With absolutely no information I boldly predict, if you dig through all the funding sources, you would find a breakfast food company funding this study.
Newton was wrong. Einstein has been proven wrong. Darwin has been proven wrong.
Einstein did not fully get quantum mechanics. He added a fudge factor to "stop" the universe from expanding. Once it was shown the universe was indeed expanding, he removed the fudge factor and admitted it was a mistake.
Darwin had many hypotheses about many evolutionary features. His ideas of how mammals could have evolved is definitely wrong. His ideas of ocean subsidence that "raised" the islands where obviously marine shell fish fossils were found several hundred feet above sea level was wrong.
Newton was positively hokey trying to "prove" the biblical chronology and trying to prove God's hands in the movement of planets.
The greatness of science is: What they got right is so much it outweighs a few things they got wrong. There is absolutely no question how great they were. And being wrong is routine and normal in science, it is nothing to be ashamed of.
And if these guys proved Einstein wrong, they will get even bigger credit and fame. And that will not detract an iota of fame or greatness of Einstein.
Does the world owe you fully whetted and verified information for free? Why do you feel so entitled?
People who pay to get their information verified, who are willing wait for the verification to be done, get accurate information. They read smudges of ink and dye on dead tree mashed to pulp.
Sadly people like you not willing to pay for accurate information is why newspapers are dying.
You are responsible for the rise of fake news purveyors. You are not protecting and nurturing your tomato plants. Your garden is now overrun with weeds. Why blame others for it?
These photographs don't shed any light on how the grid was wiped out. It just shows how much. Which we already know. Just a little bit more graphic. That is all.
I dont own a boat right now. But I am just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire planning to buy a boat and haul it once a year to lake Tahoe from Vermont. If the truck can not make the entire round trip without refueling, it is not worth it. And no one would buy such a truck. Hence I pontificate from the lofty hills that this move is doomed to fail.
But, on the other hand, as long as they willing hand over their hard earned dollars, who am I to object? For all you know they might be laughing at me for spending 500$ on a Brondel Swash 1400. instead of using Scott. While at the same time Igarashi San will be looking down on me for settling for this cheap thing that does not even have bluetooth, without any internet connectivity, without even the most basic of perfumery options.
You fail to note the elasticity of the word "sufficiently".
A sufficiently advanced civilization that is running this simulation would set up parameters that will inhibit our cognition that we are in a simulation. It would take explicit steps to allow for us to prove that we are not in a simulation, so that their simulation results are perfect.
This "proof" that we can not possibly living in a simulation itself is an indication of how advanced that thing running the simulator is.
At the start of industrial revolution, since around 1750 approx, lathes were turning out nuts and bolts. But you needed to buy a matched set of nut and bolt. There were no standards, no interoperability between nuts and bolts from different manufacturers. At around 1840 a man named Whitworth painstaking collected nuts and bolts from various manufacturers, found the most common thread profiles and published a "Whitworth thread profile". This eventually became British Standard thread profile, and almost all the nuts and bolts we take for granted came from that standardization.
Software is still in that era. Each machine built then was made from the scratch, with custom built parts. There were no standard off the shelf components then. We still don't have a standard reliable gui that can be assumed to be supplied by the OS in linux. Windows guarantees a mouse/screen but it can't even give multiple customizable desktops in 2017 Windows 10.
If I am designing an electric motor, I don't have to worry about the anchoring bolts. I know the power and torque and weight of what I am shooting for. I will simply pick from well tested components library a set of four, six or eight bolts with known tensile strength, corrosion resistance, temperature profiles, cost and provide for holes large enough for the anchor bolts. If I am designing the controller for the same damned electric motor, every interaction the motor has with the micro processor that controls it is custom made. Several device control muPs each with its own protocol for data, feedback and error handling.... If I am designing a mortgage consolidation program for the asset management of a bank, every data feed I get, every data output, feedback, and error handling is custom built. That is why software reliability is poor, security holes are ill understood and development is insanely complex.
Having said that, we have made great strides in standardization. File IO within a system, of https requests across the network is getting standardized. XML is helping a lot. Entrenched players deliberately mess up interoperability with ulterior motives. But as the end users become more and more aware of switching costs and vendor locks, eventually these things will dry up and interopera bility will improve.
