Is anything illegal in space? Which court does space law answer to?

While I understand the point of the treaty, do you think it will have any teeth once private companies are able to provide their own infrastructure? Just out of curiosity (due to my own lack of legal knowledge in this area), how is it that a treaty that a) is for another plant, solar system, celebration body etc and b) if I didn’t personally sign or recognize this treaty then how can this treaty apply to me, a citizen of a non-space power?

Do you have any similar books that you would recommend? I am always looking for good marketing books but these days it's all some guru trying to sell their book so hard to identify the solid through the noise.

Because you live in a society and a society isn’t all about just your needs.

I’m not sure if the two are linked. There is a service that exists to ensure anyone sending you a message on LinkedIn requires a payment of some sort to prevent spam. It was popular in the ICO days.

Not only that but does anyone actually believe they only kept two weeks of logs? I find it very suspect that the company known for amassing data only keeps some data for two weeks. How convienent for them.

Reading this makes me understand the decision about them licking down on repairs a little more. If a Mac won’t boot because of tampering (repairing) then it essentially solves this problem. I’m a little conflicted if it’s the case as I think we have the right to repair our own devices but distrust of any state actors (locally and internationally) is also pretty high.

On the other side of the coin, it’s possible that they have a vested interest in keep in this quiet as it would bring attention to their own practices.

Happened to me as well. I was always curious about that because it was clearly another cell number. I did try and text that number once and give that person a heads up but no response back. I’d really like to know what that was because my thinking is that if that is indeed someone else’s cell, then your number is appearing elsewhere too. The strange thing is it wasn’t a number that I’ve ever associated with so then populating it with a “best guess” isn’t even true.

After Workd War 2 the US was in the unique situation of not being completely decimated by the war. They used this leverage to craft trade policies to benefit the US economy by relying on their weight. To say that the US growth was purely organic is not quite hitting the mark. By all intents, it was forced to a large degree and perhaps with even more bloodshed than we’d like to admit. With that being said, the US growth model is not the only model that exists, it just so happens it was the most recent and most successful to date. But I would say that the rate of growth in a China is unparalleled, especially in the last 30 years. Going from one of the poorest countries in the world to what they are today is mind boggling. The growth itself is unsustainable unless they take forced measures of building the infrastructure out to allow the growth to spread out. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out and even more so with the current political climate in the west. I imagine the US isn’t just going to roll over and let it’s dominant position be taken from it so easily but we have to remember, there hasn’t been a single empire in history that has stood the test of time. The way China is approaching things might not be the best way to do it but we won’t know the true cost of today for another 30 years down the line.

Crow attacks generally only happen for a few weeks every spring as the young has left the nest and is still too young to fly. It's a known issue here and not really anything to worry about.

You're right. I actually searched quite a bit for the account but only this one came up. I knew something was off when it only had 500 followers.
