Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan called out Democrats and the liberal media Monday for previously denying that the Clinton campaign spied on former President Donald Trump.

Reports released Friday by Special Counsel John Durham revealed that Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman allegedly worked with tech executive Rodney Jaffe to assemble data that would tie Trump to Russia. Reports also showed that Sussman repeatedly billed the Clinton Campaign for his work on the “Russia Bank-1” allegations.

Jordan, joining “America’s Newsroom,” said the new allegations of spying on the Trump campaign “is as wrong as it gets” and “even worse” that they allegedly spied on a sitting president.

“This is what’s egregious and so wrong about it,” Jordan told Fox News’ Dana Perino. “You think about it, they spied on a presidential campaign, that’s as wrong as it gets. But then we found out from this filing that they actually spied on the sitting president which is even…

Nuclear Fusion Overcomes Key Technological Barrier

Freedomist Curator February 9, 2022

A new effort using a fuel called trtium in fusion energy experiment offers hope in the development of fusion energy as a viable alternative sustaining energy source. The experiment creates opportunities for physicists to pursue further fusion energy development. Having sustained a fusion event for five seconds, physicists hope to scale up from seconds to hours, creating potential vast sources of readily-created portable energy anywhere in the world.
That’s the general idea behind technologies like fusion energy, to create ways for humans to create from indigenous resources as much as possible (though not entirely) most of their essential needs, with energy being a high priority (behind food and water, but even these can be enhanced by energy resources).
As we often point out with emerging technology, the tech itself is a neutrality, a tool that can become a tool of oppression or free associative sustainable self-reliance. Fusion energy tech could be locked behind Intellectual Property firewalls, used to create subscription services with morality code terms of service attached to them. Fusion energy tech could enable a people in the middle of a desert to create communities of green thanks to the power source provided by the fusion of molecules alone.
We may be a couple decades away from fusion energy becoming a viable energy source, but there’s no reason for free associative minded folks to try to develop open source tech alternatives that are better than the IP-controlled tech the powers that be are developing.

Nuclear Fusion Reactor Sets Landmark Energy Record Using Tritium Fuel

Excerpt:

A new landmark has been passed on the quest for fusion power with a new record for energy released. However, while the announcement marks a step towards the goal of powering the world from the same energy source as the stars, it is also a reminder of how far there is to go.

Models of fusion reactors suggest the optimum fuel will be a mixture of tritium – an isotope of hydrogen, made up of one proton and two neutrons – and deuterium. Yet, paradoxically, almost all fusion research has been done on ordinary hydrogen or deuterium.

Now, however, the first fusion experiments conducted using tritium since 1997 have produced a record amount of energy for a fusion reactor over a period of five seconds – 59 megajoules. The results were described at a press conference today.

….“The record, and more importantly the things we’ve learned about fusion under these conditions and how it fully confirms our predictions, show that we are on the right path to a future world of fusion energy. If we can maintain fusion for five seconds, we can do it for five minutes and then five hours as we scale up our operations in future machines,” Professor Tony Donné of EUROfusion said in a statement seen by IFLScience.

British Citizens Might Need a Credit Card to Access TikTok

Freedomist Curator February 9, 2022

The conservative-controlled British government is now warning its citizens if it doesn’t shape up, it’s gonna have to soon use a passport or credit card details to access the internet. The British government wants to assure that websites are adhering to age restriction laws, so it says it will target the biggies first, and it they can’t self-police, then the British people will all have to show their passports or credit card information to the website as proof of their legal access age.

It goes without saying that sites like Facebook and TikTok are sure to be targeted first. Perhaps they’ll follow through with it and drive all the British people off of social media altogether. Then the rest of the world can watch as Britain miraculously regains her sanity and starts acting like an adult human being again. Ahhh, a boy can dream.

UK.gov threatens to make adults give credit card details for access to Facebook or TikTok

Adults will have to hand over credit card or passport details before they can access social media sites, the British government threatened this morning.

Internet use age verification – first floated and then abandoned via the country’s 2017 Digital Economy Act – will return in the UK’s Online Safety Bill, digital minister Chris Philp MP has vowed, linking the technology, widely criticised by privacy activists, to protecting children from pornography websites.

