It would, but if we observed phenomena of that nature we would instantly boost our own R&D greatly

> Not saying I agree with what they are doing, but give me a break. That's an incredibly misleading way of saying what's actually happening, which is removing books from public high school and below institutions which they deem as inappropriate.
Ah yes. Lets wait till they're adults with full time non-educational schedules and fully [under]developed ideas of the world and biases that are set in stone. They can do all their reading and learning then!
Don't forget, we the Republicans also wage war against liberal arts and higher education programs that might want to explore these so-called books/ideas in Universities as well.

Speak english bro.
But no, it’s not a pipe dream. Tiktok is turning kids brains to mush, and you know it

Well that's just not going to happen without a fundamental change in our constitution or decades of common law protecting data collection at the expense of privacy.
>It shouldn’t be a specific company banning
It should because it must. Or we get nothing, not even national security. Privacy is a pipe dream. National Security is not.

No. Your premises make sense. But your rationale to "then ban every other..." does not. That's a leap that can be accomplished AFTER we've distanced ourselves from the grasp of China.

>Except speakers are smaller than the empty space already required to exist in cars.
OP was referring to abstract concept of “vehicles as drones”, the future….and you continue to reference the engineering requirements and crumple zones in your 2022 Toyota.

He elaborated that he’s thinking ahead, thinking abstract. That the end goal is always space and weight saving. Space saved on the inside will translate to design on the outside. And he’s not wrong.
There’s a reason your laptop uses coin sized fans and speakers

From where I’m looking it really only needs apple to fuck off with this green/blue-text nonsense on iMessage to turn back the tide. Android would come storming back.
That’s the cord holding this entire apple-crazy mindset together. If shit was seamless between apps and devices, there wouldn’t be any concrete reason to think of a rectangular screen hidden behind a case as superior or inferior to any other. But being in club blue-text is how folks identify the “cool kids” from the masses and apply the pressure to conform.

It certainly will be. More fuel (to push range to China or the upper atmosphere), more sensors and reconnaissance equipment, and a greater variety of armaments to deal with just about anything.

You’ve gotta use your tiny, aggressive brain to realize that sensationalized headlines like this aren’t 100% correct. They aren’t printing whole ovaries in space on a janky prototype launch.
They’re conducting experiments, in the same way millions of experiments are conducted on Earth regarding human tissue engineering.
What experiments? You’d have to look at the mission statement. It could be as simple as taking a patch of cells up there and seeing if they adhere/behave differently in space.

With the right modules, yes. We just don’t use small lab spaces and small versions of large devices that you’re accustomed to because we don’t have to or want to.
We’ve managed to micronize everything else, including powerful computers. And because you’re used to seeing such tiny computers in the palm of you’re hand, you don’t consider that we can do the same to other larger instruments. Which is OP’s point.
