"Because Americans don't travel," she adds, "you don't get the sense of what a third-world country the U.S. is becoming when it comes to communications."
Only when it comes to communications, really? What about health care? Taking care of your poor? Having a proper democracy?
The U.S.A. has been a third-world country for quite a while, just ask the other civilized countries.
The rest of the world looks at the USA and wonders how they put up with it the same way the USA looks at North Korea and wonders how they put up with it.
See subject & good for him! He's making lots of money doing something he loves.
No he isn't, his parents are.
They'll spend it all on stupid crap and rack up some loans before somebody else comes along and takes him down. They'll all be on the street within a year.
a) What's reasonable about spending trillions of dollars on making cities float instead of spending less money on not needing to do that (eg. passing a few laws to penalize emissions, invest in renewable energy and next-gen nuclear power)? b) What's reasonable about plans that make floating Floridas for the rich and will leave the other 99.999% of the world to fend for themselves?
Animal smarts only ever surprises people who don't own animals.
My two cats definitely know their own names and they're not even the smartest cats I've ever owned.
More: They know the other cat's name, too. I once asked one of them where the other cat was (she was stuck in a cupboard - somebody closed the door) and he took me there pawed at the door, like saying, "She's in there!".
Are they going to comply with specific government requirements for content censorship? That is, if someone in China going to get satellite internet, are Amazon going to roll over and censor it?
Presumably you'll need a special Amazon antenna and decoding box to use it. They can be controlled.
Are you sure it's not all those people living in rural areas who can't get broadband at any price? And the people who like to go out in the woods where there's no phone coverage?
Having said that: a) How "broad" can it be from low-earth orbit? Iridium's best systems are still only at dial-up modem speeds. b) I'm sure Amazon will lobby against net neutrality so they can prioritize traffic from their own services and slow down Netflix etc. c) Launching 3236 new satellites into low-earth-orbits? What could possibly go wrong?
Not true, stop repeating this. It's not a partisan issue. I have run across strong conservatives who are opposed to vaccination, and will justify it by saying the government has no right to tell them what to do. It's a stupid stance but definitely a common conservative view.
I'd have thought there's be more conservatives in the anti-vax movement - the religious ones.

At least Hillary didn't make president. She would have hung, drawn and quartered him.
Maybe the USA has had time to cool off. Me? I'm betting he'll be over there within three months.
And yet chose to abandon those third world shitholes and live in the greatest country that ever existed or will ever exist.
I guess the USA is OK if you're as rich as him, yes.
PS: How come the slogan is "MAGA"? Is it in decline?
I particularly like how they called it the "Taxpayer First" act.
Pure doublespeak.
Worse, a lot of people voted for Trump because said myopia - they see Trump's lifestyle and believe he'll help them join The Club.
Jim Jefferies is a comedian. He moved to the United States, where he lives and works; in 2018, he became a citizen of the U.S.
I'm guessing that his experience living in other places is where he gets his unbiased insights into the USA.
Americans want freedom at the expense of all else.
Are you saying America is the freedom capital of the world? LOL!
Look up "Jim Jefferies - Freedumb" sometime. He says it well.

Simple answer: "Ignorance is bliss".
Cruise ships will cough up what their passengers are willing to cough up.
Cruise ships need to compete with other cruise ships. If one of them offers "Free WiFi" then people will choose it.
Given their "floating vegas" mentality they can probably even charge people for it? $10 extra for "unlimited WiFi"? That's an easy sell.
Broken window fallacy?

There are some crazy intelligent cats out there but a lot of them are dumb as dirt.
Just like humans then:

Ships at sea, too. I imagine that's a very lucrative market if somebody can fill it.
Cruise ships will probably cough up a fortune for decent Internet.
I imagine the antennas/decoders will be fancy. Easy for governments to control.
Getting them all up there with no mistakes/debris might be a challenge though.
Failure rate for that many satellites will be high, too. They'll need constant replacement/de-orbiting.

And there always a fight at a heavy metal concert but never at Barry Manillow concert - just say'in.
That's because there's no testosterone at a Barry Manilow concert.
Testting 101 - Where are the graduates? ...

2) Path analysis
3) Exception handling
What coverage/paths/exceptions?
This is crypto code, it's a linear sequence of operations. It doesn't get any more easy-to-prove than that.
That's true. One can prove that a particular function is correct, that their code is correct. In this case, library code.
Crypto library code is very linear, no conditionals, just a sequence of math operations. I don't think it's hard to prove correctness.
This is just marketing wank.
