  • I feel like on part no one ever mentions on things like this are, how do you enforce any jurisdiction on a satellite and what it’s doing.

    The main crazy thing about a satellite data enter is you can’t confiscate it and therefore you can’t control it. Hell once it’s up there the only thing any government might be able to do is find the owner and force them to crash it (if possible).

    It in a sense sounds a bit like the wild west of the original internet. Admittedly Musk being at the forefront of it all sounds terrible, but I think there is something fascinating about an information hub that could be completely independent of any country.











  • I was reading Disney’s recent financial report. In it they mentioned that they hadn’t seen a huge shift in international travel, as many people plan international travel far out (many months to year+). So basically international travel will have a lag effect and they mentioned that they were targeting more domestic bookings to try to offset expected drops in international travelers.

    So, if it’s down 4.2% already, it’s likely that number will continue to grow.


  • I feel like a majority of tech has been in this rut for a while. CPUs, GPUs, audio, wifi, 4g VS 5g, screens/tvs, etc. all seem to provide the most incremental upgrades each iteration. For a while phones seemed to be making leaps and bounds, but feel relatively the same generation to generation now.

    I think the main area I feel like I’ve seen some movement is battery tech. Some new materials and better/longer batteries are making some movement, but tech hardware feels relatively static the past decade or so.
