@yiffit.netIt looks like a research group found a security vulnerability that they then used to find a single common key in all of the cards made by this company. The second part here is a reasonable concern, but the article calls the vulnerability a backdoor in the beginning, which I think is fairly misleading.
It (along with Stokes’ theorem (they’re actually the same theorem in different dimensions)) helps yield Maxwell’s equations; specifically, if you want to change the flux of the electric field through a surface (right hand side), you need to change the amount of charge it contains (the source of the divergence on the left hand side). In other words, if you have the same charge contained by a surface, it will have the same flux going through it, which means you can change the surface however you wish and the math will still be the same. Physicists use this to reduce some complex problems into problems on a sphere or a box—objects with nice, easily calculable symmetries.
It’s basically Firefox with betterfox js and a slick css design. It’s also still in alpha
“Humans are a cancer…” is a statement of fact. It is the solution that determines if someone is an ecofascist:
… so we should kill off humans and cure the world
is an ecofascist statement and is a problem.
… and we are going to kill our host
is still in the declarative form. Is is apparently defeatist/fatalist and may or may not be a problem depending on the other views of the person
… so we should stop being cancerous.
is more optimistic of human determinism. I think it is the most hopeful and helpful to our situation, but it is not inherently good, and not coming to this conclusion is not inherently bad.
Maxwell’s equations have already been rewritten into the Dirac equation. Magnetic monopoles are quantum weird and would not show up in undergrad textbooks regardless
Looking this up, I found a bunch of stuff from last year talking about it and only the yahoo source from the past couple days. I also found this:

Which suggests no m9.8 flare recently
Personally, I want FDA approval to mean it is as provably safe and effective as possible. They said they wanted more evidence before approval, and I think that’s okay. Good, even.
The way the US treats recreational drug use and self-medication is horrific, but it’s not really the domain of the FDA.
I would rather have not-yet-FDA-approved legal-for-personal-use mdma than what we have now or an unproven drug approved by the FDA.
