Comment Globalization and monopolies (Score 1) 187

I'm not even sure I understand what it means to try and break up a monopoly in a global economy. It's not as simple as the US Congress making some law, why would China care ? Likewise if Chine passes some anti-Facebook legislation does the EU give a shit ? The waters become even muddier when there are two companies each proxies for a major power, e.g. Baidu and Google. Does the US really want to hurt Google and give Baidu an advantage, anybody anticipate China breaking up Baidu and giving Google an advantage ?

I get what you mean to imply but I suspect that scenario would just result in you handing over your information *and* some money. At least in the current environment you get to give away your details for free. But yeah, if they can figure out how to charge you for taking down all of your personal details they certainly will.

You mean like the bridge in Florida ? There's a difference between intentionally sacrificing a human being in the hopes that it will somehow advance autonomous vehicles and stating that it's ok to allow non-perfect vehicles on the road because they're already a damn sight safer than humans. So you can wait forever for your perfect utopia while the rest of us get on with incrementally improving of our current dystopia. And what exactly does this have to do with gaming F1 racing rules ?
