Zambia has started connecting 751 health facilities across all 10 provinces with Starlink, and the first 90 kits went to Western Province.
There's something poetic about where they started. Every year at the end of the rainy season the upper Zambezi floods the Barotse plain, and for centuries the Lozi king has left his compound at Lealui by royal barge and moved to higher ground at Limulunga. The ceremony is called Kuomboka. In Lozi it means "to get out of water."
Now picture running fiber or building towers across land that turns into a lake for part of every year. A Starlink dish only needs a clear view of the sky, so the water below stops being the problem.
In March 2020, months before Starlink had its first beta users, Elon Musk said it would serve the 3 or 4 percent hardest-to-reach customers, people with no connectivity or really bad connectivity. Six years later, with funding from the Global Fund through Zambia's Ministry of Health, clinics on one of Africa's great floodplains are being brought into the country's electronic health systems from orbit.

Be Jensen:
> Asian American Dishwasher at Dennys
> Founded $NVDA and pioneered GPU computing
> Took an extraordinary gamble in CUDA, despite the company close to bankruptcy risk.
> Bet paid off heavily, and Nvidia was there as the infrastructure for deep learning and generative AI.
> Spent last 33 years of his life growing $NVDA, and finally saw it become a $5T+ company
> Devoted his life to establishing American AI leadership
> Started having more influence on policies that Washington conflicted with
> Leaks and hit pieces happen all at once around midterms
> Washington tries to push out others like Lutnick that shared similar China stances to Jensen.
> Forced to resign by Taco Bell and NFL experience board members over unconfirmed Spy accusations + personal relationships.
> Huang's leadership then questioned by politicians that ask how $META makes money or how Wifi works.
> Slandered by US media that think because Mcdonalds did well under a CEO change, so can American semiconductors like $NVDA.
This feels like a horrible joke. Jensen Huang was the pinnacle of visionary tech CEOs and living the American dream.
Ousting Jensen Huang will go down as one of most consequential and darkest decisions in recent US history.

It took two weeks to end the career of the most successful Asian American in history.
Jensen washed dishes at Denny‘s as a teenager, and by this year he was running the world’s most valuable company.
This week a lot of Asian people on my timeline decided that story is over. That no matter how high you climb, a face like ours gets a different set of rules at the top.
After Elizabeth Holmes, female founders spent years getting asked some version of “how do we know you’re not the next Holmes?“ One woman‘s fraud turned into a question every woman had to answer.
I’m Chinese Canadian, I grew up in Vancouver, and now I live in the Bay Area. I already know what my version of that question is going to be and it‘s pathetic.
Jensen was born in Taiwan and spent over thirty years building an American company. The second the word ”China“ landed next to his name, none of that counted.
This country has done this before. In 1882 it banned Chinese immigrants. In 1942 it locked up 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of them citizens. In 1982 two Detroit autoworkers who blamed Japan for their jobs beat Vincent Chin to death with a baseball bat. He was Chinese. His killers never spent a day in prison.
Yellow peril never checked which Asian you were, and that’s a big part of why “Asian American“ became one word. If they were going to lump us together anyway, we might as well stand together.
Now look at Jensen‘s timeline. Oct 29, the spy story breaks. The next day Singapore’s government says it never said what the Wall Street Journal claimed. Nov 8, he admits an affair. Nov 12, he‘s gone. The spy part is still unproven. Two weeks start to finish, right before what could be the biggest IPO in AI.
You can call that a coincidence. I don’t buy it.
Meanwhile the powerful people who raped CHILDREN in the Epstein files are mostly still living their best life
Jensen had an affair with an adult woman. That’s the only thing of what‘s actually been proven.
So what exactly did Jensen do that was worse than them? Nothing.
He was the best, he was Asian, and he was on the wrong side of the political fight.
He did everything right. He built the company America needed most and showed up to every dinner in Washington. On Sunday night the president himself stood up for him and called him “an honorable guy.”
It didn’t matter. By Thursday he was gone.
If you can take down the president‘s favorite CEO in four days while the president is defending him, think about who that message was really for.
They’ll use you for thirty years and still never count you as one of them.
That’s what a political weapon is. You’re a tool while you’re useful.
When the game gets serious, you’re the knife. And when it’s over, nobody comes back for the knife.
Jensen was the best one they had. That's exactly why he made such a good "kitchenware".
