The needs of a few never outweigh the needs of the many. Shutting down videos to millions of potential viewers because the recorders did not have the time nor money to produce transcripts, gains nothing / takes away everything. If thin

The title tries to make it seem as this is completely non-political, yet the entire body of the article is basically anti-Trump rhetoric. So here is another human psyche detail - when someone removes the actual details (such as what these 3

These corporations are huge, with many many employees (over 30 thousand just at Goldman Sachs). Just because you used to work for Goldman in the past, does not mean you are a current and future supporter of Goldman. Nor does it mean that yo

This is just virtue signaling against Trump by those that don't know they are being played. None of these people and companies (and media outlets) said anything when Obama was doing much worse, such as blowing up entire countries. Yet

In the case of a hot war between the US and Russia, the first victims (of mushroom clouds) will be every single EU NATO member that hosts US bases and US nuclear weapons. So I'm not quite sure what the gain is for those members as they

Blowing up 1 or more satellites will also increase the amount of orbital debris floating around. There is already something near 1 million pieces of space junk being actively tracked to avoid possible collisions with existing space vehicles

Without self-determination, you have no future . The historic record is full of examples of this. Even if you survive, it does not matter - because you become an invalid in your own home.

Removing self-determination is extermination.

I'm also not sure what you mean... Bound electrons (in an orbital) can only have 1 of 2 quantum "spin" states - which is in relation to the nucleus and/or the magnetic field. Up or down. With the spin-up electron havin

Isn't there some serious issues with the original Bell's tests - such as performing a post-selection of events (from the data-set) to remove all events that did not match the expectations of the experiment (...95% of the data was

I did, and it states that electrons can hold one of two spin values. But within the mathematical framework of QM , that value is unknown before measurement - so it is ambiguous - which is interpreted (by QM) as a possible superposition o

Going over it, it looks like the experiment found that spin is discrete, either -1/2 or +1/2. And nothing in between.

> By applying a magnetic field, this spin points up, down, or simultaneously points both up and down to form a qubit. Is there any real physical evidence that an electron can be both states at the same time, outside the mathematical f

I haven't been following this, but are you saying that Wikileaks asked for this to happen? Because what I read in the tweet pretty much says - we don't want this, please stop.

Being a "climate change denier" can mean almost anything today. Such as that you believe that climate is changing not because of CO2 levels but rather due to other atmospheric gases or pollutants, or the sun's emissions, etc.
