You seem to have missed the part where Google France is obeying the law. Some other Google subsidiaries (which are legally different companies, mind you) aren't obeying French laws because they don't operate in France. Again, google.fr follows French law; other Google subsidiaries don't have to.
If they were doing business in the EU (by selling drugs) then they'd have to comply with EU rules (or risk being extradited).
The EU can claim jurisdiction because they are publishing information on EU citizens to others. So the EU claims jurisdiction and Google Japan's management can be extradited if they don't obey the law, if the Japanese courts agree.
So you're totally fine with following Thai laws about the Thai king, or US laws about US citizens? Furthermore, they aren't publishing information about EU citizens; they don't publish anything, other people did that. They just aren't hiding that information.
They aren't the same company. Google France is a subsidiary of Google US, but they're registered as different companies, and Google US doesn't do business in France.
The modified genes aren't any more likely to spread than the unmodified ones. Moreover, one complaint the anti-GMO crowd often voices is that the GMO crops are sterile, thus forcing farmers to buy new seeds every year. However, if they're sterile, they can't spread throughout the biospehere. Which one would you prefer?
Personally, I like Patreon - there are plenty of people out there using it to fund things I enjoy, like webcomics (SMBC is pretty great). I figure if it's something I read pretty regularly, I can throw a buck or two at them every month. Sure, some people use it for things I wouldn't, but if they want to throw money at someone, that's their right.
Ah, fair enough. It's hard to tell when people are going for dry humor via text, especially when you've never interacted with them before (and how little some people know about biology).
There isn't one specific bacteria that causes the common cold. As Sique said, it's usually a whole bunch of different types of viruses that could be responsible, usually rhinoviruses or adenoviruses, but there are others. The "common cold" symptoms are pretty much just low-level inflammation in the respiratory tract and some general inflammation.
No, they're saying the airspace between 200-400 feet is open to anyone who meets certain safety requirements. That's nowhere near a de facto sole use grant.
Bullshit. They want permission to use that space for something, when right now it really isn't being used. And it's not like you or anyone else wouldn't be able to use it if you had a drone that meets those requirements. "But that's expensive, so the majority of the population still can't use it!" One might say, to which I would reply that they aren't using it now, and in general, it takes money to use space 200 feet off the ground.
Moreover, drone delivery might start out expensive, but could end up being used pretty widely in cities, as then they don't have to deal with traffic.
I'm not sure that's true - wouldn't the French need a reason to shut down google.fr? The French government can't do anything to subsidiaries in other countries. They could maybe fine google.fr, but I would think they'd lose that in court, since google.fr is following their laws. They can certainly ask subsidiaries in other countries to do what they want, but I don't think they're under any sort of compulsion to agree.
Yes, Google has a presence in France. The French Google subsidiary does de-list things in accordance with local laws. Google subsidiaries in countries that don't have those laws - Japan, the US, Canada, etc. don't have to follow those laws, but that's what the French are asking for.
Do the people in one country have the right to tell a company in another country that they have to follow the first country's rules? Should Australian/Japanese/Mexican Google have to follow the EU's rules, and if so, why?
They are complying with the law; the Google pages run by their subsidiaries in European countries affected by the law de-list things as they are required to do. The Japanese Google subsidiary is not required to follow European laws, so they don't have to de-list anything that the EU (or anybody in Europe) tells them to.
If your kids are immunocompromised, they have a lot more to worry about than measles, and letting them live "normal lives" in hopes that universal vaccination is going to protect them is utterly irresponsible on your part.
Well, that depends on the extent to which they are immunocompromised. Some people won't be able to mount an effective response against most things that still cause disease in healthy people, but can still move around and not be killed by ordinarily benign things.
Because that's what "conservation of momentum" means? If one thing produces thrust (gains momentum) and there is no reaction mass gaining opposite momentum (thus net zero momentum) then that violates conservation of momentum.
They didn't come down near the acceleration of gravity. I see this stupid claim all the time, but you can clearly see debris falling significantly faster than the buildings themselves.
The downvotes are perfectly justifiable. Your rants are off-topic (although haven't been marked as such; if I had mod points, I would). Add this to the fact that you (or another AC pretending to be you) stalks and harasses people who disagree with you, and you really make people not want to buy your stuff.

You are also subject to zoning laws in many places, which limit the height of anything you want to build.

Drones are less likely to get stuck in traffic and haul around less waste (chassis, etc.). They also probably result in less greenhouse gas emissions.
You just have to be creative with your spacing.

Both are wrong, so what's your point?
Yes, Google has a presence in France. The French Google subsidiary does de-list things in accordance with local laws. Google subsidiaries in countries that don't have those laws - Japan, the US, Canada, etc. don't have to follow those laws, but that's what the French are asking for.

Yeah, most of that isn't true.
If your kids are immunocompromised, they have a lot more to worry about than measles, and letting them live "normal lives" in hopes that universal vaccination is going to protect them is utterly irresponsible on your part.

It is what "conservation of momentum" means when applied to an engine like this one. This or this may help.
How's this then?
Because that's what "conservation of momentum" means? If one thing produces thrust (gains momentum) and there is no reaction mass gaining opposite momentum (thus net zero momentum) then that violates conservation of momentum.
You do know that a reactionless drive means not only that momentum is not conserved.
No, it does not mean that. Why should it?
Because that's how a reactionless drive is defined?
