There is no issue with stuff (quantum information) falling in a black hole and forever being inaccessible to the rest of the Universe. The paradox comes about as a direct result of an analyses of Hawking's original paper predicting that Hawking's radiation is purely thermal and has no knowledge of the black-hole's quantum state (Often referred to as the no hair theorem.) Recent work on correlation's between Hawking's radiation and black-hole entanglement entropy pokes holes in the validity of the theorem but more work remains before it can conclusively be overturned.

The price of what are the Union's uniteriarlly colluding to set in order to fall under the Sherman act?

BYD is heavily subsidized by China, anyone can price something competitively by loosing money on it.

That's not part of their sample-collecting mission, China's main goal for the mission is to do something no other nation has done before, not to get the best science they can out of it.

Simply landing in a interesting site is not enough. The Chinese lander only has a robotic arm that extends a few feet. It would quite literally have to land right on top of an exposed sedimentary rock to have something really worth collecting, as for ice deposits the real interesting samples would have to come from some 30 feet below the polar ice caps

Robots are great for exploring but when it comes to carefully analyzing samples the size, weight and power requirements make most instruments rudimentary compared to the capabilities we have on earth.

The Chinese mission will be a "grab and go" wherever it ends up landing. Considering that the real interest is to bring back samples that might provide evidence of past life, the odds that the Chinese mission will get extraordinary luck and hit the jackpot are very low. Perseverance has spent years and traveled over 15 miles carefully selecting sites and targets for the best samples.

The Climate has likely, already increased 1.5C from pre-industrial levels. Despite all the supposed efforts Global CO2 emissions are still actually going up. In a loose-loose proposition what remains to be figured out is if the negative effects of various Geoengineering approaches are less or more severe than the effects of Climate Change and how do they stack up against each-other. Waiting until the Climate is severely impacted by AGW and then launching a large Geoengineering project in a panic, with little idea of its negative effects is the riskiest option of all.

The stock market and most of the banking industry is in NY. NY is the Financial capital of the world, that's what it specializes in. Unfortunately the rules set-up to foster the Financial Industry are detrimental to start-ups (eg: NY has some of the weakest bankruptcy protections in the Country, non-competes are pretty much standard practice) Of course the rules California has to foster start-ups make it unappealing to some sectors. As the saying goes. You can't have the cake and eat it too.

Tech bros tend to be Progressive Liberals, the abortion ban puts a bright spotlight on the fact that they would be moving to a State dominated by Ultra Conservatives who's ideology and policies they really abhore.

About 60% of U.S electricity is generated from fossil fuels so according to that logic electric cars are just green-washing fossil fuels as well. You can make hydrogen thru electrolysis (which is the long term plan) but currently you would be mostly just converting fossil-fuels to electricity and then to hydrogen, which is less efficient then more direct methods.

No a socialist welfare state. Communism is a system where production is owned and controlled by the state.

Of course no system is pure something or other. In the old Communist states everyone was given a job by the government and you were at least expected to show up for it, pure welfare as we understand it was rare. The United States does have welfare abit less then what we call the Socialist European Countries. European Socialist countries on their part own major parts of a number of companies (AirBus comes to mind).

The general toughs the cops have on bicyclist is that well they are only risking their own necks, why bother. Truth is that bicyclist do cause serious injuries and even deaths when striking pedestrians.

The amount of meat in diets might have been the same or higher but there are huge differences in what was used and how it was raised. The meat used was largely pigs and goats (great generalist foragers which are even beneficial to pastures). chickens sheep and cows were only slaughtered after egg/milk producing ran low. Old farm animals like horses and donkeys were also slaughtered. A good chunk of it was also what we would now call "bush meat". Another big difference was that human grade grains were not used as feed.

Nowdays there has been a huge increase in cow production (one of the worst animals when it comes to feed/yield ratio), we also raise these animals including sheep and chickens simply for meat instead of using them up for milk/egg production. The biggest problem thou is that we use human rated grains to raise these animals.
