  • When it says "negligible latency" what does this actually translate to?

    30ms I can agree with, even up to 80ms I could see not really affecting surgery. If we're talking 300ms or higher that would take incredible patience to deal with because you will notice it on every single action taken.

    • as a lower bound speed of light over 5000km is just under 17ms, so 34ms for a round trip. as complete speculation, I'm guessing they got it down to around 50-60ms

  • Oh yeah? Well a drone operator in the US gave someone lung cancer from 5000 miles away as a side effect of bombing a wedding. Your move tankies.
