What's fake? The content of the tweet is a matter of public record, as is the relevant law (17 CFR 240.14e-8).
I'm not claiming It's fake news. My claim is that the link OP provided is to an opinion piece and a worthwhile read (not a Bloomberg news article). If you wish to discuss the relevance of making this distinction there is an ongoing debate https://news.slashdot.org/stor... where consensus seem to me that it is a relevant distinction to make.
Bloomberg ran an article titled Elon Musk's Funding for Tesla Wasn't So Secure where they pointed out when Musk said "funding is secured" there was no actual agreement in place. His statement being factually untrue risked causing this SEC investigation.
Per recent discussion concerning fake news, I'd mention that the article linked is an opinion pice by Matt Levine as noted in the headline and it comes with a disclaimer at the end. Imho it's a worthwhile read.
My 401(k) contributions are supposed to purchase new shares every Wednesday. I've noticed that sometimes it's Thursday, or Friday, sometimes they even miss a week and it's delayed into the next week. Wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn that the money is being held and used for other things in the meantime. Or that they sell me shares when the price is best for them.
It wouldn't surprise me if a well aimed email would answer your query.
You made the assertion, burden of proof is on you.

I expect that James Damore will never see a courtroom with his case against Google. He'll get a big fat pay-off out of court, and Google will make some kind of half apology where they say they did not fire anyone over comments over hiring practices and that they'll never do it again. After that I expect Damore to find work in his own company doing whatever it is he likes to do, and make appearances on TV shows and on the speaking circuit for most anyone that asks. Any other outcome will not be near as good for Google.
I also don't think this will see a courtroom, but for different reasons:
Damore had an at-will employment contract and the US National Labor Relations Board wouldn't take his case (he might have technically withdraw it, but there is enough documentation as to their findings) so I don't believe he has a case, at least not from the angle he's pursuing it.
He has failed to gain enough monetary support, he's seeking $100k but have only received slightly above $50k https://www.fundedjustice.com/... that's not enough to cover his side of the trial (several others have joined his class-action lawsuit and the money is for all of them).
We have built a free, decentralized and uncontrollable network. But we won't make the mistake twice to let the masses in and destroy it again. You were threatened by the free internet we gave you and you let the government in to control it. So be it. But now you get to live in it. You wanted a nanny instead of learning to fend for yourself, now live with it.
a sub set of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. So I think (not a lawyer) that an appeal can be made to the entire 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. So this may not be the final outcome. Time will tell.
Tidbit from the article not mentioned in the summary.

My working hypothesis is that 99,9% of people who represent themselves in court are idiots, so I'm not reading anything the courts decision.

