So I guess we will see more tentacles from now on...

The "network" you get from the phones you are mentioning are to the national *intranet*, not the internet. Only the highest hierarchies have access to the real internet via a monitored official Chinese proxy. People who are close to the Chinese border sometimes get some Chinese phone as a contraband with a Chinese SIM card, but those can only be used next to the borders where Chinese towers seep through North Korea. But it is extremely dangerous, if you are caught, you are dead.

You are missing the main fact: North Korea doesn't have internet already. It is self-imposed. It is not just "censored" internet like in China. It is no internet connectivity at all. Only their privileged citizens have access to a nationwide intranet, with curated national sites that looks like it is from the 90s or if you want to watch a soprano singing the national anthem, that type of stuff. But no internet at all.

What an ignorant comment. I hope you are a clueless teenager without any knowledge about history and the state of affairs about North Korea, because if you are an adult it is serious... It means you must be American lol Well, joking aside, let me tell you: North Korea doesn't have internet, period. NOBODY in the hermit state (why do you think it is called "hermit"?) can access the internet, with the exception of *very few* ultra elites (and even them don't have freedom to browse anything they like, their proxies block almost everything.) So what you propose, cutting all access to internet to the whole country, it is something they have been already doing it for themselves to avoid any kind of western influence to NK citizens. Their main worry are that their citizens would learn that other countries actually have a better standard of living that NK or get their heads contaminated with dangerous ideas such as "freedoms" or "democracies", which could sparkle discontent and ultimately a revolution. BTW these cyberwarfare operations are not done from North Korea, but from China. Not with an network connection to China, but geographically from China. The best CS graduates from the university are shipped to a specific hotel in China which functions as the base of training and operations for the North Korea intelligence unit, training NK graduates to become hackers with the assistance of seasoned Chinese hackers. That specific hotel is the base of operations for all the hacking, ransomware, cryptocurrency heists, and these IT workers fraud, etc... These "remote IT jobs" aren't from individuals in North Korea trying to get a freelance job, these are all intelligence officers trying to have a two pronged objective: siphon out money and gather information of targets as an insider. So what's gonna be your next genius idea? Cutting the internet to China? Haha

"Do you think copyright work?" Yes, it works wonderfully. You are looking at the trees, not the forest. They are using copyright laws to undermine privacy and security. Especially in Europe, but also in America. They are pushing ISPs into censor and persecute their own customers it is a case being fought right now in the supreme court, they also succeeded in implementing a "tax" on all physical storage media in Spain under the presumption that all storage media are gonna be used for piracy, for example. They are pushing DRMs that are basically rootkits for every "legal media" you download. Dude, this is being so pervasive that you haven't realized how much privacy an security we have given up already, like the frog in the casserole. We are freaking boiling and yet you think Copyright law is ineffectual?

Yeah, making money while stifling creativity. You know what Big Pharma could have lobbied to extend patent law to expire 200 years, destroying all generics, in the same way that Disney did. Also the irony is that Disney freaking plagiarized and used stories in the PUBLIC DOMAIN, and then they freaking closed the door behind them with this absurd law. They were the primary beneficiaries of using other people's work to create something, admittedly, beautiful and original. This is the very thing they are impeding with this hyperextension of the copyright law: new creative and derivative work, reinterpretation and expansion of the creative universe. Freaking hypocrites.

Almost every should be already in public domain. The same ethos for patents was supposed to cover for Copyrights: a temporary monopoly for the creator so they can live of it for a while, and then becoming public for the benefit of the invention/creation for the rest of humanity. The way that this got distorted so despairingly between patents and copyright is really an embarrassment. How makes any ethical sense for copyright to persist 150 years AFTER the death of it's author, while parents expire 20 years after it's invention? How is it that a freaking mouse drawn in a piece of paper can keep their exclusive exploitation right while medicine design patent expires in 15 years? Something is really wrong here. The law should be reformed so copyright become sane again, 15 to 20 years tops, and automatic extinction after the death of it's author.

Español is like saying "Chinese", and castellano is like saying "mandarin". Castellano is the actual name for the Spanish language, and Español is a very ambiguous way of referring to Castellano, which defaults to Castellano as it is the official language of the Kingdom of Spain (but there are more Spanish languages in the Iberian peninsula, like Catalan, Gallego, Basque, Asturloense, etc...) So for all practical purposes, in everyday parlance, Español AND Castillan are referring to the same language. Some Latin American speakers think that their latin American version of Spanish is called Castilian, and that the Iberian Spanish is called "Español", but that is some ignorant hypercorrection.

Clearly the planet is run by republicans gone wild! hehe

There isn't a vaccine against ignorance either, oh, wait, there is actually: it is called education. But I gotta give it to you, there isn't a vaccine against willful stupidity.

The research is decades old, but the criticisms of being a new tech are not completely unfounded. First, the only other mRNA vaccine developed for humans was for a completely unrelated disease. The "warp speed" development of a covid vaccine was extremely rushed, and we are all on on phase 4 pharmacovigilance. Typically phase 2 and 3 takes YEARS to get approved and tested. In fact, the vaccination schedule (about getting a second dosage in a few weeks) was done in function of the pandemic emergency, because that's what they have tested in the rushed clinical trials. We all knew that vaccines typically have a most potent effect after at least six months of priming the immune system (which is what I did for myself), and later studies provided support of this. All of this was improvised as we went, and usually all that data comes from research subjects in clinical trials, not the population itself.

That's not how mutation works in RNA viruses. The mutation happens regardless, randomly. What you seem to be suggesting is that is we let it run it's course naturally, we would have gotten less strains lol Well, that's not how it works.

If you actually cared to read a book, you would know that your idea was already explored by Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. You will never come up with an original idea unless you care to read what was though about before you.

Read the article and read the paper: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citation... Ad-hominem attacks are the antithesis of scientific work. Attack the work, not the author.

lol you are just copy pasting terms you don't understand. What you've posted has nothing to do with this discovery.
