I would love to hear a reason why this is a good idea?

Space is very big and satellites are very small.

These satellites are in a rather thin band of space and it's clearly a problem as debris has already hit the space station and satellites. Tracking satellites is clearly a necessity. Could we use some partners? Probably worth look into with the ESA and Japan/India to share cost, burden, and information. Not doing it because of a trite expression doesn't seem like a good idea.

Space is not actually very big when you’re talking about a thin slice above the earth.

Is this a serious comment?

I agree with you. Maybe if it had AI shoehorned in, hn would be happy.


Cry me a fucking river OpenAI, as if your business model isn't entirely based on this exact same thing.


I previously had on of the major ISPs in my State/Region and it was aweful, they suck. Then a relatively new company came in and I switched and it was finally fiber and cable and it is amazing. Its not perfect these are companies at the end of the day. But if it weren't for this new company I would be forced by no competion not because of the service of the ISP.


So I'm a little late posting this here, but over the past three years, I have been working on what was formerly known as XBONEmu, a way to play Xbox One titles on a Windows computer. About a month ago, I decided to make this project more open; we now have a Discord server and are accepting contributions. Currently, we don't have any games that boot, but we are looking for people skilled in reverse engineering, Windows internals, and those with a strong C++ background.


immediate buy for me


what do they do if there is like a school shooting?


That this question must be asked speaks to a different and more serious problem.


To note, these different and more serious problems don't seem to be addressed, but a ban on mobile internet access is a no-brainer for most people apparently.


Until that different and more serious problem is solved what do they do if there is like a school shooting?


Teachers will still have phones, many buildings have a wired phone in each classroom, and guns are loud so someone near a phone will call for help. You know like how it always worked before every student had a constantly connected pocket distraction.


What do the phones add to a shooting?


Ability to call 911 or with e911 send texts, images, or videos


Every school I’ve been in has phones in every single classroom.

Even with the advent of cell phones, I doubt those are going away.


If there is an active shooter, you might be hiding


Guns are loud. It’s not like only a few people will know.


The police are just going to stand around and play with their phones anyway.


I'm sensing some kind of (sad) irony here.


The ability for a phone to give away a victim's location to the perpetrator as well as encourage parents to get in the way of first responders.


They are banning student phones, not teachers/staff phones.


Thats edge case


Just in time for my trip to Japan.


Japan is beautiful, I hope you have a great time!


I was looking into this and haven't seen much news of late. This would be an amazing product if widely available. Unfortunately knowing the current state of US pharmaceuticals, this would cost the price of your mortgage.


This is cool, I'm sure people will use this responsibly and not take advantage of this.
