The needs of a few never outweigh the needs of the many.

Shutting down videos to millions of potential viewers because the recorders did not have the time nor money to produce transcripts, gains nothing / takes away everything.

If things were really fair, we should be able to now sue the complainants for taking away from us everything that could have resulted from viewing the course material.

> Are you honestly suggesting there is anything other than education preventing them from it?

Yes. The aptitude of higher abstract thinking varies greatly among different people and groups.

If you are really curious, check out the IQ test about pulling info from a sports column.

After that, your question becomes similar to asking why every short person can't be taught/trained to do well on a professional basketball team.

The title tries to make it seem as this is completely non-political, yet the entire body of the article is basically anti-Trump rhetoric.

So here is another human psyche detail - when someone removes the actual details (such as what these 3 exec orders are and the specifics of the mentioned crimes), they are doing so to protect the narrative...

I'll give you an example: "Ban of majority Muslim countries" vs. "Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen".

The reason the media removes the list of countries and replaces them with the quote, is because when people see the names of these countries, they realize that they are an open death-sentence destination for Americans, and have a large public that often chants death threats to America.

And that is a problem for the narrative the media is using (to exploit the situation). So the details have to be removed.

This is the first step of the manipulation of public opinion. The second step is the repetition.

These corporations are huge, with many many employees (over 30 thousand just at Goldman Sachs).

Just because you used to work for Goldman in the past, does not mean you are a current and future supporter of Goldman.

Nor does it mean that you are a bad person.

Trump is hiring people that know how these companies work from the inside-out. Which is the exact type of person you need to be able to deal with these companies head-on.

This is just virtue signaling against Trump by those that don't know they are being played.

None of these people and companies (and media outlets) said anything when Obama was doing much worse, such as blowing up entire countries.

Yet Trump puts into effect a temporary travel correction from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, half of which are an open death sentence destination for Americans right now, and here we see the establishment latching on to a story, removing the facts, playing with the numbers, etc, all to accomplish its anti-Trump goals.

This is dirty politics being dressed up as morals and values.

Found a picture of the victim and perpetrator - http://mabuhaycity.com/photoplog/images/205/large/1_1073_000...

Its always good to put a face to the name. It makes it more real.

Overall, I don't see this as such a bad thing... But every major decision is going to have its outliers.

This is a temp 90-day ban on non-reciprocating countries (and countries of concern), which the FBI said they are not able to properly vet (because those countries will not provide background info on the applicant, and some other reasons). It only affects non-citizens such as visitors, students, or employment visas holders - from leaving the country and coming back, and there seems to be a waiver process to help them.

They already have something like a 7 month backlog of applicants to process. 90 days is going to give them a chance to catch up and look for ways to improve the situation... Such as getting the "Implementing Uniform Screening Standards for All Immigration Programs" part of the order up and running.

In the case of a hot war between the US and Russia, the first victims (of mushroom clouds) will be every single EU NATO member that hosts US bases and US nuclear weapons.

So I'm not quite sure what the gain is for those members as they will not survive (the US might, but they won't).

> they’re just a country, not the king of the world.

Militarily and economically the US is an empire (by definition, as its growth is tied to warfare, expansion, and dominance). Just like the British empire was before it.

For example - it has 400 major, and another 400 minor, bases (some with nuclear-ready weapon systems) stationed in foreign countries. While no foreign country has a base in the US.

Blowing up 1 or more satellites will also increase the amount of orbital debris floating around.

There is already something near 1 million pieces of space junk being actively tracked to avoid possible collisions with existing space vehicles/satellites.

This space junk problem eventually reaches a point where no orbital vehicles will be able to reach, stay in, and/or pass into space.

edit: -deleted- this thread has been moved from the front-page, back 5 pages. There is no point making (nor leaving) good arguments in dead threads that no one can see nor take part in.

Stephen Wolfram worked on the language design (logograms) and wrote a lengthy post about it and making everything scientifically plausible - http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2016/11/quick-how-might-the-a...

I'm not getting anything to play on that page...

Here are some prerecorded videos from these HDEV streams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsm3mX0zqA4

Some of the footage looks almost to be in the atmosphere. Like at 2:44 (https://youtu.be/Xsm3mX0zqA4?t=2m44s) where you can see the moon setting.

Rest assured, my plans are different.

Without self-determination, you have no future. The historic record is full of examples of this.

Even if you survive, it does not matter - because you become an invalid in your own home.

Removing self-determination is extermination.

He hasn't even been sworn-in as president yet, but you've given him a chance.

I'm also not sure what you mean...

Bound electrons (in an orbital) can only have 1 of 2 quantum "spin" states - which is in relation to the nucleus and/or the magnetic field. Up or down. With the spin-up electron having a slightly higher or lower energy level then the spin-down electron (depending on other factors).

Isn't there some serious issues with the original Bell's tests - such as performing a post-selection of events (from the data-set) to remove all events that did not match the expectations of the experiment (...95% of the data was thrown out)?

I did, and it states that electrons can hold one of two spin values. But within the mathematical framework of QM, that value is unknown before measurement - so it is ambiguous - which is interpreted (by QM) as a possible superposition of both values.

The physical experiment itself only detected spin up or spin down.

And that is the main question, how can we know this [electron superposition state] is not just a product of the framework being used, with no real counterpart in reality?

Going over it, it looks like the experiment found that spin is discrete, either -1/2 or +1/2. And nothing in between.

> By applying a magnetic field, this spin points up, down, or simultaneously points both up and down to form a qubit.

Is there any real physical evidence that an electron can be both states at the same time, outside the mathematical framework of QM?

I haven't been following this, but are you saying that Wikileaks asked for this to happen?

Because what I read in the tweet pretty much says - we don't want this, please stop.

Please share this solid evidence, we've all been looking for it but can't seem to find it anywhere.

Being a "climate change denier" can mean almost anything today.

Such as that you believe that climate is changing not because of CO2 levels but rather due to other atmospheric gases or pollutants, or the sun's emissions, etc.

Or maybe you believe that the models being used are politically driven (which is a provable fact BTW).

You can still agree that there is a problem, but you just don't agree on the causes 100% or the solutions 100%.

So unless you know the specifics of what this person is not agreeing with you on, it is a meaningless and non-relevant label.

And the proof is...

> There is a difference between firing an employee and continuing to do business with someone that funnels millions of dollars into a racist, sexist, sexual predator that's backed by a foreign intelligence service.

Do you realize that the media that is telling you this has also lied to you on just about everything else in the past (e.g, Afghanistan, Iraq, ...)?

Why would you believe anything liars say?

CNN is now effectively nothing more than the Clinton News Network.

I'm voting for Trump because Trump is the candidate the establishment is actively trying to destroy. And virtually every story the mainstream media has produced on Trump can be debunked.

Most of his work was the product of other physicists work being brought together and slightly modified.

Ukraine never had nuclear weapons. Those where Russian nukes stationed in the regions of Ukraine.

The Kremlin had operational control of all nukes pre and post the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

There was no negotiations required to get them back except for a procedural "note of record". They would have been taken by force if necessary.

Facts are bs?

> would you recognize the right of any of the Russian regions to vote for their independence?

Has the Russia government been overthrown? When it is, lets talk then, because the answer will depend on the circumstances of the event.
