exposure to the mRNA vaccine leads to a specific type of cell culture used for research translating that RNA sequence into DNA that then remains inside the cell. it is unknown if the DNA is included in the actual nuclear genome or replicated any further. this seems to affect the activity of some other genes.

specialized liver cell cultures, with some replication inhibitions disabled, were observed doing this. it is not clear that this would definitely happen in normal liver cells.

liver cells were studied because in living animals, vaccine exposure seems to generate a mild change in liver behavior for a short period of time. this may be unrelated.

long term effects are absolutely unknown, but the authors speculate about autoimmune problems. it's worth noting that an actual virus would engage in similar activity, except it would hijack the cell to replicate in the process.

I find this radiation spike very suspicious. What is the mechanism? Did they open the sarcophag, did they stop taking care of spent fuel from other reactors? What happened?

I don’t buy the story that they raised radiation simply by disturbing dust with their vehicles. There have been 39 years since the nuclear accident and I assume enough winds and rain and snow to raise all the dust that could have been raised.

Absolutely. I also think that calls for other countries to help Ukraine with troops are premature.

Look at Afghanistan, the US spent decades with troops on the ground, rebuilding every single institution only to have it all collapse before they even pulled out. In the end the people of Afghanistan didn't feel any ownership in any of it because they didn't build it, so when it came time to defend it they didn't.

I think that the US has learned from that, and in the 8 years since Putin invaded Crimea they have been equipping and training the Ukrainians to defend their own country. If the people of Ukraine make it out of this as an independent country it will a historical moment signifying that Ukraine as a nation is here to stay for the long term because their citizens believe in the institutions and the ideals of their nation.

What I hope for the most from this conflict is the development of stable democracies in both Ukraine and Russia.

Isn't it exactly the point? If, provided sufficient cooling, you could double the clock speed without running into clock skew or other timing issues, then timing issues shouldn't be a problem if you want to scale things up physically by 50% without touching the clocks. I don't think you'd have to lower clocks by 90% to increase size of most designs tenfold. Or rather, that the reason you'd have to if you did wouldn't be due to signal propagation time.

Completely agree with this. On numerous occasions I let an idea out while it wasn’t developed enough to go in the right direction on its own. It turned into a shit show.

This applies to teams as well.

I know two people in Ukraine who have received automatic weapons from the gov't...I do wonder how reasonable it is to arm untrained civilians. Turning someone without training into an armed combatant against an invading military seems like putting them directly in a high risk of being shot (as opposed to the lower risk of collateral casualty)

EDIT: it's not my hill to die on, I just hope it's not theirs either
It’s perfectly clear if you read it without trying to be deliberately obtuse.
This is a war that is also fought online. It is extremely important to keep the flow of information running from Ukraine. Putin will very likely order to shut down cellphone coverage and the Internet in Ukraine as soon as they full enter Kyiv and he'll fear about reports of either mass killings among civilians and/or defeats among the Russian military; such information reaching both the world and Russian people is what he fears the most.
Shutting down communications would be also a problem for keeping the resistance interconnected, as common analog walkie talkies wouldn't be an option for being easy to tap, and they essentially speak the same language.
I wonder what can be done to quickly hand Ukrainians satellite Internet routers plus the infrastructure to build mesh stations and keep them connected.
I assumed you need a thorough explanation, considering your statements like “Knowingly posting an untrustworthy source without any remark on its untrustworthiness implies that you believe that source.”. No, this is simply untrue. That’s not how it ever worked. Western media will happily relay Russian claims without adding disclaimers about trustworthiness of Russian media in each and every instance. The main reason to add disclaimers like these is to in fact signal allegiance to opposing side.

