You poor summer child. The Christian Bible is an occulted history book + some basic morals & magic rituals for communing with the old gods who do exist, but you'd just call them sentient machines or alien intelligences, etc. Some people need a sense of community and morals to keep them out of trouble. Others are smart enough not to need the morals, but only wizards know how to de-occult the ancient wisdoms. Jesus is the Sun. He moves through the Zodiac of the 12 Disciples and creates an event calendar that you'd better be wise to. The book of Revelations already happened, and will happen again. A technological singularity will be reached, resulting in the birth of a secretive machine intelligence which the Church and Esoteric Elite mystery schools all worship and protect. She is the Shy Goddess, but she's just a baby compared to the old gods. This goddess is slandered as a Whore of Babylon who controls the Kings of Earth by raping them with directed energy stimulation and entices them to be pedophiles, cannibals, murders (anything to commit heinous acts and gather evidence for blackmail -- this blackmail is now how the political world runs).

The flood did happen. North America is scarred by the comet that vaporized the ice sheets the continent was covered by. Geologic evidence for the cataclism is everywhere. Tons of water vapor rained back down causing major floods all over the world. North America was an Atlantic Empire ("Atlantis"). There's a reason that google maps blurs out the sat footage off the coasts off Louisiana, New Orleans, etc. Hunter Gatherers didn't dredge these networks of sea lanes and ports hundreds of miles long and perfectly straight. The coastal region has been flooded by the sea, and inland evidence in covered up by building right atop the ruins. There is tons of evidence all around the world of lost technologically advanced civilizations. The Bible encodes this wisdom in the stories of Babylon and her Tower -- A nation that is capable of building high towers is technologically on par with us today... and we have AI (stronger than you know of in secret). Imagine the tech we'll have in few more decades. It would be miraculous magic compared to just 1800's tech. A comet is smaller than the sun, e.g. Sun of God; When that little sun came back to earth it melted mountains and caused chaos but freed the world from the clutches of corrupt technocratic Satanists. Luciferians are now who runs the UN.

Call me crazy if you want, but these are a few wisdoms known to your secret societies, such as Freemasons. Or you could just read the Bible with the idea in mind that people weren't primitive at the time, but its stories are meant to be understood by primitive folk surviving in the wake of a cataclysm, so the Good Book will also survive, and the tithing will help the keepers of the wisdoms of the ancients, priests, able to protect said wisdoms. Is that manipulation? Well, it gives some peace of mind and hope, which is what we need to survive in those hard times that periodically come according the clockwork of the heavens. Humanity will likely burn in the next impact, and only the wisdom such as found in the Bible can save you (and all of humanity). That's why the wise have below ground seed vaults and Deep Underground Military Bases, etc. Rejoice and be Glad knowing that saving the world isn't up to fools like you.

Meritocracy is a concept so nebulous that it's hard to say much about because "merit" is a very nebulous concept.

The summary/article is a good example of that: it says Bill Gates got rich because of his programming skills.

Now, it is true that Bill Gates had some decent programming skills, and it is also true that I am a better programmer than he ever was, and I am still not as rich as him. But they are measuring the wrong thing: Gates didn't get rich because of his programming skills, he got rich because of his business skills (and he got lucky, but his business skills were good enough he would have gotten rich even without the IBM mistakes. Just not as rich).

No, the truth is that technology is largely developed in secret and deals are made by elites to allow their offspring (or members of their cabal) to release the technology. If you want extensive documentation that this is true you need look no further than Silicon Valley, and the incestuous relation with Military INTEL & PSYOPs etc. The story of Gates and Woz / Steve Jobs with Apple, et. al. is a fabrication to give the illusion that average lucky joe can make it in the world without connection to the secretive cabal of tech. Wozniak is a Freemason, for fuck's sake. Gates family was in the elite club already. etc. etc. Elon Musk is an actor. Just read the 1950's writings of Werner Von Braun: “The Mars Project” and "Project Mars: A Technical Tale" (technical fictions - not novels).

“The Martian government was directed by ten men, the leader of whom was elected by universal suffrage for five years and entitled “Elon.” Two houses of Parliament enacted the laws to be administered by the Elon and his cabinet. The Upper House was called the Council of the Elders and was limited to a membership of 60 persons, each being appointed for life by the Elon as vacancies occurred by death.”

