Strangely, this might be a bug. The community is on kbin.social, which my home instance is definitely federated with. Searching through the history of my kbin account from lemmy shows no posts or comments to that one specific community (!WanderingInn@kbin.social). @ljdawson, any clue about this?
MIT engineers created a carbon-cement supercapacitor that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black, the device could form the basis for inexpensive systems that store intermittently renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy.
“There was a time that I didn’t know if I was even going to live, or if I wanted to, frankly. And now, I can feel the touch of someone holding my hand. It’s overwhelming," said Keith Thomas, the patient who received the revolutionary treatment.
The article is about unpaid rent from the covid era. You can only make the landlords take on the debt for so long before larger financial repercussions occur. The right solution would have been for the state to take it on, but that would require *gasp*socialism
Chinese listed owner. Chinese representative. Mysterious purpose with unknown source of funds. Not too hard to connect the dots.
Edit: Apparently people don't realise Chinese can refer to ethnicity as well as nationality. Yes, it would be ideal if we had different terms for the two.
Buddy, see my username? Yeah, that's a Chinese name. I of all people know exactly what the difference is between Chinese ethnicity and Chinese nationality.
With that said, the majority of Chinese business people have some connection or other to China, be it family, business, or otherwise. Combine that with the context here of mysterious purpose (but probably bioweapons), unknown funding source and complete lack of any commercial purpose, etc etc, and it's not a hard conclusion to draw.
You'd be surprised how often I get accused of being racist against Chinese. Like it's verboten to have a nuanced and balanced view of a group of people if you aren't part of that group.
In your extensive experience, how common are unlicensed biotech R&D facilities being run in secret? And I see no reason being capable of biotech R&D would preclude it from being capable of more malicious purposes. If anything, I'd assume a significant amount of overlap between the two capabilities.
I don't see how it's cheaper to maintain an entire facility and staff just to take care of unwanted items, but I concede it's a possibility, bureaucracy and inertia being what it is.
