arriving


couldnt you do the same thing china does? force them to have a local partner that ends up owning it?

i would have imagined that charging at -40 is easier than operating at -40.
