I have been pushing this for the last 5 years. In particular, America and Europe have made heavy use of illegals to do low-labor work. That needs to stop NOW. Instead, all of the west needs to push robotics fast to handle manufacturing as well as take on the low-end work. It is easier and cheaper than ever before.
Oddly, 9/11 takes a LOT of credit for that. A lot of work has gone into item/facial recognition, and these days, AI work on Cars is about to make it easy for manufacturing.
Police can search your car if you have illegal items in the open. When they can NOT search it, is if they have no probably cause. IOW, if they do not see something in the open, then they need a warrent.
BTW, my reason for suggesting that it be encrypted is to encourage everybody to encrypt. Simple as that.
No they don't. It was the GOP that crafted the US patriot act and then cut back on NSA oversight.
What the GOP does is APPEAR to support the Constitution when their followers scream about it.
It should require a warrent, iff the email is encrypted. By doing that, it will actively encourage every email client to include encryption AND to make it the default.
We need a way to encourage ALL emails to be encrypted.
Seriously, once the first one goes, it should be possible to land 2-4 tonnes on Mars. And with it being enclosed, it should be easy to control the HVAC for various instruments. The real problem is, how to get things out of there. Probes. Landers. Etc.
Regardless, if SpaceX is successful, which I would be shocked if they are not, then it will dramatically change how we study Mars.
Best of all, this will costs a fraction of what the other missions have costs. Heck, we should be able to send a red dragon AND 1-2 sats using a $100 M falcon heavy.
Truthfully, these companies, like IBM, Apple, HP, GE, etc are their own worst enemies. Far too often they move their manufacturing offshore to China, giving up their technology to other companies in China all to boost their stock prices. Then when they fall due to competition, to boost their stock prices again, they will start to sell these divisions. Slowly, but surely, these MBAs such as Fiorina, are destroying American companies. Apple simply followed the same path by not only offshoring their manufacturing, but by giving it away. They own NOTHING of what is important.
If Apple or IBM or HP or etc. really wanted to re-grow and become relevant, they would bring back manufacturing and keep their corporate secrets under their hat.
Put simply, there were far fewer players in the game with far fewer outlets for their content, so audiences were easy to sell to and easy to come by.
Right there, he is 100% wrong by 180 degrees. The number of media outlets used to be HUGE AND VARIED in both Europe and America. Then Clinton and EU allowed for media to merge and we ended up with a relatively few large media companies trying hard to control access. Basically, had Clinton and EU NOT allowed for the massive growth via mergers, then we would not have the issues that we have today. It took groups like Murdoch's and clear channel to trying to buy and dominate that has caused the real issues.
Seriously, if CA was to join the Netherlands in banning new gas/diesel cars by 2025, then all car makers would quickly stop producing these and switch to EVs, or SOMETHING else. Those that did not, can just fail. With this approach, it will cause car makers and buyers to clean up their act very quickly and drop emissions fast.
Now, as to burning oil and coal by 3rd world nations, That argument is total BS. The reason is that the vast majority of 3rd world nations do NOT have lots of oil and coal. As such, the majority of their electricity comes from Hydro. And if you go look at the emissiosn / $GDP, many of them are in the middle, not at the bottom. So, who is at the bottom? Mostly BRIC and South Africa but esp. China. These nation's increased their output via using coal and oil in inefficient and uneconomical means. So, a tax on all goods based on what nations/ US states they come from, would force them all to clean up their act.
Finally, by starting this LOW, and increasing it YEARLY, it gives ALL NATIONS and US STATES time to change. At the same time, this rewards those nations/states that clean up QUICKLY, or are already low and keep it low.
With this approach, it means that if a nation continues to build new coal plants they will pay a price down the road as the economy will slowly decrease. OTOH, if a nation adjusts, then they will be rewards with no taxes.
So, it is time for you far lefties to quit following foolish paths. Hell, even James Hansen dislikes what you fools are doing. He knows that you are destroying the globe.
Seriously, if I were Bigelow, I would be thinking in terms of what parts of the net are vittle and useful. Wikipedia actually IS both vittle and useful.
Ppl that really want to see CO2 drop.
Please consider what is REALLY going on.
China's numbers are based on what China's gov tells you.
The west's numbers are based on real measurements.
Because of OCO2, china recently admitted that their coal burning was some 17% MORE, which is a HUGE amount.
BUT, according to OCO2, it remains lower than what it appears.
OCO3 is coming, along with a new sat from Japan. Both will measure in absolute values. China is scared to death of these sats. Why? Because they measure in ABSOLUTE VALUES AND ARE HONEST.
China's emission is much closer to 1/2 of the world's total, not 33% as they claim. Look at the graphs and data that OCO2 produces.
BUT, there is a way to fix this. America can puts an increasing tax on consumed goods based on where the worst sub-part comes from ( either nation and States ). In doing this, it will encourage production, and sub-parts to come from only good areas. Why? Because America is the world's largest importer. IOW, we can impact the world's economy, as well as by dropping the production in bad places, it will improve the air quickly.
In addition, this has to be true CO2 levels. So we use satellites to measure. There are 2 up there now, with oco3 coming later this year. Oco3 will give accurate emission levels of the world.
Then we need a decent normalization. The current pish is emissions / capitia. Worst idea going. All of the ppl's individual choices amount to nothing in terms of emissions. IOW, we do not control it. It is business and gov that do. As such, emissions is far more tied to GDP. And to keep nations from manipulating their money, we use co2/ $ GDP.
With the above, it would reward goods made in low emission areas, while taxing those goods that use even parts from high emissions. Nations and states like Sweden, France, and California would have a major up since their emissions / $GDP is low. OTOH, Obviously China would be at the bottom. They have more than 1TW of electricity being produced by coal. OTOH, if they quit investing into new coal plants and instead put their money into Wind, Solar, Geo-thermal, Nuke, hydro, they could clean up in 10-20 years.
Seriously, corporate taxes are too easy to hide.
It is time to cut the tax breaks, cut the not paying taxes when offshore, and at the same time, cut the taxes. By having corporations pay increasing tax up to 20%, we would see more money.
At the same time, we need to change the dividend tax to 30%. IOW, it should be at similar level as what is paid for wages.
Ideally, we would ALSO prohibit all executives from owning publicly traded stock in their industry. By doing that, they can properly manage the company.
Hopefully, CONgress will nix this one again.
What is needed is for America (if not every nation) to put a tax on all consumed goods based on where the worst part comes from (and with America, it should include our states). In doing this, it makes ALL nations bring their CO2 way down and keep it down.
The hard part is that it needs to be based on REAL NUMBERS, such as what OCO3 would give us, and a smart normalization, which would be CO2 per $ GDP.
If America, who is the world's largest importer, was to do this, it would force all nations to drop their emissions to being equal or better than nations like Sweden (who is one of the lowest emissions). In addition, it would force China to HONESTLY clean up.
It should be required that all new buildings below 6 stories to have enough on-site AE electricity to equal the energy usage of the HVAC. In doing this, it will lead to using geo-thermal HVAC, along with aerogel based windows, as opposed to triple pane that are expensive and not as good.

