I have to wonder, don’t the majority of Russians pretty much know that their government is full of shit?
Let me offer my perspective,as a Russian. People do not want to lose everything like they did in the 90s. Yes, everyone understands that the government is full of shit, but they believe in the belief (google it, an interesting concept) that it’s virtuous to support a government.
It’s like a classic trolley problem. Yes, you’d probably push that lever, but you know of consequences and you just purchased a car and your wife is pregnant. You are caught in this unending circle, you simply do not want to deal with it because it doesn’t affect you. But when it does affect you, it’s always the west: shock therapy of the 90s, current sanctions, debit card ban, visa bans, etc.

This is an engagement app. The goal of the app is to exploit your behavioral patterns to enforce your engagement; to force you open the app everyday. And as a by-product you may learn the language Or may not, I don’t know anyone who has learned a language using it among my ~10 friends who were trying to do so using this app.

Okay, let’s read and find out whether we can find something that we don’t know.

There’s no paper, there is no letter, it’s a simple statement at the institute page. The way science is being communicated nowadays is frustrating.

From the statement
However, alongside the commercially available C and L-bands, we used two additional spectral bands called E-band and S-band. Such bands traditionally haven’t been required because the C- and L-bands could deliver the required capacity to meet consumer needs.
So they indeed broadened the frequency range.
- They also did not say anything about limitations. They just pushed this bizarre number everywhere 🤷🏼♂️

I don’t understand why, tho I do not have any kind of expertise here.
I suggest (Haven’t read it), this paper proposes to send much denser and broadened signals around one carrier frequency (they use single mode). Due to dispersion they
-
Start to overlap with one each other. If you put more frequencies, you would have more overlaps and I fail to see how it won’t lead to errors.

They all arrive at the broader time window, which again could be mitigated either by error correction, or by extending the time window.

It is, but it compromises the speed exponentially with length/broadening
- Comment on Researchers unlock fiber optic connection 1.2 million times faster than broadband 3 weeks ago:
I’m highly suspicious about group dispersion over long distances. Today’s infrastructure was developed for a certain range of frequencies. Broading it right away wouldn’t be applicable that easy - we would need to introduce error correction which compromises the speed multiplier.
Too lazy to get the original paper though

I suspect they were a rival of my co-author, that’s why they didn’t want it to be published. Or they didn’t want me to be published in this journal.
The communication is happening through journal’s editors, so they could not explicitly write that they don’t want ME to be publish papers.
- Comment on Professor meow meow 3 weeks ago:
The second referee once told us that our paper should not be published at all.
Eventually, it made it to the Editor’s choice section of the journal

That’s a long lasting tradition to use “we” even in solo authored papers. I believe even Newton did this

She wrote a book. Then the arrogant white male read it. And referenced it while arguing with her, quoting the book. How he would argue with her if he did understand the book correctly
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
Kinda 🤷🏼♂️. It’s some kind of social platform (i.e. shit talk) where people talk and not a peer review q1 journal.
Still a good basis for null hypothesis

Okay, in my experience, as a recent PhD working in a science-related field, the scientific community is a comfortable place for people with superiority complex and for blatant fascists of all kinds.

Why’s she flexing about a paper that a white male couldn’t understand?
Also science is full of arrogant people, both males and females.

Wtf are you assuming
- Comment on double slit 1 month ago:
Why are you giving me a theoretical paper? It doesn’t even have sizes, but I assume that the distance between two holes is about 1um, which you cannot see with your bare eyes

Yeah 😞
- Comment on double slit 1 month ago:
For electrons you can’t do it. Either way the interference is not a quantum effect and the detector that you are talking about is a simple reemiting device that detects the wave vector and creates the wave in the same direction. Now live with that.
- Comment on double slit 1 month ago:
This meme is about the difference in scales. When your electron’s delocalization is much greater than other scales in your system, the electron behaves like a wave. Otherwise if the electron’s delocalization is the smallest scale, it behaves like a particle.
If you can look at the setup of an experiment with your bare eyes, the electron behaves like a particle. If you cannot - it may behave like a wave.
