Look. I can not tell you more than I have. However, here is a bit of logic for you. If you are from China, then you are picking the right side and saying the right things.
However, if you are from the west, then ask yourself, who you want listening? Do you want China listening who is in an economic war with the west, or possible America? I can not speak about what we do in Europe, but, O closed rank with most, if not all, of the EU govs after snowden's treason. As such, any spying that America does in Europe, we do with local permission ( obviously VERY high up in any gov).
So, with that said, and assuming the worst, who do you want listening (in addition to your gov)? America who is looking for terrorists (and have reported them and stopped a NUMBER of attacks on western nations) OR China, who is using it for economic warfare (steal anything of business value) and will likely use it for warfare when it is to their advantage?
BTW, with all that said, If you mention trump and the fact that we Americans have gone fucking INSANE, then I understand exactly where you are coming from.
Uh no. The reasons for Huawei boycott DOES stand up. The issue is that you will not be shown the full evidence. Ever. Unless you work in the intelligence community. And even then, I doubt it.
And your last paragraph is total nonsense. Ppl like Trump does not give a flying fuck about Silicon Valley. Hell, he is letting iphone plummet against Huawei and not doing anything about it. More importantly, this battle is not from the WH or commerce. It is from the intelligence community. BIG difference.
Fact is, only in America have our businesses been so stupid as to ignore the nation in which they are based in. In Europe, Asia, South America, etc, businesses remember to support their nation. Here, in America, we have foisted such BS on ourselves that even the executives screw over America. Don't want to employ here, OR be taxed, but by god, if China or some other nation screws with them, we are expected to jump all over it.
Total BS. Congrats to those Chinese companies that are patriotic enough to support their nation.
These are just fronts for Chinese products. It sends nearly all of the money on product sale to china. As such, this make local economies poorer and poorer.
it says that the feds are trying to block them everywhere. That is not true. just trying to block them in nations which we consider allies and they have access to sensitive data. If these are nations that we are not really allies with and do not share any sensitive/classified data with, we do not care.
Somewhat, wrong.
You are correct that the PRIMARY cause of red tide is the extra nitrates, Phosphorus, and Fe that enables the red tide microorganisms to thrive. However, normally, there is fast tidal movement that sweeps through the gulf and moves the PO4, nitrates, and Fe out of the gulf and up along the American eastern coastline, which as you know, runs up to Europe and warms them. Issue is, that with AGW, and in particular, Greenland's massive ice melt, it is actually slowing down the movement. This is now being tracked. By slowing down, it allows the pollution to move slow and give the microorgs time to grow. Oddly, there is actually LESS pollution being dumped down the miss, then there used to be. But with the slowing down, it is simply allowing the pollution to hang around and do its thing.
spot on.
GOP are causing this, but the GD Dems have NOTHING original amongst the lot of them.
It is so easy to solve things like Cimate change, red tide, even our deficits, but both parties are composed of gutless wonders.
Chances are good that Sardines will migrate north and restart the sardine cannery in CA. Sounds like it is minor, but at this time, the Sardines are around mexico and China basically raids the fisheries quite frequently
Part of that warfare was necessary. Basically, AQ in Afghanistan, and maybe ISIS. Had W not invaded Iraq, I tend to believe that the middle east would not be so loony right now. But yes, we continue to ignore IKE's advice.
CA recently requires that all new buildings have so many sq feet of solar on their roof top. That is actually a horrible regulation since it really does not accomplish much, except take business away from local utility.
Instead, they should have required that all new buildings of 6 stories and under have enough on-site unsubsidized AE to => the HVAC's energy usage.
This way, it gives developers choices on where to spend, be it LED lighting or better, more insulation, better windows, and/or ideally a geo-thermal HVAC, OR to buy much bigger AE systems, such as solar.
Fact is, it would be better for developers to spend it on the first, so as to not spend so much on the AE system.
Caffeinated bacon/crimson tsunami, very likely comes from china. But there are others here whose job is to come here and lie. Until sites vet ppl ( just have to get them as being who they claim; do not have to tell others it ), this will continue.
Until we stop 100% of addition fossil fuel plants, CO2 will continue to climb.
In addition, we did to require that no additional coal is burned than what we currently do.
And if Nat Gas replaces coal, then again, it should be no more than 90% of CO2 from the old coal plant.
IOW, no additional burning of fossil fuel, while at the same time, when new places replace old ones, the new plants should either burn slightly less coal, or nat gas that is less CO2 than the coal that it replaces.
Boom was next door to me, so to speak. In fact, at my old desk, I could look out at their building across the runway. Now, when my son is going for flight lessons, the office is right next door to boom. As such, I have heard from several ppl there, that they are going just fine. XB-1 should be test flown next year, however, the one issue that they have, is the engines. XB-1 will likely be flown with different engines initially, than what the airliner will.
As to spike and Aerion, I hear they are still moving forward, but I do not know anybody in them, so can not really speak up. Hopefully, they are.
Actually, Boom will fly faster than the Concorde, be quieter than any supersonic today, and will cost less per seat than Concorde or what today's aircraft do. The reason is that in the space of business you can fit 2 ppl, and in 1st, 3 or more. So, a supersonic can fly nothing BUT business/1st, give them coach+ (basically, first class from any domestic airline), and then get them to destinations in at hour or so.
In fact, that is EXACTLY what BFR/BFS will be doing. However, it will not be carrying regular passengers, but the 1st/business class type passengers. The coach will likely fly heavies between coasts.
SX, and other launch companies, need the ability to launch constantly. In fact, if SX can launch daily, their costs are around $3M, give or take. So, the BFR/BFS (or whatever the new name is), is being designed to orbital and then land way around the planet. According to numbers by SX, they believe that they can fill BFR with a load of 'first/business' class passengers, fly them from say LA to UK, or LA to Australia/Japan, or Australia to UK, all in under an hour per flight, AND BE PROFITABLE.
SX is making it such that will produce and sell rockets to various airlines and let them compete. Hopefully, Heavies will be used to fly full coach+ from coast to coast at a decent price. Yeah, it will take some 7 hours to go from DC to UK, but, still cheap.

