the Catholic Church were more or less rulers at one point. Less priests and more kings. There's bound to be no shortage of dirt in there. And Catholicism has been getting beat up lately as it is. That's why we got a Pope who openly questions the reality of Hell. A vast library full of texts nobody ever thought would be read by the common rabble wouldn't exactly improve their standing. In this case the Truth won't set them free.

I just saw this on the Google news feed: Russia just launched a floating nuclear power plant, headed to the Arctic. I can't help but comment on this headline: Russia's 'Nuclear Titanic' Heads West, Raising Fears of 'Chernobyl on Ice' to say the "Chernobyl on Ice" sounds like the worst Ice Capades theme ever.

(Apologies to those that take the potential destruction of the environment and Earth seriously.)

Has everyone forgotten so soon that Kim already said their nuclear development was now complete? Of course he's done testing.

He said then that NK was moving into mass-production of nuclear weapons - and nothing today has changed that. Nowhere has Kim suggested he is closing down nuke production. In the past, "denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula" has meant the complete withdrawal of all US forces along with its nuclear umbrella over South Korea, Japan, and the Asian area.

Not at all. There's a ton of good environmental news out there. It's just we never hear about it

I dunno, I recall reading lots of good news about environmental issues. But the reality is, things are getting worse faster than they're getting better. The news reflects that.

Going to the parent article http://www.newsweek.com/pasta-..., so "ate pasta instead of other forms of carbohydrate". So this study proves, nothing, eating one form of carbohydrate is not different to eating another form of carbohydrate. In the article "Study participants ate 3.3 servings of around a half cup of pasta on average each week", what does that even mean, they ate nothing else, that was the only carbohydrate they ate, so looking at the study, oh wait, they didn't link to it, not suspicious at all (I have tried wholemeal pasta, sort of reasonable but the more times I ate it the more disturbing the flavour, simpler to only eat pasta a few times a year with a lot of high in vegetable sauce).

Reminds me of the no sugar rush study for children eating sugar, check the study and oh look, the ensured the children only ate a very limited amount of sugar, a healthy dietary level and nothing what so ever like the amount of sugar they would normally eat. Also the calorie study where they compared the calories of coca cola to other foods, of course based upon burning them in a calorimeter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., so that of course a kilo of wood pretty much the same a kilo of sugar, completely ignoring the principle of human digestible calories, they were of comparing high roughage foods (most of which you can not digest but pass through your digestive track) directly to bloody sugar. Then the lie with umami and msg, umami originally is a balance of salty, sweet, bitter and sour in cooking in order to generate savouriness, not adding a neuro stimulant into food to stimulate the false perceptions of flavour, incidentally an addictive one. They lie, cheat and steal at every opportunity.

Buzzfeed is of course a shite advertising site, trying to generate buzz on articles which are actually advertisements. As web site best to be avoided, just a sham advertising platform, really lame. Sort of OK originally but really shite now. Buzzfeed should be mocked on /. not refereed to.

Some source after quick googling:

He turned down a tiny salary well under a million dollars and is directly transferring millions of dollars from the government to his own pockets every time he goes golfing. I think the total is over 20 million dollars now.

Wait... I'll look up what he "turned down"...

$400,000

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-...

in december it was already at least 6.6 million.

plus he doubled cost of membership, raised the cost per night for rooms, and foreign countries have lined up to book lodging at his hotels.

That could never go wrong.....

Laci Green, as one example, has had videos demonetized because her sex ed videos are too progressive. I find it funny though that you feel the need to say "progressive narrative" for why demonetizing has occurred or on in an article about Laci Green "red-pilling" the author writes when Laci Green actually listens and considers what's stated that her agreement on various points "as an instance of a liberal finally acknowledging liberalism’s inherent flaws". Laci Green acknowledges herself as a SJW and while I would potentially agree that SJW does heavily imply supporting demonsteization and censorship, it's not an aspect of liberalism.

I have to admit that people using "liberal" insulting triggers me. I should feel the same way about "right wing" and really alt-right would be the more appropriate statement. Personalize, I don't support any youtube channel being demonetized. What I would like is more people like Laci Green who listen to people whose views they may oppose and decide which points are valid and argue why. That's the conversation we need. We don't need rants about how horrible certain political affiliations are without bothering to listen to other points of view.

