Thus far we've never heard of a leak in Google's entire existence

Yeah, only yesterday, right? https://www.bbc.com/news/techn...

There is plenty of evidence.

Sounds like a crude, reverse-engineered Starlite.. White paint's got nothing on this seemingly revolutionary product... what a history of what never became.

Note: I just became aware of this chemical marvel via a recent /. post remembering its history. Here's the BBC video that's referenced in the synopsis.

https://www.bbc.com/reel/video...

They're not looking to hide produced power. They're just looking to hide the fact that they're being made, as to help with negotiations. This isn't really news, as China operates like this on many fronts. They weren't straight up hiding what they were doing on the man made islands in South China Sea, a much more controversial and contested area. They just looked for plausible deniability for as long as there was some chance that this could go the other way.

Same goes for coal plants being built. While they're being built, people like you and your activist allies you cite on completely unvetted op-ed section of forbes will provide ideological and propagandistic protection for them.

Btw, here's BBC link, since you appear to be unaware about it, which I find highly doubtful if you have any awareness of the subject, as it brought up quite a stink and self-doubt in circles you claim to be your own:

BBC interview:
Linus Torvalds: 'I'll never be cuddly but I can be more polite'

        "So that's my excuse for dismissing a lot of the politically correct concerns for years. I felt it wasn't worth it. Anybody who uses the words 'white cis male privilege' was simply not worth my time even talking to, I felt."

        "And I'm still not apologising for my gender or the colour of my skin, or the fact that I happen to have the common sexual orientation."

        "Because I may have my reservations about excessive political correctness, but honestly, I absolutely do not want to be seen as being in the same camp as the low-life scum on the internet that think it's OK to be a white nationalist Nazi, and have some truly nasty misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic behaviour. And those people were complaining about too much political correctness too, and in the process just making my public stance look bad."

        "Will everybody be happy? No. People who don't like my blunt behaviour even when I'm not being actively nasty about it will just see that as 'look, nothing changed'. I'm trying to get rid of my outbursts, and be more polite about things, but technically wrong is still technically wrong, and I won't start accepting bad code just to make people feel better about themselves".

He takes a shit on both the far left social justice evangelists and the alt-right retards. You can calm down now.

This is the same kind of speculative propaganda as "as China becomes wealthier, it will become democratic". It's a mix of bigoted assumptions that Chinese culture will for some strange reason follow Western development model and just blind naivete driven by Chinese state propaganda.

Reality stands in stark contrast to these claims:

OTOH, they don't need complex map software, no steering necessary,

Many of the cities I've been that have trams really do have "steering" to worry about. Not that they have a steering wheel, but they have to identify a failure of the switching mechanism that has them turning when they shouldn't have, or vice versa. For example, in Munich, almost all the trams go by either the north or south or east side of the HBF, and they get switched into different tracks as the spread out around the city.

they always have the absolute priority of way,

"Priority of way" (right of way?) is a legal concept, not a physical reality. A tram that has the legal right of way and rams into a passenger car is still wrong.

They also don't care about snow or ice on the tracks.

Uhhh, what? And huh?

The second link in the summary "describe a method for spraying invisibly thin antennas" seems to go to an article titled "Facebook stops sending staff to help political campaigns". Was this link changed when being posted?

Nope, you are wrong. Wind and solar plants in the UK not only produce more energy than nuclear plants, they are cheaper too.

You just call anyone you don't like "fascist".

No, professor, it is you who does that. I call Chinese "Fascist" because that is, what they are — by the very definition of the term. Unlike the Communist/Socialist China of the late 20th century, today's China is Fascist: capitalist markets exist — and move the economy — but they are tightly controlled by the government. The secondary indications — like rising nationalism and persecution of minorities (complete with ethnic cleansing) are there too. And — and this is the point most important to this discussion — neither a person nor a company can survive after displeasing the government in general and the Dear Leader in particular.

Up until Trump's election, the US was going in that same direction (and not fast enough for some people). One hopes, he'd be able to survive politically long enough to cripple the creep towards Fascism for a few generations — by nominating judges with a similar pessimism over the government's power.