Websites targeted by the government will be forced to submit to “a new legal duty” requiring them “to put robust checks in place to ensure their users are 18 years old or over.”

Inventor Claims to Have Created Self-Defining, Purposing AI

Parker Davis February 9, 2022

An inventor named Trevor E Chandler has claimed to have create an artificial intelligence that is capable of determining its own purpose, so to speak. The AI gets an initial code which, emergently, it ultimately overcomes, creating its own code to define its purpose, and thus action. This seems perfectly safe. I wonder if we can combine this AI with nanotechnology and just, you know, see what happens. Let’s create a nanotech ai that can replicate itself and develop its own purpose. That should be fun.

As usual, the claims might not meet the much more prosaic reality an inventor is hyping. We won’t be anytime soon seeing nanobots go up our noses and turn us into Biden voters, or, worse, Dallas Cowboys fans, but it does mean developing more autonomously developing tech that can positively enhance our ability to process and refine the world around us.

New Type of Artificial Intelligence can Self-Create and Self-Improve its Source Code

From www.einnews.com

Excerpt:

A new type of artificial intelligence has been created with the capability to advance its own source code, persist, and use its learning across use cases, and through code generation and modification, advance its action set and objectives beyond their starting state without the need for human intervention.

Trevor E. Chandler, the inventor states, “All existing artificial intelligence is limited by human bias. We either tell the AI what actions it can perform or give it data that represents actions it can use. This stunts the potential of our systems, preventing them from achieving emergence. My new approach has overcome this, and other serious issues with machine learning today, resulting in a machine learning system generating emergent actions beyond its initial actions list or data and emergent objectives beyond its initial objectives.”.

This new type of machine learning automatically searches for, finds, and uses code from other artificially Intelligent components as its starting state, continually writing code into itself from preexisting systems, then modifying its own source code as it advances its action set beyond its starting state through use of a built-in code generating and evaluation artificial intelligence. This allows useful information from preexisting machine learning systems to be utilized, not wasted, but only as a starting point…..

China Threatens US Over Taiwan Arms Deal

Paul Collier February 9, 2022

The Chinese are very upset at the recent decision by the Biden administration to sell arms to Taiwan, the nation that, according to China, doesn’t really exist. One China means no Taiwan, in case you’re all paying attention. They’ve issued some missives to the effect that how dare America and how weak America, blah blah blah, this is an existential threat to our very existence, blah blah blah.

As usual, the story is getting crickets on top folds across the MSMiverse, but it certainly bears noting. As an aside, if you read the Freedomist enough you know we couple the CCP and the DNC together often, but we also point out that this alliance is not really a perfect union, as both Machiavellian partners in the dance are seeking to help one another as much as they need to while pivoting to assure when the need for the union is no longer there, the other will have the advantage.

This move by the Biden administration is about assuring the billionaire class of California and New York have enough leverage to assure China follows through on the promise of allowing them continued and even extended access to that fatty gold billion people market.

Sale of US weapons to Taiwan threatens China’s security interests, Defense Ministry says – World

Beijing lodged a protest with Washington over arms sales to Taiwan since these actions undermine China’s sovereignty, the Chinese Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

“The sale of armaments by the United States to Taiwan seriously violates the ‘One China’ principle and the provisions of three joint communiques between China and the US,” the statement published on the agency’s website said.

According to the Defense Ministry, the US “grossly intrudes into China’s domestic affairs, harming the country’s sovereignty and security interests, destroying military relations between China and the US, as well as threatening peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.” “Due to this, China expressed strong displeasure and a resolute protest as well as made a strong diplomatic remonstrance to Washington.”

Graphene Could Be Expanded to Store More Hydrogen

Parker Davis February 9, 2022

If you can organize graphene in three dimensions, you can greatly expand the amount of hydrogen you can store in graphene. This could greatly reduce the cost of hydrogen storage, and even allow for bulk room-temperature storage. Researchers out of the Istituto Nanoscienze, a research consortium, published results from an experiment that demonstrates organizing graphene in three dimensions is possible.

A research consortium has discovered how to organize graphene in three dimensions. This novel process could be used to store larger quantities of hydrogen and develop more sensitive gas sensors….

