    Scala is such a language, that is why the question was risen.

    A hyperloop is not a "vacuum system".
    It is constantly under vacuum.

    Why don't you get a clue instead of insulting people with your retarded name?

    Did you ever see how two space ships dock? Or Submarines? A "train car" in a hyperloop is docking to an airlock. There is no damn need to evacuate anything.

    It is a no brainer that a hyper loop train pipe would make no sense if you had to evacuate it (partly or fully) all the time before using it (*facepalm*)

    You are talking about Dyson or Vorwerk? You are working for them? I guess you are mixing some stuff up. Hyperloops have nothing to do with "vacuum systems".

    How timely the trains are depends a bit on country. E.g. France has a relatively low frequency of trains but aside from natural disaster they are usually on the minute. Switzerland on the other hand has a relatively slow train network, because the Swiss prefer timely trains over fast trains. So it can happen that a train is standing in a station for half an hour to pick up travelers from connecting trains.
    In Germany it depends on route and time of the year or what ever construction project is going on. Often the trains are super timely. But then again there periods of months were everything is delayed.

    But my trip from Karlsruhe to Paris, about 550km, takes more less exactly 3h. I start from walking distance of my home (or 4 stations with a tram) and end up in Gare de l'Est 5 or 6 metro stations from the place I live in Paris. Bottom line significantly less than 4h. With a a car, besides the "not so far distance" you need easy 6h - 8h. And flying would mean: I end outside of Paris. Need nearly an hour to get to my destination. And: I have 60 - 90 minutes travel to the next air port close to my town. (And have to be min. 45 mins early for check in procedure)

    Depending where you want to go and in which order, using a train is most likely the most comfortable traveling in Europe.

    Wow, you really think they make a vacuum in the pipe just before the train starts, and fill it again with air when the car arrives at the destination just to rinse and repeat that.

    Sorry, simple question: are you a retard? Did you got a smack on your head lately? Felt from a roof or something?

    That is obviously not the same thing.

    In Italy this has now resulted in a new blocking order issued by the Criminal Court of Genoa. The Court ruled that Popcorn Time assists copyright infringement and has ordered local ISPs to block several domain names.

    That order was referring to an illegal activity done with the App itself.

    Uber is a bit more complicated as the drivers are doing the illegal activity if they carry passengers without proper license. You could argue that Uber is still on the sound legal site, or would so if it made sure its drivers have the required licenses.

    Sorry, you are mistaken.
    You can not simply pass a law that blocks a certain companies IP range.
    How should that be possible? We have constitutions here, you knwo. Basic laws that for instance demand that other laws are equal for everyone.
    And blocking an IP range is pretty pointless if you go via a proxy ...

    You seem to be bad in math :)
    If you kill 90% of the 'lowest carbon dioxid' producers, then CO2 production is not dropping by 50%.
    Because: they don't produce that much carbon. A big deal of the population of the planet has no need to produce particular high amounts of CO2, because they live in places where you don't need more than a car or the amount of cars is rather low.
    CO2 is not only produced by individuals, but also industry and offices. Keep the shops closed at night and you need less energy than a shop in country that is supposed to be oppen 24/7 (even if it is not frequented).
    My point is: the nations and individuals that produce the most CO2 have to reduce at most and the quickest.
    The populatin size is irrelevant, it is about to plateau anyway during our lifetime.

    They pay real estate taxes. That has nothing to to do with Airbnb.
    They pay tourist taxes, as that is done via Airbnb and the fees they deduct.
    The money you "earn" via Airbnb is usually not taxable, as it only reduces your rent you pay yourself, and is thus not an income.
    There is no difference between a "third person" that lives as a "flat mate" in your flat versus a tourist. If they "make money" by sub renting and don't declare the income, it is tax fraud. That has nothing to do with Airbnb.

    Uber is something different, they "threat public safety" .... well, in theory. Could/should the laws be changed? Perhaps. Not sure actually.

    Should Uber be tolerated breaking the laws? Absolutely not!

    Actually, VW was not "cheating on the tests".

    The rule was: 'if you are under test, the car has to have this properties', which their cars had.

    So, while morally it is wrong, technically it was correct

    And I really doubt that other car companies don't suffer from the same problematic interpretation of laws and regulations. Considering that VW does not produce its own engines ....
