I mean this is the beginning of what seems like a massive, probably international effort, to figure out what happened and who's responsible. Russia is known to be involved in state sponsored cyber intrusions, so it's natural the initial speculation would gravitate in their direction; But it could very well be from within the US borders, or some other nation entirely. That's what the investigation(s) will try to figure out.
From now until that day, I will simply assume nothing.
This could be seen as setting the stage for something worse down the line... Come the week before inauguration day, and Biden still hasn't "proven" (whatever proven means to Trump anyway) the 80M votes... what will Trump do? refuse to leave because his stipulation wasn't met?
Right, I now see that this Tweet could be interpreted as a veiled threat; I just think it's far more likely that Trump misunderstands (or is lying about) the law. Especially given his recent remarks that he would leave if the electoral college votes for Biden.
Single Point of Failure... is a phrase we'll be hearing and conversing about a lot more in the coming years.
As SaaS, Cloud Providers, and Other Tech companies solidify their necessity for the function of everything else... aka centralization around 4-5 tech companies which their infrastructure literally runs everything else.
It only stands to make us more and more vulnerable as a society.
It's like having one power station powering the entire electrical grid, monumentally stupid.
He lied about not being able to share the Biden Laptop / NYPost article. Ted Cruz tweeted the allegation with a screenshot of him trying after the first hearing.
all they're doing is curating a list for people to read. It's like those DMCA lists of free movie sites. They literally provide you with a trove of urls to watch free movies lol
The fact they didn't let the fetus grow really fucking sucks. Sure, ethics most definitely has its name etched on the science stone.
But people WILL without a shred of doubt recreate this experiment, and they most likely won't be as ethically inclined as the nice folks behind this paper.
The point am trying to make here is that we need to be prepared to deal with how a discovery like could influence our future. The best way to do that is to know what expect with enough time ahead to react.
And yeah sure people will say this is just an excuse for morbidly curious people like me to simply see what happens, and while I'm literally brimming in desire to know myself, theres a bigger picture, bearing witness is just a perk:)
Killing animals off after a sufficient time period is common in lab testing (and even enforced). They probably had to get approval for the 100 days and most likely wouldn’t be allowed to make any decisions regarding the matter themselves. That being said, most labs in the US have to abide by the same guidelines and if this does happen again in a setting where the scientists can choose an arbitrary age to let the fetus live it probably won’t be in the US
I have no idea what the process is for other countries like Germany in Japan but I’d like to think they’re similar.
Let's all just agree that if that lil smart monkey was born, nobody's allowed to kill it until it dies a ripe old age of natural causes, and we hopefully teach it to play Winston in Overwatch.
Otherwise, that's way too close to murder - thank you very much.
From now until that day, I will simply assume nothing.
