If a US politician advocates for Israel does this mean they are allied to a foreign power?
Yes.
If a US politician takes campaign contributions from a multi-national corporation does that mean they are violating the foreign immoluments clause of the US Constitution?
This is exactly why The Economist is over-stating the argument. Anonymous charity is a goal of many religions, but self-promoting charity is better than no charity at all. If the philanthropy achieves its charitable goal, then it doesn't matter if it's self-serving, and one could argue that the wealthy patron has honestly earned the fame and recognition that they receive. If it does not achieve its goal, or does so inefficiently, then the public is not likely to be fooled.
Once the CIA has everyone believing the UFO sightings were actually spy planes, they'll be ready to blame all the upcoming CIA drone sightings on extra-terrestrial vehicles.
At an unusual altitude, the distance will make the movements seem less natural, and your conscious and subconscious will argue over what you're really looking at.

in normal circumstances we'd label such a person a "mass murderer".
Assuming we didn't label him a murder victim first.
There is actually a lot of technology in the movie industry.
You will notice the quality of special effects as soon as they make a movie worth watching.
I don't know anyone that ever thought "Open source" was bug free.
Everyone who didn't think about it thought exactly that. Which means a very large number.
The definition of "the price is right" implies that they would.
I suppose the interesting part is that the price is likely not terribly high.
Oops, that was meant for parent.
I've checked the statistics. You're still a racist.

Once that would have been a good observation, but we're already past that point, and using a warrant is actually a step forward for a change.
If you equate rape with the few marginal forms of gender discrimination that still exist, you are part of the problem.
He represent[s] GOD.
I'm not so sure - he often sounds like a compassionate atheist.

Like most things, there are both short-term and long-term consequences, and both need to be considered.
Remember that 100% is over 78%.
The physical world. Human nature. The community. Or whatever else you want a metaphor for at a given moment.
If you had nothing in the way of science, then those rules might be better than nothing.
Of course, we've been better informed that that for many thousands of years now.
God is a metaphor. It doesn't even make sense to ask whether God or a god exists or doesn't exist.
Every positive real number, no matter how large or small, can be expressed 'exponentially'.
.. is assuming everybody is profit-motivated
Or at least driven by short-term profit. In addition to short-term profit and intangible rewards, there's long-term profit.

It should be patented! Heat -- on a computer!
That doesn't sound very safe. People will be thinking they've found unsecured wi-fi and then get themselves ambushed by orcs they weren't expecting.
If you objected to DeGrasse Tyson's tweet, then be constructive and make a suggestion as to what he should have done differently.
That little freeloader had it coming.
In other words, climate change caused by human activity?
