I have personally been in a few of these moments in my life, when I was thought that I would be killed. I have never been a hostage on my way to my own execution, but I have narrowly escaped death in combat a few times when I thought before

This is one of the reasons so many people in execution videos seem resigned to their fate; because they are. Just listen to stories people tell about narrowly escaping these kinds of deaths. Many of them talk about how they knew what was co

A lot more than 1 bot in operation. All you have to do is just sit there and watch the trading. It's fairly obvious there are a bunch of bots trading at any given time.

Actually, if you dig into the documents, you'll discover that cable companies make thin margins on their television/content broadcasting, but they make orders of magnitude worth of margins on providing broadband internet service

I couldn't not read your post without hearing your every word dripping with seething anger and disappointment. While your post contains information that has lots of merit, I can't help but see the person that typed this reply as a

This is a really cohesive statement of the opinion I have about it, thanks. It always surprises me to meet people that can't push their internal boundaries to even think about the possibility. The kind of thinking that if humans haven&

Actually, when I see the videos of the Phoenix Lights, I immediately recognize plane-dropped flares. Every video I've ever seen of those lights appear to me to be plane-dropped flares. I spent many years in the infantry and deployed fo

You said "unconstrained", but that's not what this is about. I agree that Twitter has just entered a completely unwinnable situation, and they made a mistake because nothing they do will be balanced by everyone's defin

Well, faced with all this suspicion and negativity, what incentive would anybody have to present their photos to the public? And so let's just scrap this whole incident at the airport. No pictures, no video, no UFO. There is still a su

Nah. I mean in the context of finding solicitations and submitting bids for the US government generally, life's easier selling those services versus selling something like socks or transportation or something. I mean what I said: If y

I can see where you might think I was asserting one way or the other whether Robert Bigelow was qualified for this work, and that's my fault. I have no opinion about this man specifically. I am just saying that I think this problem is

As someone who has put in well qualified bids with university consortiums for multiple US government research contracts, including DARPA and other similar groups I can confirm that this is completely false. What is the size of your organi

If you had a powerful enough computer being fed comprehensive enough sensory data, I think it would be trivial to stay in one spot relative to something else (e.g. the Earth). I mean, if you had some kind of fairly magical propulsion device

This completely. For example, if you approach the US government through a solicitation with really any half-reasonable suggestion for processing enormous amounts of data, and you'll get a contract. Go take a look through the US gover

To deny that something unexplainable has been happening in the skies is really disingenuous. We have very expert, specialist organizations whose primary responsibility it is to know what's happening in our skies. You take these two

I think the last election demonstrated very clearly that the blue team is not willing to give up power to make reforms anymore than the red team. I keep hearing people say this ("vote for the blue team because we can reform things from

This is really tangential, sorry, but I'd like to mention that the (US) military is strongly opinionated in a relatively small number of ways. Additionally, the rules are self-enforced throughout most of its structure, and almost none

Like everything else, it's been trampled on and buried deep in the mud as everyone races to the "us versus them" false dichotomy. We won't get over this ridiculous pro-big-business wealth redistribution project until peo

No. The entire history of the internet has been built and developed under NN principles. It was merely codified by the FCC in 2015. Companies regularly violated these principles in the past, and the FCC has previously intervened on behalf

After an incident in my teens in the 90s, I've thought about this at length. The only conclusion I ever seem to draw is one of more criminal activity. Yes, I can hear the inbound downvotes, but I'm just being intellectually honest

Wikipedia does in fact say that the Holocene Extinction is an ongoing event. And really, how very cool and interesting that something our ancestors hunted to extinction will be resurrected and eaten once more!

Or scopolamine. Who needs a wrench when you've got angel's trumpet growing on the fence outside? Especially when it comes to the right 25th word (or the right VeraCrypt volume password, etc).
