Seems like this must still be in progress, their home page redirects to the new .ai domain but there are still a lot of pages that load on their existing .com domain.

I imagine it won't be long before we'll see the next gen from Starlink:

Starlink Standard (fixed) Starlink Mini (portable) Starlink Pocket (ultra-portable)

Starlink have over 11,000 satellites in orbit.

Globalstar have 24 satellites in orbit (at least according to Google).

How does this acquisition by Amazon meaningfully expand Leo to compete against Starlink?

Who processes the booking & payment, an aggregator like Expedia or the airlines direct?

Good call!

It looks like HR8799 that the animation is based on is about 1.5x the radius of the sun.

That being said, my silly point still holds - there are stars that are truly massive. Stephenson 2-18 is approximately the size I mentioned, which is genuinely impossible to comprehend.

Space and the enormity of it breaks your mind when you start thinking about it.

The star in the middle of the animation, is approximately 20AU (Astronomical Units) in size looking at the scale line. 20AU is approximately 1.8b miles/3b kilometres or approximately the distance from the Sun to Uranus.

If Google's correct, if everyone on Earth lived on that star - each and every one of us could have a backyard larger than the surface area of Earth ;p

It'd be incredible to have an SR-71 flying again, just simply __because__!

Then the government should sue that company as well.

My point isn't that they are targeting OpenAI, they should pursue Anthropic, Alibaba, DeepSeek, or any other company that has poor infrastructure and allows their systems to hack anything. It is a crime, it should be treated accordingly and not brushed over or diminished because it is AI.

The Australian Government needs to sue OpenAI to make a point.

At this point, it feels like it is out of control and it is just a matter of time before something much more significant happens. Imagine they hack into FAA to disrupt air travel, utility companies for water/gas, a nuclear power station (ala Stuxnet), financial/banking systems, stock exchanges, etc?

How companies pay such low bounties for such a find is mind blowing to me.

It's a thing for sure, maybe just not screamed about. If you run in a shoe that is 10mm+ and then go to a 0mm like an Altra - it is wild how different it feels.

The comments in the article about 'performance' are very real. When Nike was still in retail stores, 9/10 shoes were fashion sneakers and had nothing to do with athletics/running/performance.

By comparison, Hoka is positioned as a runners shoe. They have a variety of models based on the type of running you need (daily, long run, race), provide road/trail variants (their Speedgoat is amazing trail shoe), have large toe boxes to give your forefoot/toes the space needed to spread out on impact, also room to grow from swelling.

I'm sure Nike don't want to walk back from their fashionista offerings, but there are lessons in here for sure - maybe they need sub-branding like Nike Road, Nike Trail, Nike Casual or Nike Performance and Nike Casual.