Really? Please provide links that show that American businesses developed espionage,and something from Pravda, xinhua, or people's daily.

Oddly, trash like that live to go to Scandinavian nations. But most nations will take trash like him. Sadly, we are likely stuck with him.

Both major Parties are controlled by the wealthy. Want it to stop? Then we need election reform as is pushed by Lawrence lessig.

Got news for you. Because the manufacturing is in China, you do not own either design or engineering. U were sold a bill of BS from some MBAs.
Who said that this needs labor? Labor should be less than 1% of the costs on these. As such, it should all be AUTOMATED.
They should have joined with Tesla and Apple, not these losers.
Truthfully, these companies, like IBM, Apple, HP, GE, etc are their own worst enemies.

Seriously, if these are portal to others, then there has to be portals from others to here. Where are they?
First off, China, in fact, any other nation, does not get to decide how we tax our goods. We decide that, just as they decide on their massive amounts of tariffs that they have in place today.
Secondly, while China IS America's 3 %, they are a SMALL %. Canada is around 20%, while China is 8%, which is not enough to care, esp. when China dumps 20% on us.
And again, EU has nothing to do with America's taxation on ALL OF OUR GOODS. And the dems will very likely be in control next term. My guess is that they will be happy to do the right things, if given a choice
Now, as to burning oil and coal by 3rd world nations, That argument is total BS.
The reason is that the vast majority of 3rd world nations do NOT have lots of oil and coal. As such, the majority of their electricity comes from Hydro.

Great. So you have solar on your home, you are off-grid, and you use your solar to charge your Tesla. Right?
Seriously, that will be the end of AMD in no time flat.
