Human embryos do have immature gills, but they are reused to create ears, jaw, tonsils, thymus, parathyroids and the large arteries in the neck and upper chest. We could add extra pairs and try to turn them into actual gills, although that would require removing the aortic arch and forcing all blood through the gills. Connecting them to the pulmonary system is not possible, as lungs and gills need different pressures (that's the whole reason we have two circuits). Maybe we could connect them in parallel to the aorta? That would only work as a backup, but with an adequate vasomotor system could do a nice job!

The process node is not a real resolution, just a marketing term, feature sizes for 5 nm are in the few tens of nanometers. And chinese foundry SMIC uses quadruple patterning to get those feature sizes from less powerful lithography tools.

Sorry! I meant Private Information Retrieval, that could allow metadata-hiding messaging.

Nah we are basically immersed in a housing crisis, so no right to that. And every time an actual leftist party succeeds, our media basically unite against it while pretending to accept them. You can call it a "lesser evil", but I would even doubt that, since China is probably talking about us the same way we talk about them.

Depends a lot on where you live. In many countries, communism is simply considered "radical/violent" rather than "authoritarian", and one is not considered a leftist of any sort unless they defend a leftist stance on the economy (progressive views on social issues may not be described as leftist everywhere).

I wouldn't consider it an ideological thing, but more of a strategic decision by Xi et al.

No, the vagina is topologically a hole, as the uterus with the Fallopian tubes has two direct openings into the abdominal cavity (another objectionable "design" choice).

My bad, the downvotes got me confused.

Many people are targeted around the world for their beliefs. That includes activists, journalists and other people who "haven't done anything wrong".

I guess we could make one using newer FHE-RAM techniques and some edge case handling.

I like this perspective of yours. I may as well expand the range of activities of mine I call hobbies.
