In a conference yesterday, Elon Musk said SpaceX's Starlink satellite broadband will have latency below 20 milliseconds -- low enough to support competitive online gaming . "Despite that, the SpaceX CEO argued that Starlink won't be a major threat to telcos because the satellite service won't be good enough for high-population areas and will mostly be used by rural customers without access to fast broadband," reports Ars Technica. From the report: Latency of less than 20ms would make Starlink comparable to wired broadband service . When SpaceX first began talking about its satellite plans in late 2016, it said latency would be 25ms to 35ms. But Musk has been predicting sub-20ms latency since at least May 2019, with the potential for sub-10ms latency sometime in the future. The amount of bandwidth available will be enough to support typical Internet usage, at least in rural areas, Musk said. "The bandwidth is a very complex question. But let's just say somebody will be able to watch high-def movies, play video games, and do all the things they want to do without noticing speed," he said. So will Starlink be a good option for anyone in the United States? Not necessarily. Musk said there will be plenty of bandwidth in areas with low population densities and that there will be some customers in big cities. But he cautioned against expecting that everyone in a big city would be able to use Starlink. "The challenge for anything that is space-based is that the size of the cell is gigantic... it's not good for high-density situations," Musk said. "We'll have some small number of customers in LA. But we can't do a lot of customers in LA because the bandwidth per cell is simply not high enough." [...] On the ground, Starlink's future customers will rely on user terminals that "look like a UFO on a stick," Musk said. The devices will have actuators that let them point themselves in the right direction as long as they're pointed at the sky. "It's very important that you don't need a specialist to install it," Musk said. "The goal is that... there's just two instructions and they can be done in either order: point at sky, plug in." As for the cost, the company previously pointed out that many U.S. residents pay $80 per month for "crappy service," perhaps indicating that Starlink will cost less than that. Musk also addressed concerns from astronomers who say Starlink's satellites will interfere with astronomical observations . "I am confident that we will not cause any impact whatsoever in astronomical discoveries. Zero. That's my prediction. We'll take corrective action if it's above zero," Musk said, adding that SpaceX has worked with astronomers "to minimize the potential for reflection of the satellites." internet wireless communications 127098530 story Tesla Produces Its One Millionth Car (theverge.com) 2 -- 2 Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday March 10, 2020 @07:00PM from the achievement-unlocked dept. Elon Musk announced on Twitter that Tesla has produced one million electric cars . The Verge reports: Musk made the announcement by sharing a picture of the car, a red Model Y, and congratulated the Tesla team on hitting the milestone. It's a significant moment for an automaker that was only founded in 2003. Tesla released its first consumer car, the Roadster, back in 2008, meaning it's taken a little over twelve years to hit this million-car milestone. However, it could end up hitting the two million mark a lot sooner based on current targets. In its January earnings report , the company said it hopes to ship over 500,000 cars worldwide in 2020. Established automakers like Toyota or the Volkswagen Group each produce over ten million vehicles a year. Nevertheless, Tesla's milestone is a tremendous accomplishment for an automotive startup that only produces electric vehicles. power tesla transportation 127098456 story Engineer Who Attended RSA Cybersecurity Event Contracts Coronavirus (bloomberg.com) 8 -- 8 Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday March 10, 2020 @06:40PM from the wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg: Two cybersecurity company employees who attended an annual industry conference last month in San Francisco have tested positive for the coronavirus . At least one is seriously ill with respiratory issues. One of the workers at Exabeam Inc. is a 45-year-old engineer who began experiencing symptoms when he returned home to Connecticut from California on Feb. 28 after attending the RSA cybersecurity conference , his wife said in an email. His condition deteriorated the following week and he was hospitalized in respiratory distress on March 6, she said. The man was placed into a medically induced coma and is now on a ventilator in "guarded condition." The individual is predisposed for pneumonia due to an underlying heart condition, his wife said. Bloomberg is withholding the man's name to protect his privacy. The second person, who is unidentified, also worked at Exabeam and attended RSA, the Foster City, California-based company said Tuesday in a statement. "While we cannot confirm whether they contracted COVID-19 prior to, at or after the conference, if you came into contact with our staff, please be vigilant in monitoring yourself for symptoms," Exabeam said. The company said it instituted a work-at-home policy for its offices in Foster City and Atlanta. health security covid19 127099754 story Google Tells All North America Staff To Work From Home (bloomberg.com) 11 -- 11 Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday March 10, 2020 @06:20PM from the work-from-home dept. Alphabet's Google told its staff in North America to not go into their offices unless they have to , becoming one of the latest companies seeking to protect workers from the spreading coronavirus. From a report: The Mountain View, California-based tech giant is "recommending" workers stay home until at least April 10, according to an internal memo seen by Bloomberg. The company had already sent home its Seattle-area workers, where the virus has had the highest number of cases in the U.S. The note also told contract workers, which make up as much as half of the company's overall workforce, to work from home if they were able. Google also said last week it would keep paying the thousands of hourly workers who do jobs such as serving food, cleaning offices and providing security, through the crisis. Amazon , Twitter , Microsoft , and a slew of other major tech companies are also encouraging employees to work from home to prevent the spread of the virus. google it usa 127092020 story Leaked iOS 14 Build Hints at Unreleased Apple Hardware and Software Features (9to5mac.com) 4 -- 4 Posted by msmash on Tuesday March 10, 2020 @06:01PM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept.
