I saw it quite a few times in reputable publications. I'm the last person to have a high opinion of the press's honesty, but multiple orgs lying about it would be a bizarre and easily-defeated conspiracy.
What stories were regarded as conspiracies? I had thought that a fair amount of information about MKUltra was uncovered by the end of the 70s. [1] (Assuming you are not referring to a time before then).
I initially thought you were wrong, but you are not.
“Monopolization” [0], which a Wikipedia section on “Sherman Act of 1890” [1] lead me to, is maintaining a monopoly “through conduct deemed unlawfully exclusionary. The mere fact that conduct disadvantages rivals does not... constitute... exclusionary conduct.”
I am most surprised that the Sherman Act explicitly targets monopolization, not monopolies.
I am not certain who you are assigning "entitlement" to. I believe you are talking about non-residents who gripe about the Bay Area's laws and policies which protect the interests of incumbent residents to the effect of excluding non-residents by setting an artificially high (financial) barrier to entry. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
I find this position extremely odd. I am unaware of other examples of non-federal (county, city, etc.) US governments and respective constituents opposing non-local residents relocating, for any reason (including "culture/way of life/standards of living"). I have seen this before in the Bay Area--I was refused an apartment viewing earlier this year in San Francisco because I am from New York.
I think this relates to the Constitution's "Privileges and Immunities Clause" [0], which an 1832 federal court case, Corfield v. Coryell [1], ruled that all US citizens enjoy the right "to reside in any other state...; to take, hold and dispose of property, either real or personal; and an exemption from higher taxes or impositions that are paid by the other citizens of the state." I am not aware of any Bay Area laws which explicitly violate any of these rights. However, I do not see how Prop 13, which "prohibit[s] reassessment of value... except in cases of (a) change in ownership," required for non-renting non-locals, "or (b) completion of new construction," [2] i.e. new housing developments, does not indirectly violate non-residents' "exemption from higher taxes." Note that I have zero law experience, I just googled "discrimination based on state of residence."
While the story doesn't mention an "obligation" of the elder generation's children, I think it brings out a very interesting point. Unlike the US/ Western Europe, in Russia, and likely other previously-Soviet countries, there isn't a noticeable divide between those with rich parents and those without. No one has rich parents.
> The total cost of the program, raised from private donations, is $100 million, a small fraction of the billions of dollars invested in the US space program.
It is unclear if this is referring to current or past (space race era) investment in the US space program. Regardless, I think it is an unfair comparison.
Given NASA's current goals (_not_ moon landings) compared to the simple goal of this program (a moon landing), it is unreasonable to compare the two programs in the present day. If they are comparing the investment of SpaceIL today versus the US in the 60s, it again seems fallacious as the cost of a moon landing today is definitely much less than the cost during the space race.
SpaceIL did not have to conduct research in areas which the US and Soviet space programs did have to because SpaceIL could rely on these past programs' research. To further compare the Apollo missions to this, the US space program launched their own crafts, they were not able to lessen the cost by contracting SpaceX.
Googling "nvidia face generator" lead me to "A Style-Based Generator Architecture for Generative Adversarial Networks," (6 Feb 2019) a paper showing the faces on the site.
