would be denigrating and talking down our democracy. That's what she said about Trump when he said he would accept the results of the election only if he won. He said several times that he thought that the process was rigged, and in most major cities it probably is. But, now that she has lost, apparently not accepting the results of the election isn't such a bad idea after all. Flip-flop?

In a nutshell, it's a rapidly growing movement of mostly the younger generation that rejects traditional conservatism, but supports nationalism. It's largely taking place online and in Universities. At its core, it's a push back against SJWs, safe spaces, and racial politics, which is why it's being targeted by the establishment and being labeled racist and "fake news".

2) The United States has been in the business of trying to spy on the communications of every person on the planet.

And to quote Arlo Guthrie:

And that's a great thing about America. I mean, this is the only
country in the world...l mean, well, it's not the only country
in the world that could find stuff out in two minutes, but it's
the only country in the world that would take two minutes
for that guy.

Other countries would say "Hey, he's the last guy...screw
him", you know? But in America, there is no discrimination,
and there is no hypocrisy,'cause they'll get anybody. And that's
a wonderful thing about America.

emphasis all mine.

> there's no reason to think she was trying to share that information with unauthorized recipients (which is the major reason the FBI declined to prosecute).

No, there's good reason to think stuff got shared with Huma and Hillary's lawyers, among others. It's in the docs the FBI released.

Regarding the alleged lack of intent, you can find a good summary here going over this.

Wha...?? The media isn't liberal? Are you delusional? Did the whole world not see the US media drop any pretense at journalism and and became people who had a conclusion that they reached, and then searched for facts to show that Hillary Clinton was a winner. That didn't happen in your world? FUCKING SERIOUSLY?

OK, sorry. Let's back up and provide a citation. " "Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper? Of course it is."
--Source: New York Times

Of course, this isn't good enough, it never is. This eight minute video (faster if you play at 1.5 speed) has a great supporter and friend of the liberal media calling them out on their ridiculous liberal bias. That's not good enough either, but I gotta run.

"I just don't believe a word Microsoft says about monitoring or not monitoring users anymore, period."

Correct, the big reason is the rich fear the political awakening of the masses, so they are integrating spying into everything to defend themselves.

Basically the rich are worried the average everyday joe will wake up to the fact governments never worked for the people, aka they don't work for us, hence the spying. They are afraid that one day the average person might get a clue politically.

The difference is that people no longer trust the MSM. I doubt they pay that much attention to the memes, but the MSM pretty much burned their credibility with a lot of people so we completely ignore whatever you're saying the same way we do with the people who constantly try to sell us viagra.

I don't know why, but it might have something to do with crap like CNN lying and telling us it's illegal to read wikileaks (as a lawyer, Chris Cuomo should've known better), the DNC holding events with the Washington Post that their own lawyers disapprove of, the New York Times posting editorials in favor of pedophilia, hyper-ventillating over #fakenews and ignoring the "nerd virgins" at Correct the Record propaganda teams that are openly employed, or maybe just the absolute disgust and condescension that the average liberal online treats people from the "flyover states" with.

I mean, isn't it just the least bit odd that you have to invent Russian propaganda teams because you can't believe that people disagree with you?

Re: Culling the herd...
"Send out an email warning users never to click on a link embedded within an email, with an embedded link saying "Click here for more information..." and then sack everyone who does."

Lenin advocated for revolution, which is the problem. Communism, as loaded as that word is, boils down to an economic model that may or may not work. Mostly, it doesn't, because there are too many opportunities to cheat, and too few incentives to play ball. But communes exist, here and there, among like-minded individuals who take it upon themselves not to fuck each other over. But on a broad scale? I wouldn't bank on it.

But none of that matters. Because large-scale communism has never existed. Not because communism is evil... it's because communist revolution is evil. The revolution part gave Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pot (Pol), Kim, whomever, the carte blanche to do whatever to whomever they decided were enemies of the "revolution" (i.e., their rise to power). Even today, years after they've been established, the enemies of the "communism" they supposedly practice in China and N. Korea are called "counter-revolutionaries", because once in place, the "revolution" is never finished. The goal of the "worker's paradise" is never accomplished because of this enemy or that enemy, foreigners abroad or traitors among us. And as N. Korea has shown, it can perpetuate down three whole generations of decadent leadership without an end in sight, even when the citizens are literally starving to death.

