The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Google Joins SpaceX


For John, BLUF:  Space is the place.  Nothing to see here; just move along.


Here is some good news, from Gizmoto—Google is investing (along with some others) about $1 Billion in Elon Musk's SpaceX Internet project.
Musk recently revealed some details about his as yet unnamed space internet project to Bloomberg.  A team of about 5o employees at the new SpaceX office in Seattle are working on a project that would use about 700 small satellites to provide internet access to the entire planet, with a strong focus on rural and developing areas.  SpaceX declined to comment on the plans and the Google investment in an email to Gizmodo.
Sure, I worry that Google is evil, but the idea of a free (or low cost) Internet, outside the control of the FCC and all the other global censors, appeals to me.
