Isn't it true we've only tested superconducting materials at very low temps? Perhaps their robustness falls tremendously when not hundreds of degrees in the negative

I've only seen one picture of an alleged successful replication yet: https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685731177523449856

If you scroll far enough he says he can't purchase Red Phosphorus without a DEA license or waiting weeks for a permit

I believe nowadays they have automatic sprays for bakery smells, I saw a documentary about it like 10 years ago

Facebook has had a better service since 2014, RSS feeds aren't rocket science.

It's crazy the number of people on HN somehow claiming that Twitter is this well run and well functioning tech company now that bad rocket man took the reigns and decided to lay off everyone... Isn't it a consensus among tech people that Twitter is the absolute worst tech company?

In my experience, Russian propaganda is more about extrapolating things well out of order rather than fabricating fake news. They also omit facts against their side, but that's a constant for mass media.

Russian sources love to speak of the enemy in general as holder of a certain ideology. They also like to repeat that civilian casualties and destroyed buildings are unilaterally caused by the other side, mostly by bombing the places they retreat from.

The first claim is obviously wrong since Ukrainians are just defending themselves. I've only heard proof of the second from eyewitness testimonies, yet I've seen real footage of Russian tanks firing at 20-story buildings and hysterical volunteers taking turns at blasting RPGs in empty, silent streets.

I've noticed that every source of information I find particularly trustworthy and meaningful ends up getting corrupt and re-purposed for malicious intent.

For instance, I strongly believe that the process of corrupting Wikipedia has started and in a few years time we'll read articles about how troll farms altered a massive number of wiki articles about certain topics to revise historical facts.

Yeah there's a months-old video from the Russian MoD showing the burying process at that exact site in Izyum, I don't think there's much to it

Bucha though, I've seen drone footage of civilians getting executed by Russian BMPs.

You could argue the systematicity of that process, but Russia's occupation west of Kyiv undeniably caused a large number of civilian casualties

It's real, but it's only used for its anti-Russia symbolism. It's my understanding that they don't actually adhere to other parts of the ideology.

Per Wikipedia, the 2019 law says "All schools and universities are required to teach in Ukrainian". I don't know how Politifact managed to find the opposite of that statement

If you want to look more into the Russian equivalent of those symbol-wearing soldiers, the Russian soldier in the second link also wears a patch belonging to the 'Rusich DShRG' group

I believe they're referring to this removed thread that was on the Reddit frontpage 2-3 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/xdgv20/chechen_and_uk...

The thread has over 33k upvotes but has since then been removed by its author. You can find the original image online by looking up the url on webarchives.

The image shows mercenary fighters holding flags in front of a landmark. There are two Chechen flags, one flag depicting a skull associated with a certain ideology and one censored flag.

Well in theory I'd agree with you, but in practice your assertion that people would vote the same party nationally and at the EU level is demonstrably false

There's actually a way (though it won't happen).

Setting up a system that invades privacy to catch crimes is bad because once you have that system, all you need is for your government to criminalize good things to reach a dystopia.

In order to avoid that, you'd have to actually run that dystopia, but dramatically and at a small scale.

A great example could be a US state where abortion is illegal and gives actual jail time (I think that's a thing, not sure). You have one of those states put into law that online services must scan for the word "abort" then actually find and put women that had illegal abortions to jail over this.

If you did that, you might get the congress to make digital privacy a protected right at the national level.

Your argument does not stand with e.g. France.

In France, there's an election for each. One for national parliament seats, one for EU parliament seats.

In the last decade, the national elections were usually won by center-left (Macron's party) while the EU ones were won by the far-right (Le Pen even has a seat at the EU parliament AFAIK)

Many creators have noticed that YouTube's recommendation algorithm is heavily skewed to favor videos with monetization enabled. I wouldn't be surprised if Google Search's algorithm was hard coded to favor websites using AdSense.
