No new technology is required. All they have to do is define and grade a right-of-way, acquire strips of land where needed, and order existing components made in Europe and Asia. Land csots could be mitigated by using existing routes like the broad median of I-5 in rural areas.
If Democrats can't reclaim the spirit of Franklin Roosevelt and finish this project, they can't finish anything.
And I'll bet that if you had called the FBI they would have ignored you.
Years ago, long before there was an Internet, I did call the FBI on a PC purchase scam that crossed a state line, putting it in their jurisdiction. They did call me in for an interview, but I subsequently heard nothing.
Not only does the airline still get paid in full, but they can resell any unused seat on a segment at walkup prices. It's a win-win for them, so the lawsuit is just a try at win-win-win.
In the US, an airline's internal rule has no force of law outside the company itself. Violate one, and the most that can happen is that the company will no longer do business with you and/or will cancel loyalty points they have on account for you. Is the situation legally different in Germany?
Cable broadband beats satellite for throughput in densely populated areas. Faced with satellite competition, ISPs are going to ask themselves, "What is the probability of this area becoming densely populated enough for this higher efficiency to happen?" My guess is that most of the rural places already served by broadband will be places where the cable was installed because the company is betting on urban growth.
We can't read the linked article because it's paywalled, but did SpaceX actually locate half its facility in Mexico? If not, then any wall that does get built will not divide the facility. If it actually does straddle the border, then just set the Mexican half up as a maquiladora.
Yea but then you have one big monopoly in the sky... remember when googles motto was do no evil?
A business is only a monopoly if people are forced to use it. Like, for instance, today's rural Internet access. If you're lucky, there is broadband cable available to your neighborhood. But because there is never more than one provider outside large cities, a satellite alternative would be good competition.
Suppose I'm in the market for a new camera lens. I google for tech reviews and user critiques. I make a choice, and then jump onto Amazon.
A week after my new lens arrives, every online ad I see is suddenly for the lenses I searched for, including all the ones I didn't buy. What have all these advertisers bought from Google, exactly? While I'm out on the trail shooting with my new lens, they are funneling targeted ads they paid a premium for to a target market that no longer exists.
Yeah. We were pushed into a corner for decades and now that we made gold in that corner we are called toxic, sexist, xenophobic, alt-right, literally any modern slur to force us out of where we were forced in to.
Pathetic how transparent the dead-weight portion of society is.
Best comment all week! Sorry, modpointless at the moment.
Because any technology, no matter how primitive, can be misused, regressing to some earlier level of it will not magically cure problems in human culture. I could use a shillelagh to gratuitously go around bullying people - or I could use it to hunt food for my family.
But I'm glad that Ariana Huffington is pushing this. If we could get her to relaunch her failing site in cuneiform pressed into clay tablets, there will be fewer bad ideas being spread.
Brussels is hoping that people will be driven back to print media or their subscription sites for news. You know, to the days when everyone got their daily news from one, prefereably local source.
Google will soon introduce another AI to find all those notices from your bank, airline, library, car manufacturer, and doctors that went to your spam folder.
Those painted runway numbers are going to have to be replaced with LED displays and periodically updated. This will be a huge cash cow for some electronics company.
New spices and new tastes are where GMO technology is going. Currently, we're only using it to make growing produce easier for the farmer and getting it to us easier for the shipper. New tastes will open up and be embraced by a new generation of food-hacking hipsters.

I eat cows, pigs and lambs because they taste so good. You people are like Trappist monks, though without the inner peace.
Enjoy your high-sanctimonium diet. Just don't bother the rest of us. We have some grilling to do.

How do you know it was plastic?
It was their meth bundle wrappers.
Besides, if you could manage about twice that pressure, you can make diamonds. Now that's the way to sequester carbon.
Baffin Island would be a better choice. The climate promotes clean living, and the endangered polar bears get a steady supply of food.
Nobody wants to see your Leptotyphlops carlae, buddy, not even the National Enquirer.

With today's lightweight structural materials, goalposts are more easily moved now than ever before.
No, their "We actually never landed on the Moon" will become "We never landed on Mars." The goalposts no longer even need to be physical.
When cryptocoins are lost, the value of the remainder go up.
...Each time making crypto a little less useful as a currency, and a little more of a fake digital "investment."
