Also interesting to see the breakdown of usage of the Citi bikes. Does increased usage of Citi bikes lead more casual users who don't wear helmets?

Bill Belichick in his episode of a Football Life lived with the clock being wrong in his car because he simply couldn't change it[0]. I'd argue that all this currently shows is that the system was not worth the time for BB to get

Yep, one would expect a quick consult of incoterms on the b/l would quickly clear up ownership per container.

Ports are reluctant to let the vessels unload as creditors would impound the vessels tying up valuable mooring space.

Nope the shipping company issues a bill of lading as the goods are received for shipping that sets out who owns the container.

If this sort of thing interests you, I can recommend [Max Hastings: The Secret War] ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-War-Max-Hastings/dp/00075039... )

I think emphasis in that was meant on 'experts', pointing out that self proclaimed experts may not necessarily be considered experts by their peers.

How much oversight/transparency do we think we will see over the presumed coming trials of the 6000 arrested following the failed coup?

It is such a strange argument from the EU. The strongest form of Tall Poppy syndrome.

I do use the search bar in Safari, and have it set to Google, but honestly I can't remember if I was prompted to set the default.

The difference with IE was that users were at a disadvantage to install alternative browsers over slow connections. Access to Google is exactly the same as access to Bing from the address bar.

It strikes me that once we get to a point of autonomous driving why won't law enforcement be autonomous, a network of sensors along our road network that receive pings from all passing vehicles. Anything that causes your vehicle to dev

So both kill demand as well as supply to eradicate the market? If they were looking for an extreme response why not have the government take a monopoly supplier position, nationalise the army to take over the production?

It isn't a case of there being regulation for the sake of it, but rather that the regulation has come into existence off the back of decades of what customers have expected from their produce. This is not about protectionism for produc
