The US would collaborate with China on this if it would make financial sense. It could even be an opportunity to straight things out a bit. That being said, I agree that it's not going to happen. First, Tianzhou is currently cargo-only

I would agree for the most part. I also would want to see a successful DM1 flight before hopping aboard a crewed SpaceX flight. But with recent events around Soyuz I'd be slightly hesitant there as well. A year ago I would have fully a

It'll be interesting for how long this will ground the Soyuz fleet. The next scheduled Soyuz launch is Progress 71P on October 31st. I'm curious if that's going to happen, considering crewed and cargo use the same launch vehi

The equivalence comparison wasn't made by the post you replied to, but by it's parent.

The post you replied to is a direct answer to claims about trade between the US and Russia during the cold war.

When the United States have to choose between their professed values like Democracy and Freedom, and economical benefits in the US, what do you think took preference? Spoiler: US-backed military leaders and dictators weren't pushed to

Doing business? How many US companies do business in China, and have at least some access/collection of Chinese users' data? Are they all traitors?

But they have the problem of getting solutions adapted to Waymo's strategy. They'll likely push for safety tests and requirements that they can pass; others will have to adapt to that.

I think this is measured on average, and it's possible that people are undecided, or look through everything and take their time making sure to do it right.

Note that 'terrorist' is a larger group of people than some might imagine. My favorite example is the "Animal Liberation Front", a group of militant self-proclaimed animal lovers that, after burning down enough buildings

Unfortunately none of your links referred to the actual legislation and only provide summaries and interpretations, but Article 17 (Right to erasure), Section 2 states: Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged

I think this is a critical point of misunderstanding: > if a company sells your data and you invoke your rights against the company, it's the company's responsibility to go after whoever they sold the data to, not yours. Can y

There is a difference, and in practice as in theory, it matters a lot. You can delete your data on your Google account - that gets rid of your data. Deleting that data after it was sold to 3rd parties is like trying to delete your drunk par

That may be an explanation, but IMO there's a huge difference between the two, and putting both concepts under the same wording is dangerous. Selling data means surrendering any and every control over it, and if from a user (trust) per

IIUC, no judicial order is required for collecting. Only for looking at collected data; but agencies get creative around these processes, so I wouldn't count on legal protection from snooping.

Depends on the camera, but mostly yes. OTOH, it's (relative) trivial to improve that for cars; it's way harder to improve it for humans. (Also, as a data point, I think there was a guy who drove his Tesla with lights off, and it w

I'm not sure those email addresses are real. This seems more like a PR piece for the consulting company. But they so write each other from time to time, at least I remember something along those lines from the no-poaching emails that s

I'd argue that Self-driving cars are better capable of recognizing ice patches. They don't just rely on visible light to see the ice, but have a more diverse sensor array. The challenge there of course is having the car learn to i

a) more users doesn't necessarily imply that (though in this case is probably does), and b) it's about the "why" - The conclusion from "more users = more money" to "must be about money" isn't uni

The "without your permission" bit is where you're probably wrong. But I agree with your sentiment that it's unsettling.

The primary issue here though isn't open source vs not, it's how updates and changes are rolled out. What you're actually looking for is a phone where you manually initiate updates, and where it's guaranteed that change

I think that the trade-off is described better between the moral issues and the ability to provide your service to more users. I don't think making even more money is much of a factor anymore for Page and Brin.

I don't think they're that unified; They united here to support employees who worried about their future. But I would assume they have certain common views, e.g. that immigration isn't the all-time evil. Also, the company as

You wouldn't be charged, but you'd suffer consequences. You'd peobablt miss your flight because your opinion is considered dangerous and needs to be investigated, and maybe you even end up on one of many no-fly lists.

Are you referencing to the "we're better than you?" - then I have to disagree, strongly. Most people I meet can differentiate between personal preference and objective superiority. None of the people I know well enough to say

Imprisonment isn't the only limiting factor in free speech. Direct or indirect financial impact works well too (e.g. you'll miss your flight because we deem your opinion suspicious and have to investigate you).