As far as I understand the problem (and the article isn't really clear), the companies collect facebook post of people in groups where protests are discussed and then files injunctions against persons unknown to stop them from trespassing private land.
Actually it possibly is. If Bitcoin is slowly inflating, rather than violently oscillating between extremes, it might start to be possible to take it seriously as a "currency".
Your hypothesis might be correct, but for the fact that bitcoin by no reasonable definition is "slowly" inflating.
My mail shows up as pwnd. From the details of it, a site concerning a subject I'm not interested in, written in a language I don't speak and surely never registered with was pwnd and my password is all over the internet. Eventually finding the file where it's spread I unsurprisingly find that it's a password I never used.
Now my mail is "hacked" on a semi regular basis as my mail adress and the password I've never used is included in what to me seems like new compilations of old pwnd's
For not so surprising reasons my mail cannot be removed from HIBP and surely I can take one for the team, but it's still annoying AF.
So, I was involved with DSM-5 (you could look up my name but I'm not telling).
You're right that this could probably lumped in with gambling, because in terms of learning schedules they're very much the same (e.g., both have variable reinforcement schedules). Many games are essentially gambling.
The DSM (and ICD) to some extent tends to be horribly conservative though. Some of this is maybe well-founded, because of real concerns over overpathologizing, but some of it has to do with the scientific culture in formal institutions of psychiatry and clinical psychology, which tends to be focused on superficial aspects of behavioral patterns.
There's lots of aspects of this that are messed up, though. "Addiction" probably isn't quite the right word for either gambling or gaming problems though, because the neurobiological pathways are different from those involved in drug use problems. They're probably their own thing. There's a history of people in the field of behavioral sciences and out of the field making well-meaning models or metaphors, and then taking them very literally. E.g., there are some things about gambling and pathological gaming that are like drug addictions, and other things that are different, and other things that are probably more like compulsions. It can both be a problem and sort of like and sort of not like any of those things. People need to start being comfortable with any given behavioral phenomenon being its own thing, while having elements in common with other things.
It's pretty clear that some people do have gaming-related behavioral problems. Do you need a separate disorder for it in the DSM or ICD though? Maybe or maybe not, but I'm not sure that the answer to that question is entirely scientific. It's sort of scientific and sort of not. There are an quasi-infinite number of ways for someone to have mental illness, but we don't specifically label them all, for example.
Hope you're reading this. Thank you for the explanation, whoever you are.
They got pressure from religious groups to have disorders listed on a case-by-case basis. If you make the mistake of calling "mental health disorder" any behaviour so severe it takes precedence over other life interests, then the most fervent believers would be considered sick.
This sounds plausible. If you have any links to articles/diskussions on this I'd appreciate it.
Why would this be so hard to diagnose compared to for example the diagnostic criteria from the DSM-IV for 312.31 (Pathological Gambling)?
A. Persistent and recurrent maladaptive gambling behavior as indicated by at least five of the following 1. is preoccupied with gambling (e.g., preoccupied with reliving past gambling experiences, handicapping or planning the next venture, or thinking of ways to get money with which to gamble) 2. needs to gamble with increasing amounts of money in order to achieve the desired excitement 3. has repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling 4. is restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling 5. gambles as a way of escaping from problems or of relieving a dysphoric mood (e.g., feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, depression. 6. after losing money gambling, often returns another day in order to get even (“chasing” one’s losses) 7. lies to family members, therapist, or others to conceal the extent of involvement with gambling 8. has committed illegal acts, such as forgery, fraud, theft, or embezzlement, in order to finance gambling 9. has jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of gambling 10.relies on others to provide money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gambling B. The gambling behavior is not better accounted for by a Manic Episode.
I LOVE that Slashdotters were all like "omg, they're a private company. And these are EXTREMIST channels! WHO CARES!" and now it finally hits channels they care about and they're like "omg, googggles is so evil."

You might have a point, but reading the thread you choose to reply to I don't see anything that supports your case.
When you use such strong language please try to provide relevant information to back your case, it helps with the discussion.
I'm pretty sure the pseudonym is a group of individuals. The posting of original documents happened at all hours and not a pattern typical of a single person.
I believe "fingerprinting" techniques at least similar to the one the NSA is said to have used have been published, so if there is enough text available your hypothesis might be verifiable by iterating over selected groups of the texts.
Except that they do and they already did confirm it. They analyzed all his writing and compared it to all public posts on online forums etc and found out who he is. This information was already made public.
Care to provide a link?
What I remember is a similar story but it was a journalist who claimed that a DHS source told him that the NSA had identified Satoshi with a "fingerprint" of the texts. Link to slashdot story: https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...
And how do we know these "researchers" are not artificially pushing down the price of Bitcoin now...
They are actually real researchers who have written a paper describing their findings. Previous to this they released a paper about manipulation of the VIX. To describe and expose asset manipulation publicly while being held to the standards of science is their career, and they are doing quite well. To suggest that they also secretly engage in asset manipulation seems far fetched at best.
Bro, when you say solar doesn't work when the sun isn't out I believe you. It's whether or not this is a commonly known fact that needs to be spelt out where we have different opinions.
It's in that other post where you claim West Germany gave away solar tech to China during the 70-80's that I simply don't believe you. The world was very different before the fall of the Soviet Union.
The magic was not in the solar brands as they gave it all to China for free. Any factory in China with skills had sent its staff out to expert nations like a West "Germany" in the 1970's-1980's to return with the very advanced methods of making solar. Return to China with the design ability and upgrade the production lines.
In winter when its dark and everyone returns from their job and wants to internet, TV, to warm up, cook, read? Then its back to the grid and the sun is not out.
Solar is great in summer with the sun and time zones later into the day. Winter is not so great when demand is up and the sun is not up.
So why idle here when you can save so many from the impending doom? You could make a sign and stand by the interstate to warn all the people!

But how can we be sure what we perceive is real? What is the value of firewood in a computer simulation?
To repeat the common sense argument made by G. E. Moore for an external world:
Here is one hand,
And here is another.
There are at least two external objects in the world.
Therefore, an external world exists.
You don't have to fully agree, just accept that it's probably real enough and that actions are likely to have consequences and you'll be fine.
