Top Story
- Alexandre de Moraes, flamboyantly psychotic president of Brazil's Superior Electoral Court, threatened in a series of secret orders to start arresting Twitter's employees in Brazil if they didn't enforce content bans over which they had no control.
Twitter published the secret orders and shut down its office in Brazil.
Of course, Twitter is a social network, so it is still available in Brazil. Just beyond the reach of the courts.
Take note, Terry Britain.
Tech News
- Asus is preparing next-generation X870 motherboards to go with the new Ryzen 9000 CPUs. (WCCFTech)
Do you need to upgrade your X670 board?
No. The chipsets are identical. The motherboards might have slightly different sets of features - for example, USB 4 is required on X870 boards but optional on X670 - but existing motherboards will work just fine with the new CPUs.
- Drivers who purchased hydrogen-fueled cars are suing Toyota over their own stupidity. (Yahoo)
There are only 54 locations offering hydrogen refueling in California, out of the 200 the state has promised. Why people are suing Toyota rather than the state I do not know.When he first bought his Toyota Mirai in 2022, Ryan Kiskis was a happy man. He loved the idea of applying cutting edge hydrogen fuel cell technology to environmental consciousness.
Hydrogen is a lousy fuel. Any engineer should understand that, meaning Mr Kiskis is a lousy engineer.
"It's a great car," he said. "My background is an engineer, I'm a huge automotive fan, and I felt the the world was finally catching up with what we have to do" to cut greenhouse gases.Then reality crashed in.He soon learned that hydrogen refueling stations are scarce and reliably unreliable.
After he bought the car?He learned that the state of California, which is funding the station buildout, is far behind schedule - 200 stations were supposed to be up and running by 2025, but only 54 exist.
Well, that project is doing better than the high-speed rail at least.And since Kiskis bought his car, the price of hydrogen has more than doubled, currently the equivalent of $15 a gallon of gasoline.
You would need a heart of stone not to laugh.With fueling so expensive and stations so undependable, Kiskis - who lives in Pacific Palisades and works at Google in Playa Vista
Of course he works for Google.drives a gasoline Jeep for everything but short trips around the neighborhood."I"ve got a great car that sits in the driveway," he said.
With any luck it will get stolen.
- Why you should just use Postgres, written by someone who doesn't know anything about the alternatives to Postgres. (McCue)
Using Postgres is not a bad recommendation, but the author of the article says this about MongoDB:This is because this sort of database is basically a giant distributed hash map. The only operations that work without needing to scan the entire database are lookups by partition key and scans that make use of a sort key.
It's hardly possible to be more wrong. MongoDB's indexing is remarkably flexible, letting you define indexes on arrays and sub-objects, including fields that don't even exist at the time the index is created.
- Citizen scientists working with NASA have discovered an object moving at a million miles an hour. (NASA)
They don't know what it is, but when the police catch up it's losing its license forever.
- Authors are suing Nvidia over the use of copyrighted materials in training AI. (TorrentFreak)
Nividia's defense, as far as I can tell, is that the authors are using uncopyrighted words and facts which means that Nvidia can do whatever the fuck it wants.
- Speaking of doing whatever the fuck it wants Google was threatening reviewers if they didn't favour the new Pixel phones over everything else in the universe. (The Verge)
Caught red-handed, the company said the language used in the threats "missed the mark".

The Great Attractor is a mass concentration in the Observable Universe, toward which out miniscule little corner is accelerating.
Total mass is a few to tens of quadrillion solar masses.
That number is "astronomical" in scale. We tiny little humans cannot properly conceive of it.
No matter, really. All that maters is out tiny little local slice of that, relative to our little solar system in our little galaxy. The relative velocities and accelerations therein are conceivable to us. What the whole shebang is doing to an even larger shebang is irrelevant to our puny little human sense of scale.

