Incredibly, Americans still think they have any chance of teaching Russia or China "manners". The hubris of a decadent empire.
And of course, they have to downvote to hell. They need to keep the illusion that the US is still the most powerful military, the most powerful economy, and that AI will save their hegemony.
There’s no doubt the US military is by far the most powerful military ever seen. Even accounting for technical progress it’s arguably more powerful than the Romans or Mongols.
What is the illusion is that a powerful military is enough to win a conflict.
My most downvoted post by telling people to keep geopolitics out of a technical discussion. Gfy, thought you were all better.
Starlink VP of engineering Michael Nicolls tweeted that the service has "now mostly recovered from the network outage" after two and a half hours.
"The outage was due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network. We apologize for the temporary disruption in our service; we are deeply committed to providing a highly reliable network, and will fully root cause this issue and ensure it does not occur again," the tweet, posted at 3:23 p.m. PT, says.
A geopolitical reason could very well explain this "coincidence".
The parent's concern is with the "could" in your sentence.
Unlike other web sites, the people of HN used to pride themselves on presenting facts, not speculation. Rumors were left for places like Facebook and now Reddit.
This is hybrid warfare, not a coincidence.
Russia needs to learn some manners, the hard way.
