Can't speak for aligators, but yeah, they could probably do such experiment :) Although since aligators are not endemic to Poland, everyone would freak out and organize a mass hunt for the monster I suppose :)

"The Treasury confirmed when the UK Government abolished slavery and banned people from owning slaves in Britain or on Britain’s colonies anywhere in the world, those slave owners received compensation."

How dumb one can be? Rosatom is one of few exportable, modern and competitive branches of Russian economy.

So in 2016 Russian government decided to threaten Ukraine with literally second Chernobyl if they only dare to diversify their fuel supplies (and even staged a protest in Kyiv).

Apparently to make sure no one ever buys a nuclear power plant from Rosatom...

(Obviously Ukraine did it)

IPCC: "Nuclear life-cycle CO2 emissions are 12, wind 11, solar 41, fossil gas 490 gCO2eq/kWh"

#Greenpeace "Zero carbon? Dead wrong. Nuclear power is among the most carbon-intensive forms of energy" (2011)

Also Greenpeace (also 2011):

"gas plants provide most of the non-renewable electricityand serve as a flexible backup for wind and solar power"

Former Greenpeace director dr P. Moore:

"none of fellow directors had any formal science education"

@thor

Correct, that's the main explanation I can think of.

@dump_stack

Actually, I'm just wondering if they haven't messed up their language sections, because this would actually fit the new narrative pushed by Sobyanin 🤔

Congratulations, anti-Indian Point activists! Your efforts were successful and the load lost in nuclear was promptly replaced by fossil gas 🤷‍♂️ Climate is now all warmer and happier than ever!

@thor

I guess several. First, portrait USA as a failed state. Second, in Russia ~6% of population works in law enforcement or private security jobs. The message is that Putin is the only guarantee for their impunity (abuse of power is quite frequent, too).

At the same time in the alternative reality 😂 I just saw the latter mentioned almost verbatim on Twitter in Poland and UK, which indicates they're also pushing this message in other languages.

Russia 1: "American police have been abandoned and betrayed by politicians."

This is an internal message to the Russian audience. English-language media are pushing message about US police brutality.

@tsturm

Precisely. We just had politicians in Poland praising Brazil and Sweden "common sense" approach back in April. If Poland did that, it would end up today with 80'000 deaths instead of ~1200.

"We estimate that across these six countries, interventions prevented or delayed on the order of 62 million confirmed cases, corresponding to averting roughly 530 million total infections."

@emory

That's... about the time when it started to be a popular topic! Which gives you an idea how complex it was.

Or is. I haven't really checked the IBM implementation, it might have some serious restrictions on use cases etc.

@emory

FHE was always a bit of holy Grail in crypto with the most frequently demanded use scenario being how to search encrypted data.

A bit like password authentication, so how do you confirm password is correct without actually storing it in plaintext. This one was easily solved with hashing, but searching full text data was significantly more complex.

Good to see some progress there and this demonstrates how far it sometimes can be from PoC to actual product!
