They can get busted in a given country IF a gov't forbids collecting, using, and/or selling such for maps and location services. Whether Google specifically is cheating or not, I cannot say.
So, you'd be OK with a Chinese company doing detailed mapping of US military bases?
No, but IF the US gov't says military-related roads are off-limits to commercial mapping systems, then they should be off-limits to ALL commercial mapping systems, regardless of country of owners or headquarters.
policy is "America First" and is entirely built on American exceptionalism and local firms getting a leg up.
Every other country favors local firms. The US should either follow suit or crack down on such practices with tariffs etc. Some economists say "free trade" is beneficial even if one side cheats. I have to disagree, for one it contributes to bubbles because one kind of asset builds up under lopsided trade. Plus, it can create risk during military conflicts:
I'm not sure Americans fully appreciate the extent to which China already owns much of your economy. So good luck with those sanctions.
That's just why we have to balance things out. Nobody wants another country to have them by the economic balls. Thanks for making my point for me.
I think all countries should make sure trade is reasonably balanced. That advice is not about an East-vs-West battle.
If a car needs a detailed map to drive itself, instead of responding to visual cues like signs, curb position, road markings, then it's not truly "self driving."
The more clues it has, the better. This applies to humans also.
But the bigger issue here is unfair competition: local firms get extra info that foreign firms don't. Being we have a huge trade gap, partly because of this kind of favoritism, I hope the Trump administration makes an issue out of it and threatens sanctions.
This is the kind of thing voters hoped Trump would focus on, instead of Twitter fights with athletes. He used to always rail against China's trade practices. Let's hope the Good Trump comes out instead of the Distracted Trump.
Microsoft screwed the pooch. People sometimes used IE for compatibility. Edge came along and was neither compatible with IE nor had many features. Since people saw that IE is being phased out for Edge, they had no reason to keep using IE and no reason to use Edge because its feature-poor. Edge could someday catch up, but people won't wait around.
MS forgot the main reason people use MS is compatibility and familiarity. They keep losing when they try to compete on raw merit. Edge is yet another example.
1. Google for the shiny new framework the PHB likes 2. Read the poor instructions and take a brave guess 3. Run the APIs and pray it works on most browsers 4. Throw it out in 6 months for the next shiny toy that catches the PHB's eyes
longer space sojourns on the MIR and ISS have proven that they are indeed major problems
Most of the problems were due to lack of gravity. A spinning ship can solve that.
Radiation problems can be solved by surrounding the ship with fuel, food, water, supplies, electronics, and perhaps human waste. It needs an outer wall of about 5 to 10 feet thick of stuff, depending on density.
Magnetic or electrical charge "broadcasters" outside the ship can further reduce radiation hazards.
H was *by definition* an Originating Classification Authority
How does that directly relate to the law as written?
This was most definitely a topic where she was given the proper training, including hands-on working with properly...
Do you have links or citations for this?
She even signed documentation -- required BY LAW -- stating that she acknowledges she's been properly trained in her Originating Authority responsibilities.
Again, citations or links? And how does one know if they are fully trained if they don't know they are missing some of the courses?
The first time H saw a classification marking where she thought "I don't know what this means", and she didn't actively seek that knowledge
Like I said, those markings are also used by normal legal documents. They don't stand out as special.
Ignorance is NEVER an acceptable response when dealing with Classified materials
That's not the way the existing law is written. I'm just the messenger.
There are many reasons why long distance space travel is not possible at this time.
I'm not sure I'd claim that. A multi-generational nuclear-powered ship is perhaps within our reach if Earth collectively spent trillions of dollars on it.
By the way, what happened to the EM-drive? I've heard almost no news either way (pass/fail). China was allegedly on the cusp of testing it on a manned mission last year.
In general, it's a bummer there's no commercial reason to leave Earth orbit. A commercial reason would fuel new space technology and cost savings lessons. Around-the-moon tourism for the rich may be viable soon, but that's not sustainable: there's not enough billionaires.
Our solar system has the best planets, believe me! Those Google planets are all fake planets, fake...planets! They were "discovered" by loser "scientists" who work for CNN. I know more about astronomy than Wheelchair Hawkings, believe me! I put the "me" in "astronome". It's not astronohillary, is it! Noooo. I gave Saturn's rings to Melania as a wedding gift. Loved 'em! Crooked Hillary got Uranus. So sad.
And illegal aliens demoted Pluto trying to rig the electoral college counts. I mean Earth aliens, not goofy short green bastards who go bleep bleep like that gimp reporter; who will pay for the wall, by the way. Build a bigly Dyson Wall and Make Earth Great Again!

No. Next question?
Dude, I know the feeling
All this time I thought it was the
Back in my day we had to force ourselves to commit mitosis and grow flagellum to troll. It was painful; be grateful.
We are not blocking the sea by making up maritime laws and censoring our citizens from political discussions and complaints. Prick that!

Windows is dying as a home OS. If an Edge turn-around happens, it will be in the office, and Google has deep pockets, unlike Netscape.
Amen! The office is an illogical place.
Since "fetus" is banned, they will now use "small Trump-like being" in its place. Hand size is about right, also.

Raise cattle? Um
No, that's the 1970's.
Now it's more like:
1. Google for the shiny new framework the PHB likes
2. Read the poor instructions and take a brave guess
3. Run the APIs and pray it works on most browsers
4. Throw it out in 6 months for the next shiny toy that catches the PHB's eyes
It does't clearly say who is at fault if the training is not given.
Have 2 medium ships instead of 1 big one.

If several groups test it and find detectable thrust, it's worth investigating further. It's a long-shot, yes, but also potentially revolutionary.
research_priority = probability_of_success x potential_benefits
Being a long-shot is thus not by itself a reason to ignore it.
