Soviet cars didn't need crumple zones because they were built on a frame, and chassis was like 2 mm steel. Among western cars only true 4x4 (not SUV) and lorries would have equally heavy construction, which was a benefit when you crash into something but also results in like 15-20 liters per 100 km gasoline consumption.

Believe me, my first car was Uaz 452 and second - Gaz 69 😂

I thought there was a regulation about security testing of such devices, but maybe I remember incorrectly or it was not UK 🤔 In any case, idiots designing this actually put people at risk.

You Really Shouldn't Roll Your Own Crypto: An Empirical Study of Vulnerabilities in Cryptographic Libraries

"Among our most interesting findings is that only 27.2% of vulnerabilities in cryptographic libraries are cryptographic issues while 37.2% of vulnerabilities are memory safety issues, indicating that systems-level bugs are a greater security concern than the actual cryptographic procedures."

Yes, in case if GR it's 1:1. On the other hand Bt brinjal (eggplant) has 80% larger yield due to lack of pest losses, so to get the same volume of final veg you need proportionally *less* arable land.

@dsfgs

Very much the opposite - Bt cotton prevents *millions* of pesticide poisoning cases each year in India alone, and Bt maize led to 2/3 reduction in cancer rates from mycotoxins. Many other heal benefits of GM plans are documented:

@gritnot By the way, on the food safety argument, exactly the opposite was observed - widespread adoption of Bt cotton and Bt maize resulted in *millions* less cases of pesticide poisoning and less cancer rates due to less mycotoxins.

@th I guess a few grams of non-transparent epoxy resin poured on and around the TPM chip would at least make wire-tapping harder.

@gritnot Their arguments against GMO changed over time, but in case of Golden Rice they argued the following:

* GR will "open doors" to more GMOs - a classic slippery slope fallacy
* GR could "contaminate" wild rice - so what?
* "industry is selling GR" - which is outright lie because GR specifically is non-commercial and royalty-free
* GR is "drawing funding and attention away from other projects" - while all other solutions to VAD failed
