Somehow I don’t think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.

Mines can absolutely become suddenly unprofitable. You don’t know how much good stuff is in the ground until you dig it up.

The mine went bankrupt in '89, just a few years after Errol bought shares in it. The boss was someone else.

If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can’t really verify whether that’s accurate.

Maybe on the support ship, but not on the sub. Starlink frequency can’t penetrate water.

SpaceX wants new regulations regarding satellite brightness.

Their own satellites (at least the second generation ones) fulfill the requirements set by the astronomers at the Rubin Observatory, +7 mag (10x darker than the original ones). Meanwhile the satellites of the competitors OneWeb and Amazon can’t fulfill them without major design changes, because the altitude the satellites orbit at makes a significant difference.

If the recommendations of the Rubin Observatory report were turned into regulations now, Starlink would barely be affected (they’d just have to stop the gen1 sat production a little early) while the competition would be set back several years.

Mirror film. The antenna have a highly reflective film coating that reflects all light from the sun in a specific direction in space, away from Earth. The parts of the satellite that aren’t flat enough for the mirror film do use the dark paint.

Wenn wir die 500€ für Arbeitslose durch 500€ bedingungslos ersetzen würden, dann würden sich kleine Jobs, die nicht viel zahlen aber auch nicht viel Aufwand brauchen, vielleicht mehr lohnen.

Does it cause issues if domain and tld match?

One winning is not necessary desirable, the whole point of federation is to spread things out over many instances.
