Especially for interpol I imagine they could write the rules so they only need a warrant from one country.
I'm sure the USA would have no problem handing over encryption keys for an Iranian or Chinese warrant. Just like they would have no problem with chinese intelligence agency having a backdoor to the president's iPhone
Speed record for a rocket powered train is 6400 mph so London to Edinburgh in 5mins
Of course this was unmanned so might have some union difficulties
And you might not be able to stop before Aberdeen.
But the idea of building effectively a hypersonic railgun pointed at Edinburgh and London might appeal to both parliaments
No BSE, no parasites, no salmonella, no antibiotics, no accidental incorporating condemned horse meat
It may be missing some trace vitamins and minerals, but I'm not eating "artificial" meat for safety might start to look a bit anti-vax
The beyond-meat (veggie burgers that bleed) aren't bad. If you're veggie they aren't as good as best veggie burgers. But if you eat meat they are at last as good as the worst fast-food burgers
With a bit more work and a bit cheaper they will easily replace meat in fast food.
They can be made months in advance, shipped from wherever in the world is cheapest, don't need refrigeration or careful handling, almost no risk of food poisoning, no religious objections.
I don't see the same advantages for vat grown "real" meat.
Vat grown fish would be incredible though. If you could make Sushi grade fish, guaranteed fresh and no worms, without destroying ocean stocks
>Who says? First I've heard of it. Honestly, where do you lot get your information, anyway?
The Anti-Defamation League the major US authority on hate crimes
Anti-defamation League Hate Symbols Database
(or a bunch of zionist reactionaries if you are a Labour MP)
How do you prove the truth of any forward looking statement?
"Get Brexit Done. Unleash Britain's Potential"
"Leading the Fight for Climate Action, a People's Vote, a Fair Society for All"
"It's Time for Real Change"
"Stop Brexit. Build a Brighter Future"
"Change Politics for Good"
"Time To Get On With Brexit!"
"It's Time to Choose Our Own Future
Perhaps the only one which is possibly true, Plaid Cymru's "Wales, It's Us"
>No, they don't. Look at the attempts to kill the agency to protect customers created after the crisis of 2008.
Look at all the mergers and takeovers of smaller regional banks since those laws were introduced
Don't take my word for it, ask the fed Bank Consolidation and Merger Activity Following the Crisis
Remember Facebook doesn't have to check the content of each post, it just has to prove that it followed the rules in Law3.1.4.159.2654 and it's competitors didn't
>I know this will kill Facebook ...
It will be great for Facebook - it's the classic "bootleggers and baptists" economics. The reason big banks like more financial regulations.
A new law requires you to have a legal compliance process if you accept customer posts.
This expands to you having to have a compliance officer in each state, who is certified by that state.
For Facebook to have a few hundred extra staff to do this = pocket change
What about el'reg, reddit, your local school/sports club web forum?
The only organisation able to afford this will be Facebook, your only legal choice will be to have them host your group
Which was the reason for the original law.
In the USA you can sue anyone however tenuous the relationship - the lawyers follow the money.
With no case law in the early days of the internet there would be lots of lawsuits going after IBM and Microsoft whenever anyone fell for an email scam.
The classic example was a parent who accidentally backed out of their driveway over their own child
With no insurance and medical bills to pay they sued - the makers of the kid's jeans for not being visible
These satelites aren't going to bother visible astronomy
Space is, as the prophet said, big.
So the solid angle blocked by one of these satelites is like a midge flying across your telescope a mile away. They are in such a low orbit they are only going to be lit up by the sun very close to sunrise/set
They are more of an annoyance to radio astronomer, blanketing the whole sky in Ku and cat pictures - but realistically doing radio astronomy from Earth in any band useful for mobile data is too late
>Very large and self-assured, moose are.
They weigh the best part of a ton, are 12ft tall and their only predator are Orcas (seriously - moose swim between arctic islands and are eaten by killer whales)
Frankly their attitude to a fiat 500 is entirely appropriate
>The only safe course is to seriously slow down when you see a moose anywhere near the road.
Same here with deer, the problem is that their strategy to escape wolves is to suddenly switch direction across the path of the pursuer because they can turn faster.
We would have to train self-driving cars to be smarter predators than wolves - which might not have a happy ending
