Pretty sure NASA complied giving a film reel that demonstrated astronauts faking being beyond low earth orbit by taking pictures of a round window with the lights out in the capsule and claiming it was the whole earth.

So, yeah, basically NASA is propaganda with a bit of science thrown in. Everything they claim we need independent 3rd parties to validate, they've discredited themselves. No one has even demonstrated that rocket enter orbit. They go out over water then we lose them. We have a global network of telescopes. We should have at least one high res video of of a rocket traveling around the world and orbiting -- taken from the ground.

There is not one non-composite whole image of earth from space. There is not one high res picture of a satellite in orbit taken from the ground. Every time space agencies show you a satellite, they're either building it or it's CGI in orbit.

Also, the actual eclipse visibility locations do not approach an accurate match using space agency mathematics in planetary software. It's close, and the timings for 100% occlusion are correct, but if you try to compare the observed partial eclipse localities vs what's in the simulations you'll determine the earth must be a larger than the simulation describes.

Here's a movie of what happened. One of the ships is unfortunately not shown, but the tanker made a very sharp turn into the warship. It's hard to think of a scenario where that was a good idea. Maybe there was more than one warship, and the tanker was trying to avoid the other warship.

THIS. I was just about to submit it but figured someone else already had. Linkie

Why is this all so hard to understand?
Old stuff vs new stuff. You bought a rock. You can do anything with it at any time. If you got a warranty you can have the company fix it, if still unaltered. If you break it, you get smaller rocks and break the warranty as well. If you give it away it's now the new person's problem. If it breaks out of warranty you now have a nice boat anchor. The End.

The New And Improved Internet Connected Rock. You just bought a rock.
Thank you for activating your account via GPS, internet, and audible and optical recognition. No, you actually just bought a usage license with localized implementation hardware.

You can do anything with it at any time.
As long as the company's computers allow you to. If they deny or are somehow unavailable, that requested function will be disabled until connectivity is fully restored and your account balance brought up to date. Current fees will be made available to you on your monthly credit card statement.

If you got a warranty you can have the company fix it, if still unaltered.
If you local implementation hardware is malfunctioning, you can call a helpful not-your-language speaking tech who will happily ignore you comments while reading from a partially prepared script. If it is found that your local device actually IS malfunctioning, you can ship it back to the vendor who will gleefully return to you a refurbished unit. Eventually. While you are waiting, for your convenience you can purchase a brand new still-in-warranty unit from any available store!

If you break it, you get smaller rocks and break the warranty as well.
If you accidentally break the "No User Serviceable Parts Inside" label the Company's Physical User Interface Employees will be automatically called to investigate the matter. if it turned out you broke the label or disassembled the unit on purpose, the aforementioned Physical User Interface Employees will reclaim the physically damaged unit and happily physically service you with a smile. If not, please call our customer support hot-line for additional attention.

If you give it away it's now the new person's problem.
The unit's permanent memory will record every command ever issued. if provided with a microphone or camera it will notice and record everything in proximity. Loaning it to a new owner does NOT absolve you of any past or future offenses. Better make sure the new owner is a good friend! Also, this unit is completely impervious to hacking -- everything is completely under control.

If it breaks out of warranty you now have a nice boat anchor.
If it breaks the company's servers will soon notice the missing requests and automatically issue a new one. Your credit card number is already on file; you will also be provided with the current legal contracts and your obligations that we might change at any time, even while you're reading the current set. The old unit will still make a great gift!

The End.
YOU WISH.

I specifically paid for "hands free on-ramp to off-ramp driving" per Tesla. They never delivered on that functionality, but they did remove much of the parts they had delivered after purchase. I've included a small sample of the lies Tesla made to make the sale, along with proof of the claims, and a description of what they've actually delivered:

Claim #1: Tesla claimed that an alert driver could use the “Autopilot” feature to drive along a highway without touching any controls, as long as the driver was paying attention and ready to take over at any time.
Examples of claim:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Elon Musk (CEO Tesla Motors) demonstrates the feature to a journalist in October 2014
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... A Tesla employee demonstrates the feature to attendees at the Tesla “D” event in October 2014
http://www.stuff.tv/in/feature... Elon Musk (CEO Tesla Motors) in an interview in March 2015 states “We want you to go from highway on-ramp to highway off-ramp, without touching the controls, in the next 12 months”
What Tesla has delivered: In October 2015 Tesla released a software update that enabled “Autopilot”. This included a feature called “Autosteer” which came with a disclaimer that you must keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times. If your hands were not detected exerting torque on the steering wheel at road curves, the vehicle would pop up a warning asking you to place your hands on the wheel. This warning would intensify until either you applied torque to the steering wheel, or Autopilot would be disabled. In subsequent software updates the frequency, and intensity of the popup message was increased, and if the message occurs a certain number of times per drive the feature is completely disabled for the remainder of the drive. Additionally restrictions have been placed on it such that on some roadways the speed you can travel while on autosteer is limited to what the vehicle believes the speed limit to be.

