The update from Cisco is really helpful:
"Updated to add at 2345 UTC
In a statement to The Register, a Cisco spokesperson told us, "Cisco’s top priority is the satisfaction and support of our customers."
This is 100% marketing BS, apparently it is OK to provide no actual info.
On top of that the issue "auto-resolved"
In what world are we living? Is this text AI generated? Or was the issue fixed by an AI? Or generated?
Cisco has build up quite a big Fellowship.
More seriously: Cisco is spending big bucks in this area. They are trying to copy RIPE Atlas (https://atlas.ripe.net/).
As everything moves to the cloud it becomes more and more important to measure the performance and (mis)routing of the Internet.
Well, there is this Internet provider that works from space.
Just tested an Oregon address on their site:
ORDER STARLINK
Campus Cir, Klamath Falls, OR 97601, USA
Starlink is currently available in your area!
No contracts. Try for 30 days and, if not satisfied, return the hardware for a full refund. Shipping times are currently estimated to be 1-2 weeks.
Costs $120/month, so cheaper and a lot faster. Just have to pay for the dish.
How much money was spent before the first Saturn V flew and how much money was spent before Starship flew.
These are different design methods that can't be compared!
SpaceX tries to (and has) reduced costs of access to space.
Starship is the next big step in achieving cheap and reliable space flight.
I am happy!
Landing will be important as well, also to become more cost efficient.
But SpaceX sets realistic target poles, achieves them and moves the poles again.
For the Booster launch I think the poles were reached and will be moved again for the next launch.
And on and on and on.
Are you trying to be funny or are your comments meant seriously, it is difficult to tell.
If you are serious, all upper stages of Starship went up, which is what all others can do as well. No one else can land anything bigger than a needle compared to Starship.
So respect what they are trying to achieve, and what they in the end will achieve.
Falcon is now flying twice per week and this is only possible because they made reusability happen.
Well, me thinks that if the satellites are made less reflective and use the proper frequency bands in the US they will do the same in the rest of the world (most likely).
Also Starlink has always been cooperative in solving this whole problem in the first place, the satellites are already much less visible than at the start.In that sense the headline is a little bit childish, there was already an agreement from 2019 and it has been updates as the Starlink Gen 2 satellites have more technology onboard, lasers for example.
And for other countries, yes it would be better to have a world wide space/science organisation handling this. For now: if you have any questions or requirements contact SpaceX.
From the article https://www.southampton.ac.uk/news/2020/11/hollow-core-fibre.page:
"Their first fibres had attenuations of 5 decibels (dB), i.e. only 30% of light transmission, for every metre of fibre. New physical understanding with contributions from the worldwide community, and substantial development in fabrication technology led by the Southampton team, have now led one of the fibres reported in this study to improve this by a factor of 10,000 by achieving an attenuation of only 5 dB every 10 kilometres."
So that is 0,,5 dB /km, getting close to normal SMF already, and they think they can beat SMF in the long run, interesting to see how that evolves.
The one question I have is how are you going to splice such a cable without blocking the core.
Missed by thereg, but Lumen is leaving Europe (if the deal is not blocked by the regulators), and that money is invested in the US by the looks of it.

I think that is correct, but I also think there are a lot of people that can benefit greatly from a version 1, like people that lost control of an arm.
Then v2 is for people with a spinal cord injury, hearin loss etc. v3 for vision, v4 for people with some sort of brain malfunction/disorder and then at some point v14 will bring us some simple form of AGI.
Most will want to wait for version 69.
If you know the hostname you want to track then it is much easier to use DNS.
myprecious.somedomain will always show the IP address of myprecious whenever it still has a valid lease.
So this is as much a DNS as an rDNS risk.
rDNS is just one way to find valid hostnames, but any (brute force) DNS query of a domain would give a more complete overview.
And if rDNS is considered a greater risk than DNS then disabling the creation of PTR records for DHCP leases solves that problem.
Reading the article and the comments I have only one question:
Does no one see the beauty and ingenuity of this?
With a software update a window safety system can be fixed.
The same was done in the past with brakes on the Model 3.
And many many more things have been improved on Tesla's without any effort/involvement from the owner.
There is a BIG IT angle to all this and its completely ignored by everyone.
I see that a lot of people believe "AI belongs to us". Maybe I am mistaken but weren't the experts afraid that AI might take over in the future.
AGI is a little bit scary, but if we get there then those systems will learn faster than any human collective can do.
Another argument used above: AI needs input from humans. Where would the humans be if they did not get input from other humans (this starts before you are born).
AI needs input as well, this will be given by humans for the time being but books (paper or digital) and other sources of information (the key word here, one other example of information is the Internet) are already and will only be more available.
If the AGI experts are right once we get to AGI systems most progress will be made by AI systems, not humans. It will be made by using all the information the system(s) has, whether this information comes from humans, books, other AI systems, sheep or anything else.
I think you took the estimated costs, not the real costs.
Currently the costs are at <quote from article> " $23 billion and $2 billion per launch"
So that would be 25 billion after launch.
Presuming the $500M is correct that would give us 50 missions, again excluding the bulf discount.
"Every two years we've been doubling the bandwidth of the silicon," Pete Del Vecchio, Product Line Manager, told The Register. "Since 2010, we now have an 8x increase as far as the bandwidth
Speed doubles every 2 years, so 12 years gives 6 doublings, so 2 to the 6th = a 64x speed increase.
Please explain better what you are trying to say here! 100Mwh in 1 hour and 15 minutes means 80Mwh per hour means 1.9 Gwh per day (but the battery is not big enough for that of course),
The Hornsdale Power Reserve (phase 1 only) can (is contracted to) deliver 100Mw, for 10 minutes, then throttle on with 30Mw for 3 hours minus the 10 minutes,, a bit more than 0.96 Mwh/day:
16.6 + 84.9 = 101,5 Mwh/day
With the extra 50% of phase 2 that becomes about 50% more probably.
