Is the signal to noise ratio of these radio signals good enough so that they can detected? If the signal power is below noise and it is not a spread spectrum signal it will be next to impossible for anyone to detect it.

An effective SAM is only as effective as the radar and fire control system. It is hard to put a big radar antenna on a submarine. SAM systems on submarine would need assistance from other systems.

Why do people keep talking about turn rate advantage? The human on-board is not the only limitation. It is also structure. Higher instantaneous turn rate would require a stronger, and therefore heavier airframe, which would cut into payload. Higher sustained turn rate would require lower wing loading, or more engine power. Lower wing loading would adversely affect speed and more power would mean a bigger, heavier engine. It should be a hint to everyone all fielded drones so far are less maneuverable than manned aircraft. The big benefit of drones is loiter time.

$60 000 is not even a lot of money these days, especially for Google.

We want access to fix the things ourselves or by a third party.

I think Hyundai vehicles sold on the US market are made in the US. Kinda makes you think how Hyundai and Honda are able to manufacture in the US but Ford manufactures in Mexico.

Tht 1.3 billion is a bit like the estimated losses of record companies due to piracy. Realistically they could probably give Tesla a lower tax break and Tesla would still go there because the land in NV is way cheaper than in CA.

Somehow I don't trust that the politicians would do a significantly better job allocating these money than Tesla would. I mean these people apparently don't read what they are voting for. You could probably let a random number generator make decisions and the outcome would probably be better.

For what I know from my Polish friends the ruling party in Poland does not control all media, as private media are not controlled, but they control the narrative in public radio and TV. Though the way things are going it is not certain if they will not start controlling private media as well.

Not necessarily. When you only need one small satellite in a specific orbit a smallsat launcher may be a way to go. The market for small stas exists for a reason.

I think that decisions about suspension of accounts, or deletion of tweets should be handled by courts, not technology companies. The problem is that courts could be swamped by the number of cases.

Depends on the type of tech. Software - yes, there is an expectation that remote work will become the norm. Semiconductor industry - no, there is an expectation that we will need to get back to the office. Those of us who work in labs still go to work.

Being honest, it is probably good for people in hardware - we will have to deal with less traffic, rents will normalize and the Silicon Valley will be about Silicon again an not software.

As opposed to Russia already being a totalitarian state ruled by state propaganda for pretty much the entire history of existence of the country.

This is a misconception. Before WWI Germany was trading a lot with Great Britain and France, and that did not prevent one of the most bloody and most pointless wars in history.

Yes. Coding is a useful tool for analyzing complex problems. You can attack numerically many problems which are not traceable analytically. Example of such problems are optimization and differential equations. These are very useful tools for anyone who does serious engineering work.