Claim #2: Tesla claimed that drivers could use the “Summon” feature (part of the “Autopilot” suite) to call the vehicle and it would drive to them wherever they were on private property. Additionally Tesla claimed that the vehicle would check your schedule and pull out of your garage and meet you at your front door on private property.
Examples of claim:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Recording of the Tesla Motors “D” event where the “AutoPilot” functionality was initially revealed. Elon musk (CEO Tesla Motors) states at 9:55 “You’ll be able to summon the car, if you’re on private property, you have to be on private property to do it, you can actually summon the car and the car will come to wherever you are and, it will use the ultrasonic sensors kind of like an insect antenna, because it can detect even small soft objects with the ultrasonics, and it will just sort of slowly make it’s way to you and then stop and be ready to go. It can go even a step beyond that, if you have your calendar turned on, it will meet you there. So if you’re getting ready to go to work or something and it knows you’re going to need to leave half an hour before work and you say ok I’d like to just come out and have the air conditioning done and everything done, your music playing, everything just ready to go and it will just come and be there.”

Can you tell the difference between 480p and 720p on your tiny 4.5" or 5.0" screen smartphone? I doubt it.

When it's docked to an external display through HDMI out or Chromecast, I can tell the difference, especially for text-heavy videos such as screencasts from a desktop or laptop PC. Each&Everything's tech support scam investigations, for instance, are just barely readable at 480p and more comfortable at 720p.

So that the thus like you try to kill us with a bike-lock to the head "to fight Hitler?"

No thanks.

What is the alternative?

Best drone ever... single motor, caged prop so you can safely bump into things, spherical shape so it can upright itself or even roll along the ground. Unfortunately the market has spoken, so there are very few of them.

Facepalm .... FYI AMD rehired the Alpha CPU and AthlonXP architect in 2014 and created a brand new architecture from scratch.

Spend 10 seconds and google "Ryzen CPU". Ryzen had embarrased Intel this spring and ran less watts than the i7 7700K. No you did not misread my last sentence.

Seriously watch the video if you are into computers?

FYI, for those that don't get the reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

A man that never admits mistakes is a dishonest man. How willing are you to deny any wrongdoings on USA's behalf regardless of evidence to the contrary? Do you want to be honest? Or are you willing to look away, ignoring anything that contradicts what you have decided to believe?

War crimes include

• killing or wounding a combatant who has surrendered or is otherwise hors de combat;

Watch from 9 minutes into the Collateral Murder video; there is no way the killing of unarmed men picking up a wounded man lying on the street and carrying him into a van to drive him away does not match the above listed war crime. But don't just take my words for it. Listen to one of the soldiers actually being there on the ground:

Their overall mission that day was to protect us, to provide support for us, so I can see where the initial attack on the group of men was warranted. However, personally I don't feel that the attack on the van was warranted. I think that the people could have been deterred from doing what they were doing in the van by simply firing a few warning shots versus completely obliterating the van and its occupants.

Charlottesville was a giant put-up-job (the midpoint onward of this video goes into it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52C5-GplKxg/ by the parties noted to get people to be divided and fight one another.

Buncha dumbasses round here, don't know shit about tech. I bet they slashmorons don't even know about holographic UFO PSYOPS. Even though that tech has been in the patent office and various consumer grade versions exist.

Nope, instead the "science" loving fools here would call "UFO" chasers crazy for seeing that shit in use. As if disney hasn't demonstrated "cloud projection tech" publicly for decades Ooooh Aaaah! There's no military application for this at all! Next you'll tell me that 9/11 wasn't an inside job, or that it's possible for naval strategists to fuck up as bad as Perl Harbor on accident.

The real problem with this world is that it's full of morons who trust by default professional liars then think they know shit about anything, rather than people who question narratives and seek the truth.

Hell, I bet you morons don't even know about protecting brands with "clones". Lookalike understudies who get plastic surgery and take the place of people if the situation calls for it. The term "lifetime actor" probably doesn't even exist in your vocabulary. I bet you still think that beamforming can't be used to microwave anyone in any city using the cellular network.

Jonathan Coulter did the music on the three main portal games,

Portal and Portal 2 are certainly famous games, but not for the music. if you ask random people who played the games what the music was like, I think you'll get a lot of "um" and "er" replies, unless they remember the turrets and GLaDOS "singing". And the main body of music wasn't by Coulton either.

For some good video game scores, try Civilization IV, Homeworld or Red Dead Redemption.

It's not a full solution by any stretch of the imagination, but if you wanted an entertaining introduction to programming, you could do worse than having them play Human Resources Machine for a while.

It's cute, it's entertaining, and it teaches a simplified version of assembly language (!) programming in such a way that even non-programmers can see how the program's source code interacts with the computer to produce desired (or not-so-desired) behavior.

Where do you get this shit from? There's all kinds of people in the engine room, there's people running around checking for pirates, there's people checking the containers. there's people tightening the cables, people manning the refrigeration systems, the electrical systems...

I get it from people serving on those ships. For shipping companies like Mærsk the rest are in the habors which they run.

But to be clear that is the minimum crew, and it contains a cook because usually there are more people.

You actually still have to teach them and get them engaged in learning?

Some kids will not get engaged to computers. Others will. Each person gravitates toward their own individual wants and interests. In the aggregate you'll likely find more males than females enjoy learning computer science, while more females will enjoy graphic design; Additionally, some will learn mathematics and geometry better with a compass and ruler than a PC and graphing calculator, and some artists will fare far better with canvas or sketchpad than a digital medium.

People are not blank slates to be programmed into expendable and interchangeable cogs of the machine despite how much our corporate rulers wish it to be so. (now there's something you won't learn in any school, private or public)
