~28,000 Gaza children murdered in 2 years by Israeli gov. About 68,000 people are officially confirmed killed. 70% of all casualties are women and children. "Western liberal democracies", especially the US gov, are up to their necks in blood, as usual. Microsoft is no different, its only concern is to avoid legal trouble and uphold the facade of legal obligation, otherwise business as usual with Israeli gov. In any category of violence, the US gov, is the undisputed record holder since WW2 - wars of aggression started, proxy wars started, democracies overthrown, dictatorships established, terrorist groups created, funded and armed, resources plundered, economies impoverished, tens of millions of civilians displaced, maimed and murdered. US citizens have a duty to learn about the actual history of their country, and the elite uni-party mafia criminals in charge of it, not just what is shown to them on CNN, FOX, NYT, WSJ, etc. Read books by Michael Parenti, like, Face of Imperialism, as a starting point.
thats a paradoxical opinion. somebody did something bad therefore their opinion isnt worth discussing. you stated your opinion, therefore you believe its worth discussing. ever do anything bad before?
for what its worth i could spend a few thousand words discussing why this man is evil for supporting genocide, and i could also spend a few thousand words discussing why this man is good for protesting against wanton war. these are both true simultaneously.
Lucky you, since I know you love links, here’s the rat-bag’s own site[1].
> Specifically, refugees questioned by Westerners or Thais have a vested interest in reporting atrocities on the part of Cambodian revolutionaries, an obvious fact that no serious reporter will fail to take into account.
There are several other quotes where he implies refugees are lying. And if you’re good at digging through library archives there’s a recording of him saying it more directly in an interview some time around 1977.
Chomsky’s a huge piece of shit and carried water for the Khmer Rouge.
This is throat clearing. He very specifically says the refugees are telling the Thai and US interviewers what they want to hear (e.g. lying). He says elsewhere in the article that reports of local party leaders executing people displaced from cities are unfounded. He bends over backwards in several places to discount refugee accounts.
> While these reports must be considered seriously, care and caution are necessary.
I'd also point out that when the killing fields were discovered, he refused to acknowledge that the early reports from refugees were correct. So he never took them seriously. Why carry water for this piece of shit? He also denied that Serbs were carrying out massacres in the Balkans. His whole thing has always been covering for the crimes of any anti-Western scumbag.

I'm not well versed on developments in blockchain tech. Could someone here help explain whether this is good news and which specific problems, if any, would this technology help solve. For example, could this be applied to provide secure online voting systems? I like that proof of work protocols are inherently safe as long as majority computing power is 'good'. Could such decentralized security technologies replace the currently centralized ones completely, for example, certificate authorities? Please pardon my ignorance, I'm eager to learn.
I think people here will appreciate the following information. To understand fat production, I recommend everyone research the way a liver metabolizes sugar, and its connection to fiber - it is most important. Long story short, the liver metabolizes excess sugar into fat cells when there is not enough fiber. Presence of fiber allows excess sugar to be broken down into waste which leaves the body, avoiding production of fat cells. In essence, this is why eating a bag of apples is healthy while eating just the sugar from the same amount of apples is not. Consuming adequate amounts of fiber is key to healthy sugar consumption. If you noticed, fat people tend to not eat much fiber. The smaller the ratio of fiber to sugar the fatter you are. Simply focusing on increasing fiber consumption leads to much better health because you naturally begin to consume more vegetables and fruits which also have the nutrients. Additionally, and this is perhaps the most understated health fact. The importance of pH balance. The body depends and thrives when the environment is alkaline, and dies when it's acidic. Although acidic foods are also healthy, it's important to eat more alkaline foods than acidic. And the pH is determine only after the body digests the food. This is why for example lemons are actually one of the most alkaline foods. Especially when you're sick, eating alkaline vs acidic foods is the best way to regain immune system strength and health.

Obviously government should not be allowed such power. Simply because it cannot be trusted. Everyone knows it will use this backdoor against everyone without limit. And everyone knows the lengths to which the US will go to spy on their people and everyone else. The fact that this request is being made is further evidence of the government's intentional malevolence. This behavior should not come as a surprise anymore. I mean any reasonable person by now knows what to expect from US government.
you know I recently interviewed at a place I was even sort of interested in and they turned me down because they said they thought I wasn't really interested, and I didn't even ask them anything like this question. Imagine if I had!
It's good to see this happen. In this day and age i think all of us and especially scientists should be more morally conscious about the ethical implications of their work and not sell themselves when their research and tech are financed by war money or when their work becomes intellectual property of companies that deal in war. It's a double edged sword I know, but it's such a great shame. End rant.