PS - If you can't figure it out, I'm not a SJW nor alt-right. Labeling people isn't always appropriate, but mislabeling people or ideas almost always is. I have no problem in principle having my ideas challenged. Pragmatically, of course, I'm not watching hundreds of hours of rants by 20 different people or explaining myself twenty different times. Like most things, there's a middle ground. Not a middle ground in ideas but in a realization that there is a space where people can present their ideas and decide what they believe instead of parroting or self-deluding themselves.

He's not. Zuck is a hypocritical little shit. He's actually doing something Trump hasn't been able to - building his own wall

That's great for Apple that they hired an expert on machine learning.

there was a non evil yet interesting emerging field of similar scope worth going after. I've no doubt of AI's potential, even if it is certainly not going to live up to the hype. It does enough. It's most worrying direction seem to be to find the buttons to push to manipulate people in directions that are contrary to their best interest.

Targeted product advertisements are only the tip of the iceberg, but even there you can eventually figure out what a person may buy again and figure out exactly how much they are willing to pay. Perhaps you can even have the AI spawn across sites so you first see it at one site a little higher than normal, then the second site is normal, then the third site is just a little cheaper than normal. Hey, it's a good deal you gotta buy that. Rotate the algorithm and everyone wins. It would also be incredibly hard to prove, particularly if you identify people checking for nefarious pricing models and send them the correct prices. It would be the VW thing updated.

My real concern is when basic observable facts can through the use of systems of systems of AIs can be slowly eroded in the public sphere such that the average person doesn't believe they are true anymore. Sure you needs some human conductors, for now at least, but the potential is there, particularly when a lot of the other sources of information, such as local news are filled with other forms of propaganda.

Hell I just voted today and the voting person actually believed the shit they were selling about it being necessary to photograph your id to prevent serious voter fraud. They even questioned me on my address being different, as if I should have updated my drivers license after buying a house. That is the kind of misinformation that is incredibly commonly spread to game the system and only the tip of the iceberg. You don't need to disenfranchise the majority of your opponents voters. You just want to disenfranchise a few more percent of them than of your own. Zero sum game. Winner takes all.

Hell 51% of republicans still think Obama was born in Kenya. link That has been debunked constantly and should be a no brainer. If things like that are distorted such that half of the republican voters believe that lie, then what other lies do they believe?

Are our elections outcomes based more on lies than truth?

At any rate, that is overall while I can't endorse anyone making AIs more functional. The only positive spin I can think on it is you might be able to code defensive AIs, but getting the truth has never been that hard, and it is not as if you can put the defensive AI in people's brains to force them to think that gee maybe Trump was full of shit every time he said Mexico was going to pay for it the same way he was full of shit about Birthirism?

Yeah, that qualifies :-/

As for why Assad would use chemical weapons, there is a twisted bit of dictator and civil war logic that makes it make sense: it ensures that his underlings and army cannot surrender. If he was about to lose, there's a chance that Assad himself could hop on a plane and escape to Iran or Russia

Except that doesn't make sense. It's the opposite of making sense - in fact it's complete dumbfuckery. Why would Assad use gas after the U.S. had been braying for a year about "red lines" and when Syria was winning the war? If he was going to use chemical weapons, why didn't he do it a year beforehand when your CIA backed head choppers and organ eaters were starting to overrun the country? And why would he use chemical weapons the day inspectors arrived in the country? Dumb. Fuck. Er. Eee. Moreso now that even the SecDef that loves shooting Arabs admits there's no evidence Assad used gas.

Probably fake eh? The Texas Attorney General reported the exact same thing

https://www.texasattorneygener...

Attorney General Ken Paxton today announced that his office sent a letter to state Senator Bryan Hughes, the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Election Integrity, announcing a significant voter fraud initiative and addressing key problems and policy areas related to election law. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) also stands ready to assist Starr County District Attorney Omar Escobar in the fight against voter fraud, and fully supports his efforts to educate the countyâ(TM)s citizens on existing and amended voting laws.

