News reports in the past couple weeks have continued to say that the Mueller report is going to be ending in the coming days (though who knows if this is true, as it's been said for sometime now) We do know that this has to go to Attorney General (William Barr), and then it will go through some sort of confidentially screenings, then it will be sent to Congress and then if William Barr wants it to be sent (with maybe more confidentially screenings) -- it will then be shown to the people. Barr is going to without a doubt release this to the public though, as I don't seem him as a Trump crony and someone who owes anything to the administration. With the amount of pressure from Congress and the people, he's going to release this report and the people are going to see it. I personally don't think this is going to be anything, as Trump has already stated that he is confident and he wants the people to see it. It might be cautious optimism, but it is still something. What do you all think about the report, and what's going to come out of it? https://www.apnews.com/093727be24b649f7adad971e0b48878dYou know there are likely still a small minority of people that actually believe in the procedural safeguards you have described. These emanate from a concept known as the Rule of Law. Confidentiality Screenings Review by Congress Discretion of William Barr More Confidentiality Screenings Part of Fake Report released to public Here you see pure corruption and the politicalization of justice system, shrouded in the pale vestiges of the Rule of Law. A related part of this that is a colossal joke is the application of government security protocols to the matter. The average guy on the street has more integrity than the system and is more entitled to the full facts than the corrupted governments systems that would hide the facts from him. They are using security levels to classify their own corruption and keep it hidden. |

You can obviously see that he's joking when he's stating the part about Russia, he's pretty much saying that because he's being accused of being a Russian agent (and he thinks there is no proof and such, etc) so he's accusing them of the same thing that he is being accused of.
That's really it, you all have no sense of humor. Gosh.
I'm not kidding, though. Because I think it would really be cool to send the Merry Band of Mueller against the not-so-funny way-too-politically-left SNL bunch. Think about it. It would be funny. It would be the first of their shows anyone laughed at in years. |

I attended a seminar in which it talked about AI. I really enjoyed that seminar in which we thought that AI could be the solution in the overgrowing pollution, in climate change. I think that AI could be a threat and at the same time, AI could be helpful to humanity. I think it's good for us to have AI on our side since it can bring a better world for us. Right now we are really hurting mother nature. And because of that, our suffering became worse. AI could be good for us but it needs moderation, for AI could destroy us all with domination around the globe.
AI doesn't care about your seminar, and it doesn't care what you think. It doesn't care about your ideas about climate charge, or moderation, or pollution, or being "helpful to humanity," or "hurting Mother Nature." We're not able to ask AI what it does care about, or predict it. A great short story relevant to "AI Paranoia" is Charles Stross "Antibodies." IMHO Stross's work varies, some is rather creepy others brilliant. This is the latter. http://www.baen.com/Chapters/9781625791870/9781625791870___2.htm |

....
Direct calls for violence are a crime in most parts of the world already, but law enforcement and social media are quite selective over which of these they choose to act on. Who gets to set the standards for evaluation? ....
Give that in the last week there were 25 Islamic attacks in 12 different countries, resulting in 149 killed and 91 injured, plus 2 suicide blasts, this is indeed a good question. |

It seems a fact that any astronauts going to Mars will return to Earth on a terrible health condition. Just check the description of Scott Kelly on his own words: "When I'm finally vertical, the pain in my legs is awful, and [...] it feels as though all the blood in my body is rushing to my legs, [...] they are swollen and alien stumps, not legs at all". https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/astronaut-scott-kelly-on-the-devastating-effects-of-a-year-in-space-20170922-gyn9iw.htmlAnd he just spent one year on the space station, still protected by Earth magnetic field. Imagine 18 months in deep space with 0 gravity and solar and cosmic radiation bombardments and about 3 more months on Mars waiting for the return window: https://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/venus/q2811.htmlBut when we think that from the initial crew of 237 men on the first world circumnavigation only 18 survived (a death toll of more than 92%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Magellan#Survivors) we can understand why Elon Musk doesn't seem too much concerned with the health of the first Mars astronauts. He knows he will find people willing to go and ruin their health for this historical opportunity. And he thinks that it will be worthy. But SpaceX still lacks enough money to finish the Starship and sent it to Mars on a crewed voyage. It's because of this that the news about the changing policy of NASA about using commercial rockets to go around the Moon next year can be financial decisive to SpaceX and to the Mars voyage: https://www.space.com/nasa-eyes-private-rocket-orion-moon-trip.htmlBecause if NASA decides to contract SpaceX for this (ULA is still a serious candidate, since they built the Orion capsule; but they might not have enough time to prepare their Delta IV Heavy to do the trip), they probably will jump on board for Mars too. If NASA accepted to sacrifice Scott Kelly health only for an experiment, they probably will accept even worst conditions to a few of their astronauts to be able to send them to Mars. And even if they won't, Musk will have the necessary money to go to Mars, after all the money he will receive from NASA to send its astronauts and cargo to the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway and to the Moon. This is extremely naive and frankly sort of an anthropomorphic solar system sized ego trip. It's similar to that of an individual climbing Mt Everest just to be able to say he did it, as opposed for some scientific or monetary goal. It would be like basking in glory to recreate Apollo. We've been there, done that and done a pretty good job of it. The real question is what is today's equivalent push forward equal to the Apollo program of 1970? What's required, no if ands or buts, is to create and place robotic equipment and materials production equipment on Mars and or the Moon and show that they can produce the raw materials needed to support THE JOB. The biosphere habitat is only required to be delivered or manufactured if THE JOB to be done require men on site. The question to be answered is simple. What is "THE JOB?"I know what my answer would be, but what is yours? |

