Ha! encore un petite loi passée en douce… Pour moi, le pire, c’est que la plupart des téléphone portable sont basés sur Linux (Android) ou bien Darwin/BSD (Ios) (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)). Ils ont utilisé le logiciel libre de façon à pouvoir imposer leur propre propriété intellectuelle.

>>> “En quoi consiste l’initiative ? Entre autres, la loi fédérale sur le droit d’auteur ( LFDA ) et le code pénal fédéral envisage des amendes millionnaires et des années de prison pour ceux qui reproduisent ou retransmettent du contenu, modifient des logiciels ou réparent du matériel sans autorisation.”

Again with territorial disputes. I am surprised to learn that about birds singing.

>>>
“Birds sing to mark their territories and attract prospective mates. Traditionally, white-throated sparrows in western and central Canada sing a song distinguished by its three-note ending.”

What I found the most frustrating about this whole COVID thing is that some government got between us and our physicians by banning the use of this hydrochloroquine. The pretext was that if we start using it for COVID, patients that really needs it for other diseases would miss it. That is absurd. That thing cost almost nothing to produce and if you can afford to pay everybody some money to “stay at home”, you can certainly afford to boost production on that stuff.  If it does not cost much it should not be very difficult to make.  There is no proof that it is working. Come on!! For a while it was the only thing that had a CHANCE of working.  If I am dying I will take that chance, specially if my doctor can prescribe it to me legally.
That is the real problem with socializing medical care, doctors are no more in control. The same when you let a group of insurance company control medical care.

“What we found is that of those patients treated with hydroxychloroquine there was a 13% overall mortality; in the patients that were not treated with hydroxychloroquine there was a 26% mortality,” said Dr. Steven Kalkanis, CEO of Henry Ford Medical Group.

It looks like this continent will lead the way into REAL use of cryptocurrencies.  I mean the use of cryptos as money to exchange goods and services.

>>>

““Africa is one of, if not the most promising region for the adoption of cryptocurrencies. This is due to its unique combination of economic and demographic trends. While the overall adoption is relatively low, the potential is enormous, the growth is rapid, and the development is likely to become defining for the cryptocurrency industry going forward.””

Warming or cooling, that is the question.

” > The mainstream propaganda media has milked Siberia’s June heatwave to within an inch of its life. Tens of thousands of alarming, one-sided articles have been released onto the web like a plague of obfuscation.”

Another example of how Intellectual Property laws are actually slowing human progress.

“… we found that articles downloaded from Sci-hub were cited 1.72 times more than papers not downloaded from Sci-hub and…”

At least, with bitcoin, there is less possibilities of fake bitcoins.

“One of China’s largest gold jewelry manufacturers, Kingold Jewelry Inc., has been using fake gold to secure loans…”

This is another example about too much relying on a single entity.  I would prefer a peer to peer video platform like https://peer.tube/ and ask for money like patreon for support.  I think people will donate happily to good content.  There is no need for a middlemen to get a cut on creators revenue.

“…Stefan Molyneux, received more than $100,000 in cryptocurrency donations after he was banned from Youtube on June 29, 2020. ”

This is a good lesson for people who use cryptos to only transfer fiat money from one place to another.  One can’t rely on something that is controlled by another (ie: fiat money).   It is best to leave it in cryptos IMO.

“Governments in nearly 100 countries have been sharing offshore bank account information…”

COVID19 is real, everything around it is questionable like usual.  This is a very good analysis of the surrounding of that phenomenon in Canada.

“…being the 153rd anniversary of Confederation, I would like to follow Laurier’s example, exercising my freedom to question and my duty to preserve our civil liberties. ”

Interesting to me because I think I was born left handed and then “forced” to use my right hand when learning to  write.  I use my right hand to write but mostly my left hand to do everything else, specially in sports like golf or baseball or hockey.  This next text is mostly debunking the myth that military leaders are best with the left hand.

“While there may (or may not) be some truth to the claim, it is a mistake to make a rule out of such anecdotal evidence and cherry-picked data. ”

Apparently left-handed people would get electrical stimulation on the wrong side of the brain when getting therapy about depression and recalcitrant anxiety.  Their emotion brain hemispheres seems to be reversed.

“Treatment for the most common mental health problems could be ineffective or even detrimental to about 50 percent of the population, according to a radical new model…”

I find this interesting;

“KENNEDY: No. What we know about coronavirus from 30 years of experience is that a coronavirus vaccine has a unique peculiarity, which is any attempted making of the vaccine has resulted in the creation of a class of antibodies that actually make vaccinated people sicker when they ultimately suffer exposure to the wild virus. ”
