<Mat2ch>
so, when will we see SN8 fly? It looks like another static fire test is scheduled first and there are lots of street closures scheduled for the next days
<Althego>
somewhere i saw 2 static fires
<Althego>
maybe in an elon tweet
<Althego>
so maybe not even next week
<Mat2ch>
he said something about Sunday for a static fire
<Althego>
that can be
<Althego>
based on all those dates
<Mat2ch>
So I guess then they do some data crunching and if everything is alright, we could see a flight next Wednesday

isnt that 100 usd per month a bit pricey for starlink?
<packbart>
considering you already paid $500 for the terminal? maybe, maybe not. I'm wondering how long that sat-tracking thingy is going to survive outdoors
<Althego>
no moving parts
<packbart>
I don't really expect Starlink to have other customers than the US Military. but that's just my pessimism
<Mat2ch>
Althego: I thought so, on the other hand it's very exclusive right now
<Althego>
dishy mcflatface as it is called
<Mat2ch>
and compared to the prices here... uhm :D
<Althego>
maybe the problem is i compare it to a cable based prixing
<Althego>
because with this it is possible to compete against those
<Althego>
but for that i think you would need comparable prices. otherwise it will be used only in rural areas
<Althego>
where you have no choice
<Althego>
also it is its own internet
<Althego>
in orbit
<Mat2ch>
and we're talking about US rural areas, where there is one provider and you are stuck with them
<Mat2ch>
and believe me, many people will switch to starlink.
<Mat2ch>
Also it's going to get cheaper over the years
<Althego>
yes that can be
<Althego>
ad i have heard internet on ships is basically 56k modem levels
<Mat2ch>
Iridium and VEEEERYY expensive!
<Mat2ch>
Look up their prices!
<Althego>
and they have way less satellites

these are at least not just theoretical research or physics, but can have tangible benefits, against diseases
<packbart>
yeah, Rosetta@Home had a lot of covid-related workunits for a while but that seems to have run out
<transitbiker>
i encourage anyone with a computer to contribute compute cycles toward a covid cure - it will primarily benefit medical/hospital workers & first responders, and later the general public
<transitbiker>
rosetta team has pointed folks to F@H, as theyve beefed up their back end services quite a bit
<transitbiker>
plus a benefit for higher TDP systems: your home stays warmer with the winter upcoming ;)
<packbart>
I use the boinc-client, also on this server
<transitbiker>
oh, yeah, i have heard of that via linus tech tips - i am on their F@H team
<transitbiker>
i forgot to post my stream links in here the last few times, but i've got a lenovo M75s-1 and it rs KSP beautifully at nearly full settings
<transitbiker>
runs*
<transitbiker>
i'm on me macbook just now
<transitbiker>
how have you all been?
<raptop>
trapped in a maze of twisty papers and codes, all alike
<transitbiker>
sounds like windows 95 screen saver...
<Althego>
almost finished this year, most of the time working from home
<Althego>
so the virus is a good thing in many ways. companies realized they dont need to cram people in an office and move everybody each morning and afternoon just for this
<transitbiker>
yeah - we have been on a nerve wracking roller coaster with my girlfriend's work - they ended up turning into a polling place for election day but been closed to the public since march
<transitbiker>
saves on building energy costs, i'd imagine
<transitbiker>
good news is the twp mngr decided that only the 3 senior staff would be on shift vs the normal split day teams
<transitbiker>
and the 4th the building will be heavily fog disinfected
<transitbiker>
and closed that day
<transitbiker>
the primary concern was that masks are not required in polling places, because you cant restrict voting based on that
<transitbiker>
our area is having a resurgance of cases, so it was freaking us both out
<transitbiker>
anyone upload anything new to kerbalx lately?
<transitbiker>