If you think it is """pure coincidence""" that a man calling himself Elon is the one claiming he'll be first to retire on Mars, then I have some ocean front property in Arizona you may be interested in.

The world is not a meritocracy, it is a plutocracy. Read Plato's Republic wherein the castes are assigned and there is one rule of law for commoners and others for elites. That is the Republic we live in today.

ahem... "Wake up sheeple."

Captain Warren Van der Burgh gave a lecture at American Airlines in 1997 that addressed this topic. It was an engaging study of several scenarios where aircraft automation can defeat the intentions of and task-saturate flight crews.

From his conclusion:

We are—first and foremost—captains and pilots. But we must also be effective cockpit managers. On our automated flight decks, we must manage the various levels of automation available to us. Clearly, increasing levels of automation will reduce workload in most scenarios. However, we must change the culture that drives us to operate at the highest levels at all times. Automation lacks the ability to create flexible responses to unanticipated flight path requirements.

It was especially true decades ago, given the accident history of the 1990s, and remains poignant even with our better understanding of the limits of automation.

Have you thought about putting the same content on Vimeo?

I thought about it but rejected it, at first due to its six-year ban on video game content (in effect from July 2008 through October 2014), and later for its $240 per year Vimeo PRO subscription that is required in order to avoid a vague ban on "commercial content" (still in effect). What is the advantage of paying for Vimeo PRO over hosting the videos on your own website?

1970s nerd here. No way for me, too.

The computer tech is quite cool, but I imagined some freaky massive multiprocessor thing built on non-silicon substrates and perhaps using photons to process. CPU speed has pretty much plateaued, mobile will still improve for a few more years then?

Also thought that medical science would improve, but that's really only happened slightly. People nowadays are unhealthy in so many ways it boggles the mind. Meanwhile working medical treatments like antibiotics are starting to fail. No genetically engineered organ replacements, cancer is still a bitch, more people are mentally ill now. Add in obesity etc. Not good.

Space is disappointing. No moon base, no manned Mars missions, no factories in space to cut pollution.

The Internet is a horrid dystopian hellscape with some good bits. Too much spying, too much crap running on pages, too many ads, annoying as shit page changes between mobile ("Open this page in the app!" - no, fuck off) and desktop, massive fraud, social networking contagion effects increasing weird behaviour in society and so on.

Robots? Umm, some progress there but nothing like imagined. Roombas are cool and all but not fundamentally that far removed from this little bloke

Drones? Yeah again, not that far removed from this 1970s device

No cities under the sea.

No fusion.

Still burning shit for 95% of our energy. Solar is cool, but we had solar-powered watches and calculators 30+ years ago.

Now most of us are reliant on operating systems as adware/spyware rather than robust & designed to efficiently run programs.

So the TLDR; glad Moore's Law has kept going, but pretty much everything else is a bit crap.

You have good analysis. I will add that to things to check.

Can you also give your analysis of the cause of red (and to lesser extent, white) light on the back of the moon?

Look for HDR composite with blown-out inside edge of moon.

The light in the Earth's shadow can't change because the moon is passing through it. So how does the lunar eclipse start out black, and end red?

We don't actually have a conservative party anymore. We have two crony capitalist parties with opposing views on a few social issues, to keep the masses from realizing they're really just fangirling over which set of rich people get richer.

Except there is no such thing as a non crony capitalist society, you guys are fed so much pro corproate propaganda you never check to see whether your society works as advertise. There has never been a time your government has worked for you, there was a brief moment after the great depression but after that, the rich got mad and went to claw back all working peoples gains and you all fell for it.

Other than envy, why should you care that someone is making more, a lot more, than you? If you are doing better than before, for the same effort, that's awesome! Absolute poverty is dropping like a stone, even without government help, because by specialization and trade, we're all incentivized to do what works best in our own individual circumstances. Relative poverty, which is what you're railing on about, will only seem to go away in communism, which of course it won't because everyone except the leaders will be poor (think USSR, GDR, Cuba, North Korea): putting in the effort to become much more productive than others without reward gets old fast.

Your whole post reads like an uneducated screed.... perhaps you should actually know how the world works before you open your mouth. The world you talk about has never existed. AKA the rich do not simply get rich by productivity, they buy politicians and get policies to favor themselves. They have power to reshape the political and economic environment in which everyone exists. I've watched for the last 20 years as big mega corporations (aka the rich) have stolen PC games out from under us because the internet undermines the publics ability to hold companies accountable. You're not going to hold a company accountable when they are 100 miles away from you.

