Yes, Tor was developed by the US Government for US spies in Russia.

GPS was developed by the US Government.

RSA was classified by the US Government.

Lots of other stuff is also connected to the US government.

The title is misleading.


It's quite a bit more inclusive than that [1] and IQT is just a small piece of it. There are endless programs coming out of Stanford SRI and Harvard that get tested by the public and have dual use civilian and DoD.

Now I am in a debate.

Is this bad because he is trying to associate more things with the USA, or good because America is two whole continent where Mexico is just a country.


If somehow the name were to be changed I think your later point wouldn’t make much sense. It would be associated with the United States of America, not North or South America or even “America” if it referred to both continents. Nobody in Belize or Paraguay or Cuba is under the impression that renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is for hemispheric unity…

I’m surprised he isn’t trying to name it the Gulf of Texas or the Gulf of Florida. Personally I think the Gulf of Ohio has a nice ring to it. We have already taken over Pasadena, California and the entire state of South Carolina as things currently stand.


Gulf of Trump have better change than Texas or Ohio.


You’re not wrong but let’s not give anyone any awful ideas…

Google News works decent.

My problem is that very few media are right leaning, so bias meditation via counterweight is impossible.


thank you

Did you say that just so we could imagine the world where you published it earlier?

Thanks anyway, and nice site!


I though he would try to net profit through probability by requesting to regenerate the file and hope to get a compressible one in at least 5000/100=50 times. (Though I don't think that would work.)

Why exactly not?

Exactly the same problems as with shipping container homes.
