But the people that now supposedly defend free speech all ARE billionaires. Musk is a free speech absolutist (his words), yet biases his own companies algo to shove more of his stuff down my digital throat. I guess everyone is free to say

Does getting other results on Yandex make you trust them more? Is "different" for you "more true"?

People will vote for Hitler if you dress him nicely and make him seem to care for your personal problems (Trump die that really well). The thing is - in a fair election media scrutiny applies to all candidates. This guy flew under the radar

There are levels to influence. Macron and Trump were widely recognized as candidate before the election. This guy in Romania was at 5%, no one knew who he was, then suddenly he's at 20+%. That's next level. You think that having b

How about overturning the result when the elite accepts it, but then discovers that he (or whoever helped him) actually manipulated people via TikTok? It's not really a true people's vote in that case any more, so it seems rather

They didn't demonstrate anything. They haven't even released their dataset, nor mentioned how big it is. It's just hot air, just like the AlphaProof announcement, where very little is know about their system.

I agree. But my point is: Neither are UK or the US really clean democracies. In the US there is an entire system of courts that operate in a completely opaque way (eg FISA court). See my other post below for further examples. It seems here

I don't buy your arguments. > Parliament was sidelined by giving them a voting list with only one candidate on it (her). This implies that the parliament has to pick on who is on the ballot, which it doesn't: https://

How is that true, if the body that nominates the European Commission _is_ elected?? By the same argument you could say UK or US or any other solidly democratic is not democratic, because some commission or organisation is not directly, by t

Except Trump calls people all kinds of bad things and it doesn't seem to hurt him. Conclusion: You cannot arrogantly call someone a drooling fucktard. But you can call someone garbage non-arrogantly while also being a convicted felon.

But why would they respond with that information? PE already has a pretty bad press, so they know that customers are calling only because PE is a red flag. They could just serve some meaningless half-truth and try to confuse you.

Just from the way this paper is written (badly, all kinds of LaTeX errors), my belief that something meaningful was proved here, that some nice mathematical theory has been developed, is low. Example: The first 10 pages are meaningless bla