Don't forget to try hugging your pets too!
gosh, it's so hard to be respectful here...

your argument is:

1. US deployed nukes to Turkey,
2. to which USSR responded symmetrically by attempting to deploy nukes in Cuba,
3. to which US responded with blockade
4. and therefore Russian invasion to Ukraine is justified
5. because NATO may deploy nukes in Ukraine

4. simply doesn't follow from previous 3 points because the assumption in 5. is incorrect in three ways:

1. Ukraine is not in NATO so NATO doesn't have the capability to deploy nukes there
2. If NATO needed nukes close to Moscow - they ALREADY HAVE where to do that - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland
3. US was responding with blockade to ACTIVE DEPLOYMENT PROCESS of nukes, which isn't happening in Ukraine

> there's no direct citizen vote on things like alliances, treaties, etc

One could imagine that if your country's citizens will be called upon to go to war to fight to defend a distant "country X", just because your country and "country X" happen to be in an alliance, that citizens informed consent would be desirable and required before signing such a treaty.

Despite what your politicians might say, joining an military alliance has a cost, it's not a freebie.
It's Falklands. And anyways, NATO as it stands today will not be attacked. But potential NATO entrants very much might be, prior to and maybe even after entering. No one believes that NATO will actually fight beyond Poland. Hell, I don't believe the Germans would fight for Poland -- Poland would fight for Poland, but that's probably it. Defensibility matters. I think Poland is defensible mainly because this time Poland is prepared and willing to defend itself long enough to embarrass the rest of NATO into helping.

That means Poland is now safe from attack.

All the new entrants being discussed are less defensible than Poland. With Ukraine being left to flap in the wind and lose, the value of discussing NATO entrance is now negative.
But how likely is this? 39 years of weather and you drive for a few hours about and the dust from your vechicles raised the radiation levels? It’s winter now and I can’t imagine dust is raised so easily. Either the amount was not significant or something else happened.
Yeah, enterprise pricing typically works that way. It's designed for businesses, not individuals. Smaller teams pay 3.33 cents a month based on the pricing page that was pointed out to you and individuals can sign up for free. I also find the copy claim to be entirely ironic.

They're both commercial companies chasing dollars. The OSS sales model is simple. Get companies/people hooked on OSS, have them reach the boundaries of the OSS product and then sell them a commercial license. Most people can and will just move to the better enterprise offering which is probably why I see so little GitLab out in the wild. Based on what I'm seeing/hearing from MSFT, GitHub is basically a free product that now comes with your MSFT enterprise agreement. If you agree to spend enough Azure or Visual Studio dollars MSFT agrees to pony up GitHub licenses. GitLab can't compete on that level, and the offering alone isn't compelling enough for your average fortune 500 when it comes to spending money.

I think you'll find many of the "crypto crowd" strongly disagree with your assessment.

you don't 'get a postdoc'. It's not a degree. It's a job you get that requires a PhD. It's a form a purgatory until you can get a real academic job.

The goal of a post doc is to continue to do research work where you're the first position on publications to pad your CV to the point where it looks impressive enough when you're out giving job talks for tenure track positions.

If you have a very strong PhD thesis, produced a lot of good work during your PhD and made enough connections, you can skip that step.

Almost this, but it's slightly broader: Rust guarantees means you won't hit an undefined behavior in safe Rust (as long as the underlying unsafe Rust is correct, this is an important caveat). This isn't equal to memory corruption, especially because optimizing compilers exist and UB can lead your code to be completely miscompiled (which is both dangerous and really annoying to debug).

Also, while this isn't a guarantee, Rust's type system and control flow regarding error handling can help avoid mistakes you sometime see in C (the infamous “goto fail” for instance). Obviously, since C++ is already much more expressive than C, Rust is less of an improvement from C++ in that regard.
Hense the title "Enterprise"...
You need to understand what Putin believes.

He believes in the Russian Empire, in the "Third Rome" and Ukraine is important because Kyiv was the capital of the first Rus empire 1000 years ago.

It's also the "origin myth" that gets propagated to the Russian armed forces (see Cathedral of the Armed Forces) and public. Also, will the oligarchs continue to support him it he just takes a scorched earth approach? Will the armed forces? If the myth fades who will follow?

He retired as a Major in the US Army (he’s also a Colonel in the California State Guard, but that's less of a qualification) after 24 years of infantry service, including two combat tours in Iraq, and he is the chair of urban warfare studies for the Modern War Institute at the US Military Academy (West Point).

So, when it comes to urban warfare, he probably has some idea what he is talking about.

