Re: It's complicated
My understanding is the ASTS satellites can do 10 mb/s data connections, primarily it seems, because they have a ginormous antenna on their satellites.

UK govt considers invoking national security in Arm IPO saga

"If Arm lists on the Nasdaq or the Dow Jones there is a requirement to move the HQ to the USA," the source told us.
Don't listen to this source in the future as they are wrong on both counts. NASDAQ has no such requirement. Dow Jones is not an exchange where companies are listed, it is a calculated index of 30 US based stocks. Even if ARM were based in the US it would probably a year or 2 before it might be included in the index.

Enemies Waymo, Uber now friends making self-driving-ish trucks for US highways

Uber's other self driving truck company
I'm surprised to see no mention of Uber's other self driving company, specializing in trucks no less, Aurora Innovation, Inc.. Last I checked Uber owns circa 45% of Aurora and is already running trucks on the highway in Texas. Other large Auroroa shareholders include Toyota, Citadel, Sequoia, & Amazon; all with stakes ranging from 5 to 10 %. I wonder if Uber will cut out Aurora or tie them in with Waymo.

Re: Hydrogen storage
The chemistry behind this is incredibly fascinating.
Kubagen's step-changing material uses Kubas binding to its patented transition metal-based Kubas Hydrogen Sponge (KHS-1) to give hydrogen storage systems which project four times the volumetric density of 700 bar incumbents at five times lower costs, making hydrogen fuel cells an attractive alternative to lithium battery technologies, especially for long haul and off grid applications.

Re: There's a simple solution
Amazon's customer service is horrid. Also they won't allow you to post a question about a product unless you've purchased a certain minimum number of items in the recent past. Their shipping policies to out of the way places like Honolulu (my loco) are bizarre, arbitrary and capricious. I only shop there as a last resort.
