Yes, exactly this! Each of those facts are by now so well supported, its shocking anybody takes the "Russia did it" line seriously.

"room full of innocent politicians" - wow, bootlicker of the year.

Exactly, 1000 times this.

Nope, none of this supports electric universe bullshit.

The job a decent justice system is retribution, to inflict suffering on bad people.

No, of course she is not dangerous. But what an insane question, all that matters is "did she do it?" and "can she be made to suffer?"

In many ways this a brilliant move by Andreessen Horowitz, a VC firm; invent a new bullshit tech area, hype it like crazy, rebrand your badly performing investments as pioneering web3 companies (keeping the definition of web3 vague let's you stuff loads of companies into this box) and then offload the companies to dupes. With enough hype created about web3 one might even become a unicorn.

Wow, the Wikipedia page completely fails to define it. Isn't this just a marketing campaign for more crypto being pushed as some sort of technology vision. And oh, we liked that idea from the show Sillicon Valley where the Web infrastructure is distributed let's throw that in too.

Web4 will be quantum buzzwords.

The US military is more dependent and has more extensive space capabilities than any other force. Denying the US their capabilities, even at the expense of your own, is just plain sensible.

Here is a particularly well written takedown of Arp: https://dealingwithcreationism... While I think at first Arp made an honest mistake driven by limitations of equipment at the time, over time his response to very justified criticism was to retreat into crank territory. To take Arp seriously today, given how much the data has improved and the clear mistakes in his work, is insane

It's a beautiful vision, but I would want to see more torture of the rich.

Agreed, fuck religious scum and their delusions.

The US GPS system features a second encrypted signal that is also more resistant to jamming. Its that capability that other nations want. You never know when USA decides they want to murder your citizens.

There simply is not a physical mechanism for people to anything but deterministic with any stochastic processes being beyond our influence.

This lays out the argument pretty well: http://backreaction.blogspot.c...

"There are only two types of fundamental laws that appear in contemporary theories. One type is deterministic, which means that the past entirely predicts the future. There is no free will in such a fundamental law because there is no freedom. The other type of law we know appears in quantum mechanics and has an indeterministic component which is random. This randomness cannot be influenced by anything, and in particular it cannot be influenced by you, whatever you think “you” are. There is no free will in such a fundamental law because there is no “will” – there is just some randomness sprinkled over the determinism. "
