I don't think NSA meddles in politics. CIA sure. NSA is more about communications, hacking, signal intelligence and spying in general. They give you the information. If you want to do dirty stuff with that info, the CIA is there for that.

Quite impressive how they folded. UAE bluff was called spectacularly and I think that, in the future, looking back, that event might mark the beginning of the end of their geopolitical ambitions.

Someone leaked nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union. What are the chances that someone leaks the "weights" of a (near-)singularity model?

"All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection"

Salt is engineers' kryotonite.

Most crime is conducted in fiat money.

Maybe they were on a slight up slope. If the headlights were auto leveling it will fix many of the issues people complain about.

If you say person X thought Y was true, ask yourself if Y was true would you accept it? If the answer is no you are not ready for this kind of discussion.

Maybe a better law: check id, you are not allowed to take from any gambler more than 10 bets a year and no bet can be over 1k.

For big gamblers, we can have "qualified gamblers" rules like we do for qualified investors.

Funny how we don't let average people invest in some stuff but we let them gamble.

For offshore gambling pursue them aggressively if they serve US clients.

That's one way to nerf them, force them to fight in situations they would never find themselves in.

In real life, if they can't neutralize the threat in BVR they just turn around and run before getting in range.

Their stealth allows them to get the enemy in range before the enemy has them in range. It's like a boxer with a long reach: jab and move.

Every year new engineers and enthusiasts need to be exposed to cutting edge technologies through hands-on introductions like these.

Didn't a hedge fund publish data encrypted with homomorphic encryption to run an open competition to see how can build the best trading AI. The encryption allow them to keep the sensitive data private.

How much money he had when he was caught? How much you profited usually makes a difference in sentencing.