But, whether he succeeds in that or not, his very attempts make him anti-Fascist. That Google's CEO dislikes Trump for his imaginary Fascism, while willingly cooperating with the actual Fascists of China is a sign of deep malaise of this country's elites — both real, like this very bright Mr. Brin, and the wannabes, like a certain much dimmer teacher who is so wanting in education.

Yep we see lots of examples of working single payer solutions.

Our solution is broken, but many 1st world systems are broken. Just giving everyone access to healthcare doesn't necessarily improve healthcare. We have many more issues beyond just that. We need to come up with effective policies for handling wait times, delays for essential testing and services, the inevitable loss of incoming medical professionals when incomes stagnate or fall, and the lack of innovation in medicine that artificially deflating costs will cause (ever wonder why many of these countries sickest people seek help in the US)?

No, your tired and frayed racist card has no meaning.

It's not "playing the race card" when you're an actual racist. You're engaging in anecdotes, confirmation bias, and healthy portions of bullshit to demean a vast group of innocent minorities who have never done a thing to you.

Like every other bigot in the history of the universe.

I referenced statistics that shows the Black Lies Matter narrative is bullshit

To paraphrase NDT, the neat thing about facts is they don't give a shit if racists believe in them or not. That a black person is much more likely to be murdered by cops than a white person is indisputable. Go move to an island with the people who work "white privilege" into a sentence so you can fling poo at each other.

It wear on my intelligence to argue with sympathizers of domestic terrorists from the Black Liberation Army.

MAGA hatters have been running around wearing this t-shirt which celebrates Pinochet throwing thousands of people out of helicopters over the ocean. Which numerically is 40,000 times worse than your fifty year old police shooting. By your line of dumbfuckery, all Republicans, Trump supporters and a good number of Libertarians are all bloodthirsty fascists who need to be denounced and rejected. Because a few people have bought a t-shirt.

But any person who made such an argument would be an utter moron - just like you.

Doesn't mean they're wrong about everything, including covering basic statistics.

It means you're further flying your idiot flag when you call them a leftist newspaper. That's what it means.

It's also a numerical fact that a black is for more likely to be involved in a violent crime, which has fuck-all to do with police murdering people minding their own business or assigning the death penalty for petty BS like selling loosie cigarettes

FTFY. Blacks could be responsible for 100% of all violent crimes, and you'd still be using racist as fuck "Jews killed Jesus" reasoning from the Klan when you try and justify police state brutality against innocent people. You do know that Tamir Rice and John Crawford had nothing to do with Willie Horton (or whatever boogyman you want to use) when cops decided to murder them without warning, for holding not-guns in an open carry state.

He only mentioned the Eric Garner case, and he did indeed resist arrest.

Cops assault people all the time and resisting arrest can mean anything from "couldn't get on ground after being tazed" to "suspect was trying to get away (from the police dog tearing up his leg)". In Garner's case, he kept saying he couldn't breath, as he couldn't breath in a banned choke hold. At no point did he try to fight off the officers and make a break for it.

But he's white, so his life didn't matter. Or it didn't happen. Or he deserved it.

Sarcasm is noted, but that's exactly what your words would say if you expanded them to people with lighter skin.

To say All Lives Matter is racist.

When trying to pretend there's any equivalency between blacks and cops getting murdered? Yeah. It is. When a black person commits a crime, especially against a police officer, everyone expects that black person to go to jail. Including other black people.

Whereas chickenshit cops are free to murder people with impunity, and people like you go around making excuses for them while blaming the victims.

Fair Question: Did Clinton meddle in the Russian election?

Oh, much worse, from Russia's perspective.

Remember "Fuck the EU"?

Basically, the US helped foment a coup/revolution/pick-your-term in Ukraine that replaced a Russia-friendly government with one that was not-so-friendly.

