Serve them right if they harm the US economy and all those bonds held by Chinese banks become worthless. China isn't much without trading partners. Seems they'd recognise this and lay off.
For you, they just need to patent the method of recording where your order all your delivery food so they can then target you with coupons for local competitors.
Assuming you don't already have a huge stock of pizza and Chinese coupons stuck to the fridge.;)
Buy my pizzas at Trader Joe's and I do my own Chinese/Thai cooking from scratch (and had a panic run on the market when I heard about the flooding in Thailand, where some of the spices I use come from!)
As for tracking, I have a Lackey travelbug, which will likely crash your browser, if you view where it has been on Google Maps.
Sure, a flood of data looks mundane, but combing it with the right filters probably tells lots of interesting stuff, like the DNA of relationships and interests. I can only hope mine is utterly meaningless. I've tried very hard to ensure that eventuality.
China claims success in their Weather Control efforts, when in reality those increases in precipitation are actually a result of their contribution to global warming--warmer air has the potential to "hold" more water.
One would think, with all the particulate matter they throw up into the air they would already be causing increased precipitation.
Well, Mulholland and his lot thought they could make the desert bloom, bring water to the southwestern US from the Columbia River and the Great Lakes, so ambitious were their schemes. Fortunately they only met with limited success - which Los Angeles was developed out of.
But if the moisture isn't already in the air in sufficient quantities, it doesn't want to come pouring down.
Why not just build desalination plants to take demand off rivers downstream and reservoirs upstream to retain water from high rainfall years?
Built the Three Gorges Dam, which is a dam disaster to the population and environment, now they going to play around with the sky. Not very forward thinking, really.
You will be arriving at the Moon Base in 3 hours forty five minutes... You will be arriving at the Moon Base in two minutes... You will be arriving at the Moon Base in six days and twenty three hours... You will be arriving at the Moon Base in calculating... You will be.... ... ... . ..
Also would be interesting to see what China is bidding.
China and Iran are hardly on friendly terms, particularly militarily - what with Iran channeling funds into Western China political disruption. Nope. They may be happy to sell them oil, but if they have a military secret China doesn't possess, they're going to keep it.
Not like China couldn't make their own, anyway. Probably already have and are using them over Tibet and Xinjiang to keep tabs on people.
I never want to under-estimate Rutan, but he wants to glue two 747 fuselages together and have them flying in 5 years? Like, above houses where people live? Okey doke.
Personally, I was stunned the first time I saw a space shuttle astride a 747. Looked completely ungainly, but those babies have some carrying capacity!
I curious why they don't latch onto some old B52s and bring them up to date. Quite amazing themselves.
Very often the police themselves are the ones doing the lying. Did your elder brother mention all the casual testilying to you as well? Typically police have no sense of ethics themselves and so just assume that everyone else is lying all the time as well. They will typically say things like "everyone lies". You don't have to be a psychologist to figure out why they think that.

Spend some time in a court. Don't feed your opinion of law enforcement from Television shows. Stop reading sensationalist press.
Well, in your example, you clearly had to travel twice as far in the second example. It took 3 trudges in the first example. The second example was 3 trudges, open a door, then 3 trudges!
Both rooms were of equal size. I'll have you know this is a controlled experiment. Thankyewverramuch.
As the title said, walking through doorways caused forgetting
I could see how that would be a survival instinct. When you cross a barrier into another space, job one for your brain is taking stock of where you are and processing possible threats. It's not that you forget what you have in your hand, your brain has merely busy with another set of priorities.
When our ancestors moved from the cover of the woods to a grassy meadow, when they entered a cave, or rounded the bend of a river they were effectively going through a door to another space. The surviving human brains would have been attuned to both threats and opportunities, which would be a priority processing task kicked off by crossing the barrier threshold.
Now we walk into a room and look for RIAA, MPAA, FBI, CIA, CBP, IRS, CHP, Bucket o' Lawyers, Rambus, Apple's IP hounds, Fine Print, Wall Street Bankers, Lobbyists, WBC, FUD, Moderation, Metamoderation, Firehose, &c., there could be a giant space walrus with photon-flippers, but we'd completely miss it and stroll into its clutches.
Doesn't seem like it's doorways or line of sight, but changing rooms is like turning a new page in ones mind. New room, new collection of objects, new page of memory to work with.
That's how I feel it works in my own mind in any case.
Hundreds of processes happen, going from one room to another. Identifying the door is a good start (walls are so unyielding) looking for the knob, using hand-eye coordination to put hand on doorknob, turn, sense door opens or does not, pulling, pushing, how far is door open, don't hit it going through, see objects in new room, processes information (I didn't walk out into space and plummet like Wile E. Coyote, etc.) then resume walking, assuming you know what you came in for.
Probably at some point they'll use this as a screen for Alzheimers Disease (or early onset dementia.)
Changing mental focus causes forgetting. Can you multi-thread?

I frequently find distraction breaks my thread of thought and I lose the frayed thread end. Rather like going up stairs - "Uh. What did I come up here for?" Go downstairs - "Uh.

Fines aren't high enough. Make them proportional to income, like they do in Germany. Ha! Imagine Bill Gates III going down I-5 on his phone while at the wheel and receiving a fine for $10 Billion.
FYI, that only applies to fines ordered by a court. Fines for speeding and stuff like that are fixed and independent of income.
Jan Ullrich, German cyclist, backed his Porsche over someone's bicycle and drove off, in a drink-driving incident. His fine was based upon his income. About 600,000€.

The way the budget is shaping up this Christmas, that's all they gonna get.
Of course, statistics gathered from Geocaching might prove prior art, no?
Who else is going to fund private space travel, you?
All I an afford is the Ralph Kramden method - Bang! Zoom!
The main problem is that they yield extremely expensive water.
Then you're doing it all wrong. Brute force desalination, with a power plant behind you, is a very crude way of doing it.
Sure, a flood of data looks mundane, but combing it with the right filters probably tells lots of interesting stuff, like the DNA of relationships and interests. I can only hope mine is utterly meaningless. I've tried very hard to ensure that eventuality.
Sorry commies, but only the Allies can have the weather control device. Go play with your nuke and iron curtain.
Don't be too harsh, they may end up with Oobleck and a valuable lesson they'll have learned!
I can see it now.

hey, this is money well spent. those billionaires work hard for their space travel. they deserve a break every now and then.
Think of it as the real Trickle-down in action - super rich entrepeneur puts hundreds of people to work, designing, crafting, building, wiring and so on. It's a good thing©
