Yes, local politicians want $$, and they disguise the grab under various frauds, like prison telephone in the USA(recently down regulated) has a similar corrupt cadre.

Basically, lack of IP protection = no patent or copyright. Now our patent length is OK, but copyright is far too long. In old Rome, if you made a new process, you locked up the shop and kept it secret. Anyone steal the secret and you could

In Norway, they use a high ~~8% feed from natural gas. Extracting from the atmosphere will ~~100 times as costly and I think these atmospheric capture ones are scams. The exception is the making of liquid oxygen from the air for steel produ

How are the students quantified? How are knowledge and skills tested? Online cheating on tests is rampant. In my years tested people were 6 feet in rows from each other and zero e-devices were around(1964) - crib sheets were it and were wat

It was a national shame of the type that undermined and destroyed the USSR, and Putin and his ilk have robbed Russia and covered up a deep social culture of theft and corruption. You know, of course, that the invasion column sent to occupy

There are many facets to teaching, the explanation of an aspect, to query students to assess how they understand that aspect. This can be spot tests where one aspect is asked what is it etc, often in a short interval in the last few minutes

There is a continuum of cheating, spot responses as a quizzed student is sent an SMS answer and tries to see it without being spotted. At the other extreme is the formalised exam/test where a similar set of opposed data/cheats ar

It looks like the battery improvements are creating a 'wait and see' anticipation. There is also the realisation that the initial demand to reach 350-500 miles to avoid range anxiety was in error. A perfectly good car with 200 mil

You speak of worker's rights, and you use the term 'won' - this implies there is a loser(s) and this harkens back to the slavery of yore, people unpaid and later minimally paid. I recall Ford paid wages that the other car mak