Why the fuck are we talking about this? This thread is supposed to be about open-source Darwin from Apple. But I've seen the light. Communism, real actual "communism" as an economic model, is not "evil"... let alone, it will just fade away for the inefficient, unworkable mess that it is (unless your Amish, or hippies, or some other group of super-like-minded individuals who just get up each day and make it work). Revolution is the evil. The U.S. got real lucky with theirs, having only to defeat an enemy a continent away after centuries of working, civil self-governance behind it. But lots of innocent heads rolled in the French Revolution before they got that all sorted out. Since then, every "revolution" I can think of has become a complete fucking blood-bath that propped up a tyrant, and it didn't matter what the reason was... communism, socialism, Islam, cultural purity, racial purity, even (the promise of) democracy. As soon as some leader shouts "revolution!" waving an axe-handle or an AK-47, that's code to angry young men for NO RULES! Loot, rape, kill, pillage, turn-on-your-neighbor, eat-your-children, shave you head, run for the hills, complete fucking ANARCHY. All is us vs. them (and you, probably, ain't in the "us" department).

In the end, like a wildfire, it burns itself out, since revolutionaries generally SUCK at producing anything, especially things that take time (and therefore capital), like food. Sometimes it takes a few generations (U.S.S.R., N. Korea), sometimes it takes less than one (watch... the days of ISIS are numbered, particularly as they lose control of those oil fields, the only source of hard currency they need to buy shit like ammunition and... food). China has been successful because Mao died and his successors have largely let the population do what they've done well for millennia... get shit done, and occasionally throw a bone at whoever is occupying the Forbidden Palace THIS time.

So, don't get your panties in a bunch over trip-wire words like "communism" or "socialism". That's just people thinking people oughta chip in a little, for the good of everyone. Get real suspicious of the guy who cries "revolution" or "overthrow", or anything else that gives him some self-authority to kill people and set himself up as herr Führer who will lead all proper people to paradise by eliminating the riff-raff. THAT's the guy who's gonna fuck everything up.

Unwanted pussy grabbing is not rape, it's sexual assault. All oranges are fruit but not all fruit are oranges.
To call all unwanted sexual gestures "rape" is to reduce the severity of the term and numb people to it.
Additionally, she let him. Just because YOU may not like sexual behavior doesn't mean no one does.

Show me a political candidate who kept their promises. The promises the public wanted them to keep.
This doesn't justify his actions, but it doesn't justify more condemnation than you would give to others.

People deflect the allegation that James Alefantis, the pizzagate guy, is a friend of the Clinton's by stating he is just some donor.
If that is a valid deflection, then stating that the KKK's endorsement of Trump does not mean he is a racist, is also valid.
However, since this is an exercise in finger pointing, I will mention a couple things that are true with evidence to back them up.
Hillary was very definitely, by her own repeated statements, friends with and mentored by Robert Byrd, a KKK member.
Additionally, Bill very definitely flew on Jeffrey Epstein's jet and visited his sex island on numerous occasions.

Elites in the white house... yes. Sadly that has always been the case.
It didn't start being a bad thing with Trump.

A) It's funny you'd link to the Washington Post, because they've never fessed up about this:

https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/2699

B) The primary excuse is "it's just art" and that Podesta wasn't able to attend that one, as if that somehow makes it better. Never mind Abramovi saying on Reddit that it's only art when done publicly and this was a private performance (but who knows, maybe an admin edited that in there...). And yes, Podesta appears to believe in that, how else do you explain the attachment on this email which is a reference to the myth of Osiris and the birth of Hecate?

I mean, just look at what even the WaPo acknowledges that Spirit Cooking is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EsJLNGVJ7E

When the allegation is that someone is into some really loony stuff, you don't really "debunk" that by saying yes, they are, but they weren't able to attend that one time.