Really?
Speed of computation is related to level of intelligence?
No.
I wrote that once we have a human level AI it will be much ahead of us, because one of them will be able to to on a day what millions of humans can do on the same period. And since millions of people are hard to coordinate when doing intellectual labor, the AI will be able to reach goals that millions of humans even cooperating won't. Intelligence may be defined as the capacity to gather information, elaborate models/knowledge of reality and change reality with them to reach complex goals. An human level AI will reach those goals faster than millions of us working together. If by human level AI we'll have AI with the intelligence of some of the best of humanity, is like if we had millions of Einsteins working together. Just think on the possibilities. Intelligence isn't only a qualitative capacity. Memory, speed and the capacity to handle an incredible amount of data are also a part of intelligence. A part decisive to reach goals. Alphazero managed to discover new moves on Go and Chess that all humanity never discovered on more than a thousand years. So Alphazero is intelligent, even if it completely lacks consciousness and it's just a simple AI based on Reinforcement learning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_learninghttps://medium.freecodecamp.org/an-introduction-to-reinforcement-learning-4339519de419No. This is sloppy logic coupled with imprecise terms together buttressing the initial premise. |

I'd be really happy with a Sanders vs. Trump race, since they're both anti-establishment and skeptical of the endless wars.
Can't say that Trump decisions have been very peaceful until now. Agreed that he's far less terrible than Obama kamikaze but still not what we all hope for. Anyway USA turning socialist might create the best possible country in the world. Only troubles of USA are the undless wars, the lack of welfare and the complete inhuman way of treating citizens. Without that it might become a super country  Someone from France should know, the outcome of a people's revolution is not likely what it was at first dreamed to be. |

Everyone wants to see evil people stopped, but no one ever wants to look at the blood. You want to enjoy your bacon but you don't want to slaughter the pig. You want to be free, but you don't want to hold a dangerous scary gun. Society is turning into a bunch of helpless infants begging to be put in a Earth sized playpen, and demanding any remaining adults are forced to join them so they are never reminded how infantile they are in comparison.
However if I slaughter the pig, I've got the bacon. If you want it, you'll have to meet my price for it. And you can't take it away because I've got that dangerous scary gun. Today is another great day... |

The problem is that the word is being used to describe something completely different than its definition. Its not just practice vs theory. The "practice vs theory" argument in the last post would be valid if someone attempted to remove the state, class, and money from society and it resulted in millions of deaths but we all know that isn't what happened. ....
once upon a time "automobile" described Ford Model Ts. Today it describes automobiles such as we have today. Today we use "communism" to refer to communism as it is today. Duhhh!!! |

Possibly there is an argument that this is seen in the practical implementation of communist ideals, and not in the theory. However we in the real world must deal with the practical implementation of a concept. That's the process of learning. Try something, see what happens, try something different. |

Democrats are blaming Trump in everything and claiming that he is a russian puppet and even that Trump was assigned by Putin to become a US president. We've witnessed an extremely fast degradation of most American media....
Or perhaps a rapid revealing of what it has always been... Evidence of 'what is has always been' I see nothing from the Mueller team, and it seems like there's going to be nothing that comes out of that report. If it wasn't a nothing-burger there probably would have been tons of leaks that would have been coming out of it already. Okay, late night "comedy" has been conspiring against the American conservative for years. They've ridiculed every Christian and Jew they could, never a Muslim. They've aided and abetted left wing progressives who are connected to international communist and socialist operatives. Connect the dots. Let's send the swat teams in. Mueller II. |

