Did you know it costs millions of dollars for our educational system to change maps to make sure every reprint of the billions of maps it provides to our kids conforms to the federal guidelines?
Same for our every government organization. This bullshit is intended to divide the country over inconsequential bullshit and bankrupt the government itself.
The billionaires intentionally push for bullshit so they can say the system is broken. This is just another exhibit of that fact
GPS is vulnerable to various attacks.
It’s unclear what the capabilities are, but there IS a Russian satellite that HAS jammed GPS for almost a whole hemisphere. It’s operated several times for a couple seconds over these past few years.
Veritassium did a great presentation on how we know this.
Probably hoping to do what GitHub did. Profit of the metrics of who is downloading what, who is developing what and having everyone uploading all their stuff to them.
Microsoft didn’t buy GitHub for the storage and bandwidth bills.
NVidia isn’t buying huggingface for the storage and bandwidth bills either
Wow bro, you’re so smart. Clearly once someone posts something to the Internet that is the only action they are taking. And clearly posting to the Internet is only as effective at communicating the problem as putting up posters for thousands of people to read.
What should we do about it OP not knowing your super-smart insight here? Reply to their post about it?
Wrong. Very wrong. These costs will be taken from the budgets of the individual organizations who are paying for maps
The majority of these agencies are already underfunded.
Schools for example will not receive funds to update their course materials. They will have to take that money from somewhere else in their budget.
The private corporations that make these course materials will be delighted at a new federal standard that schools are low-key forced to comply with or risk losing federal funding
You are right that the military budget will not feel the change
