    Capitalism: Biggest search engine in Mordor is optimizing.. support
    • Following record profits top management did the following:

      1. In 2020 they restructured support service (includes their ads network and all else!)
      2. Most people are moved to contract and lot of position is offered to subcontractors (to hire anyone who want to work for extra cheap)
      3. Of course, top management cut payment with such approach by 2-5 times depending on position
      4. Most of savings went to investors and management bonuses
      5. Quality of support dropped to below horrible (before it was just horrible), as all people who knew something had left
      6. Top management added new secret internal regulations, so now any of their clients can't get information on why their robot decided to do something
      7. Lot of people think it is because they do not know themselves :-) But actually NN and other algorithms usually output fuzzy reason. Issue is that robots can't provide any proof or real things to explain decision (as they actually don't have them, it is just bad NN).

      If you see any similarity - yes, it is same as Google, Google just is 2-3 steps ahead, as such thing as same (even if stupid!) human support exist only on Red Book paper pages, not in real Google.

    Good quote: Ernesto Che Guevara on NEP and Chinese Socialism
    • NEP is one of the biggest steps back taken by the USSR; it was not for nothing that Lenin compared it to the Brest Peace. The decision was extremely difficult and, judging by the doubts that tormented Lenin's soul in the last years of his life, if he had lived for a few more years, he would have rectified the most dangerous consequences of this decision. But his successors did not see this danger, and so a huge Trojan horse appeared in the construction of socialism - a direct material interest, as the main economic lever. The NEP took shape, not being directed against small-scale commodity production, but as an embodiment of the requirements of this production

      Everything stems from an erroneous concept - the desire to build socialism from the elements of capitalism, without changing the latter in essence. This leads to the creation of a hybrid system that is bewildering; moreover, into a dead end, hardly noticeable, which forces us to make more and more concessions to the state of economic methods, i.e. forces to retreat.

      My thesis is that the changes that took place in connection with the NEP affected the life of Soviet society so deeply that they left an imprint on the entire subsequent stage of its history. And the results of this are discouraging: the capitalist superstructure in an ever more distinct form influences production relations, and the conflicts caused by the "hybridization" that the NEP designated, are being resolved today in favor of the superstructure; there is a return to capitalism.

      Ernesto Che Guevara

      Situation in USSR had been much better, as it did not have any billionaires and openly capitalist factories like China.

      Chinese elite more and more will rely on censorship and pure force despite capitalist elements are rising their head each day, they become stronger.

    Mordor: Next warning concerning US Moon hoax
    • In honor of the 55th anniversary of the completion of the flight of the spacecraft "Kosmos-110", on board which flew animals, the state corporation "Roscosmos" released declassified archival materials on March 16.

      Among the declassified files are photos and videos, letters, minutes of commission meetings, a flight mission, a medical research program and other materials.

      “Fifty-five years ago, on March 16, 1966, the 22-day flight of the Kosmos-110 satellite with four-legged“ cosmonauts ”on board - the dogs Veterok and Ugolyok - completed the Soviet spacecraft program Voskhod. The last of the "Sunrise" set a world record for the height and duration of the stay of living beings in space, "- said on the website of" Roskosmos ".

      It is noted that the --flight was supposed to show how a living organism is affected by being in the radiation belt of the earth**. In addition, the flights tested life support systems for future manned expeditions.

      In "Roskosmos" they said that two dogs were selected for the flight, they were seated in sealed containers with a given gas environment, sensors were put on them, which also kept the dogs from moving. The dogs were fed directly through the stomach.

      It is noted that the journey greatly weakened the dogs: they lost weight, got tired quickly, preferred to lie down and drank a lot.

      As a result of exposure to cosmic radiation, their hair thinned and crawled out in shreds. However, after three days they came to their senses, and after a few weeks they fully recovered.” - added Roscosmos.

      During Lunar hoax US had absolutely no idea about radiation and even about weakening of the body during usual orbital flights. Hence all their astronauts had been super healthy like they just slept in nearby room (and this is that they actually did) instead of being in space.

    China: Sun energy to fuel generation started
    • The main broadcaster in mainland China, CCTV, aired the completion of a solar-to-liquid fuel project. Using electricity from photocells, it was possible to synthesize a liquid product with a methanol content of 99.5%. Work on this project in China began in 2001, and by January 2020, the development had been completed in general and an experimental installation had been created.

      It is reported that on an industrial scale, one plant can produce 1,500 tons of methanol per year, while processing 2,000 tons of CO2. Methanol is obtained in the process of synthesis from carbon monoxide and hydrogen on a catalyst. For this, hydrogen is obtained in the process of electrolysis of water, which requires energy, in particular, from sunlight. Each ton of hydrogen produced, according to the source, is equivalent to storing energy in the amount of 33 MWh.

      For US and EU it is very important to destroy all present car industry before any of such projects will be available. As their elites dream about total control and rental electric cars for population.

      Multiple think tanks stated that lack of autonomous fuel is very important in controlling population and local business.
