If it gained mass rapidly, most all the moons would likely destabilize since they'd have way too little velocity for the orbit they'd now be in. But if they sped up to accommodate, it'd depend on the density change of Jupiter. The fusion would push out material a bit, but the density would probably just increase because of the increased mass.
But if the density stayed the same, the radius would be 2.4 to 4.3 times larger than currently. With Jupiter having a radius of 70,000 km, that'd put it at 170,000 to 300,000 km radius. That'd put Metis and Adrastea inside 170, and Amalthea and Thebe inside 300. They'd already be heavily inside the jovian atmosphere, so they'd be toast. Io, Europa, and maybe others might also fall due to higher atmospheric drag at those levels.
Interesting, I thought this would be about using algae for kerosene synthesis, but it looks like they're getting electricity from it like a solar panel. I wonder what the area efficiency is vs a solar panel, and if it might have advantages in cost or longevity.
SpaceX has been receptive to design changes to starlink in the past to minimize impact, like decreasing reflectivity and reflection angles for astronomers. They might be receptive to moving to different alloy for the body construction.
Magnesium comes to mind that would be light but expensive. Steel alloys might be cheap and heavy options for later when starship is operational. Would those have similar effects on ozone, or is it only the aluminum oxides?

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany would not prohibit Ukrainian attacks on Russian military targets, saying Ukraine "is allowed to defend itself."...
They allowed to attack military targets in internationally recognized Russia yet? Permission to do that would really help undermine logistics and concentrations.
It's also common for governments to say their spy sats failed so that it's more ambiguous what assets they have. I don't know if someone has a telescope tracking shot though, that could probably confirm or deny.
I don't understand how the event horizon booms to be so large compared to it's mass. And does a black hole suddenly pop into existence when that density is reached, or does it need to collapse or have some condensed distribution?
Yeah I get that. But the video was saying a black hole the diameter of the solar system has an average density inside the event horizon of air. I was wondering if you need to compress it any, or if a solar system sized volume of air would already be a black hole, or would it need to collapse to a singularity first?
What Putin is doing is horrible to both sides. He's killing a whole generation.
But also, defecting is an option. So I didn't need to feel too bad for Russian soldiers being killed since they should have surrendered or refused to fight in Putins war.
I agree it'd be hard. But it'd still be the right thing to do to avoid murdering people. I don't see how I need to have been in that situation to say that moral statement. I hope I'd be able to follow though.
Renewable energy accounted for more than 30% of the world’s electricity for the first time last year following a rapid rise in wind and solar power, according to new figures....
Is this installed capacity, or actual power output? If installed capacity, you'll need a lot more than 100% since that's just the nameplate max capacity, not the average. I'm glad we've gotten this far, but we still need to transition to 100% or more very soon.
I think my car only came with a free trial for that service, I think you needed to pay after a certain amount of time. Cell phone works well enough for me.
I estimate that the probability of injuring my arms and that no one else is around to call for help is low enough to not be worth the monthly subscription.

Desalination is also a good way of getting lithium right now, it's just a bit less cost effective than surface mining dried oceans currently. Maybe if sodium demand also goes up, it'll be effective to capture desalination salts for both lithium and sodium.
Where do you live that it's often -30? And if you need to drive 300mi to a doctor's for a medical emergency at that one time if year, do you have someone else you could ask or only drive there and worrying about charging later?
100+ miles is fine for most any EV. My bolt during the winter was still able to get 200mi+ at 70mph in sub zero F weather. With a home charger it's fine. It's road trips that would push further. I've found charging adds maybe 25% time to long trips. But that doesn't seem to be the use case you're referring to.
We didn't know which things mechanisms in a nuron are important, and we don't have anywhere near the computing power to model all of them. We have guesses as to what's important, and that's what a lot of modern AI is built on. But because computers have different strengths and weaknesses, we can't simulate a whole human brain yet.
