But I was called by Mark Zuckerberg yesterday, the day before, on this same subject. And he actually apologized, he said they'd made a mistake, etc., etc., and that they're correcting their mistake. Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things I do in a show like yours. You, your show, you know, you see it on Fox. But where you really see it is all over the place. They take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me, and if I do a good job, they're going to vote for me. They're going to vote for me, because it's not just on Fox. It's on Fox, is a smaller part of it. You're on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones. You're on, you're all over the place. You have a product. You have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out. You have to do things like your show, and other shows, and, Google, has been very bad. They've been very irresponsible. And I have a feeling that Google is going to be close to shut down. Because I don't think Congress is going to take it.

That isn't true though. Most convicted felons can't vote, but they can run for office.
I’m not an Information Theory guy, but I am aware that, regardless of how clever one might hope to be, there is a theoretical limit on how compressed any given set of information could possibly be; and this is particularly true for the lossless compression demanded by this challenge.
Quote from the article:
The skepticism is well-founded, said Karl Martin, chief technology officer of data science company Integrate.ai. Martin's PhD thesis at the University of Toronto focused on data compression and security.
Neuralink's brainwave signals are compressible at ratios of around 2 to 1 and up to 7 to 1, he said in an email. But 200 to 1 "is far beyond what we expect to be the fundamental limit of possibility."
That was a great read. Thank you.
Here’s the thing about Trademarks though:
Trademarks exist to protect consumers from confusion in the market, NOT primarily to protect the owner of the trademark.
So, like, a restaurant calling themselves McDonald’s could reasonably be assumed to be operated by the McDonald’s Corporation.
This makes trademarks distinct from both patents and copyright.
Do you honestly believe a rational consumer would mistake this design for one originating from the LAPD?

European Trade Mark Law Kur Annette and Martin Senftleben Contents Contents Search in this book CHAPTER 3 Rationales of Trade Mark Protection Get access Arrow Kur Annette, Martin Senftleben https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199680443.003.0002 Pages 1–26 Published: March 2017 Annotate icon Annotate Cite Icon Cite Permissions Icon Permissions Share Icon Share Abstract Although trade mark law is generally regarded as forming part of the larger body of intellectual property, the protection mechanism underlying its functioning is distinct from other intellectual property rights. Patents, copyright, or design rights award creative or innovative achievements with a limited period of market exclusivity thus creating artificial scarcity of the respective commodities. This grants the proprietor of such rights the possibility to raise prices above the marginal costs so as to recoup the investments made. Whether and to what extent that strategy is successful and even allows gaining a premium is determined by the market. Trade mark law coincides with that scheme insofar as it also engages market forces to determine commercial gains or losses. However, instead of creating artificial exclusivity of the goods or services offered, it provides a communication channel for entrepreneurs, so as to identify the goods or services originating from their business, distinguish them from competing goods, and transport product-related messages they want to convey to their customers. This, by reflex, provides information to the market, guiding consumer choice towards goods satisfying their demands, and helping to avoid those they do not want, at minimal search costs (see paragraph 1.08 et seq.). Thus, instead of restricting competition on the production level, trade marks are designed as an enabling tool without which competition in today’s mass markets would not function at all. ‘’’
I'll just leave this here:
https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/
Recovering From Religion is a fantastic organization which exists to help people through this sort of thing. They've got lots of catalogued resources (podcasts, articles, videos, etc.), a 24-hour helpline, online support groups, and other helpful resources.

If you're a programmer, or think you might want to be one, I highly recommend this channel. He's a savant at all sorts of low level things, quite funny and entertaining, and does a fantastic job of explaining what's going on.
It’s not just a fat or muscle thing. Those both contribute of course; fat insulates and muscle produces more heat. But the real player is the surface area to volume ratio.
A bigger person has a lot more volume than they have a bigger surface area, and since heat is lost through the skin this has a major impact.
I agree that, if the detection is accurate and correct, it could be produced through non-biological processes, but, on earth, the molecule in question is known to be produced solely by biological processes. So when you say “easily”, I must disagree.
This is very preliminary data, and we shouldn’t get overexcited about the possible implications of this discovery, but I think it’s fascinating.
I just finished reading every last word of the indictment. Interesting read. Trump and several of his co-conspirators are absolutely fucked (IMHO; I'm no lawyer).
When I got to the end of the document I noticed a particularly poetic coincidence: "45". As in, forty-five pages. President Forty-Five, the worst president this country has ever seen, and the first nail in his treasonous and metaphorical coffin ends with a sort of signature from the Defendent himself... 45.

This is similar to what kept coming to mind while listening to it last night:
“This is a former POTUS and the richest guy on the planet, and they’re both so… dumb”.
Blows my damn mind man.
