    City and state governments can also shape car use.
    European tax rates on traditional cars, older cars, not allowing cars in a city centre.
    Forcing a generation to churn to fewer cars and new cleaner, safe cars.
    Tax to drive into a city. Adding more funding and support for bicycle, taxi, rail, streetcar, light rail.

    Look at what Fiat and Lada did with their https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... work over the decades.
    People got cars and when they get freedom they dream of US cars.

  5. The production lines are set up to make a set number of cars per worker per hour.
    The numbers of cars got based on the size of US families. Mother, father needs a work car.
    Son, daughter have a style of car they want and they will need for work or study.
    Thats a few new sales and a lot of car parts over the average family and average use of a few cars.
    Add in some SUV or RV or car related hobby.
    The production lines are not easy to just slow, get turned off or be altered.
    Cities and states offered a lot of support to attract decades of car related work for their voters.
    Less car sales are less happy voters with jobs.

  6. One way to fix this on How Can Businesses Close 'The Cybersecurity Gap'? (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Make every US security position have some national standard.
    If your company wants US customers invest in US staff that are cleared to work in the USA.
    Cover contractors too and ensure most of the security staff have a full, legal background in the USA.
    That would fund US tech education, make US education responsive to the needs of US tech firms and create jobs in clearing staff background work.
    Not a criminal? Loyal to the USA? Not on social media doing things that are not legal?
    That would open a path to study and low level security jobs. Study more, find more work and good wages.
    Remove the ability to outsource or use one expert US worker to cover huge groups of workers in other nations.
    Make computer security work like medicine. Select only the people who can work and make sure they can do the work.
    Just like a hospital or any medical service, find the US tech staff with some education.
    US workers with skills would find jobs, US educators would respond to the need for more staff and brands in the USA would have to hire real US workers.

    AC "senior positions" is code for one person who can sign off on any city, state or federal/mil project while the majority of the project is done at a low cost outside the USA.
    That will be their made in the USA public face if they ever have to face congress for hours of questions.
    Any questions will be taken back to their team.
    Multinational brands do that a lot. Just enough expert staff in the USA to comply and win contracts.
    They don't need or want low or mid level US staff if most of the work can be done outside the USA and then sold back into the USA for US wages.

    Then talk to the vocational education people and churn more useful low wage tech people out.
    No need to pay university wages to people who have only done vocational courses.

  9. Re:Ban on backdoors? on European Parliament Committee Endorses End-To-End Encryption (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Think of having to share a private NVR/DVR CCTV with the gov. The gov will access and watch the cameras on private property too.
    With encryption the two people using the product will be protected, just the gov will get the text/voice/files/details too.

    AC it can work both ways. The encryption can be usable to keep out a third party but the gov/mil will get a trapdoor, backdoor and frontdoor to any encryption it detects.

    Re "Conversely, in order to comply simultaneously with this regulation and hate speech and libel laws, wouldn't web sites have to require more identification and authentication?"
    Long term the idea is for photo id to access the useful parts of the internet, like when buying any modem, cell phone, ISP account.
    That account will then be linked to a person who has registered with photo ID and is then responsible for all search terms, sites visited, comments made by their IP/account.
    Encryption will work but be weak and fully open to any EU gov, NATO, the USA.
    Every conversation in the EU will lack anonymity and privacy.
    Anonymity will be lost to mil grade tracking and ID laws.
    Privacy will be between a government and the people who once expected privacy as they had selected encryption.

    Encryption sold by big brands will be open to any government. Anyone making or offering they own encryption will have to register and hand over access to a gov or be discovered and face investigations.

    When international ads, funding and support pulls out.

    Their ads and movies trailers/reviews get special consideration by SJW.

    Talk to university and vocational education staff around the USA. Tell them what you need.
    Ensure they have the software and tools that are needed over the short courses to allow students in the USA to transition to the workforce.

    People outside the USA will have no loyalty to the USA and only work for money or to help their faith/cult/own government.
    Thats not good for US security.
    Its very hard to find out what some foreigner did in their own nation for years. What complex issues do they bring to your company?
    Help get US education to a good standard so US students can find work. Or get further education to keep their skills up.

  17. Each generation of spy satellite is created for its own mission.
    As every other nation learns what existing US spy satellite can do, the next US generation of spy satellites is hand crafted with much better tech.
    Always better, always newer.
    Some are difficult to see from earth, some are smaller, some are big and can move around a lot more than expected.
