Not when you mix it with nitroglycerin.

Why should I trust the authenticity of your signning key? Solution 1: web of trust like PGP. Impossible with foreign content. Solution 2: Trusted Certificate authorities (private/ state/ UN) Solution 3: a block chain (scaling problems)

NFTs to the rescue - what a joke.

What is in the dumped memory (for CVE-2024-29745 )?
Can the device encryption keys be extracted from this ? Or is it more random data?
- Comment on A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system 6 months ago:
The same problem exists with coffin makers and funeral services.
- Comment on Italy bans cultivated meat products 6 months ago:
I am not so into synthetic meat ;-) So this is all speculation from my side. You can grow these cells for many cell divisions just not forever. So you keep a master stock of an early generation in the deep freezer (maybe 1000 vials). Then thaw one vial and expand the cells. Maybe you create a secondary derived stock. If they are old, thaw a fresh vial etc. If the/master stock is used up. Then you need to generate a new one.
P.s. regarding the transmissible cancer cells. I don’t think it would happen likely. I think the cells need to loose the MHC gene/protein for this. Just wanted to tell that it exists.
P.p.s I would be much more worried by viruses/ mycoplasma unknowingly infecting the cell culture. On the other hand farm animals are sick all the time too.
- Comment on Italy bans cultivated meat products 6 months ago:
Transmissible cancers do exist in animal kingdom. (Tasmanian devils for example). So caution is justified.
However, as far as I know, synthetic meat would be made out of muscle cells which are not immortalized.

Usually, patents have a lifetime for 20 years. Maybe you get an extension for 5 years. From were do you have the info that patents can be renewed?

And the photos were often photoshoped to show a smaller tail.
- Comment on Crispr gene editing shown to permanently lower hereditary high cholesterol 7 months ago:
Food intake has a very modest impact on cholesterol levels in people with familiar hypercholesteremia.
Like 10 % reduction when you are 500 % over safe levels.

Now think that happens to your shiny new car.
- Comment on The world's largest aircraft breaks cover in Silicon Valley 7 months ago:
The crew capacity seems to be limited for its size. Compared with airships from a century ago. No smoking salon :-) etc. Maybe its the helium instead of hydrogen?.
- Comment on Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. 8 months ago:
At least they loose exclusivity after 15 -20 years and generics are usually much cheaper.

That is not true. Small biotech usually cannot effort late stage development. They either just get buyed by big pharma. Or they licence the lead compound to big pharma and get royalties. Very few exemptions to this.

I was reading an old book about chromatography in laboratory and they exactly describe this method to determine the amount of substance.
- Comment on How to use RethinkDNS with apps like shelter ? 10 months ago:
To have a separate VPN for the work profile actually makes sense. You just don’t use the work profile for your employers apps and you use the VPN interface for a firewall application. But I feel your pain.
