What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?
Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

Takeaways: "Orbital data centers" for "accelerating demand for AI" (snicker). "This filing seems quite rushed"..."the details were left vague"Bottom line: it's an investor scam. The people who wasted billions on AI R&D are looking for the "greater fool" to unload the investments onto, and need a fantasy project to convince people they can still get in on the ground floor of something. Once the IPO is through collecting gullible people's cash, their mission is accomplished.

@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, my thoughts are on the biggest resource consumption of a datacenter: Cooling and Energy, which is very taxing right now on our existing capabilities.
We'd shift from constant CO2 emitting energy consumption on earth to solar in space and move away from using fresh water for cooling, which is becoming more and more scarce.
The point is that it's _really difficult_ to remove heat in space. Those datacenters will need to run at _much_ slower speeds than datacenters on Earth.

@sundogplanets did they solved the cooling problem?

@sundogplanets ... what the fuck does that even mean? I know I could search for it, but I'm not sure I want that in my search history.

@sundogplanets Starlink is going to launch a satellite cell phone service, also most airlines are switching to Starlink internet service, so I think it is natural that they will need a lot more satellites. Starship is going to be able to deliver them into orbit.

@sundogplanets I thought the Dyson sphere was supposed to go around the Sun, not around the Earth ...

@sundogplanets did someone just finish reading @cstross 's _accelerando_ and decide it wasn't featuring future earth as a dystopia?

@sundogplanets That's something like 17,000 falcon 9 launches... they did 606 last year.

Bezos: Oh yeah? Well AWS will put TWO million data centers in orbit!
China: Let 5 million space data centers bloom!
Musk: Well, then SpaceX will put TEN million centers in orbit!
Bezos: Fine! ELEVENTY million AWS centers!
Musk: Hah! TWELVETY million SpaceX centers! Each with a cool robot!
Bezos: Meh-meh-meh-robot-meh. Amazon has robots.
Musk: But not COOL robots.

@sundogplanets
Seems they're (intentionally?) confusing Kardashiev and Kessler -

@sundogplanets if they speak of datacenters - I imagine them to be much larger than starlink satellites and they would need a lot of energy. I guess they will have huge solar panels.
This is bat-shit crazy if true.

Typical SpaceX Starlink communications satellites are roughly the size of a table or small car, weighing between 570 lbs (260 kg) for earlier models and up to 1,630+ lbs (740+ kg) for newer "V2 Mini" versions. They measure approximately 2.8 to 3.2 meters long, 1.4 to 1.6 meters wide, and are thin, designed for flat-packing in Falcon 9 rockets.
@Chancerubbage @sundogplanets @Barbramon1 Most importantly, there are far too many of them already.

"De Amerikaanse overheid heeft een hele zwik wetten om buitenlanders mee af te luisteren. De CLOUD-act is een soort voordeur, waarbij er een net verzoek naar Microsoft zou gaan “kunt u de email van de Nederlandse belastingdienst ophoesten?”. Zou netjes melding van gemaakt worden, en verwerkt worden in de statistieken. Maar ze gaan natuurlijk niet in Europa melden dat ze graag Europa af willen luisteren!"

Come la Russia sta aiutando l’Iran
Secondo una nuova inchiesta del Wall Street Journal, nelle ultime settimane la Russia ha aumentato la condivisione di tecnologie avanzate e di informazioni di intelligence con l’Iran, che le usa per colpire con più precisione gli obiettivi in Israele e le forze statunitensi in Medio Oriente. Per vari analisti, le informazioni condivise dalla Russia sono simili a quelle che gli USA forniscono da anni all’Ucraina.
