@stf Identity-based crypto uses pairings. There are probably a few companies using this, but I don't know of any specifically
@gittaca "inactivated" is a vague term that means different things in these two contexts, so the assumption that a virus irradiated with UV light is interchangeable with a virus inactivated via selection/modification for negligible virulence is a false one, generally speaking.
My promised background on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This is often a very controversial topic, and I believe we should have more informed debates about it. Primarily one should understand that not all CCS projects are the same, and that the way CCS was done in the past is really incompatible with a climate-neutral future. https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/can-ccs-escape-from-its-fossil-fuel-industry-roots.html
Can CCS Escape from its Fossil Fuel Industry Roots?

Carbon capture and storage could help stop carbon dioxide emissions that are otherwise hard to avoid. But the technology is surrounded by controversies and is closely tied to the fossil fuel industry.

Twitter is such a time waste...

So I thought I'd come here to waste even more time

@stf Surprising because you assumed they'd be in Ukraine special operationing?

great quote from Landaus #web #crypto post:

> web-based ā€œ#E2Eā€ applications claim to secure against malice on the part of the server operator using encryption implemented in client-side #JavaScript, but this is obviously not true, since if the server operator was malicious, they could just push different client-side JavaScript. (Conversely, entities other than the server operator are secured against via use of TLS, so there is no additional benefit to ā€œE2Eā€ if you trust the server operator.)

new law, hugo landaus law:

A cryptosystem is incoherent if its implementation is distributed by the same entity which it purports to secure against.

@drwhax Uh, how is that possible? šŸ˜‚

Still my favorite segment about why it's a bad idea to participate in bad-faith "debates" about science. They only result in further amplifying disinformation.

"People still think this issue is open to debate, because on TV it is. It's always one person for one person against. When you look at the screen, it's 50/50, which is inherently misleading."

@TRyanGregory For them, anything less than some notion of perfection is equivalent to total betrayal of the cause.
