Updating some slides about data sharing just now and was greeted by this banner at the top of the NDAR (AKA NIMH data archive, NDA, nda.nih.gov/) homepage. I don't know when the banner appeared; I last visited the site maybe a month ago.

Many NIH-funded human neuroscience-related projects are required to submit data (behavioral questionnaires, neuroimaging, many others) to NDAR, including some of the largest US fMRI projects (HCP, ABCD).

I consider its Data Dictionary a "least-bad" way to usefully share questionnaire data (it's no help to know that someone answered "5" to item 3 without knowing the question and answer that refers to).

Anyone know anything about the banner or NDAR's future?

Hey #Sling #SlingTV, why am I paying ~$50/mo to not be able to watch TV?

FYI, I’m using #ProtonVPN on my router not to circumvent media deals or whatever TF your rules are, but to protect my family’s privacy from my ISP and fascist government. The VPN server I’m connected to is local, you just don’t like that you can’t track my viewing habits, I’m guessing.

Well fuck you then.

Cryptography Handbook takeaways:
➡️Transition from Euler Totient Functions to Carmichael Functions for key generation, reduced decryption time without compromising security.
➡️Libraries like OpenSSL integrate Carmichael Function for RSA operations, ensuring compliance with standards.
➡️RSA's vulnerabilities due to deterministic and malleable properties were pivotal in shaping cryptographic standards.