Or to put it a snarky way, by modifying their headline: "No, John Podesta didn’t drink bodily fluids at a secret Satanist dinner, he was unable to attend that time. Marina Abramovi misses him."

Except Bretibart was right about the election, and the mainstream media was wrong.

I think a good tactic is to read news from various different perspectives so you can see who is lying or wrong about what and why. But anyone who tells you they're objective is lying to you

Except the only people they call "fake news" are those that go against the main stream media. What about CNN and their fake news?

But Trump has the best words. He has better words than anyone. If anything goes wrong, it will be someone else's fault, he alone will know how to fix it, and he'll tell everyone with so much energy that 51% of Americans will believe it even though the rest of the world is flabbergasted by how gullible they are.

The dairy industry is already highly automated. The modern cow carousel was originally designed in the 1930s, so this isn't anything new. Nowadays, with robotics systems, you don't even need humans to hook the cows up for milking.

So, while I agree that managing animals will always require some human interaction and supervision, the day to day operations are becoming more and more automated. It's no different than other farming operations, letting fewer farmers produce more for less.

To replace coal, we're building more nuclear. There's one new reactor being built (actually the biggest in the world at 1700 MW, although the project has been seriously delayed and is unfortunately massively over budget/schedule due to problems with the French contractor (Areva) and one additional reactor being planned for 2024. If both of these are successfully completed, it will more than double our nuclear capabilities and increase our energy production capabilities by almost 3000 MW. and should be more than enough to make up for the gap left by abandoning coal.

I'm a fan of nuclear, especially since we're also building the first ever deep geological repository to handle the waste storage. It's just a shame that the project has turned out to be such a screw.up (granted it is partially because the reacrtor type - European Pressurized Reactor - is new and has never been built before), and I'm hoping the authorities here learn something important from this: bidding these types of projects based solely on the price-tag will lead to issues. I do believe though that Areva will end up paying the fees once the case is settled, though whether or not it will actually have the money to do so (it's over 5 billion) is another matter.

Regardless of the difficulties and the cost, nuclear is really the only way forward for us, because we're pretty much tapped out on Hydro and solar doesn't have much use here at commercial scales because for half the year the sun is pretty much gone. So if we want to be rational and dump both coal and the dependency on Russian import gas, going nuclear with modern is the only viable option at this point.

Germany has gone the opposite direction and is shutting down nuclear power plants which is actually leading to an increase in the use of fossil fuels. Here's a TED talk about why the senseless opposition to nuclear is actually harming the environment because of that.

Fake news websites a problem, will main stream media the champions of fake news just fuck off, here is the reality http://www.internetlivestats.c... number of websites one billion, one hundred and twelve million, seventy seven thousand, nine hundred an six (excuse any error the number changes all of the time). So fake news, it would be a miracle to find (excluding of course the shit heads in main stream media) it, unless of course you are looking it (unless of course you are from main stream media looking for it but hey, they should just turn on the idiot box and look at the shite they broadcast).

So if I looked at one site every second it would take me, 12,871 days odd without break and of course not reading them to see them and find the fake news. Hey want fake news, fuck you google and youtube, look at this shite, https://www.youtube.com/result... by far the majority fake and Google not only wont block the asshats but in a display of sheer unadulterated greed wont let you block them either, because first you see the fucking commercial and then you see the bullshit content, well the start of the bullshit content, then go to the next video and oh yeah, the next fucking commercial, fuck you Google.

Now will those corporate fucker's wet dream be the ability to censor the internet of all competing non corporate propaganda content, of course. Wont to cut back on fake news, then bust up the fucking mega corps producing and that will get rid of by far the majority of actually accessible fake news corporate propaganda. As for the rest of the internet, seriously, think I can find those fake news sites out of the billion on offer unless I was specifically looking for them, no, but hey, fuck you main stream media and your endless bullshit.

There is simply no reasonable polite way to put this, well, I suppose there is but global corporate censorship, let the fuckers burn in hell (I don't even believe in hell but maybe, just maybe, if enough of us believe in that fantasy, a whole bunch of snakes in suits will spontaneously combust, we can only dream).