WTF do you live?
I live in 80126/Highlands Ranch, co, now. BUT, when I lived at Ft. Collins, CO, I worked for US West and then US West AT and later Bell Labs (just before being split off ATT).
Never mind. I see. Utah. Yeah, you guys are MUCH better off with your own fiber. I worked a bit at qwest, but they were a joke as well, and my understanding is that CL makes Qwest/USWest look great. And yep back in Clinton's time, there was a lot of talk about doing fiber. And then competition disappeared and instead, companies ran around buying each other. Less risk, and CEOs would walk off with golden parachutes.
Obviously, you do not know what it means. Net Neutrality through regulation means that ISP have to allow ANY/ALL traffic through both directions. The problem becomes that they would then be blocked from going after spam or other bad traffic. Seriously. That would eventually end up in courts with the bad guys able to use this against the ISP.
Now, the fact is, that the ISP current uses it to squeeze server side such as Netflix. In the end, there is no easy solution to this, EXCEPT to have a close monopoly, where they are not into a profit. The only way to have that, is for our local gov to do just the monopoly. From there, if we can get multiple ISPs, from which to pick from, then we have a solution where we get net neutrality for the data that we want, while being able to block the bad traffic without future court battles. And with the rural area, starlink and 1-web will likely have enough competition that they will be net-neutral while still blocking bad.
Sadly, it goes on ALL the time. Normally, the west does NOT do this. We are normally above it. Sadly, W, and now trump, are showing that America's morals are plummeting. It needs to stop.

wow. just googled it. Ontario really warms it up. Considering how shallow of a lake it is, I am surprised by that it provides that much heating.
considering that northern illinois hit -40, I suspect that Toronto has hit -40 or lower as well.

That is exactly what we need at all towns and above.