If you want to try to visualize just how insignificant we are in the Grand Scheme of the things relative to the Observable Universe, consider this, the Thousand Yard model of the solar system.
Place a beach ball at a point. That's the Sun. Step off so many paces, I forget, and place a little peppercorn. That's the earth. Now, for the beach ball, pace out a thousand paces, and place a little fraction of a grain of sand. That's Pluto, and you have the thousand yard model of the solar system. Jupiter is a sort of big there,maybe an orange or so at so many paces.
Now, how does that compare the the Milky Way?

Looks like I missed a good discussion of John Landis's career on the the Movie Thread last night. I've never been a super fan of him or any of his movies, except Animal House; but I knew his name as this wunderkind of H'wood in the late '70s to early '80s. The horror and humor of American Werewolf don't always fit well together. Blues Brothers is mostly car chases; the best scene is the "Rawhide" number at the honky-tonk.
Still, it's a shame to read about his aborted career.

We watched an episode of Frozen Planet yesterday. If that episode is any indication, that entire series is made entirely to push the Global Warming scam. Gorgeous scenery and animals well filmed, and then the narrator says "with these fascinating animals losing habitat because of climate change, it's our job to help reverse the course" and later on one of the film crew is interviewed and is nearly crying while saying "we can't let these animals go extinct from our actions, we have to fix this in our lifetimes so our grandchildren can see these animals" or some other similar advertisement.
It's brilliant, really, because think of how many schools probably watch those.

Let the Milky Way galaxy be the width of the continental US, pacific to atnantic. Imagine that spiral pinwheel over the US. Thickness, up and down, would be about 10 to 20 miles up and down, relative to the 3000 mile width.
Out thousand yard solar system on that scale is the size of a quarter, thrown on the ground somewhere in east Tennessee.
Now let the galaxy be itself such a quarter. Well, at the point, it gets sort of ridiculous, with many such scaling steps being required.
The Milky Way is but a little bacterium on a fly speck on the world of another little bacterium on a fly speck, etc, etc in the Observable Universe.

"The Giver" (1993) was an award winning book that made it onto many schools required reading lists and into their libraries. Then the leftists discovered they didn't like their children being exposed to a dystopian novel about a society run by a woman where child killing is accepted, even required in some circumstances.
In the novel, the society has taken away pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives.

I remember reading in the early '80s, maybe before that, about the notion that humans once lived in a matriarchal society with no war or strife, and then The Patriarchy took over and everything went downhill. I blinked at that. Everything I'd ever read in or been taught about history (real history) contradicted it. Then I realized they could never point to any specific country or society or culture that had done the matriarchal thing. Conclusion: panda feathers.
As Camille Paglia said: "If women had run society from the beginning, we'd all still be living in grass huts."

Goodness yes. We've been married for decades. Best decision of my life. She's as beautiful as the day I met her and brings joy to our home, as well as being a fine example of a wife and mother to the offspring. She's intelligent and well-spoken and I value her opinion on matters and take her suggestions into account when I have to make decisions.

If men as a whole were uniformly screwing up in a significant and predictable way I'd want the women to begin noticing and trying to help draw attention to it, too.

It's the entire MO of Critical Everything Theory.
They don't actually want some mythical DEI. They want universalized incompetence so that everything Clowards into a pile of Pivenliness, and they want to use membership in protected neo-proletariat classes (race, sex, sexual orientation etc etc etc) as a memetically, viscerally understood shield against criticism of their many engineered failures.
Women, non-whites, gays, none of these "Not Straight WASP Male" categories of Human are inherently better or worse than any other. But the worst *are* hand selected for high profile positions to ensure that people start to think they might actually be.

The hydrogen car guy: He still has his Virtue!
There was a website I used to go that had a guy covered the auto industry. His Motorsports insight was always pretty ranty. He pushed hydrogen as an option and that the Indy 500 should be using hydrogen powered cars. I stopped going over there not because of that but of TDS. He had it Bad. Trump broke the guy.

Fun place. The Yorktown is nearby and worth a visit if you're not already scheduled. Fort Sumter, too, although I enjoyed the Yorktown more.
There's some sort of promenade walk there that was fun, too, but it was getting pretty tacky 20 years ago so I can only imagine what it's like now. Which could be part of the appeal, I guess.

