My position is more that it's OK to mention a well known and easily verifiable fact without digging out authoritative sources.

"I saw something I didn't like, so I assumed it was the fault of a billionaire I don't like" didn't use to be the top voted comment on HN.

Starlink satellites have low orbits and only reflect sunlight around sunrise and sunset.

There is nothing more abundant than the extra room there is in space!

Earth orbit is more constrained, but it's very far from full. Geostationary orbits are about 20% full, but the rest is practically empty still.

"No it's not" replies and silent downvotes instead of arguments didn't use to be how HN worked.

Sad to see this place becoming a normal web forum.

The message I responded to was about visible light:

"Will this be the last generation to remember the night sky?"

The topic is seeing the night sky.

SpaceX is by far the most cost effective way in this world to send things into space.

That is very valuable.

Satellites only reflect sunlight when in sunlight. This only happens near sunrise and sunset.

The night sky will be unaffected by satellites for the foreseeable future.

> Nor do I think a 74% unemployment rate is even remotely possible

250 years of constant automation has never produced large scale unemployment, despite obsoleting everyone's jobs several times over.

> If the production, and distribution of the tech is confined to one or two companies

We already have at least 5 companies only in the US. Your whole premise is false.

Flood legends are very common among ancient Eurasian cultures.

As the last Ice Age melted away (20k–8k years ago), there were very likely several major floods in the region.

Are you saying we have no evidence that Exodus happened, or that we have real evidence that it did NOT happen?

Do something so you don't lose on time while "typing" the solution!

Adding a second for each letter you type is a crude version.

English is the universal aviation language.

In other contexts there is no such language, and I can see how the politics of which and how many languages we should include in our car messages may well result in a "let's just use beeps" decision.

Completely restructuring society seems so simple to some people.

Typically, people produce about as much as they consume, so a growing population normally sustains itself.

> Anyone who doesn't understand this is an idiot imo

Even if this is true, so what?

Idiots get sick at least as often as others, and the medical system needs to work as well as it can for that population too.

"Poor" is a relative concept!

If everyone gets 10x richer, half the people will still be in the poorer half, and will still feel poor in some sense.

This is surely not the only factor in this story, but it's you need to keep it in mind in these discussions.

You spend that money on defense, not war!