Commentary from the article linked above:

The US says that it is working with all sides in the crisis to reach a peaceful solution, noting that "ultimately it is up to the Ukrainian people to decide their future". However this transcript suggests that the US has very clear ideas about what the outcome should be and is striving to achieve these goals. Russian spokesmen have insisted that the US is meddling in Ukraine's affairs - no more than Moscow, the cynic might say - but Washington clearly has its own game-plan. The clear purpose in leaking this conversation is to embarrass Washington and for audiences susceptible to Moscow's message to portray the US as interfering in Ukraine's domestic affairs.

and

An intriguing insight into the foreign policy process with work going on at a number of levels: Various officials attempting to marshal the Ukrainian opposition; efforts to get the UN to play an active role in bolstering a deal; and (as you can see below) the big guns waiting in the wings - US Vice-President Joe Biden clearly being lined up to give private words of encouragement at the appropriate moment.

The EU didn't want to do that:

Not for the first time in an international crisis, the US expresses frustration at the EU's efforts. Washington and Brussels have not been completely in step during the Ukraine crisis. The EU is divided and to some extent hesitant about picking a fight with Moscow. It certainly cannot win a short-term battle for Ukraine's affections with Moscow - it just does not have the cash inducements available. The EU has sought to play a longer game; banking on its attraction over time. But the US clearly is determined to take a much more activist role.

The EU didn't want to do that because Russia had made it clear it regarded overthrowing the then-current Ukrainian government as an act of war.

But Barack Obama (and Hillary?) knew better....

So now we have a de facto Russia/Ukraine war, and a pissed-off Russia seizing portions of Ukraine (Crimea - which, BTW, is historically Russian and not Ukrainian...) it deems necessary for military reasons.

Imagine, say, if Hawaii with its US military bases became owned by Canada by administrative fiat (like how the Soviet Union made Crimea part of the Ukrainian SSR...) but Canada had a friendly government that allowed the US continued use of its bases there as if nothing had changed. Then Russia comes along and foments a coup/revolution to replace the pro-US Canadian government with a pro-Russian one.

Yeah, that's what Barack Obama did to Russia. Yeah, that was a "reset", but not the one Obama sold to the US.

Damn right the EU was wary of doing that, and Putin wound up pissed.

Nope, he says he didn't write it, and politicians never lie. https://www.bbc.com/news/world...

You didn't actually refute anything that was said.

You mean aside from everything, categorically? You know playing the stubborn jackass card doesn't work in real life.

All you did was make excuses for a murderer who fled justice to live in a real life communist country.

You can stop trying to make this delegitimization/deflection happen. It's not going to happen. I can tell you're so dense your head could take a direct hit from the Death Star and you wouldn't even notice, but lets use your argument with different variables. Teabaggers and MAGA hatters have been wearing this T-shirt of late, which celebrates Pinochet throwing thousands people out of helicopters over the ocean. Numerically speaking, that's 40,000 times worse than than citing a fifty year old shootout.

Since you believe in guilt-by-any-association, all Teabaggers, Libertarians, Trump voters and Republicans have to answer for this celebration of fascist mass murder. But of course they don't, because this entire line of reasoning is nutpicking, which is always an exercise in dumbfuckery.

Dumb.
Fuck.
Er.
Eee.

Put down the shovel and stop embarrassing yourself.

No, I were not wrong. I exagerated. I could not know before that you are a nitpicker.

You were factually wrong. That you're trying to pass this off as an "exaggeration" is pathetic.

First of all, as long as Turkey is considered save, we don't accept refugees from there.

"Mrs Merkel had already taken a unique initiative in announcing that all Syrian refugees would be eligible to claim asylum in Germany - unilaterally, and rightly, waiving the so-called Dublin procedures, under which displaced people must claim asylum in the first EU state that they arrive in."

You are conflating people who are citizens of Turkey versus "refugees" who did not originate from Turkey. Not that it matters where they actually originated from, since all they have to do is ditch any papers and claim asylum status based on whatever they are told to say. In practice, once they are in a European country the odds of them being deported are small.

Germany did not lay out a doormat. No idea to what you are referring.

