How do you know they didn't do those things?
This is shortly after launch while the satellites are still tumbling. Within a few days they align themselves so that their sunshields reduce their brightness and over the next few months they will raise them selves to their operational orbit.
No one lives in a place where they can see starlink satellites with their naked eye once they are in operational orbit.
You can't see starlink satellites with the naked eye once they are in their operational orbit. I'm sure many people find it useful to be able to attend school: https://www.pcmag.com/news/native-american-tribe-gets-early-...

From the article it sounds like those punishments were for something else, and happened before she uploaded this video.

Can I have a link to the podcast? I haven't seen that one and for some reason I can't find it through search.

>Markets don't exist without the nation state because they rely on nation state technology like money

That's not true at all, in many cases markets exist in spite of nation states (think silk road and every other black market).

That should probably be the story posted to this site, not the editorialized one.

Where are you getting this from?
I was quoting the article to show that the comment wasn't true. So I do think that the quote is true.

You are spreading misinformation, you should edit or delete your comment.

Re:Did Google Cripple Edge’s YouTube Performance? on Wednesday December 19, 2018 @07:22PM (#18721365)
For me, Edge is the only browser that behaves properly when a Youtube video is playing but is not in focus with hardware acceleration on (the exact scenario is I have a game on my main monitor with a Youtube video playing on my other monitor). Both Chrome and Firefox stop loading the video and show the spinning buffering symbol after a few minutes. All three browsers work fine with hardware acceleration off.
Re:SpaceX Is Raising $500M at a $30.5B Valuation on Tuesday December 18, 2018 @05:20PM (#18711140)
Any evidence of actual investors being upset about this? The only actual quote from the wsj article:

"Founders Fund in a statement said it has been briefed on the relationship between SpaceX and the Boring Co. “and we have no concerns whatsoever."

Wouldn't the first to raise wages get the pick of employees?
How do you know the copy-write holder has not claimed the revenue for that video? Taking the video down is only one of the options for copy-write holders.
Things placed in low earth orbit (where small launchers can put satellites) will de-orbit and burn up in 2-5 years from drag if they have no way to maintain their altitude. This isn't a problem future generations have to worry about. Geostationary orbit is a place where stuff can stay for thousands of years, so space junk build up could be a problem out there.
Why?
"Bigger turbines will create more wind power, and the intermittency of both sources can be optimized with large-scale battery backup facilities."
