The helicopter blades disintegrated because they flew into the cables of a crane next to the reactor, as the show correctly shows, if you paid attention. The only inaccuracy there is the fact that the incident took place much later, during the building of the sarcophagus, for which that the crane was erected in the first place.

Lyudmila Ignatenko is a real person who really lost her husband and daughter this way.

I'm a dude who's working in Oracle, with colleagues Alice and Bob, for same $50/hour.

Bob and Alice both work 8-5

I don't have kids or anything better to do in my life most of the time, so I work 8-9

Because I work more, I get paid more.

Oracle pays me $500/day while Alice and Bob get $400/day.

That means men in Oracle, on average, get paid 10% more.

What options does Oracle then have?

1) not pay me for the extra work

2) pay Alice 10% per hour for the same work

3) pay Bob 20% LESS for the same work

4) tell the feminazis to go fuck themselves, because a job at Oracle is not a right, and they can hire whoever they want for whatever salary they can.

Equal pay between genders is at best nice-to-have, but should never be a thing to punish actual merit and value creation, let alone create useless government jobs for woke comissars to hound after productive people and companies telling them what to do.

Discrediting social media as a whole, while promoting controlled, corporate media as the only valid source of information.

I believe that flat earth is an obvious conspiracy theory, which is conciously propagated by government agents. With the goal of discrediting social media as a whole as a valid source of information. Traditionally, the governments have controlled public opinion through the media, but few people consume the traditional media these days. Flat earth theories are a convenient and obvious falsehood which they can point at in order to ridicule and delegitimize all of social media, and quite truthful inconvenient information it can spread.

It's scary and dangerous for journalists because it's something that can significantly reduce demand for their jobs.

Let me blow your mind for a second.

The biggest voice by far in pushing "incel killers going to shoot up the premiere" narratives was CNN.

The "Joker" movie was produced, owned and marketed by Time Warner.

At the same time, Time Warner OWNS CNN!

While there have been many movies, e.g. Captain Marvel, that first ragebait and then market themselves as "evil white male incels don't want you to see this movie, therefore go see it just to show them".... the Joker movie is, really, the first example of the same type of marketing, by the same studios, except in reverse.

> Actually, on paper it is indeed fantastic! As his end goal for society Marx doesn't propose anything really different from the classic ideal held by most philosophers of old, such as Aristotle: a world in which the citizens are free from the need to work boatloads of hours per day and have lots and lots of free time to pursue the higher aspirations of the spirit. Aristotle called this "eudaimonia" (good living). Marx called it "disalienation". But both are pretty much the same.

We call this "college".

It's not just about demonetisation -- which by the way is a very serious deal, as they're taking away someone's livelihood for vague and nebulous reasons. It's not just about Youtube not sending notifications for channels they don't like. It's not just about abrupt and permanent takedowns of channels with zero strikes, either, i.e. Youtube not following their own rules.

Lately there's also been incredibly explicit censorship in search results. Wherein searching directly for popular videos and channels with millions of views and subscribers, e.g. "Steven Crowder Change My Mind", are [in selected territories, not everywhere!] buried on N-th page of search results, in favor of content that may only have a few hundred views. Both on Youtube, and Google.

The Chernobyl accident happened, and it was as bad as portrayed. Some of the things are dramatised: the helicopter crashed much later during the construction of the sarcophagus, the steam explosion wouldn't cause megaton scale explosion but merely comparable pollution, many of Legasov's colleagues were condensed into one magical woman, etc. Most of the series though is quite accurate.

The timing could be construed as anti-nuclear propaganda, but honestly, I don't think that's what they were going for at all. On the contrary, the show underlines just how badly people had to deliberately screw up in order for this kind of accident to occur. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if this instead relieves the fears of people who might thus far think something like this could accidentally happen with any NPP.

In other words, Google would have exclusive access to data of e.g. journalists, activists, business leaders, and political campaign teams.

This would be more acceptable if accompanied by the respective *right* of verified non-bots to express their opinions, political or otherwise, without censorship or harassment, government or corporate. Anonymity and "bots" as they are also serve as means to circumvent undemocratic censorship. Getting rid of them would give an undue power to the entities at the helm to control public opinion.

Nuclear and geothermal energy don't.

BitTorrent uses SHA-1 to validate the integrity of each chunk of downloaded data.

If finding chosen SHA-1 collisions becomes cheap, then it becomes possible for a malicious peer to inject malware into data it uploads, while still having it be recognised by downloader as valid according to the .torrent file. We're still a long way from there, but that's the risk.
