In Brazil you can register your cpf (brazilian social security number) on the "Registrato", a Brazilian Central Bank system, and from that point on no new bank/payments account can be created on your name. You have to go to "Registrato" first and remove your name from it. It's amazing that the US doesn't have it. In Brazil you also can put your cpf on a list that forbids it from being added as an owner/partner on any company. I keep my cpf on both lists and sleep peacefully at night.

Just my 2 cents: never pay for any "teeth grinding protection" plaques. I have severe bruxism, and when I was a teenager was taken by my parents to a dentist that made one for me. It sucks, and is a waste of money. Just buy a good boxing mouth guard, silicon based ones are the best, and use it. No need to complicate things, what destroys your teeth is the friction between the upper teeh and the lower ones. Just put a softer barrier between them, and voila. The best teeth protection money can buy for 10 dollars.

Lito Souza is a brazilian influencer. He has a Youtube channel dedicated to aviation education, history and news, with 4 million subscribers. He's the most kind soul you can ever meet.

At the beginning of August, he started having difficulty controlling his left arm, and the doctors, at first, thought it could be a complication of his recent prostate cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, last week it became confirmed that Lito was suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

CJD is a relatively obscure disease, and in Brazil, for the average Brazilian, it was pretty much a complete unknown ailment.

Now the whole country is in tears watching the developments. His wife, Mila, started a campaign trying to get Lito on any one of the clinical trials currently being made.

Specifically, there are 2 CJD clinical trials being done in Harvard at the moment:

@ionis_pharma — ION717 trial @broadinstitute — PRiSM trial

Everybody knows what the prognosis for prion diseases are. Mila knows it. Lito knows it. They are just asking for a chance at having hope. They only want to be allowed a compassionate use exemption.

I've seen more grown men cry those last few days down here in Brazil than I ever saw in my whole life. I never cried for a parasocial relationship before, but... if you are Brazilian, and you followed this guy, you would understand. The world will be worse the day Lito is not here with us anymore.

Same here, I stopped reading right when he said this idiotic "guy from 300 years ago - when science as we know it basically only existed within the realm of white european culture" didnt thought about the rest of the world BS

These AI generated proofs have something akin to the quantum algorithms that can generate a response that would take 1 billion years of processing to finish on a classical computer. How do you test them to see if the result was correct?

Yandex is great. When you want to see news/sites/whatever that does not conform to what the western mainstream powers "accepts as acceptable", you can go to Yandex and you will find it there. When Google search went to shit some years ago I discovered Yandex and found out how much of the web was being deliberately kept away from my eyes. You need search engines from every major power broker in the world to get a full picture of what we arrogantly like to call "truth".