You have to realize just how much the recent election shocked the shit out of the media. Wow, there is a whole world out there and they have NO IDEA what is going on. They have been living in a bubble and that bubble was burst, badly, on election night. They are deep hurting and this isn't any kind of fake crocodile tears hurt. It's for real and they are going to engage in the kind of defense mechanisms that humans engage in when they are hurt this badly.

So, what should their reaction be to the fact that the world doesn't conform to how they think? Take a long, hard look at themselves and change? Or double down, adopt a fortress mentality, and deny that there's anything wrong? Label these dissenting voices "fake news" and strive mightily the MSM's chief weapon, credibility, to discredit them.

Well, that was what they did with "gamergate" - they doubled down on the shaming language until the gamers metaphorically spanked them. It wasn't until the advertisers pulled the advertising dollars that they backed down.

People like to bash Sculley (and Cook along with him). But, honestly, Sculley did a good job of running Apple. While it's not entirely a fair comparison, I'd point out that up until around 2008 or so, Apple's largest market-share was during Sculley's tenure. Products like QuickTime and Hypercard were released during his tenure. Apple machines weren't as distinctive, I'll admit, but the designs weren't horrible.

That said, one of the smart things that Sculley did was bring Jean-Louis Gassée over from Europe. Sculley, like Cook, was not a product guy as much as he might try to be (Remember the "Knowledge Navigator?") At the moment, I don't really see anybody at Apple in a similar capacity. Jony Ive is too heavily into style over substance, IMHO, and he's the closest Apple has to a "product person."

If you just laughed at the idea that the mainstream media is credible after the shit they pulled in the election, then you know what I'm talking about. They were 100% backing Hillary and the whole world saw it. They had themselves convinced that she had a 93% chance of winning and they believed it. After a shock like that, who can blame them for reacting this way? They have a lot to lose. Not just their million dollar salaries, but their entire way of life and worldview is being threatened. Why not attack the truth-tellers? It has a chance of working, and anything's better than actually facing the cold hard truth. Facing the truth is last resort after everything else has failed and the MSM is a long way from that. They have powerful resources and are not about to give up.

Better to get your news on controversial topics from news sources like Infowars or Breitbart. These sites have a huuuuuge audience, larger than the mainstream media, and they report stories that the MSM refuses to cover. Think about it: when powerful people tell you to ignore news sources, what should you do? (A) Obey and be a good little drone. Or (B) take it as proof positive that these news sources are broadcasting very inconvenient narratives that they really don't want you to know. Hell, I used to think Alex Jones was a crazy man, but damn if they're trying to suppress him then he MUST be saying something important, otherwise he'd just be ignored! Read for yourself, evaluate for yourself, if you think they're full of shit that's your decision. But read them yourself, don't let the MSM tell you what's credible and what's not, because their credibility is bullshit! Make up your own mind!

One side says, "don't pay attention to those others, they're fake!" and the other side says, "consider us, we'll tell you things the other side is hiding, just make up your own mind." What do thinking people do in this situation?

Supercapacitor car batteries have been made, they just weren't a real replacement due to energy density. If this offers better than 10:1 improvement over existing supercapacitor technology, and can be produced economically in volume, then it wins for battery replacement. But cost benefit will only be proven in volume, not the lab. Gold and micro pore activated charcoal is an amazing, if expensive supercapacitor technology. But would be around $1000 for a car battery replacement that was roughly twice the size of lead based options. Lithium iron batteries are a better car battery than lead based as well, but cost much more currently. And may be more hazardous. It all boils down to money.

It's not a mystery where there is taped confessions of DNC operatives inciting violence at Trump rallies. You don't have to trust or have any faith in O'Keefe to see that it fits into the larger pattern of BLM showing up to 'protest' at two different Sander's rallies, and effectively shuting down one of them by hijacking his podium.

Putting all the blame on Trump for the violence is a myoptic at best, and disingenuous at worst.

China wasn't part of the TPP, nor were there any real worker protections better than NAFTA that was also suppose help foreign workers. The only thing it would do is open free trade for rich countries to abuse poor countries just like NAFTA.
