Bingo. Further, there are some questions which I don’t the opinions of people from particular countries. If I want opinions to a some moral dilemma, I would probably be inclined to go against the verdict if all or most of the jurors happened to come from Israeli’s.
> The founders of CrowdStrike—George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston—do not have publicly documented personal connections to Israel. That's the first claim of yours I faield to verify so I won't bother with the rest.
I realize reading is a very difficult skill to master, but maybe -- just maybe -- you couldn't verify that "claim" because I never made it.
"Israel literally owned Congress" - Donald Trump [1]
There has been a full and total coup of Zionist influence peddles over over the United States government. This is the lens in which you should look at this deal.
The Department of Education is on the verge of being abolished, and the remaining skeleton staff have been redirected to investigate cases of "antisemitism". [2]
The administration is weaponizing 'antisemitism' to unleash once unthinkable retributions against opponents of the State of Israel. The Zionist lobby is using the full levers of the US government to direct their wrath against opponents, and no one is being spared, not universities, students and even entire nations.
It would be naive to think the leadership at Alphabet are unaware of that good things happen when you be good to Zionists.
It's really a shame really, from 'Don't be Evil' to funding decades more years of 'Israeli Americans' using this wealth to funnel to AIPAC and other nefarious political causes. [3]

Let me guess, when Trump says some crazy exaggeration you will immediately believe him if it sheds a bad light on Israel - but only then. Otherwise you wouldn't believe him because he's a pathological liar right?
The silly thing is he said it was a decade ago and today its the exact opposite, so that doesn't agree with what you said at all.
China supposedly made a breakthrough in battery technology, what does that have to do with lithium pollution in China? You sound bitter about China’s progress.
Sadly, all reports on this paper have been removed from every media in China in a single night. Academics are only allowed to be discussed among academics.
It's true that I can't find any reporting on Baidu Xinwen. I can definitely understand why, as there's a real risk of causing potentially unjustified panic (scientific reporting and literacy isn't great globally). More research is needed before action.
Fascinating that it's not a complete information blackout, but just disseminated on a need to know basis. It's kind of an interesting social contract really.
It’s notable there’s no mention of what exactly the “disinformation” is. Apparently having the view that US/Ukraine provoked the Russian invasion by insisting they can join NATO and possibility of hosting nuclear weapons is “Russian propaganda”. It definitely is a Russian talking point but that doesn’t inherently make it false. Russia also claims that fossil fuels cause climate that doesn’t mean it’s propaganda either. Just like claims of “antisemitism” it’s hard to know whether these claims are in fact true without exactly knowing what was said.
> These range from claims that the U.S. operates secret bioweapons labs in Ukraine to fabricated narratives pushed by U.S. fugitive turned Kremlin propagandist John Mark Dougan claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky misused U.S. military aid to amass a personal fortune. (More on this below.)
I didn’t finish reading that article, but it’s inevitable every LLM will be infected with all types of propaganda, I don’t understand the focus on “Russian propaganda” when there’s no evidence it’s actually widespread.
The accountants want to say the item's book value is now $0 (because they can use the loss for a tax break). Destroying the item neatly proves this claim to any auditors, because if the wasn't actually worthless, it is now.
If there is any suggestion that the item should be donated, then it wasn't worthless. It has some value to someone.
This doesn't make donating it impossible. The accountants would just have to update the items book value to its current real value first (they can still count this decrease as a loss). But how do you work out the current real value of the item? You need documentation justifying this new book value that's good enough to satisfy any auditors, and such documentation might be expensive.
I believe most tax codes even allow you to claim the real value of the donated item as loss (as long as it's a registered charity), so the overall tax break should be identical to destroying the item. But the extra time and paperwork makes it much more appealing and cheaper to just take the simple option of just destroying the item, especially when the accounting department is short staffed.
I don't know these particulars, but a school I'm involved with is required to destroy unneeded computers, rather than selling them or giving them to students/parents because the government grant requires that.
I think the idea is to make sure there's no fraud with school funneling free computers (or making money by selling them), but the actual result seems pretty terrible.
> Average age of engineers and scientists in the Manhattan Project was 25.
The youngest scientist or engineer was Richard Feynman who was 27 years old at the time.
Average age of scientists/engineers on the Manhattan Project was closer to 37.
25 sounds so absurd I don’t know how you didn’t double check your sources. The rest of your post makes some claims about NASA but stopped reading as it has to be BS as well.
