   I was thinking if it's still in use, presumably it would not get released? Upon thinking about this a little more, it's possible that a project was successful, but it became public (like the atomic bombs) or it is just obsolete an

   This is an unpopular opinion here, but this article clearly suffers from reporting bias (successful projects don't get declassified) and selection bias (they found ~5 unethical/failed projects out of how many in CIA history)? Ther

   Sure, but implying she is a crackpot for investigating what are presumably extensions of special relativity is too far. I'm not familiar with her research, but I very much doubt she proposes disregarding special relativity all together

   I would dispute that the comment in question said that, but now it is gone (deleted?). Your view is quite reasonable, the original post's was not.

   Special relativity is an article of faith now? So far it has survived all experimental tests, that doesn't mean it is guaranteed to do so in the future

   That seems to be what the person you're responding to is proposing. I think they realize this is not currently the law...

   Require experimental analysis to be pre-registered? That is how it's done in particle physics, and it works well.

   Not if the scientists involved are p-hacking. Or, less harmfully, publishing null results.

    It proves that the judges were just using the recommendation of a sommelier rather than actually judging the quality of the wine?

    There has been foreign promoted disinformation since at least the Cold War. Newspapers and Hollywood have propagated conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination that can be traced to soviet disinformation. There is so much noise online

    Facebook alone didn't tip the 2016 election. What about the New York Times critical treatment of Hillary? What about James Comey? This post is misinformation.

    I don't know if we should hold out Trump as the standard to judge other behavior. Trump saying that was also wrong, but that is off topic.

    I didn't say representative, that's a misleading paraphrase. I said representative of the government. Those can be police officers, FBI agents, or bureaucrats making demands of private companies.

    "dude who used a swear word"? You left a bit out here. He is a representative of the government demanding that a private company censor speech supporting policies it opposes and speech about the president's family among other

    GPT is not a reality simulator. It is just picking the most likely response to an ambiguous question. All you're saying is that the distribution produced by the randomness in GPT doesn't match the true distribution. It's neve

    I'd wager there are many tech companies with offices in the EU that have data on EU citizens.

    Are you arguing that selective enforcement of the law is a good thing? Why just this one company? Google and many other large companies are also apparently in violation.

    Doesn't this mean any US company with data on EU users is technically in violation?

    I'm not fixated on coffee? I said eating out every day and coffee as two arbitrary examples. I think most people, definitely myself, find happiness in simplicity. Mindlessly consuming more and more luxury items as you progress in your

    I mean, what do you expect? If you work in a high paying job, it's tempting to start increasing your lifestyle spend (eating out every night etc). If you want to retire early you have to save that money, which means making coffee at ho

    But this is just wordplay. You are pressuring them by coopting the register of social justice in this way. There's nothing wrong with people having preferences in dating.
