For Amazon, it's a significant step in its effort to develop its Project Kuiper satellite network and catch up with SpaceX's Starlink broadband constellation.
Like Starlink, Project Kuiper is designed to provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to users around the world. Amazon aims to have a 3,236-satellite constellation in orbit by 2029, with half of it launched by 2026. It also plans to build 12 ground stations around the world to transmit data to and from the satellites.
Amazon has significantly ramped up hiring efforts for Project Kuiper at its Redmond headquarters, with 500 employees currently aboard and 200 open positions. The employees coming from Facebook are reportedly based in the Los Angeles area and include physicists as well as optical, prototyping, mechanical and software engineers. Facebook's former head of Southern California connectivity, Jin Bains, is now listed as a Project Kuiper director in his LinkedIn page.
The first wave consists of 578 satellites that would provide internet service in two horizontal coverage bands, one between 39 degrees north and 56 degrees north (roughly from Philadelphia north to Moscow) and another from 39 degrees south down to 56 degrees south (roughly from Hastings, New Zealand, to the top of Great Britain’s South Sandwich Islands in the Atlantic Ocean). The subsequent four waves would fill in coverage to the equator.

don't put too much into it.Â
As someone else stated, he was hit 64 times. Two other people were both grazed by bullets, but will be fine. Meaning that the people who took him out were practiced hands. Not your average banger from the streets of Chicago. (not too many gun ranges up there for folks to hone their marksmanship skills)
It doesn't really matter if people knew the dude or not. Going back to what Hollywood Anon was saying, he was saying they would be taken out for trying to produce their own music rather than go the traditional route of using an established label. Which would mean one could expect that it is the unknown guys who would be taken out. The ones who are trying to sidestep the industry.
And aside from all of that, it's pretty obvious anyways. Some random guy calling himself an insider predicts rappers would begin to be murdered and the next thing you know over 300 of them have been gunned down in little over one year.
I always like to take note of the "nothing to see here" types when something is clearly afoot.

Is there an actual law the Dems are breaking? Some law that specifically targets actions taken to deny the legislature a quorum?
