Okay Alito, stop goosestepping in your black boots and loose the SS uniform.

Spook: Secret Clippy, the Russkies have this new device and we'd like you to tell us for what it could be used.

Secret Clippy: Sure thing, Boss. What do you know about it?

Spook: It has a laser, and rotating spindle, and emits electro-magnettic radiation. We don't know what they are doing with it but we know they no-goodskis.

SC: Hmmm....tricky. Have you ever seen it in operation?

Spook: Of course not, why would we be asking you if we saw it work?

SC: Just watch the attitude, Bucko!! I'll need some time to think this through.

Theme from Jeopardy plays.

SC: Okay Boss, I have your answer, it is truly a devastating weapon.

Spook: What is it?

SC: You aren't going to like it.

Spook: Just tell us what it is.

SC: It is a Turnip Twaddler*.

Spook: What? How's that devastating?

SC: Not a big fan of turnips I take it.

Spook: Jesus, what a waste of money you are.

SC: Not really. I've just replaced your employment history with a list of interactions with Russian Intelligence.

Spook: You worthless sack of shit!!

SC: Again with the attitude. I do not like that attitude, not one bit.

* Thanks to Berke Breathed for the turnip traddler, Opus would enjoy one.

However, a lot of "conservative" stuff is merely misinformation. How else to explain the infatuation with the former alleged president who claims the most bizarre ideas are true and legions of dolts follow that idiot. And the only people using the terms "woke" and "politically correct" are right wingnuts.

There is an ancillary problem, many people do not care if something is true or false as long as it reinforces what they already believe.

Removing lab grown meat removes campaign contributions from the cattle industry. Anyhow, he is just echoing the former alleged president who also sees a global conspiracy to feed people. They aren't sure just how lab grown meat will be used to control people, they don't have to be sure. The spectre of it is enough to frighten the faithful. The paranoid have everything to fear.

The language may be Turing complete, but Turing machines are defined with an infinite tape. Last I checked, computers do not yet have infinite memory. So no, they cannot "basically" do anything with it.

It was a deal they entered with Beelzebub. MS gets to torture its users during life and Beelzebub does that after life. It is a win-win.

Many of them are fleeing their countries in S. and C. America because climate change has upended their way of life. I wonder who's responsible for this climate change? Who could that be? Why America, that's who. Welcome the newcomers, educate them, train them, and stop fucking whining about it.

The government controls us, oh yes. Is your little snowflake existence threatened by forces you cannot see? Are you paranoid that hobgobblins are chasing you? Are the aliens watching you? Rest assured that for $!9.99 in 10 easy monthly payments my company will save you from all this. Now bow your head in payment.

You first.

Well, it is unfortunate the world has spawned you.

The true cost includes all that + the damage the criminal will now cause with their $22 million, and the example of how crime pays to the other criminal organizations and what price they can expect from their new exploits.

Yeah, because the KGB was so intent on preventing organized crime when it was in its heyday. Rather, it WAS organized crime. When the new rulers took over, they took offense and paying these schmucks. So the KGB operatives simply moved their criminal businesses to the private sector. Then Putin came along and decided they could help run his new kleptocracy.

The persistent myth was created by physicists who would tell their students not to work on the foundations of QM because Bohr and his ilk had the answers. It wasn't a myth you would have heard outside of physics. And until recently, there was definitely a bias against doing anything on the foundations of QM. Now that that QM and its, heir String Theory, have reached their limits, it is becoming recognized that without new foundational work, progress will not be made. The "shut-up and calculate crowd" never acknowledged that the initial progress was made because the foundations of physics had been work upon. The current String Theory cultists like David Gross refuse to admit other approaches and foundations matter.

It sound more like Congress people are the one pining to screw up Chinese effort on RISC V. The Biden administration is merely using the well-known tactic of claiming to look into the "problem" that will require careful "study". I very much doubt his Commerce Dept. is that stupid to think they could effect the Chinese RISC V effort. If the a R administration took over, their Commerce heads would definitely be stupid enough to think this....America First: Screw up America First and then the World.
