The people who were displaced were knocked down a few rungs on the economic ladder.

Which is a bit of a bugger if you're already on the bottom one.

The disinformation produced by Russians does not exceed the disinformation produced by Americans.

Consider the topic of preferential treatment for Hispanics.

Preferential treatment includes affirmative action (AA). It is gross discrimination against Americans of European or Asian ancestry.

The elites in the mainstream media claim that AA does not discriminate against Europeans and Asians. Yet, the statistical data clearly shows that, due to AA, an Asian (or European) must score roughly 300 points higher than a Hispanic, on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in order for the admissions committee (of Princeton University) to give the Asian (or European) equal consideration with the Hispanic.

Most Americans of Asian ancestry are aware of this disinformation produced by the elites in the media. Most Americans of Asian ancestry condemn this disinformation.

"'[Affirmative action] offends me,' [Yukong] Zhao continued, telling me he believes Chinese-Americans have faced far more discrimination than Latinos. 'Why [do] Hispanics ... get higher preference than Chinese-Americans, or Japanese-Americans?'" (Zhao was interviewed for a report published by BuzzFeed News.)

India is a typical failed nation.

New Delhi wastes money on military satellites and nuclear weapons when most Indians live in poverty. By contrast, when Poland was an impoverished nation, Warsaw deliberately refused to spend money on military satellites and nuclear weapons; the Polish government spent most of its resources on economic development.

Today, India remains economically poor, but Poland is relatively wealthy.

Among the Russian elites, supporters of Vladimir Putin use India to justify rejecting democracy. They point to the poverty and poor governance in India. They recommend autocratic China as a model for Russian development.

The "open borders" of many Western nations facilitate the entry of ethnic or racial groups which lack the will or the intellect to assimilate into Western culture. Such groups include Hispanics and Middle Easterners, and they exhibit high rates of violent crime. Facial-recognition software is needed to identify the numerous violent criminals in such groups.

Two strong indicators that an ethnic or racial group lacks the will or the intellect to assimilate are (1) exhibiting a disproportionately high rate of violence and (2) demanding preferential treatment.

Consider Middle Easterners. According to a report by the BBC, "in 8.5% of all crimes [in Germany in 2017], German police suspected a [Middle-Eastern] migrant of involvement. But for violent crime that figure was even higher, at 15%, according to a report in Die Zeit." (Get more information about his issue.)

Now, consider Hispanics. Hispanics commit murder at 3 times and 6 times the rate at which European-Americans and Asian-Americans, respectively, commit murder. (Get more information about this issue.)

Of course, Hispanics expect, demand, and receive preferential treatment from most politicians, bureaucrats, and administrators via (typically) affirmative action. (Get more information about this issue.)

In the 70s, we thought we were gonna have another ice age.

In the '70s we thought that a doubling of CO2 would lead to 2-3C warming. That's exactly what we're seeing. That's why the observed warming on the right side of this graph is vertical. Here's an Exxon scientist in 1978:

"What is considered the best presently available climate model for treating the Greenhouse Effect predicts that a doubling of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere would produce a mean temperature increase of about 2 C to 3 C over most of the Earth. The model also predicts that the temperature increase near the poles may be two to three times this value.

Like other politically liberal companies, Twitter censors information.

In a previous century, Christian clergymen declared that factual statements from some scientists (e.g., Galileo Galilei) are offensive. The clergymen shouted, "Blasphemy! Heresy!" They used religious emotion to suppress the truth.

In the current century, Hispanics (and Africans) and their political accomplices declare that factual statements from some conservative populists (e.g., Ann Coulter) are offensive. Hispanics shout, "Bigotry! Racism! White Supremacy!" They use religious emotion to suppress the truth. (Consider one example of the truth.)

Upon hearing accusations of racism, Twitter promptly bans the writer (of the truth) and deletes his comments.

Suppressing the truth in the past or the present is unethical.

Deliberately censoring information is equivalent to deliberately spreading disinformation. Both techniques create a false impression of reality. Twitter is no better than the propaganda offices in Beijing and Moscow.

Mapping out complex scientific debates is, by itself, important historic work

And I repeat: you are extremely delusional if you think Slashdot is the right place to do that. Or that your "work" is somehow important to history.

Having tracked the debate for such a long time at this point, I can clearly see that the debate over electricity in space is very much heating up.

And I can clearly see that mainstream science doesn't share your delusion. You just keep flooding public forums with your nonsense, and from the sheer volume of your crap posts, you conclude that there is some sort of debate going on.

When scientists tell you for example that we are observing dark matter filaments because a variety of reasons, you pretend that this is conclusive evidence of plasma filaments because they didn't take into account some hypothetical feature (Birkeland currents). Then you conveniently disregard the fact that we *did* map the gravitational lensing of the filaments, thereby observing they are indeed very massive and not just sparse ionized clouds.

Likewise you pretend no arguments against Halton Arp exist, all while decrying mainstream science for never even investigating his claims.

So long as you think you can just pick and choose which parts of the observational evidence and from scientific theories you can use to support your narrative, you're not doing science, and you won't be winning any arguments with the larger scientific community.

Halton Arp's work is so often a key component in crank astronomy. All the points made are simply and thoroughly refuted, this is a very good series of posts on his work and the today commonly accepted flaws in it: https://dealingwithcreationism... Also note how the arguments for why Arp is wrong are based in mathematics as opposed to the "tracking the controversy" nonsense used by Electric universe advocates who are too dum to do mathematics.

I am also interested in this topic. I have spent a lot of time on searching this kind of topic. It is very informative. https://hotmailsignip0565.blog...

