Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

HISTORIC NUCLEAR PLEDGE AT COP28 DUBAI: SIXTEEN COUNTRIES AIM TO TRIPLE GLOBAL NUCLEAR BY 2050
Joined by IAEA, the following are signing, many with heads of state present:
USA, France, UK, Canada, UAE, South Korea, Japan, Belgium (!!), Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechia, Finland
Nothing like this with nuclear has ever happened at these climate conferences. Some of these countries had active nuclear phaseout policies as recently as earlier this year!
China, India, and Russia are already actively building to essentially triple their nuclear, and Russia and China's customer countries aren't even in this event, they're just actually doing it now.
More details to come

Delighted to share with you our latest paper. Here, we test the hypothesis that aging may be driven by DNA damage-induced changes to the epigenome. Mightbe due to a glitch in the software of the body that causes it to malfunction, which can be fixed with a reboot?👇 1/

I was always wondering what's the difference between Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Now I know: Google knows about every f*cking payment you make, while Apple doesn't.

they use webauthn for identity, more info here: internetcomputer.org/docs/cu…
webauthn is going to be a big deal soon as apple and google intend to use it to get rid of passwords on websites: developer.apple.com/passkeys…

Errr this seems like a risky and terrible idea. If ETH drops a lot, value of collateral would go way down but CDPs would not get liquidated, so the whole system would risk becoming a fractional reserve.

(1/15) Token Standards and Composability
ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626...
ETC - WTF
Confused what @ethereum token standards are and why they matter? Interested in knowing which tokens are for what purpose? Want to understand the big picture?
This is the thread for you!

This can even be extended to other hardware contexts, such as hardware security keys like Yubikeys. If you can prove that you have a security key (without revealing which specific security key) you can get anonymous tokens to bypass CAPTCHAs!

This too is now widely used. Not only are hundreds of thousands of people using the Privacy Pass browser plugin, but Private Access Tokens (PATs) are supported in millions of iPhones to reduce the number of CAPTCHAs people see!

The Privacy Pass group at the IETF uses zero-knowledge proofs and more to help create portable proofs of humanity. This lets people who can prove that they have a valid computer obtain anonymous tokens that can be cashed at websites to prove that they're not a bot.

Spoke with @digitalprivacy re @Apple @Google's #COVID19 app. TLDR: Ticks all the boxes at the app-level in terms of good #privacybydesign methods. Zooming out to what Apple/Google already know about us, it's more complicated. Core issue is the lack of any laws to limit the harms.
The privacy protections on the planned Apple-Google COVID-19 platform could be abused, experts tell Digital Privacy News. @jbensonwrites digitalprivacy.news/?p=917 #privacy #google #apple #COVID2019