The letter to Senator Hughes highlights the lack of safeguards in the voting system to detect ineligible voters, discusses additional potential measures to address to mail-in ballot fraud, and addresses the use of public funds for political activity. The letter also discusses a specific investigation of four counties where 165 unlawfully registered non-citizens had been removed from the voter rolls after casting 100 illegal votes in Texas elections in the last two years. The OAG also discovered that the legal process for removing ineligible voters who self-report is not being followed correctly, if at all, in various counties. Several investigations into ineligible voting and voter fraud are ongoing.

And then there's this memo from Jennifer Palmieri saying that getting DACA recipients to vote is crucial for Democrats

http://www.newsweek.com/daca-m...

A memo from a liberal-leaning advocacy group warning Democrats that they could fail in the 2018 midterm races if they can't strike a deal to protect "Dreamer" children of undocumented immigrants has conservatives accusing the party of playing politics with the lives of migrants.

The memo from Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary Clintonâ(TM)s former top aide and executive vice president for communications and advocacy for the Center for American Progress Action Fund, called on Democrats to make the fight for DACA recipients a âoemoral imperativeâ or else risk jeopardizing their chances in 2018.

âoeThe fight to protect Dreamers is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical component of the Democratic Partyâ(TM)s future electoral success,â the memo reads

Or you believe Pope Ratho that the only non citizens voting are Russians voting for Trump.

The Europeans figured that out 30 years ago. But the USA is half rural, as we see from the success of Republicans in Congress and the WH. People in rural and outer suburban areas tend to be militant after personal rights; this ad is typical of that mindset.

But if you go back and read the great political treatises of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries which form the underpinnings of the British/French/American constitutions, you'll see that it individual rights are not considered absolute. Far from it, there is a reason for government and that involves negotiation of some individual rights for the sake of the common good. Obviously, we don't want government to run our lives, but we do need some government and we don't want to allow foreign enemies, criminals, businessmen who don't give a shit about anything except profits, or troublesome neighbors to prevent us from living our lives in "pursuit of happiness", either.

The FBI was aware of such a threat(s) existing. They however did not necessarily have knowledge about where any of their suspects were located within the USA. The CIA knew of several terrorists that were entering the USA and refused to notify the FBI because they thought any attack from them would be committed elsewhere. It's entirely possible that the FBI would have ignored any such notification, as they did with the douche bag in Florida, but we'll never know because the CIA was playing politics.

Yes the conservative thing is do what you want, but not the finnancial conservatives- saying people will willingly and en masse willingly take a far lower paying job is the exact opposite of free market principles.
Trump himself has said 20% of all teachers which would bring the total to 700k additional guns, tens of thousands of times more than what we have. The NRA loves this because it is a half billion dollar gun purchase. He isn't advocating any additional training beyond basic gun skills and already required permiting or authority at all.
Yes it is murder. If someone breaks into my house, and I fire on them and kill them I will be brought up on murder charges. maybe I get off, maybe not but either way it will financially ruin my family. Note this is not a belief, but a simple fact of the legal system. Sure I'd murder them, but I fully realize I'll likely be sacrificeing not only my own life but the financialand emotional stability of my family. Plus the cops are just as likely to murder me if I'm even holding a gun as anyone who isn't in a blue uniform is fair game to be shot if it could even possibly be construed as a weapon. I'd point out I'm white, it's far worse for people who look like the poor or minorities.

So, since the earth's poles are about to switch (see http://www.newsweek.com/earth-...), could this have an affect on what's happening? And since this has happened so many times before are we to believe this is the only time in the history of the earth that the polar caps are melting?

No computation necessary. I have it from the highest authority that the ice caps are growing so much they're setting records. Anything else is FAKE NEWS.

You know - the guy whose wife got almost $1 million from Hillary! cronies - while he was "investigating" Hillary!'s illegal email server.

Yes, Andrew McCabe, former Deputy Director of the FBI. A long-time and close Clinton ally, Terry McAuliffe, directed in total $760,00.00 to Jill McCabe's campaign for Virginia State Senate.