Like I said, you are beyond a useful idiot. A bleating sheep with blinkers on your eyes:

"Merkel's suspension of the Dublin II accord and her decision to do away with all effective vetting of asylum applications submitted by Syrians looks certain to lead to an unprecedented number of migrants arriving in the country; according to the latest estimates, 1.5 million refugees are likely to have arrived in Germany in 2015 alone."

Except for Poland, I don't recall such a country, Hungary or Bulgaria perhaps?

Funny how you lecture me about being ignorant, when you're wrong about everything, and even when you actually admit your ignorance, you can't do a simple search to find the answer.

Obviously you are not aware that [1] were terrorists, and usually not refugees but recruited immigrants or descendants of immigrants and [2] were organized and bribed by Neonazi groups.

Does it hurt to have your head so far up your ass?

It's possible I'm both racist and ignorant. Oh, and sexist. Probably sexist too. Because I'm a man, with skin so white it's nearly translucent, therefore I must be ignorant, racist, and sexist. Oh, and homophobic too, I almost forgot about that.

I've been accused of so many things that it means nothing any more. How about instead of providing insults you provide some information?

The BBC has been giving some reporting on this and they aren't exactly a small time blog known for right wing conspiracy theories.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world...

The government is planning to take land from people without compensation, and amending the constitution to make it "legal". This will have long lasting effects on people in the country that produce food and conduct business. We've seen how things like this play out and it never goes well. There will be food shortages, unemployment, and all the "fun times" that come with both. This is simply blatant racism against the white minority and it will not go well for South Africa and their neighbors.

Has London's murder rate overtaken New York's?
New York Murder Rate is Much Higher Than London's

In March it looked like the London rate was higher, but it seems that several of the murder investigations in London were closed with results that concluded they weren't actually murders (accidental stabbings maybe?). So the final figures for those months actually have London (47) lower than New York (54), and the first six months is even more lopsided (London: 80, New York: 141). In the end, there was a single month (February) in 2018 (so far) where there were more murders in London than New York.

Oops, not one of the gun control threads I'm talking in. Ignore that last post.

How about you are far more likely to be murdered in New York then you are in London for you https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43...

You do realise that it was CNN and the left in general who started the whole 'Fake News' thing to explain why Shillary lost the election?

This is incorrect, Anonymous Coward.

The term was in use long before Hillary lost the election.

From - https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs...

It was mid-2016, and Buzzfeed's media editor, Craig Silverman, noticed a funny stream of completely made-up stories that seemed to originate from one small Eastern European town. "We ended up finding a small cluster of news websites all registered in the same town in Macedonia called Veles," Silverman recalls.

He and a colleague started to investigate, and shortly before the US election they identified at least 140 fake news websites which were pulling in huge numbers on Facebook.

The young people in Veles may or may not have had much interest in American politics, but because of the money to be made via Facebook advertising, they wanted their fiction to travel widely on social media. The US presidential election - and specifically Donald Trump - was (and of course still is) a very hot topic on social media.

And so the Macedonians and other purveyors of fakery wrote stories with headlines such as "Pope Francis Shocks World, Endorses Donald Trump for President" and "FBI Agent Suspected in Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide". They were completely false. And thus began the modern - and internet-friendly - life of the phrase "fake news".

Who knew that Winnie the Pooh was so dirty and unrighteous.

...

So you think walking into the woods pantless with a baby pig and a jar of honey is OK?

Who knew that Winnie the Pooh was so dirty and unrighteous.

Fuck Xi Jinping, fuck him up his stupid cartoon bear ass. (we both know the internet has images of that)

BBC tells an interesting story.

But to say that President Trump was the first politician to deploy the term would itself be, well, "fake news".

On 8 December 2016, Hillary Clinton made a speech in which she mentioned "the epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year."

There's a definite limit to how much gold is on Earth, and it's surprisingly small:

https://www.bbc.com/news/magaz...

The key is "mineable" gold. There may be only 175 thousand tons that are extractable from land, but there is an estimated 20 million tons in seawater; it's the cost to extract it that makes it uneconomical. If a way could be found to extract it cheaply, gold would follow the same path as aluminum.

