Maybe they have detected themselves

There should be a penalty to the bank for such mistakes. A % of the amount should be OK.

Just electrify the line the normal way with catenary.

Use hybrid electric/diesel train set, whic alredy exist.

On the main line use the electricity provided by the catenary. Ouside the main line, which are not electrified use the diesel.

If Apple can determine, by any means, what my encrypted data contains, then their encryption is too weak.

Or it is no encryption at all as I understand it.

Therefore it is unstrusted and unsafe. Better not used it at all.

We just need power dense and climate neutral energy sources.

This means, among others, nuclear.

Less foot print, less and shorter power lines.

Get fusion working. Or get efficient fission working.

Solar and wind are a inefficient, and a waste of resources and Footprint.

"" Uber sold their China business to DiDi because Uber couldn't compete with them and were tired of losing money as they fought for market share.""
"They were not allowed to compete would be more precise. There are two different set of rules in China, the one for foreigners and the one for locals"

Or better said, the rules apply only for foreigners but not for locals (at discretion of the local official in charge )

"How is DiDi an Uber clone when Uber doesn't operate in China anymore?"
Non sequitur argument: an invalid argument whose conclusion is not supported by its premises

If the virus really leaked from a the Lab, then we would know the origin of the Virus. Having that Information would have been a great advantage for the Chinese to develop vaccine and pin point the point of origin. They would be the first to come up with hat information. But that was not the case. This lab story if more conspiracy politics than anything else. It is stupid from the ground up. Most probably the virus made the jump from bat to human (with any intermediate step) somewhere else. My suspicion is the trading of wild animals, which was promoted as a way for providing additional income to small villages/farmers. Very bad news for that people who now have that income stream blocked.

Just make litter biodegradable. Actually that is why it is natural for all animals to litter (humans include). One organism litter is other organisms resource. Are fallen leaves collected in the forest? Or fallen trees? Or the skin of reptiles when the change skin? etc... The problem is that we are producing litter with substances that is not readily usable to other organism. Littering is a natural behavior, we just need to change what our litter is made off.

Each time I visit the US I come back with a new phone... or laptop... or tablet.

And the next step is to vet entry to people carrying no phones, tablets or laptops. Highly suspicious....

I think a skunk phone could be a good idea. It would spray fetid liquid if tampered with. You could even have a special password that when entered by the wrong person triggers the fetid spray.

There are some tunnels at the Mexican US border......

Last time I had to land in the US I got fingerprinted and photographed, just to change from international flight to an American airline flight which was not even bound to an US airport. And this was more than a decade ago. Since then I avoid any landing in US territory and any airline with flights using American Airlines as connection flight. I still remember the face of the customs officer. He looked to be so proud of protecting his country borders... from passengers in transit to an US outbound flight! That was a waste of resources and a way to pishing off people perception of US Curiously now I fly mostly in non American airplanes, but that is unintentional.

Just go for International Atomic. No leap seconds anymore. Then we have a real time.
