Perhaps they discovered that they had been misled about him.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he’s not flawed. Just that people learn things and change their minds.

But you’re also right about people giving up morals for financial gain. Just an odd example to use.

I’ve never had an issue with Starlink when it’s cloudy, or rainy for that matter. They even advertise this. Mini is different this way?

My Mini is fine unless it's a large rainstorm, +1 anecdata

Thanks for this. Can you still use it on heavy rainy days or does it come to a halt?

I have never noticed an issue but now that we’re talking about it I realize It’s never occurred to me to run a speed test during a heavy downpour. Which might tell you something positive by itself. Next time I will do so but it might be a while; my rain season has ended.

Good to know. Thank you!

Bettering humanity is a pretty good two word summary of what should be the meaning of life and everyone’s goal. Please don’t disengage.

>Please don’t disengage.

No worries. I was more referring to this community rather than this society. There are plenty of other "bars" on the internet to choose from.

You entirely missed the point. Please don’t disengage from those bars you perceive to be tainted in some way.

Not true in general on HN about one side only; it happens to all sides imho. But if you wanted to measure, you would have to normalize by the total number of occurrences on each side, and there is a lot of passive aggressive wording so the measurement would be easy to do badly.

To the extent that discussion of discussion is considered boring, perhaps this will get shut down too, but I think it was important to counter your claim.

It’s possible to want something without wanting to live in a system where there is a nanny to enforce that thing. Other means of enforcement exist, such as free markets.

This is in the US. It’s a free country. Things are legal by default (that’s a good thing) until the system notices them and makes a law.

Having seen how things work where freedom is not the default, I much prefer freedom.

I can construct some educated guesses in my imagination, but does anyone know the backstory of why?

Guessing this has to do with how China tends to turn a blind eye (although increasingly less so) to copyright and more importantly trademark infringement issues of Western intellectual properties...perhaps Unity have tried to get some Chinese developers to remove things like Marvel characters, or Mickey Mouse and it's been ignored.

I think this is actually quite interesting when Unity itself has recently posted a tutorial on using its AI tools for the AI generation of a Nintendo character called Ness (main character in an old Snes game called Earthbound if you're not familiar)...seems a bit of a double standard if the complaint IS in fact in relation to trademark infringements.

Fascinating. If you're not aware of Jesse Schell's book on game design, even if your work is unrelated to games, I highly recommend taking a look. Would love to hear more about your work / product.

Fortunately 1. For slow speeds, it’s not like you have to live with that slowness every day. The impact is limited to the remaining few days of the month where you ran up against the 100GB, so the either-or in your statement looks worse than it is; and 2. Starlink makes it dead easy to switch from plan to plan right in the app so you can go right back to a lower plan when the higher one is not needed. With the caveat that they do change what plans are available sometimes as we’re seeing here.
