   What we need is more cut taxes and spend Republicans. That's sustainable.

   Fair enough. I guess I just reject the premise that BLM twitter comments that could be considered misinformation aren't analysed by the people who come across them. Furthermore you can see far right disinformation on Twitter and Facebo

   Whataboutism isn't productive. Best to have conversations about the topic at hand or create a new one if you want to bemoan BLM twitter posts.

   Have a look at the comments regarding the recent Crypto AG story here. There's some insinuation in there.

   Don't know who they are but there's some speculation that Yubico is Crypto AG like.

    Thanks for the info. I had read it was becoming mandatory in the US in 2020. That was in the context of Australian regulations where aircraft still aren't forced to have ADS-B.

    Correction Context: As of the beginning of 2020 all aircraft in the United States are required to have ADS-B out capability.

    I expect 95% of these projects will never reach orbit. Here's something tangentially related. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuGSTn_F0FE

    Telsa model 3s act as boats during floods. Have a look at youtube, there are numerous videos of people stranded in their engine flooded car and a Tesla floats right by.

    Do they spend much time talking about Armadillo and/or rocketry? I'm curious to hear Carmack talk about those topics but I'm not sure I want to wade through 2 1/2 hours of Rogan if he doesn't delve into rocketry.

    This argument was also used during Apollo and it's a false argument. If NASA's budget (then or now) was re-appropriated to combating homelessness around the world it wouldn't even begin to make a dent. Even for US only based

    And his court date is already set. That's what confused me regarding the raids; the AFP already knew who the leaker was before conducting the raid on the ABC. Given that I'm a bit confused as to why the AFP needed to raid the ABC

    And isn't that because Swedish law doesn't allow charges to be laid until after an interview occurs?

    Australia didn't receive the extradition request; the UK did. Whilst Assange is an Australian citizen the extradition request from the US to the UK doesn't involve Australia directly.

    Let's not forget that Manning's sentence was commuted by Obama (which technically isn't a pardon) in part because Assange stated on twitter that if Obama granted Chelsea clemency then he'd submit himself to US extraditio

    Exactly. If people actually read the initial and subsequent indictments against Assange they'd realise he was actively encouraging and assisting Chelsea Manning to attempt to further compromise DoD databases beyond Chelsea's level

    I don't. I expect to make this distinction no matter where I consume media. If anything the Internet is even worse though as the lines are much less well defined.

    So by this logic all parents of young children are more susceptible to “unethical and deviant” behaviour? I'm not convinced.