CO2 in the atmosphere has gone up and down over the years with a natural cycle; we should be at a peak now. Looking at the climate on the scales of 10,000's of years, you would predict that it would be getting colder and this is, indeed, what was predicted back in the 70's. However, instead of peaking, CO2 has gone up and up. Hence the predictions have changed. The change caused by human production of CO2 has massively outweighed any natural cycle.

Predictions change as either knowledge or the world changes. Since the 70s, both of these have happened.

I'm sure you say the same thing about politicians, too! Unless you have a law degree and a decade or more of experience, you have NO RIGHT to criticize any politician. Logic and reason be damned, it's all about the degrees a person has achieved. Einstein was spot-on when he responded to the 100 authors opposed to him; it would only take one to prove him wrong, there is no "strength in numbers".

And as far as climate science goes, 95% of the models say that the data is wrong; however, as Richard Feynman so succinctly stated, if your theory (guess) disagrees with experiments/data - your theory is wrong. And in this case, the theories are pretty much wrong - at least 95% of them.

Don't you know? It's not okay to have a White nation that celebrates Western culture. This is our new vibrant diversity! Only White places need diversity you know. No college or country is "too Black" or "too Hindu". There can only be "too White".

Among all the advocates of "diversity" not a single one can tell me what measurable benefit it is. Only that we must have it. It is an article of faith. Meanwhile I can easily produce evidence that diversity and multiculturalism is nothing but a liability.

The difference between Slashtards and (say) Christian Fundamentalists is that Slashtards think their articles of faith are somehow special. At least the Fundamentalists are aware that what they believe is a doctrine of faith (they are quite proud of this) and are aware there are different faiths.

Sincerely, if NASA leadershop can't come up with useful science and technology to do, they should fold up and go home. I'm sure there's plenty of people with ideas and stuff that could replace them.

Take a look at this picture, for instance. The BFS is, what, half the volume of the ISS? What could be built with 8-10 connected shits at LEO?

What about JWST+1? What about a constellation of Hubble-like telescopes? What about landing on the moons of the outter planets? What about the (obvious) permanent lunar base?

But the Space Force patch for your uniform will still cost $2,000,000.

No, you elected the CIA.

The rule of law is very important and is something we should all agree on. That's exactly why the investigation into Russian interference in 2016 needs to be protected.

Uh huh... Please, pull the other one..

Hillary won the popular vote which nullifies any sway the superdelegates had.

Without paper ballots (or at least a paper trail), you won't ever get me to believe that.

Do note that party reforms have stripped superdelegates of their power

LOL Totally superficial. They just can't vote in the first round. But really, there's no such thing as superdelegate 'reform'. They have to be abolished completely.

Meanwhile the GOP can get by with "Millions of illegal Mexicans are voting!" and call it a day...

Well, yeah, look at the drooling, knuckle-dragging audience. Of course the democrats have their own distraction that has proven to be most effective.

Modern AI isn't that much different than the AI I learned in school 25 years ago. There are two things that enable AI to be much more useful now, and often seem more powerful than it is:
1) Processing power
2) Dataset size

    Both of those are multiple orders of magnitude greater today than 25 years ago, and that is what enables the kind of "flashy" AI that people get to interact with directly. Things like Siri, and photo albums on our phone that can automatically tag images with search terms (like "car", "tree", etc) as well as figure out that the same person is in multiple photos.
    Siri, for example, works not because the software is more intelligent and can universally understand English in a speaker-independent manner (like how the human brain would work), but because Apple has the processing power and storage capability to process a voice against dozens (if not hundreds) of speech models in parallel, and then pick the best match. A person with a southern drawl can be understood by Siri because their speech was also matched against a model that was generated from people that speak with a southern drawl. This reminds me that in the 80s I bought a speech recognition IC from Radio Shack for under $10 ( http://21stdigitalhome.blogspo... ). It could only understand around 10 words or so, and had lots of false detections, but it did work. What is the primary difference between it and Siri? Processing power, and the size of the datasets.

    So it is has primarily been the physical advancements in computing (processor speed, memory size, storage) that have enabled AI as we know it, and not advancements in the theoretical. To give credit where it is due, certainly some advancements in theory and AI have been made, but not the kinds of breakthroughs that would allow AI to function reasonably on 25 year old hardware, for example.

Fission does not involve a lot of carbon. It produces less carbon than wind and solar.

Fission works, fusion doesn't. Whatever you have to say against fission it sounds better than global warming. If global warming is a threat then we need fission power. If you fear fission power than global warming then I say you have some messed up priorities. We can wait for fusion to become energy positive, we can wait for battery storage to make wind and solar viable, we can wait for global warming, or we can start fixing the problem now with nuclear fission.

oh my god (i am not in it)

Nuclear energy is the new oil, only it isn't scarce or geographically limited or dirty. All that is needed is the will to embrace it, and the abundance it will afford.

UBI is a good start for sharing the productivity gains that have been monopolized by a few owners, but it is only part of the solution. Virtually all wealth today is derived from fossil energy, which is not sufficient to support the idea at scale. However, affordable and abundant nuclear energy can, and with minimal impact on nature.

There is a choice at hand, between a future of abundance and a 100% renewable fantasy which is resource intensive and further chains us to scarcity. The latter maintains the status quo, and is fully backed by fossil fuel interests, as renewables pose no threat to them and only increases their value.

He speaks for those that want a habitable planet.

Then the proposition would not have excluded nuclear power, the safest and lowest CO2 energy source we have today.
http://cmo-ripu.blogspot.com/2...

He speaks for the wind and solar lobby. If the people behind wind and solar power truly believed that they could compete with coal, natural gas, or even nuclear, then they would not have bothered with this proposition. In one way I hope this proposition passes. It will prove beyond a doubt on if wind and solar can compete. If this drives up the cost of electricity even a penny then it's a failure. If it doubles the price of electricity, which the data shows is certainly possible, then people will be BEGGING for something else.
