When you read about the "hydrogen breakthrough" that is just behind the corner, be sure to check the past hype cycles on the same subject:

Since ~2005 all EU countries have Electronic Signature legislation (1999/93/EC), later renewed as eIDAS (Regulation 910/2014).

18 February 1929 Russian writer and poet Varlam Shalamov was arrested accused of violating article 58 item 10 of Criminal Code of the RSFSR ("anti-Soviet agitation") for illegally printing... Lenin's letters from 1922.

The reason, in spite of the fact that Lenin was still one of the official Soviet saints, was that the letters were highly critical of Stalin. In 30's the letter was declared a "fake" and its possession was a crime, only decriminalised and again declared genuine in 1956.

I certainly couldn't miss the "Brazil rejects Sputnik V" shitstorm, but then did an usual reality check that made me wonder: why is vaccination rate in Russia still below 10%?

Did anyone here, or your relatives, actually get invitation for vaccination, or how does that work in real life?

Chomsky has a long tradition of whitewashing human right abuse - in 1977 he did just the same thing for Khmer Rouge

There's only one EU country that recently celebrated 50% wind and solar installed capacity.

Installed.

This is what it means in practice:

Guardian talking about... Bayes theorem 🤦‍♂️

Clear message in Czech newspapers today - "Russian terror", "who were the Russian killer agents" etc. The GRU sabotage was to prevent delivery of some weapons Ukraine purchased in Czechia - and it kind of worked, that batch was blown up. Was it worth it? Rosatom is now being kicked out from the Dukovany nuclear power plant tender and Kremlin seems to have very seriously antagonized yet another country in EU.
