Sorry, it took me a bit to reply to you on this censorship laden bullshit “you’re replying to fast by posting more than 3 times a day” website.

Fuck dang, time to cycle residential proxies.

That said, see sibling comments about fineness. In addition to being fine in the shiny variety, starship is a portly fellow. It will be able to land in anything less than a hurricane.

Honestly I find most studies based solely on self-reported data worthless.

What people say they’ll do/buy is often only loosely correlated with what actually happens.

See:

-YouTube thumbnail controversy, vs what people actually click on

-/r/apple and other comment section’s obsession with the commercially-failed mini lineup of iPhones

-everyone says ads don’t work on them, but ads work

I could go on

It's not proprietary, you can hook up the drives to a linux box and pull files off them just fine if your box dies. I've never had to do this, but I've seen others say they've done so successfully.

Should be much better, you spend most of the time coasting and most of your acceleration in very thin atmosphere, vs a plane that has to cruise down in the soup.

Also, starship has more pressurized volume than a 747. You can fit a lot of people.

A short boat ride off the coast is all it will take to get form NY to Tokyo in 40 minutes or less. Worth it.

E2E payload weight will be much lower than typical LEO configs, total altitude lower. You don't need to circularize etc etc.

This means you can spend more fuel/be less efficient overall for a much more comfortable acceleration profile.

In terms of safety, starship will fly hundreds, perhaps thousands of times before people fly on them. They'll get there.

Starship E2E (earth 2 earth) will make in-atmo supersonic pointless.

>btrfs is a horrible mess that will likely lose your data.

Meanwhile the bazillion petabytes on the world's synology NAS run fine, and are BTRFS.

As opposed to the centralized extremism export machine we have now.

If they don’t censor, they’re not liable. If they censor, they are liable.

> Corporations are not bound by the restrictions laid out in the first amendment; only the government is.

I think that is no longer the consensus. We have corporations that rival governments now.

This couldn’t be more wrong or dishonest. The merge has been part of the plan since 2016. The users were onboard with this from the beginning.

Not yet, but when the combined effects of the merge + EIP 1559 drive ETH to flip BTC _and_ the ever-increasing "BTC wastes X countries worth of power per day" it will eventually happen.

No chance at all while BTC remains top dog (in market cap)

3x hash rate @ same $USD value == 1/3rd the rewards per hash

Exactly. This is a triumph and the entire open source community should be celebrating