FBI No. 2 did not disclose wife's ties to Clinton ally, records show

Clinton Ally Aided Campaign of FBI Official’s Wife

Bureau boss McCabe under Hatch Act investigation>

Jill McCabe's campaign appears to be have been a front for receiving a monetary bribe in exchange for obstructing or delaying the Clinton server-gate investigation past the presidential election. There is unquestionable evidence that he tried sitting on it:

Justice Department investigating McCabe’s handling of Clinton email probe

McCabe, FBI Knew About More Clinton Emails Well Before Comey's Announcement in 2016.

Washington Post: IG was investigating why McCabe appeared not to act on Weiner emails

$760,00.00 is an insane amount of money to donate for a state senate seat in Virginia, vastly disproportionate to both the value of the seat to the Democrat party and to what other candidates receive. What you need to know to understand that this was actually a monetary bribe directed to her husband is that in Virginia any money which is not spent on a campaign can be kept for personal use.

Leftover campaign money can fund almost anything in Virginia

If we include the recent revelation that McCabe's signed the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campagin, it then appears that, all together, Hillary Clinton bribed McCabe at the least to:

- Help Hillary win the election by covering up or delaying revelation of evidence against her.

- Make false charges against Trump before the FISA court and then spy on the Trump campaign.

Clinton allies in the Obama administration gained access to secret FBI intelligence on Trump using hundreds of unmasking requests.

1.

"Bill Clinton did receive $500,000 to deliver a speech at a Russian bank that was promoting Uranium One stock, according to The New York Times, and the company’s chairman donated $2.35 million to the foundation in four installments as Uranium One was being acquired by Rosatum between 2009 and 2013."

2.

"And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority
stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium
One stock."

3.

"Where he once had drawn $150,000 for a typical address in the years following his presidency, Clinton saw a succession of staggering paydays for speeches in 2010 and 2011, including $500,000 paid by a Russian investment bank and $750,000 to address a telecom conference in China."

Unless of course we are actually fighting a war now - but nobody recognises it?

I nearly finished Tamim Ansary's Destiny Disrupted (2009) last night, a book which I highly commend to anyone as ignorant of the history of Islam as I was before picking up this book.

It reads like hanging out in a bar with your favourite egghead drinking buddy, who casually injects 100 times more information than what you've ever known during an extended bull sessions about the history and politics of the Middle East. Rated against anal-retentive scholarship, there are no doubt many bones to pick; rated against general-information bull sessions, it's an epic romp.

The Great Game

East of Iran, the Cold War simply looked like the Great Game revisited. The differences were only cosmetic. What had been czarist Russia was now called the Soviet Union. The role once played by Great Britain now belonged to the United States. The dynamics, however, were the same: the intrigues, the pressures, the threat of violence, and the actual bloodshed. ...

The core battlefield of the Great Game had been Iran, Afghanistan, and central Asia, and this region remained in play. The Russians of the nineteenth century has wanted to push south through Afghanistan to the Persian Gulf to secure a warm water port for their navies and shipping. The Soviets had the same interest, but with added stakes: geologists were now confirming that roughly 65% of the world's petroleum lay under and around the Persian Gulf ...

Huh. I wonder if any American troops are stationed in Afghanistan this very minute?

"My original instinct was to pull out and, historically, I like following my instincts. But all my life I've heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the Oval Office," Trump said as he revealed the strategy.

Wow, what an amazing reveal—it sure is news to me that he's ever heard that once in all his natural born days.

Here's to your having a blast with your now spectacularly doubt-free "are we really at war?" executive time in the coming days and months, Mr Trump.

Funny about Murdoch's ex being ID'd as a suspected foreign agent. Breitbart and the conspiracy theorists would be going ape over this stuff if it wasn't in their own back yard.

This is a woman who got a US couple to sponsor her for a student visa, then--once she arrived--promptly started fucking the husband, pried him away from his wife, married him, and stayed married to him just long enough to get that green card.

Meanwhile, the visa people are giving me an extra hard time with my wife's green card because I'd been previously married, despite the fact that she and I have been together for well over a decade and have plenty of supporting evidence that this is indeed the case.

If only it was that easy

I do take heart in Fox splitting off Fox News and selling the studios to Disney. From a business perspective I would think that they are trying to firewall assets from an ongoing investigation.
