If there is any testable variation then the best estimate we have for it should 
make that test regime easier; yes?
Now what I find most significant about these three papers is the specifically 
cryptographic approach. Your mileage may vary.
Maybe Jim, or fellow cypherpunk revolutionists can drill down with ' Professor 
Google "  and find some earlier examples using crypto to probe quantum-physics 
&/or cosmology.
Its would be a huge boost for cryptoanarchy were the TOE ( or GUT - grand 
unified theory ) be discovered to be based on what looks more and more ( Sear " 
Wheeler, H. Pagels, S. Lloyd " ) like a public-key-encryption universe.  No 
string theory below us - above us only ...anything!
If any Indymedia - smelling-cat style guerrilla journo's are lurking, I'd also 
appreciate a work up on the good professor Rhodes. I would do it myself but I'm 
no spring chicken any more and have had four operations since I was last here 
around 2003.

 Well over 10 years ago, I heard of an idea that the fine-structure constant 
might not be "constant":  It might be slowly varying over a period of billions 
of years, or by location.    I believe I recall reading a study that this had 
been determined by telescope analysis of light emitted  from galaxies maybe 10 
billion years ago.
And, I just found this by google ' "fine structure constant" "varying" '
https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/fine-structure-constant-may-vary-with-space-constant-in-time/


There was a proposal that using new kinds of clocks, the kind that seem to be 
becoming available (lattice clocks, ion clocks, etc) with accuracies of around 
1 part in 10*18, it should be possible to compare the frequencies of two such 
clocks that use different atoms or ions.   If the ratios of clock frequencies 
can be monitored over periods of months or years, it should be possible to see 
a variation in a reasonably short period.

Are you counting the Google employees in Debian as security exploits too?


Does debian distributes chromium with unpatched known bugs?

There was some discussion on the debian security mailing list
and it suggests debian distributes chromium with known public
exploits which are fixed upstream:

  I could
  see this coming. Either cooler heads prevail or the grievances get
  settled with violence. It’s our job to be the voice in between,
  not sit on the sidelines like high school band nerds sitting
  through a football game.

  From a market perspective the threat of a marginally-empowered
  Harris presidency with he slimmest House majority any party has
  held in decades and a divided Senate means nothing gets done until
  the mid-terms.

  And any attempt by Harris and Obama to legislate through Executive
  Order will result in even more dramatic events than we’ve seen to
  date, including secession.

  This is why Bitcoin, gold, silver and U.S. Treasuries exploded to
  the upside. Big money moved into the most liquid assets, UST’s,
  while the marginal flow piled into safe havens and those worried
  about cross-border capital controls are running into Bitcoin and
  cryptos.

  Everyone is holding their collective breath while we grind towards
  the Great Reset with most of the first world either under lockdown
  over last year’s flu or paralyzed by political shenanigans which
  makes the U.S. look like Venezuela.

  The rising euro is a function of the lockdowns and the local need
  for liquidity. The spasming bonds markets blew out a lot of carry
  and interest rate trades this week. While the dollar looks like
  it’s getting killed, what’s really happening is trades betting on
  Harris destroying capital have reversed.

  And the focus now turns to the wholesale destruction of European
  economies. Oh well, Europe was a good thing while it lasted. Enjoy
  the return of feudalism, folks, maybe there will be something left
  for me to visit before I die.

  We still have our guns, FYI.

  And this is why Trump isn’t going anywhere. The Deplorables now
  have to become The Ungovernables. No more negotiations,
  discussions, turning the other cheek, etc.

  Ungovernable. Just say no to Commies.

  What's the point of voting or even democracy at all if a few
  dozen angry black election officials in Philadelphia, Detroit,
  Milwaukee, and Atlanta can decide the entire thing?

  Hey man, don’t let the midwit, white women off the hook there… in
  this Civil War race has nothin’ to do with it.

  Because no matter what vote totals you manufacture or
  political/judicial arms you twist no one can rule for long without
  the consent of the governed.

  This is not a LARP nor a drill. It is a simple statement of fact.

  If the men who keep the engine of the world running refuse to show

  This is particularly true when nearly all of those men are armed

  The legal case is being built now to go to the State Legislatures,
  who are the ones who actually decide whose electors go to the
  Electoral College, and invalidate the votes in Pennsylvania,
  Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan, at a minimum.

  Getting those Republican-controlled legislatures to throw out the
  suggested results of a tainted election is exactly why the
  Electoral College exists. It is the last defense against mob rule
  and the corrupting nature of politics. The commies in the DNC and
  The Davos Crowd don’t like to hear that and frankly don’t care but
  that is the reality of it.

  That’s Trump’s path to the
