Shhhh... They're still basking in the warm glow of having come up with something as clever as "EUSSR".

I'm sure that I'm forgetting some, but:

The Crisis of the Third Century (235-284 AD): Europe is finished
The Fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 AD): Europe is finished
The Plague of Justinian (541-542 AD): Europe is finished
The Viking, Magyar, and Saracen Invasions (8th-10th Centuries): Europe is finished
The Black Death (1347-1351): Europe is finished
The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648): Europe is finished
The Napoleonic Wars (1812-1815): Europe is finished
World War I and the 1918 Flu Pandemic (1914-1918): Europe is finished
World War II (1939-1945): Europe is finished

But this time, like, "for real" you mean?

"Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News"
—The White House, June 25, 2025

So, their nuclear facilities were obliterated more than 9 months before the current conflict according to sources that you would undoubtedly characterize as reliable.
Stop spreading fake news.

Exactly the kind of bigoted thinking that will lead to a bunch of surprised Pikachu faces when the US finally gets back to the moon only to find a Chinese lunar base with a big ol' fence around it.

Exactly this. This is the pretext to send an additional couple of billions in contracts to SpaceX, which he always had close relations with.
Not to mention that Isaacson's company has a significant stake in SpaceX, so pumping up the valuation of SpaceX before it goes public is entirely in his best interest.

Basic arthritic? Yup, I'm the dumb one.
Both companies are deep in the red buddy. It's not a matter of opinion.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here, although the Barack "Hussein" Obama dog whistle in your previous comment does provide a hint.

The original CISA DOMino contract was awarded to Raytheon back in 2017, under the Trump administration.
(Granted, this was following a 2 year legal battle, and Raytheon had originally been selected by the Obama administration in 2015.)
Raytheon later spun out its cybersecurity division into Nightwing, which took the DOMino contract with it.

In 2024, the Biden administration wanted to replace the DOMino contract with the ACTS contract, which was awarded to Leidos.
One day (!) after Trump took office in 2025, Nightwing sued, arguing that the contract was unfairly awarded to Leidos.
In May of 2025, Trump's DHS and CISA (facing massive budget cuts) pulled the plug on the ACTS contract altogether, leaving Nightwing and its secret leaking contractors in place.

That's as far as my research took me. Interested in hearing your take.

That's right.
Just find the 5 settings you need to change.
Update some values in your registry.
Execute one or two totally safe binaries that you downloaded from a Belarusian site.
Don't forget to reboot after each step!
Be a real user!

Because... it's not. Revenue is not profit, and neither OpenAI nor Anthropic are turning a profit at this point. They're burning billions on infrastructure and compute power to keep training the next frontier model. And they have to keep doing that for the foreseeable future because they're not only competing against each other, but also against open source models (already surprisingly capable), Chinese models (ditto), and so on.

Difficult task for the jury.

Question of fact: "Which of these two self-serving bastards is a lying snake?"
Verdict: "Yes."

No need to sigh buddy. It's OK to admit that you haven't thought things through.

You categorically stated that "if you use the public's tax money to make something, the public have rights to the IP of that thing", and now you need to start splitting hairs because your position is untenable.

For the record, CERN is its own separate legal entity, and is not wholly funded by European taxpayer money.

So, if SpaceX is awarded a US government contract, and they use that money to design a rocket, every American taxpayer should be able to get their hands on that design?

OK, now go to Google Maps and check the location of the Mauna Loa Observatory where the measurements were taken. Idiot.

That PhD-educated biology teacher would do well to talk to a linguist with knowledge of Proto-Indo-European roots and their respective Greek and Latin derivatives.

At least 15 countries in that list have a standard of living that is considerably higher than the US, Russia, India or China.