Its a completely illogical argument. Some bad people claimed an ideology therefore the ideology is at fault. ISIS is islam, etc etc. A lot of the people who hold these beliefs would never apply them to their own ideologies. Christians aren't ever going to be summarized as terrorists or Catholics as pedophiles.
ISIS is a tiny minority of those executing terror attacks in the name of Islam. Since, 9/11, there have been 34,741 Islamic terror attacks. In the last week, how active were Islamists? Mar 09, 2019 - Mar 15, 2019 Attacks 25 Killed 149 Injured 91 Suicide Blasts 2 Countries 12 www.thereligionofpeace.comThe reasons why Christians are not summarized as terrorists is because they are not the same.

People seem to forget, time and time again, that the crimes that Manafort was charged on (and found guilty on) charges that were completely unrelated to the Trump campaign. Headlines that say 'ex-trump chief' or something along the lines which makes the attempt to relate the two together are doing it for clicks and not for journalistic integrity. All of his crimes relate to things that happened around the years of 2010-2013. Work that was done UNRELATED to the Trump campaign. I think it's fair to entertain the argument that the Trump team may have done a bad job screening him, though I don't think him getting in trouble for a completely unrelated charge is the reason for someone to say that Trump is without a doubt a foreign agent due to this. Here's a BBC quote explaining the charges he's been found guilty on: Last week, a judge in Alexandria, Virginia, sentenced Manafort to nearly four years for hiding millions of dollars of income earned by his consulting work for pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine. Manafort was involved with the Trump campaign from March thru August of 2016. It's pretty clear that when it became apparent that he had some issues, he was removed from that job. So to me it looks like Trump did everything RIGHT. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/timeline-paul-manaforts-role-trump-campaign/story?id=50808957 The Associated Press reported Aug. 18 that Manafort's firm had lobbied in the United States on behalf of the ruling Ukrainian political party even though Manafort did not disclose his work as a foreign agent, as mandated by federal law. Aug. 19, 2016 Manafort's departure from the campaign came the next day. On Aug. 19, Trump released a statement confirming Manafort's exit and praising his work on the campaign. "This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign,” Trump said in the statement. “I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success.” |

Because during the early years of the Obama presidency, "Libertarianism," which had been historically "liberal," was redefined as "right wing." This was a way of consolidating "liberal thought" and not allowing any deviations from the orthodox view. |

....Also, cash transfers are far from communism because communism is a cashless system. ....
Why don't you correctly phrase statements such as this so that people will understand them, and not think you are not altogether there? For example ...Also, cash transfer are far from My Ideal Of Communism because In My Concept of Communism is a cashless system... Everyone would benefit. |

I still do not get the logical reason, it seems a really sick person....
That's because crazy is quite opposite of logic. It does have its own dynamics, which is why we can talk about patterns of behavior in paranoia, schizophrenia, and obsessive compulsive. |

This is exactly the response I expect the shooter intended to have. They want people to beg to have their freedoms taken from them. The shooters weapons were obtained legally. So much for gun control working.
Next I expect to see one or two small, easy to overlook media references to "the shooter was on anti-psychotic medications" and "relatives reported that he'd recently stopped taking them." Sooner or later people are going to have to wake up to this problem instead of listening to politicians who misdirect it toward firearms while raking in huge donations from Big Pharma. |

Why do you call him the president interim? I thought his 30 days had expired.
Is there anybody who could run for president? Guaido has said he will sell off everything to Washington, and that can't be good for Venezuela. I would have thought that the assets should be used to rebuild your country, and not to feed the globalist war machine.
Perhaps "someone" hasn't allowed that part of the constitution to go on? Perhaps someone usurping the power? What do you think? This "someone" and the other guy prosecuted abroad for his relation with a drug cartel must go away and this mechanism activates the exact same way. Guaidó is the President of the National Assembly, elected by popular vote, unlike the usurper in the executive who refuses to leave office and keeps an entire country hostage at gunpoint. But that time will come, sooner than later. The roadmap is: - Cease usurpation
- Transitional government
- Free elections
Those points are nonnegotiable, and must be accomplished in that exact order. PS: Just had another 20 min blackout... It's quite clear you actually know what's going on, and understand the root and systemic causes for it. |
