I think the dispute hinges on what it means to be "doing well". In most companies, you can at least all point to the same thing, even if you disagree on how you get there: creating shareholder value. But in this case, the company

At least in the military, they have confirmed publicly that they routinely interact with UAP during training etc that are captured multiple ways: radar, FLIR, visual, cameras, etc. So it's not a sensor artifact. This resource is a good

He has provided classified photographs, videos, other records, _and his sources_ to both intelligence committees and the ICIG. I believe some of his sources have been directly questioned by those entities as well. And they have pressed forw

it feels like the most unlikely number of ET races monitoring earth would be 1. If it's possibly _at all_ that there is intelligent life elsewhere and it has the capacity to reach across the galaxy / universe and monitor us, surel

I'm also quite skeptical, BUT there are some plausible-ish answers to your questions: > why would a species capable of FTL bother visiting Earth? One possibility is that intelligent life on earth is artificial, so the "creators

Even if this is true, those communities always have the class of people moving through and that class deserves a vote, even if the individuals within it are changing. For instance, take a university town with population of 100k, 25k of who

I park a similar ebike in San Francisco fairly often. I have a good U-Lock and only lock to secure bike rings on main streets but haven't had any trouble. I've left it for hours at a time, but never later than about 9pm. You can

I think this is a good proposal and have also been interested in an expanded version of this where the company donates $X to _any_ profit cause, but directed by the employees. This way you can pay Vim one month and the NAACP or the ACLU the