It's because we don't know the 1-way speed of light.
We know the 2-way speed of light in a vacuum.
The 1-way speed of light is impossible to measure. What we use as the speed of light is an accepted "convention." Like which side of the road to drive on. It's known as the Einstein Syncrony Convention.
It works in all the relativity equations. But it's not the only one that does.

The reviewer loved the car, but he had one big problem; getting it fiueled. He was in CA and had the same problem, few refueling stations and out of those many were out of order or hydrogen. Thankfully a fill-up lasts awhile, like a few weeks, but he was getting serious range anxiety whenever he had to refuel.
I think, if they wanted to make hydrogen vehicles work, which they shouldn’t, but if they did the best solution would be the way industrial gases and propane tanks and handled in the U.S.
Instead of having to pull up to a pump and fill up using a hose & nozzle, you just standardize tanks the size of small Scuba tanks. That way you could just install a new tank into the car, and return the empty, just like we do with propane tanks across the country.
It’d be much easier logistically and safer than what’s being done currently.

The two main problems are that the "scientists" who get all the press (thank you press and institutions of higher indoctrination) refuse to accept anything but a naturalistic cause for the existence of the physical world and...
Those who, for whatever reason, want to try and make God's Word fit with what the "mainstream science" tries to force as facts.

Granted, there are theologically liberal denominations that are clearly apostate (eg PC-USA, Methodists, Unitarians, etc.) and I don't consider them Christian in any measurable sense.
And there is a tiny segment of Evangelicals who give off some Christian-like vibes (albeit far more traits and teachings of the American Religion than orthodoxy)
If you were to use the religious expression of the Christians in the US two hundred years ago as measure, would you agree that the salt has lost its flavor?

The NASA Parker Solar Probe has become the fastest human-made object ever recorded — again.
On Sept. 27, the probe reached a blistering 394,736 mph/ (635,266 km/h) as it swooped close to the sun's surface, thanks to a little gravity assistance from a close flyby of Venus on Aug. 21. . With this blistering approach to the sun, the probe smashed its own previous speed record of 364,660 mph (586,863 kmh), set in Nov. 2021.

With respect to Christians being disciples, missionaries and teachers of the faith in obedience to Matthew 28:19-20, Francis Shaeffer is correct and the American expression of the Church has largely followed the Line of Despair and is emulating and thus not much different than the secular society in which it moves.
Basically we are the Corinthians that St Paul was rebuking in Corinthians 1.
There are denominations, largely outside the Western nations world that put us to shame. (thinking of central Africa and parts of SE Asia)

Welcome to Discipline or Disaster Week in Chicago!
I'm betting on Discipline since the Democrats have proven they can turn their riots, vandalism, looting and murder fests on and off like a faucet.
Buuuuuut, on the off-chance that the lunatics, feckless trust fund babies, communists, and foreign noodle-dicks that instead of going home and actually fighting for whatever lame-ass cause they espouse for their real countries riot and destroy and who knows? invade the DNC auditorium itself, and Disaster is the order of the day-

The early church was often divided on the fundamentals of worship. That has changed somewhat over the years but it still exists. What Paul is talking about in Corinthians 1 is, for lack of a better phrase, that we should rally around Christ and the truth, not the individual (exempli gratia “I follow Paul, I follow Apollos…
He follows up by saying;
“ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.”
In that, Paul somewhat provides the essentials to worshipping Christ. John does the same by relating to us the teachings of Jesus, and Christ commands us throughout the Gospels on the Truth. That’s why we can clearly pick out in the end who are apostates and who is teaching the Truth. YMMV

Speaking of:
We used to call ourselves the 'moral majority' or even the 'silent majority' but in times of highly questionable elections it's tough to consider, but we wave have lost the majority part.
We'll see. I like Rasmussen's polling methodology, it looks solid and as random as possible and in years past has been in the top five most accurate pollsters and from their results its look like a complete (W) for Trump.
