That's too bad. Out of the other $1T US companies (Apple, Amazon, Microsoft) Google seems by far the most user hostile. I would say Microsoft once held this position but lost their edge to be truly damaging. On the other hand Google: *

We’re talking about people invited to his island and people he invested in. Not random members of the public. It’s all in the MIT report. They knew everything about him yet continued to work and socialize with him.

No one made that argument. I said: > Not everyone who went there is guilty, but given everything we now know it's not unfair to question their presence in Epstein's orbit. That's it. I'd also argue that 1. doesn'

That's just one small example. The other big one is that he had underage girls around him all the time. That makes him a pedophile.

We don't know what Epstein and his backers were after. Maybe Seth Lloyd had influence over someone or some other leverage they wanted. It definitely warrants further investigation though.

There's evidence of people being aware of Epstein's predilections. He was hardly secretive about it: https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2019/08/jeffrey-ep... > There were lavish dinner par

Epstein was most likely backed by Israel, so you should ask what they would want with quantum computing.

You're correct about this but sadly getting downvoted. People have a hard time processing that their heroes very likely knew about Epstein's activities and at the very least looked the other way (some definitely participated thems

This wasn't a "few decades ago" it was 2015. The standards for professional events have not changed since then.

Because it was supposed to be a professional event and that's not even remotely professional? There's a second hand account in this thread by someone who knows people who went to the island and were propositioned for sex there. It

Did any of the people you know regret going there? I know I would be able to do it. Even if they didn't participate, I would think being in an environment like that would make most people really uncomfortable.

There were definitely young women around when Hawking was there. I don't know if they were underage, but it I don't think it's safe to say Hawking knew nothing. By all accounts the island was full of girls and decorated with

You're going to have to put the (many) pieces together yourself. The people who would normally be responsible for doing this (the media, the government) are the same people working to suppress the story. And yes, there is plenty of evi

Honestly I wouldn’t recommend Patlabor to someone who only likes the GITS movie and Cowboy Bebop. It’s going to feel too slow and cheezy (in a way many anime fans including myself enjoy). I’d probably suggest Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) or

Just a nit pick but the original Japanese version isn’t a dub, it’s the original audio. I totally agree it’s the best version though. That being said the English dub is pretty good too.
