By lying aggressively.

Lying about being the first phone app with E2EE (they're not even close, by over a decade if we count J2ME apps) because Signal was called TextSecure back when telegram didn't even exist yet. Lying about their protocol, lying about their backup system (if you're using group chats or regular chats which are backed up they are visible to the admins and any other claim is a lie), bullshit propaganda against Signal, etc...

Oh and by the way, Signal has now finally launched usernames, so you don't have to share your phone number to use it anymore.

FYI, regular Signal now has usernames available with the option to hide your phone number switched on by default (you may still need tithe beta release for the next few months since it's staggered rollout)

Cuda is an Nvidia specific method for using a graphics card to do computation (not just graphics), like physics simulations.

Translation layers would let you use software designed for other graphics cards to work with Cuda, or to let Cuda software work on other graphics cards

With WebUSB (supported in Chrome) and the possibility to build web applications to controls physical devices there's definitely some web developers who can claim to be proper engineers even in the strict definitions

Relativity works when earth is the center because it's relative, we just calculate everything with earth as the frame of reference. It does make a lot of math harder, but that's what we already are doing when using earth based telescopes (although we try to shift the math to a more reasonable frame of reference for most stuff, but earth is always the starting point because we're making all the measurements from here)
