"Slavery" is an overstatement, but the important thing to realize that it's not really about money. Crunch the numbers and there isn't a significant difference in formal wages. The difference is the desperation of the people being exploited, and the abuse of the power that employers have over foreign workers that they do not have over others.
Maybe Oreskes is on the denialist side. A classic tactic is that once you can no longer deny an obvious reality, direct blame on the wrong people. Consider who benefits from sheltering politicians from their responsibility.
Oreskes has misunderstood the climate change denial industrial complex if she thinks the only obstacle to the denialists accepting reality is an issue of style. They would simply find a different pretext.
Of course, this was exactly the kind of legitimate purpose people wanted drones to have all along, so actually much older than the drone issues people are usually excited about.
A lot of people are deeply invested in the US national mythology and would not accept that their government was what the rest of the world told them it really was. Constructive dialogue with (most of) those people is now possible.
Um, the actual Nazis had an army, many times over the size of the lawful army at the time, that engaged in street violence directed against political rivals.
I think some people are simply objecting to the name but expressing themselves poorly and objecting to the science. Since matter (in the ordinary sense) can be dark (in the ordinary sense), it is perfectly valid to point out that 'dark matter' is a truly terrible name, and hopefully whoever discovers it will name it something better.
(It's much worse than, for example, calling quarks red, green, and blue, since you can't reflect visible light off a quark and therefore in that context colour must take on a metaphorical meaning.)
*Something* exists. If the dark matter model doesn't fit the evidence, then scientists will abandon it, but don't be surprised if the new explanation is something even stranger and less to your liking.

It's the best kind of evidence of a crime - evidence where there actually is a valid reason to delete it.

The government of the United States of America is behaving very much like an accomplice to a crime
Accomplices to crimes are known to do that.
"[P]rivate data clouds" is a contradiction in terms.

But the 3-D modelling math sounds very cool.
The Bible can't be false because it's metaphorical.
The easy explanation is that the Bible was metaphorical.
That's pretty much the definition of what science is. I'm not even clear what they think the alternative might be that would still qualify as science.
And it works whether 'lost in the woods' is meant literally and metaphorically.
So... bad news for CNN too.
Also Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
So... It's a unit of money? Are people putting cash in the mail? Is the 'k' a conversion factor?

Progress is, however, very slow.
"It still arrives with the turning of the seasons, in brown envelopes just a bit smaller than a 401k mailer."
Which would be how many Libraries of Congress?
Calling an apparent effect of time some sort of mysterious matter would be a large mistake
Actually it would be general relativity.
We know because it doesn't even mention, much less explain, the Celestial Teapot.
Um, the actual Nazis had an army, many times over the size of the lawful army at the time, that engaged in street violence directed against political rivals.
An authentic Nazi would actually go to jail.
As a child who was indoctrinated under the food pyramid, I can categorically tell you that I completely ignored it.
Then you weren't actually indoctrinated.
"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets, and steal loaves of bread."

"Something we don't fully understand is causing an effect".
And it's name is 'dark matter'.
We have to call it something.
The search for the aether led to special relativity and general relativity. That doesn't sound like a waste.
In other words, exactly like all science ever?
*Something* exists. If the dark matter model doesn't fit the evidence, then scientists will abandon it, but don't be surprised if the new explanation is something even stranger and less to your liking.
