From @kevinsxu on twitter:

Some interesting facts about DeepSeek:

- never received/sought outside funding (thus far)

- self-funded out of a hedge fund (called High-Flyer)

- entire AI team is reportedly recruited from within China, no one who's worked at a foreign company

- founder is classmates with the founder of DJI, both studied at Zhejiang University



Surprised there aren't more votes for Stein, hoping to see a big third party bump this election


One of the goals with the non-binding vote aspect is to encourage people to fearlessly vote their first choice. They can always change it to something else at the last minute.

Then again, since this is only polling and not real voting, there's not much to lose anyway.


I imagine there has to be hundreds of unexploded devices in Lebanon. I would expect to see some of those surface over the next few weeks, or someone get stopped at an airport with one


For both attacks, I've been seeing stories of a plane, the "EC-130H Compass Call" flying in the area. It's supposedly an electronic intelligence aircraft that hasn't been seen in the sky for about a year. I don't know much more than that though


Why would you do that? Just out of vindictiveness?


How could the airing be blocked in another country?


He's a popular voice of dissent on Twitter and someone must be cracking down right now. Scott Ritter is another--he had his passport seized recently and his house raided by the FBI a week ago.


And Tulsi Gabbard recently was placed on a terror watch list.

All the Federal agencies have been weaponized. SEC only went after companies like LBRY, Inc because their founders and platform share information they don't like. The real fraudsters on Wallstreet get away with anything.


"Yes, Lake Michigan looks way bigger than this sphere, but you have to try to imagine a bubble almost 35 miles high—whereas the average depth of Lake Michigan is less than 300 feet (91 meters)"


It's hard not to view a story like this, at this particular time, as some type of coercive measure being used against someone.

Tensions in the Middle East are the highest in 20 years and suddenly new 9/11 evidence starts popping up. Can't help but raise an eyebrow


Coercive measure against whom? The US' special relationship with Saudi Arabia is well known. Numerous presidents including Bush and Trump are personal friends with the Saudi royal family. That the Saudis financed 9/11 and the American government covered that complicity up in the 9/11 commission report is an open secret.

I'm 90% convinced the only reason we went to war in Iraq (which was justified initially with specious links between Iraq and 9/11) was to take the heat off of SA because actual consequences for our bestest oil buddies killing several thousand Americans were simply not on the table, and they won't be on the table in the future.


But if they’re personal friends, then why finance a terrorist attack? I’d never treat my bestest buddies that way.


There is a large group of Saudi royalty and some of them might be financing extremist organizations with their royal money.


I was 90% convinced the invasion of Afganistan and Iraq was a build up for an invasion of Iran. But it didn't happen.


Look at mapped locations of US military bases before and after the "War on Terror". It was always about establishing a foothold in the region to threaten Iran and displace competing imperial powers - although much of that has been ceded in the last decade or so.


Iraq, Iran and North Korea. The "Axis of Evil."

I can only assume that if Iraq had gone better we would probably be through Iran and on NK by now, but I don't know. Now it looks like they're ginning us up for a war with China.


The US relaxed it's three year ban on arms sales to the Saudis just yesterday. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-lift-ban-offensive-weapons-...

(US support for arms sales to Saudis has gone back and forth for a while: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_United_States%E2%80%93Sau... )


For the replies speculating about what this is retribution for, the Saudis recently ended the petrodollar