He found the relevant expertise at the Institute for Sensor and Actuator Systems at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. Here, Professor Ulrich Schmid‘s group has been researching processes for years that make it possible to integrate extremely fine, porous structures into dense materials in a controlled manner….

Dr. Stefano Veronesi, a member of Dr. Heun’s research group at the Istituto Nanoscienze, explains what the application of this process means in terms of hydrogen storage: “Graphene can bind (store) molecular as well as elemental hydrogen on the surface. At room temperature, however, only elemental hydrogen binds well to graphene. Molecular hydrogen, on the other hand, forms only a very weak bond with the graphene surface. By selective functionalization (“grafting”) of the graphene surface, the ‘storage’ capability of the graphene surface can be significantly increased even at room temperature. How much hydrogen can be stored is determined by the graphene surface area present – the more graphene, the more hydrogen can be stored.”

Scientists have developed tiny flying insect robots that could be made in their billions and help save people – and the planet.

The pioneering bug-sized machines have an artificial muscle system that creates wing motion using no rotating parts or gears.

They could help in search and rescue operations, after terrorist attacks.- or maybe act as pollinators.

Typical micro flying robots have used motors, gears and other complex transmission systems to achieve the up-and-down flapping motion.

This new advance could pave the way for smaller, lighter and more effective micro flying robots.

Thinking Machines to Action through New Graphene Biosensor

Freedomist Curator February 9, 2022

Thanks to graphene, our ability to think and see that thought become a machine’s action is just a few short years away. Researchers out of the University of Technology Sydney have been developing a new type of EEG sensor using graphene that could break down the hurdles that have prevented engineers from fully developed thought to machine action technology up to this time.

Graphene biosensor will drive new innovations in brain-controlled robotics – Physics World

Excerpt:

Recently, researchers have developed EEG sensors made from graphene, which offers excellent conductivity and biocompatibility. Graphene-based biosensors, however, often have low durability, corroding upon contact with sweat, and exhibit high skin-contact impedance that hampers the detection of signals from the brain. A novel graphene-based biosensor developed at the University of Technology Sydney aims to overcome these limitations, detecting EEG signals with high sensitivity and reliability – even in highly saline environments.

The sensor, described in the Journal of Neural Engineering, is made from epitaxial graphene (EG) grown on a silicon carbide (SiC)-on-silicon substrate. This structure unites graphene’s favourable properties with the physical robustness and chemical inertness of SiC.

“We’ve been able to combine the best of graphene, which is very biocompatible, very conductive, with the best of silicon technology, which makes our biosensor very resilient and robust to use,” says senior author Francesca Iacopi in a press statement.

….“With our sensor, the contact resistance improves when the sensor sits on the skin,” Iacopi explains. “Over time, we were able to achieve a reduction of more than 75% of the initial contact resistance. This means the electric signals being sent by the brain can be reliably collected and then significantly amplified, and that the sensors can also be used reliably in harsh conditions, thereby enhancing their potential for use in brain–machine interfaces.”

EU Will Get Poland Fines by Withholding EU Cash

Mark Clouse February 9, 2022

After the EU fined Poland for not bending its knee to the EU’s demands that it cuts off a power station and ends a lignite mining operation, Poland told the EU it’s just not paying the fines. Now, as the EU prepares to doll out the cash it gives out to member nations, it has informed Poland it will simply withhold the funds that it needs to pay the fine.

EU notifies Poland it will withhold its EU cash to cover unpaid fines

BRUSSELS – The European Commission notified Poland on Tuesday it would withhold cash that the EU was to pay Warsaw as part of regular EU transfers, to cover the first part of fines imposed by the EU’s court on Poland which the country did not pay.

This is the first time that the Commission has to withhold EU money for a member country because it is not complying with a ruling by the EU’s top court.

Last September, the Court of Justice of the European Union put a 500,000 euro ($571,000) daily fine on Poland for not stopping the operations of its Turow lignite mine and power plant on the border with Czech Republic.

This followed a complaint from Prague that its operations were endangering water sources of residents across the border. Poland’s eurosceptic and nationalist government refused to comply with the court ruling.

“The Commission has informed Poland that it would proceed with the offsetting of payments for penalties due under case C-121/21 Czechia v Poland on Turów lignite mine”, Commission spokesman Balazs Ujvari said in a statement.
