The idea is that "dark money" networks don't necessarily identify who is putting up the money. If any part of the org deliberately obscures who put up the money or who gets the money, then there is a potential problem. Reread the summary at the very least, maybe it'll make more sense in that light.

Apparently Sixteen Thirty is less interested in shielding the identities of its donors and more interested in hiding who actually gets the money. Did you suspect that George Soros is involved with this group? If you did, congrats, he is.

What if it's partially a front for hostile foreign actors? Not saying it is (it probably isn't, at least not yet, and hopefully never will be), but that is apparently what is oficially under investigation. Or to put it differently, imagine if RT started buying up small and midmarket TV and radio stations and started using them to push Russian state propaganda. Would you expect Congress to investigate that?

Men who demonstrate violent behavior have likely violated several laws and should be brought up on charges. That creates a legal record of poor behavior. No man should be tracked by an app or any other mechanism to encourage vigilantism unless there is a papertrail of legal proof that the man in question is indeed violent. Anything else risks libel.

Not really true. Don't be fooled by marketing.

Intel 7 is a rebrand of 10 Enhanced SuperFin (10ESF). That is a node that is a refinement of their tragically-failed 10nm node. 10nm nodes included 10nm, 10nm+, 10SF, and 10ESF. Intel renamed 10ESF to Intel 7 without changing anything in hopes that no one would notice.

They also renamed their 7nm node to Intel 4. Intel 3 is a refinement of 4.

It's just a name. It doesn't necessarily mean that 14a has any transistor dimensions measuring exactly 14 angstroms. Most node names have been marketing for awhile.

Also your 3960X is on N7 which was definitely not a 7nm node, despite the name.

You'll have to do some digging to find actual transistor density figures for N7 and more-recent nodes to get an idea of how dense they're getting relative to N7.