They are already at high risk of being shot. Merely leaving the city they are in puts them at massive risk of attack. There are almost no instances where we should be arming people, but having evil, rampaging attackers kilometers from entices one to defend themselves rather than submit to occupation and likely death.
This completely ignores giving Russia a reason to invade Finland. Russia has had no strategic need or desire to invade Finland and lived as neighbors for 70 years.

Joining NATO and giving it leverage over the Russian navy would vastly increase the chance of Finland being pulled into a hot conflict with Russia
I don't think it is sensible at the moment to take into account what Putin says or has not said. It is obvious his words have no resemblance whatsoever to his actions. He does not need excuses to attack other countries.
To arm them ahead of time would have appeared to justify Putin’s claims. That would have been a different kind of disaster. I don’t know why anyone thought he wasn’t going to do this, you don’t mass the army like that unless you’re going to use it. But it’s clear he’s just picking a fight for now reason this way.
What about the same advice for the citizens of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan? Should they have fought for their liberty against US troops the same way?
1) You don't fight an army the same way you protest your government. Yes there was gunfire, fighting and massacre during Euromaidan, but fighting riot police (most of whom were not shooting the protestors with live ammunition) is nothing like fighting an army that's coming in with assault rifles, tanks, apcs, air strikes, etc.

2) That's a massive accomplishment by the armed forces of Ukraine, but it is still useful to advise civilians and make them better prepared in case the fight gets to that point. They weren't handing out assault rifles to civilians for the lulz. I'm sure there are a lot of people among them who have no fighting experience.

Not intervening is a sure way to have delayed consequences from same aggressor, of same or worse manner. This isn't about Ukraine itself anymore, not with Russia/Soviet history of dominance, coercion, bullying and murder. Nothing has changed in the leadership, not for the better at least.

I really don't get people who are naive about Putin. He is extremely clear in his communication about his goals and he just started yet another phase of realizing them. For those won't bother going through them - the goal is pre-1989 setup at least within Europe and near east. All the countries formerly enslaved by Russian communism in some form have very strong objections, and well the rest of free world seems to agree.

It looks like they don't, otherwise they would have deployed forces in Ukraine before the invasion forcing Russia to attack them first.

(And that's something we may regret, because I don't think Russia was willing to have a land war with a bunch of European armed forces either)

No, they don’t “look equal” in my eyes. I was only talking about the incentives of each side, not how successful their efforts are.

That said, since I live in the west, I’m overwhelmingly exposed to pro-Ukraine propaganda, and very little to pro-Russia propaganda. Almost none of it is, of course, paid for by Ukraine.
And if anyone is skeptical this can work, I refer you to Vietnam, Afghanistan, the American Revolution, and a few cases where even the Romans would decide to pack it in with a “these people are crazy, they’re never going to stop and it’s not worth it.”

It’s too optimistic to think this will be the end of Putin, but if by chance it happens, it will not be the first time a catastrophic war lead to the overthrow of the Russian government.

That would reduce his standing to a Kim Jong Un level. He would not be able to un-ring that bell. And the first country to launch nukes loses. They might even win that war, but in the international stage what they end up with won’t look like peace.
A lot of the problem seems to be in making practical PQC algorithms. There are a few algorithms that have provable security guarantees (at least as I understand it), such as McEliece. Somewhat hilarious McEliece is actually faster than existing DLP systems. The problem is that the key size is very large, enough to make it impractical in the real world.

There are also systems like learning with errors. shortest vector, ... but I don't understand them well enough to know if they've been proven safe at a basic technique level.

The problem is that there have been many attempts to reduce the actual key size, and they keep being found to have ended up breaking the security of the underlying scheme.

I feel like that's what has happened here with rainbow.

(as a note to the "NSA conspiracy" folk: The NSA or what have you wants schemes that they can break by knowing some secret value. Schemes that simply break outright aren't useful to them because it means (1) anyone can break it, and (2) as a byproduct of (1) they cannot use it safely. In an ideal world what they want is something so secure that they could use it for communication themselves - which would reduce suspicion - but also be able to decrypt everything)
You’re right and I take it back. If Bitcoin didn’t have replace-by-fee, then maybe it would have been a more accurate statement.