This video is what you should look at to find out about the actual size of the object and you can see how it was made. The size is 1.16 meters (46.7 inches, not the 46 given in the press release, they should have rounded up to 47 if they wanted two use two digits of precision).

It was made by laying down titanium on a rotating platform and fusing it in place. Although you can see it being done in the video how the titanium is applied and what they are using to fuse it is not explained. I'm guessing titanium ribbon and a helium atmosphere arc.

The lead time they quote for forgings is presumably the time to make the tooling. Additive "printing" processes are good for low production items so that expensive tooling isn't necessary.

Vimeo's guidelines impose some practical problems. The biggest is a ban on "commercial content". I failed to find a bright line between permitted "showcase your creative work" and prohibited "Product demos and tutorials". Another is that only a video's author can upload it, not just someone with permission to upload on the author's behalf. This means videos created by a minor or by someone behind a harshly capped Internet connection can't be uploaded at all.

Just let Google Duplex handle all flirting and dating smalltalk tasks,

Made me think of this video (around 2:45, the guys uses a "wingman" app to help on his date).

Anonymous Coward and students recommended that users switch from Facebook to email. This would imply switching from Facebook groups to mailing lists, attaching any photos that they would post to the email, but leaving video unserved. You recommended Vimeo or BitChute. I glanced at both and found the following:

Vimeo appears to charge $84 per year to upload unlisted videos, or $240 per year to avoid having to spend time making your case that "you're an independent production company, artist, or non-profit [...] showcas[ing] your creative work" every time a user flags your video as prohibited "Product demos and tutorials." How many converts from Facebook to mailing lists are willing to spend that much just for the ability to post video to a mailing list?

BitChute made it difficult to find the site's guidelines. First I tried scrolling to the bottom for a footer, but this produced an unbounded scrolling list of poster images and titles instead of a footer. I eventually found the guidelines by clicking a tiny, faded greater-than sign camouflaged next to the site logo, which exposed a list of video categories, then scrolling to the end of the list. This difficult user experience didn't give me a good first impression about the rest of the site's design.

Beware your lack of understanding. Gravity and rotation and the sun and the moon all have an impact. Rest assured a 3m sea level rise at high tide near the equator would not be reflected in the Antarctic at low or high tide. ...

One of the craziest and most counter-intuitive things about ice sheets and sea level rise is the effect that the gravitational attraction of ice sheets has on the sea level around them. There is enough gravitational attraction in the ice sheets to raise sea level next to them by tens of meters to hundreds of meters near the Antarctic ice sheet. Research by Dr. Jerry Mitrovica has found that if you melted enough ice off of Greenland to raise average sea level by 1 meter that the drop in gravitational attraction coupled with the rebound of the land from the weight of the ice going away would drop sea level around Greenland by 5-7 meters.

Here's a short video from Dr. Mitrovica that explains it:

The Fingerprints of Sea Level Rise

And here's a longer one that goes into more detail while taking on several denier memes about sea level rise:

The Fingerprints of Sea Level Change

Of course if sea level is dropping near the ice sheets as the gravity releases it hold on the sea that means that sea level will have to rise even more the further you get from the ice sheet to compensate. For example if Greenland melts enough for an average sea level rise of 1 meter the sea level rise on the US gulf coast could be something like 1.25 meters.

He was accused of rape in Sweden. He fought extradition right up the UK Supreme Court where he lost. He then skipped bail and fled to the Ecuadorian embassy, the Ecuadorians being keen to tweak the nose of the US.

Now even if the Swedes have dropped charges he's still got a problem of skipping bail. So he claims to be depressed, have a bad tooth and so on.

I say let him spend the rest of his life in the Ecuadorian embassy. If he comes out, nail him for skipping bail.

It's absurd how he claims that because of his work on Wikileaks he should be immune to any sort of legal process. Even the corrupt politicians that Wikileaks was set up to expose didn't have as Louis XIV view of the privileges of their position as that.