Hard to argue with them when they constantly re-adjust data to fit theories, which when run backwards can't even fit past climate behavior without further massaging datasets.... or when so many studies published are found to be bunk when anyone tries to replicate results. After reading something like that, how can you not assume a lot of scientists are faking things?

Since scientists publish papers that explain exactly what they did to adjust the temperature data how come someone like you doesn't take that information and explain exactly how the algorithms they use to adjust the data make it fit the theories. It's easy to make that claim but it never gets backed up with solid data to support it.

As far as replicating results, yes it's a problem in medicine and social sciences but not so much in physical sciences like climatology. Again if it's such a problem why aren't guys like you actually doing the science to prove it's a problem.

Considering how many people in the US believes science is fake

It's not that many in the U.S. believe science to be faked. It's that, based on decades now of scandals, they believe many so-called SCIENTISTS to be fake.

http://www.pewresearch.org/fac...

Please don't try to tell me that Pew is "right wing."

However, this IS a thorny issue. "Persecution" has many levels, from simple name-calling all the way to death. So a person who is shunned for their religion is not the same as a person killed for their religion. As I mentioned in the grandparent post, Islam is most likely to kill you for religious violations. Unfortunately, hard, unbiased numbers for actual death an imprisonment for religious reasons is hard to find.

But from the pew article that I linked above, it says:

Among the 25 most populous countries in the world, Egypt, Russia, India, Indonesia and Turkey had the highest overall levels of religious restrictions.

I should like to point out that of these five worst countries, three are Islamic. None have a Christian majority.

Another example of religious "tolerance" is where the movie "Wonder Woman" was banned in Lebanon -- simply because the lead actress is Israeli... https://www.aljazeera.com/news...

But, in all fairness to Islam, some countries are becoming more tolerant. Saudi Arabia just started allowing women to vote in the past few years. Let's all welcome Saudi Arabia to the 20th century. https://www.bbc.com/news/world...

Since the FBI has never convicted a single spammer

Okay, stop right there...

A US man who sent more than 27 million spam emails to Facebook users has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison. An FBI investigation resulted in Wallace's prosecution after he turned himself in, in 2011.

Since you start with an outright fabrication, I'm going to ignore the rest of your crazy ranting.

the team analyzed over 175,000 articles published in predatory journals and found hundreds of papers from academics at leading institutions, as well as substantial amounts of research pushed by pharmaceutical corporations, tobacco companies, and others. Last year, one fake science institution run by a Turkish family was estimated to have earned over $4 million in revenue through conferences and journals.

What's the criteria used in determining a publication "fake" and/or "predatory"?

Is it the accuracy and reproducibility of the results? That's been a known problem for years.

What else? "High" fees? Why would that be a reflection of "fakeness"? TFA cites susceptibility to fakes, but that too has been very well known problem, you can even generate your own CS "paper" online.

Seems like TFA is just a salvo in the war of some magazine-publishers against competitors... Slashdot editors have been duped into posting it...

What's as disturbing as the physical violence is the coordinated news blackout. This is horrible. Not discussing a problem doesn't make it go away.

Instead of technology making us more free it helped the oligarchs to control us even more.

That's because you and most people are politically illiterate, rule of law protecting the bottom 90% of societies and capitalism are not compatible. No one has learn anything from labour history. People had to fight for the right to vote, for environmental rights, for worker rights. Many people died. Most kids these days conveniently believe whatever the state education system tells them, even though they are setup to protect the interests of the oligarchy and corporations. That means if you're right wing and not rich, you have no idea how capitalism even works, you are a member of the class of worker or professional that the upper class openly despises.

baloney yourself idiot.
OCO2 is showing that China is emitting more than what they admit to. However, it is not possible to get absolute numbers on it. All that is seen is that it is much more than double what America is, and we are at 14.5% of global emissions.
This is no different than when China had to reverse their 50 year lie about coal and how they were caught just recently releasing 13,000 TONNES of CFCs into the atmosphere YEARLY. And it turned out that the Chinese gov KNEW that companies were doing it. Otherwise, they would not have been doing it all of the construction companies.
