Editors have biases. The best we can do is shine a spotlight on them. People are opposed to this, of course. No one likes to be reminded of how they're limited - and people get really nasty when you accuse them of being a dishonest int

There already is a separate wikipedia article about the specific program. It is an extensive article. If you look up "Stargate CIA" in any search engine you'll find it easily. There is a large amount of data on this topic. Li

The remote viewing article keeps being reverted as pseudoscientific when original research conducted by the CIA is cited. Such citations are removed swiftly. Any changes are denied or rolled back. The rationale is that, even though the docu

From the article you posted, blocking still stops people from communicating with you. The only difference with how it is now is they can still view your posts. I don't have a dog in this fight (don't have Twitter) but this seems l

Many artists (and normal people) publish their works there: from anime girls to short story updates on royal road.

I'm about to do what you just asked people not to do. Perhaps, we're so used to dishonest interlocutors online that we search for intentions in people's statements? Sorry, I had to.

Congress should not be allowed to change any of their positions (besides mutual fund backed retirement accounts, 401ks, etc) while in office. But they'll never vote for this. I guess the best thing you can do, individually, is watch Na

It's wild to me that the DHS account was created in Tel Aviv. Several American nationalists are Indian. It's absolutely nuts.

Imprisoned, beaten with foam pool noodles, and pelted with whipped cream pies. Treated like the clowns they were behaving as.

Never thought of it that way. I like the positive framing. Oftentimes I worry about industrial pollution, unsafe and unfair working conditions, and a loss of relevance in high technology. But in this case, the factories are not widely staff

Interestig, so you could say that the European and American governments share blame in this development. A shame.

Could you elaborate why an executive having sensitive conversations with a governor is corrupt? I'm having difficulty understanding this outlook. My industry has historically been extremely corrupt. This is why rules were defined for r

Personally, I define it as corruption when quid pro quo occurs, nice gifts, expensive dinners, etc. In government work, in my field specifically, it's the inappropriate transfer of money (gifts, deals, dinners) that's reportable.

That's simply not true, many HAMs in remote areas join to learn how to operate radio equipment and assist crisis responders - especially in the northern frontier states. There's a big appeal in my community - but we might not be t

Frankly, the reason China is the last man standing on solar was their aggressive subsidy in the 2010s. Killed all of the American and European manufacturers, then the subsidy ended and they were the last man standing. The other things you a

They're normal people - some of them good and some of them bad - some bright and some dim. I'm not trying to be mean when I say this: don't kid yourself into thinking you're in a club with the cream of the crop, anywhere

Same reason communities still maintain HAM radio clubs and rely on them for emergency communications in a grid down situation - it's an interesting (though expensive) hobby that has some merit for isolated communities.

Normally, yes. In the case where you don't expect a response, you can still rely on the rudimentary error checking of TCP (checksum and sequence numbers) to detect when damaged or dropped - but this smells like a custom implementation

Some equipment is drop in - hooking up an audio output to a keyed radio is only occasionally difficult. You see a lot of these solutions in the HAM radio space. The actual radio equipment is a tad more sophisticated - and in poor areas (whe

You really have to ask the question "does all industrial production aid itself to war?" when making this determination. Additionally, most people don't consider the Mexico factor. Presently some of the most talented machinist

I don't understand, can you explain why high interest rates will help economic development in the USA in light of its staggering held debt? I'm not an economist, I don't understand how this works.

Conversely, if you've never worked in a factory or a shipyard, I don't want to hear your opinion on excessive safety regulations. I've seen OSHA violations of such severity, of such imminent danger, you couldn't get a ta

Since we're making ethnocentric assumptions and making comparisons between the USA and India, perhaps our building standards encourage safe public infrastructure? Perhaps if India was more like the USA, safe road travel would improve -

I know contractors travel for work, but flying in? Wouldn't the cost for shipping all the contractor boxes, renting living quarters, local food, and aircraft fare rapidly eat into the savings? Not to mention the downward pressure on wa

Depends on your metrics of "dominant country" tbh. In terms of GDP the US is leading. In terms of purchasing power parity China is leading. In terms of military prowess the US is superior, if you believe their advertised weapons c
