Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Reason #49583 for any Russian with a degree to get out of the country.
I feel second-hand embarrassment for journalists, analysts and politicians who, for many years, portrayed Putin as this shrewd master strategist - whereas in reality, he's merely another brutish, mediocre autocrat, repeating all of the same obvious mistakes similar rulers have made for millennia.
Physics. Stress on hypersonic air frame in atmosphere.
Who is this Physics guy? Arrest him at once!
better yet, let's throw him out a window and see if he can prove his hypothesis on the way down
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At least 12 scientists in Russia have been detained in politically motivated arrests linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin's much-touted hypersonic missile program, it has been reported.
ITPM director Alexander Shiplyuk and researchers Anatoly Maslov and Valery Zvegintsev were arrested in May 2023, accused of passing secrets to China.
TASS, Russia's leading news agency, reported that a treason case could be linked to a 2021 publication in an Iranian scientific journal.
He had been arrested in April 2021 and denied charges of passing materials to colleagues in the Netherlands, with whom he collaborated on the HEXAFLY-INT, the world's first civil hypersonic airliner.
TsNIIMash physicist Vladimir Kudryavtsev faced a treason case, but the 78-year-old died of complications linked to cancer before he could stand trial, Russian media outlet RBC reported.
Another TsNIIMash scientist, Roman Kovalev, was sentenced to seven years in 2020 but released due to ill health and in April 2022 died of cancer, state news agency Interfax reported.
