So signal is having technical difficulties due to user influx. Signal didn't want to decentralize because it wanted to be able to continue to provide a reliable exoerience. Yet here they are unable to provide a reliable experience BECAUSE they are centralized.

In two weeks we're starting our MSc course Research Seminar Data Science in which students review papers. While reviewing is really important in science, it is also good to realize that peer reviewing is a relatively new invention. Many important scientific discoveries, like Einstein's theory of relativity (1905) or the double helical structure of DNA by Watson and Crick (1953) were not peer reviewed by modern standards.