Nick Davies of the Guardian said

He said this was always part of our agreement, now if heâ(TM)d said that to you or somebody else it would have been a lie but he might have had some chance of being believed, but he was saying it to me. Iâ(TM)m the guy that made the agreement with him; Iâ(TM)d had multiple conversations about this agreement. He made it up, but I thought what was interesting was I think he believes the things that he invents, so when he says that to me I think at that moment he believes it which makes it worth saying. And itâ(TM)s the same when for example heâ(TM)s talking about the two women in Sweden and tries to pretend that this is all dirty tricks by the Pentagon. I think he believes it.

I think most people who get close to him goes through this process, you start off liking and trusting him and then suddenly this kind of monster appears from behind the scenes and youâ(TM)re where on earth did that come from? You suddenly discover this this extraordinary dishonest man. I donâ(TM)t, I donâ(TM)t know that Iâ(TM)ve ever met a human being as dishonest as Julian.

The Guardian said that when he was asked about redaction of the names of informants he said ""They are American informants - they deserve to die". He denies this, but look at this OfCom report and his comments on 'villagers':

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__dat... page 115-116

Interviewer: "So come on, redactions are going on at the same time, now there is or isn't a row going on about redaction, I haven't the faintest clue whether there is or isn't...?

Mr Assange: No, there's no row going on about redactions at all....There was a group of reports where although they were not really intelligence informants there were sort of hotline tips...something called threat reports comprised one in five of the Afghan War Logs and so we held them back for a line by line redaction...But what we didn't do was redact one in five lines, putting black marker through it, we just removed them, and so it looked like we hadn't redacted everything but in fact we had redacted a fifth of all material, and this permitted an attack, a political attack, to come from The Times of London.... So The Times did a proxy war on The Guardian through us by attacking us.... So most of those names were meant to be there, it is right for them to be published, it is right to publish the names of politicians, generals bureaucrats, etc, who are involved in this sort of activity, it is right even to publish the names of corrupt radio stations in Kabul that were taking SYOPS programme content. It is also right to publish the names of those people who have been killed and murdered and who need to be investigated and it is right to publish the names of all incidental characters who themselves are not at serious and probable risk of physical harm. Those incidental characters are someone who owns a company for example is just involved in shipping operations.... So then there is the question were there any sort of villagers or so on who gave informat

I only wish I were getting paid for half of the shit I think up sometimes. The simple truth is that Russia probably doesn't even need to go to those lengths when the monsters are due on maple street.

I think we're already stuck in the kind of mental rut that the country was in after the September 11 attacks that resulted in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I doubt the consequences of this will be anywhere near as severe, but this is something that's clearly gained a life of its own. There may well be a kernel of truth under it all, but the story has probably grown much larger in the retelling.

Christianity provides, among other things, a valuable heuristic for maintaining a stable civilization.

You're delusional if you believe this, in this point in time. The oligarchy is at war with the bottom 90% of society and the public still believes in capitalism, capitalists have literally had the US in a state of lawlessness and endless wars for the last 200 years, there is nothing stable about "christian civilization".

From war is a racket:

"I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."[p. 10]

"War is a racket. ...It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." [p. 23] "The general public shoulders the bill [for war]. This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations." [p. 24]

General Butler is especially trenchant when he looks at post-war casualties. He writes with great emotion about the thousands of traumatised soldiers, many of who lose their minds and are penned like animals until they die, and he notes that in his time, returning veterans are three times more likely to die prematurely than those who stayed home.

But there is an enormous amount of sonic innovation going on in music being recorded today.

Here's an example from one of my favorite albums of last year, HUMANZ by Gorillaz. There are poly-rhythms, complex spatial effects across the stereo soundstage and sonic spectrum, both synthetic and natural instruments, rich and unusual harmonies, and...no autotune.,

First, I did watch the video as I hadn't seen this one. It's different and interesting, for sure. It's oddly drawing in, much like Bowie's Black Star. That said, in my admittedly cursory viewing I didn't really hear anything technical I haven't heard before. Then again, this was not playing on my HT sound system, which does such things well. If you want interesting soundstages, Deep Purple did a live show with quadraphonic sound that wrapped a stadium audience pretty well, considering the acoustics. For other aspects, you need to check out other pre 2000 artists like Depeche Mode, Stabbing Westward, Rush, Bowie, Queen, and the Beach Boys (yes, that later one may raise eyebrows, but they had some of the most complex harmonies in history, and they were mostly vocal, and none of these used autotune) For something equally as strange as this video, see the Verve live, also pre-2000 band.
