He split the data into 50 packets. He was asking for $100k per packet, or $5mil. They nabbed him after the first packet.

The need for such a daring mission reeks of failure.

Yes, we should have never entered Afghanistan.

Has there been any controlled study on the efficacy of Sputnik V? I haven't heard of any.

You're asking if there has been any controlled study of Sputnik V, a vaccine which has been administered to millions?

No need to even go there. Elena Ferrante got made a few years ago simply by tracking royalties payments. Most lit pseudonyms are broken by simple gossip.

Is Ferrante known with certainty?

The Analogue Pocket[1] is exactly this (albeit proprietary). Out of the box it recreates GB, GBC, and GBA using the Altera Cyclone-V platform.

I wonder, why is there no DIY Analogue Pocket-style MiSTer project? Is the DE10-Nano too large or inefficient for this?

But there is no neurogenesis of human dopaminergic neurons in the adult substantia nigra.

To create the organoid model, they used fibroblasts to generate induced pluripotent stem cells, and then differentiated these into neurons in culture. As an experimental model, this is fine, but it is not particularly indicative of actual human biology.

The most you could probably infer from this paper is that IF there were dopaminergic progenitors in the human substantia nigra (there aren't), they MIGHT respond this way if you deleted PINK1.

For my own understanding: how can we confidently assert that this is true?

Though I can't say no member states recognize him, the sources on Wikipedia are largely tweets and I'm not sure how up to date they are, the EU as a whole has retracted their support for him as interim president.
