In 1983 there was a huge panic in UK caused by a increased rate of #leukemia among children living near on particular nuclear site (Sescale). Media were fast to jump to conclusion, ignoring science which couldn't explain the cause back then, but pointed out similar clusters elsewhere far from any nuclear installations and insisted nuclear is unrelated.
Today we know it was particular infection that caused it and #nuclear was indeed unrelated.
re: Safe infrastructureless communications
@bhtooefr Why not? It's mostly about bandwidth and latency. On radio links latency is small, bandwidth might be more of a challenge but Kademlia DHT has variants designed for such conditions https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320212140_Performance_Analysis_of_RKADEMLIA_Pastry_and_Bamboo_Using_Recursive_Routing_in_Mobile_Networks
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give prices in Russian rubles granted his current place of living?

Safe infrastructureless communications
@bhtooefr This has been solved quite efficiently in Distributed Hash Table protocols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table where you can quite efficiently search a large number of nodes for content without a single directory index.

"My Semester With the Snowflakes”
When a 52 year old military vet became a freshman at Yale this fall, he found out that the students didn’t fit Faux News stereotype.
It’s a touching essay and worth your time:

Really cool idea: convention for self-describing data structures such as serializations, hashes, addresses etc
This three part highly acclaimed documentary series, produced in 1986, examines the pro's and con's of #nuclear power as they have never been examined before...or since. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B01DDEOKCI

@Wetrix Merry Christmas!
@velociraptor @zloygik @rf это конечно да, при всем богатстве русского мата слово "курва" имеет один плюс: звук "р" который можно красиво продлить для повышения экспрессии :)
@Iambharani Not pure water certainly, the pink colour comes from an indicator sensitive to alkaline I suppose?
Да, в оригинале у Сапковского он как раз говорит "kurwa!". Но я думал опрос про то что должен говорить в переводе на русский.
