I don't understand this need to push eating insects onto people. The "intellectual" point of view makes it even funnier.
Food is not just the sum of proteins and carbohydrates. It is wrong on so many levels to suggest that because insects are protein rich then they must be good.
I was honestly shocked by Americans not being aware of the quality of their food - it's horrible. Even in Whole Foods, or more expensive supermarkets, most of the food products are just processed crap that comes in a box. Even the quality of vegetables and fruit is questionable, the bacon is by default sweetened with sugar.
Every single European or far Easterner that comes to the US will gain 10kg without chaing their dietary habits. The reason is not too much food, or eating fast food, it is because the quality of food in the US is dreadful, all the way from the seed until the plate.
So maybe you want to eat insects, but we do not, and there is an absolute consensus about that. Hopefully one day Americans will learn what food is really supposed to be like, and start fixing their country (and health).
Jokes a bit on you, though, for I'm no American, and I certainly value good cuisine. But reflexively excluding insects from your meal options just because they "look scary" is just... not that smart. I suppose you eat shrimps just as fine as anyone, don't you?
I never said that you were American, and I didn't say insects looked scary.
Insisting on pushing insects for food, because of the fear that a regular western diet is not sustainable, or eco-friendly, is not smart, and is actually scary.
My critique of Americanism does not only target America, but the global American culture, which is essentially California or Bay culture, which most of this bord adheres to. I am shocked by how many people on this website disregards the fact that a total and absolute majority of Italians (and all Europeans and many others) are against allowing insect for human consumption, and do not want moral lectures from people whose food is literally criminal, highly processed, completely unregulated and very unhealthy.
Again, food is not just a sum of calories and proteins, there are no magic pills which regulate your total daily nutritional intake.
I believe scaling is accomplished in this case by having each node handle encryption. The fiber transport itself need not encrypt the payload. There are cases where businesses encrypt their leased dark fiber for compliance reasons so their limit would be whatever their VPN routers/appliances can handle at the time.
The linked article mentions the Riemann hypothesis, but the author claims to have proven the Landau-Siegel conjecture https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-03689-2, which is weaker than the Riemann hypothesis. An impressive result, nevertheless (if confirmed to be valid).
It seems that some people are less worthy of others. (Mostly) ignoring decades and decades of constant war, and hundreds of thousands of deaths, just because of - what? The "other side" is the enemy? The "other side" lives far? The "other side" is of a different religion? The "other side" has a different skin colour?
I also find it kind of hypocritical (but isn't that to be expected in war politics) of the European NATO members that they were completely fine with breaking up Yugoslavia, arming separatist movements, taking sides in a civil war and bombarding a sovereign country, and then ending it up with another war and a three month (THREE MONTHS) constant bombing of a sovereign country with the use of weapons with depleted uranium. This led to some Italian army members receiving hefty compensations from Italy after they were diagnosed with cancer. I talked with some of them, this is actually how I found out about the subject. In the end that money is worthless when you know that you have cancer. And what I am most appalled by is the fact that my generation knows nothing about this, and that the people that suffered the bombs cannot do anything about it. They live with the traumas from the bombardment and with the fear that them or their children will one day get cancer.
> constant bombing of a sovereign country with the use of weapons with depleted uranium.
You don't "bomb a country" with depleted uranium. That's used for its high density, which gives a lot of kinetic energy to conventional ammunition made out of it: Armour-penetrating shots. Anti-tank ammo, not bombs.
Regarding the swimming issue, there is no underwater photo at the website which you linked, but one can google it, and it clearly shows that Phelps came in second. Arguments were made by Omega that the finish pad did not register Cavic's press on time since the force used was not enough.
Moral of the story is that human error (be that of a mechanical nature) will always exist, but more care should be given in competitive sports.
If you do not have the means to decide the winner, call it a tie, but if you do, even at the cost of a 350,000 photo/sec camera, then do it, but by all means do it correctly, because it might cost someone a gold medal at the Olympic games, and for the sake of people who put their life into competitive sports, this should not happen.
Apart from Omega's and FINA's statements that Cavic touched first, but Phelps was the first to trigger the mechanism with enough force, you can find the photos here