Well tested, well understood components are the key to building large, complex but reliable machines. We are getting there. Serious computation is a mere 60 year old technology. Hardly two and a half human generations, coping up with 45 generations of computational technology evolution. It will take a couple of human generations before we have senior managers who grew up with technology who would not fall easily for the sales tricks and demand real tested true interoperability and well tested well understood components.
I don't have a boat, but I nurture dreams of buying one, keeping it in my garage in Cleveland and hauling it once a year all the way to lake Tahoe for boating.
Unless the vehicle can do the entire round trip without refueling it is totally useless and no one would buy it.
In the game of chicken, (and political agenda) being rational like you is a vulnerability. The pipe-bomb posting guy has already won and left the scene.
The greatest danger to democracy is not enemies external and internal, it is the apathy and ignorance of the voting public. Sadly our voters are misinformed, and are apathetic. So the irrational guys keep winning.
Still we should continue to be rational and sane, and pray and hope someday the adage "you can't fool all the people all the time" will come true.
They think the stones were floated on logs and custom built canals brought the stones from quarry site to the construction site. It is not a mystery and people were already guessing they must have done it. Nile boats are very prominent in all Egypt art work.
The real mystery is how they lifted these blocks up the structure. The descendant of the caste of temple builders in South India says they build a helical wall that spirals around the structure. The wall is filled with sand. Stones are rolled up the helical ramp and moved into place. Once the structure is complete, the scaffolding wall is broken, sand spills out, and the structure is reveled. How they build the Big Temple at Thanjavur
It is possible the Egyptians also used inclined planes, possibly even the same helical inclined plane. BTW the helical inclined plane is used day in day out by us, we call them the threads in nuts and bolts.
Hypersonic planes, with sub orbital trajectories reaching anywhere in the world in 45 minutes, have been printed so often in Popular Mechanics, even Ronald Regan talked about it.
Rate at which Musk is going, that mag is going to change its name to Popular Muskonics.
One just can go about losing continents at the drop of a hat. We need strict audit procedures and chain of custody rules. We need verifiable data.
We must spare no expense in finding out who is responsible for the loss of the continent, and take measures to garner salary and benefits to compensate for the loss.
In my software engineering course, back in the grad school, the SABRE airline reservation system was a case study. Supposed to be a text book example of how to implement and mange the life cycle of complex software systems. I still have the book Software Engineering by Shooman.
That would have been 17 Moore's Law generations ago! In human terms, it like looking at the farming methods or weaving techniques or marine navigation procedures or military maneuvers of 1592!
What you signed up for two weeks ago was to give up your right to sue Equifax and agreed to binding arbitration. That is all. They were not planning to do anything with respect to credit freeze. Even now they want four months of damage control and get as many people to give up the rights as possible.
... You give up the right to sue Equifax for any reason, and agree to binding arbitration, and agree to give Equifax, your first born, an arm and a leg and your immortal soul.
There should be market for our personal details. There should be no one interested in knowing our social security number or our dates of birth or our mothers' maiden names. Why is there a market for it? Why is it so valuable to criminals?
It is because the banks want to lend without checking and when the face a loss they want to blame someone else. How can you reasonably expect me to make sure no one in this whole damned world masquerades as me in some unknown state with some unknown lending institutions?
Technically if the bank sues me, without actual proof that it was really me who borrowed and defaulted, they will lose in court, and probably liable for my court costs as well, and be open to libel too. But they don't sue us, they just report "this SSN, this name, this address, borrowed and defaulted on the loan" to the credit reporting agencies. Now the onus is on me to prove "it was not really me, but someone else". This is how they shifted the blame, reduced their costs, and they lend with impunity.
In no other country these personal details are so valuable. The only solution is to render this information useless. We need to get precedence set. Banks can not claim "XYZ defaulted on a loan" without actual proof that it was really XYZ not someone claiming to be XYZ. Else they are liable for libel and they should be penalized heavily.
Only when details of our personal life is useless in obtaining money from the banks, the identity theft will stop.

It is their members who show up without fail to every election. Especially the low turn out local elections.
Till Democrats motivate their base to show up in every little election, we will lose. Always.
It is not money. It is lack of motivation by our base.
