Starcloud is excited to announce that we will integrate 50 @SpaceX @Starlink Mini Laser terminals across 25 satellites.  Each of the @Starcloud_ satellites will carry two Starlink Mini Laser terminals, and the first hardware is expected on orbit within one year. Starlink Mini Laser terminals, the same laser crosslink technology that SpaceX developed for its Starlink constellation, provide up to 25 Gbps of continuous intersatellite connectivity at distances up to 4,000 km and are capable of higher link speeds at shorter distances. The terminals enable direct optical links between Starcloud satellites and the Starlink constellation using laser light, eliminating the need for Starcloud to send data directly through bandwidth-constrained ground stations.

The new Senate draft raises taxes on all wind and solar projects that haven't begun construction today unless they are placed service by end of 2027 and navigate complex, likely unworkable requirements to prove they don't use a drop of Chinese materials. After that, this bill ADDS A NEW tax on wind and solar projects that can't prove the same.

Unbelievable. When I was a director of an exchange in 2013, one of the first security policies I set up was: -Once KYC/AML was approved it was printed out. -One copy went to a fireproof filing cabinet at main office with the compliance lead. -One copy went to secure offsite records storage with Iron Mountain. -Digital copies were batched weekly to an airgapped offline server. -All access went through senior compliance team members. Coinbase’s disclosure here focuses on the stolen funds. But that’s irrelevant. They got physical addresses, and government IDs. Things you can’t change, and things that put customers at physical risk. No element of KYC/AML policy requires this kind of stuff to be accessible to your customer support agents. I don’t want to hear about what Coinbase is doing to recover funds - I want to hear what they are doing to better deal with private data. And why a $60B company, had such rubbish data policies when they can easily afford to hire top class talent?
