Where is the EU's 'Navalny'? This abuse at every level wasn't about justice, it was about money - namely money that can be grabbed from ordinary Europeans for the benefit of some vicious, greedy law firms and multinational corporations. A few years ago we ran a series about what had become of the EPO's internal tribunals, which were basically acting like "yes men" of the corrupt regime. It's what one might expect to find in Russia, not the EU, but things change. The legal system has deteriorated to benefit the few, who control the political systems, the political parties, the media, legislation, judges and so on. Earlier today we saw some interesting comments regarding the BoA at EPO. One comment said: "What strikes me in the various decisions supporting a requirement to adapt the description to the claims is that a variety of different justifications are cited. There's Art. 84 itself, there's Art. 69 and the Protocol, as well as Rule 43 and Rule 48. These decisions can't even agree on the legal basis in the EPC for adapting the description - because there is none. Instead, they're all just grabbing at straws, trying to find an excuse to continue a practice that the EPO, in contrast to every other patent [monopoly] office in the world, for some reason thinks is absolutely critical to legal certainty for third parties." There are some more comments there to that effect. "Like often at the EPO," one said, "the pendulum has swung happily in the other direction and it is manifest that some of the amendments carried out in the communication under R 71(3) were unreasonable, if not pedantic." Here's the full comment: Anonymous of Monday 21 October 2024 at 15:21:00 GMT+ If you have read my comment carefully you will undoubtedly see that I have given a legal basis for the adaptation of the description: Art 84, support of the claims. If you had not realised, Art 84 has two prongs: clarity in the ordinary sense and support of the claims by the description. In view of this legal requirement, the EPO has to “engage in this discussion [even] when the claims are clear in themselves”. On top of this, I have given two examples in which the description ought to be adapted. I fail to see any counterargument in your comment. That EDs have become more rigorous with the adaptation of the description is the result of a survey that at grant, in a significant number of cases, the description was not adapted to the amended claims. Like often at the EPO, the pendulum has swung happily in the other direction and it is manifest that some of the amendments carried out in the communication under R 71(3) were unreasonable, if not pedantic. This is certainly not acceptable, but it does not free the EPO and the applicants to abide by the EPC as it stands. I agree that “The EPO is responsible for the examination part of the patent, and with the exception of opposition, everything else post- grant will be dealt with by national courts or the UPC”. With the EPC as it stands, the bare minimum for the EPO is to deliver or maintain patents in accordance with the EPC. An broad claim need not be unclear. That Art 84 has not been considered as a ground of opposition was due to the fact that some twisted minds could always find claims unclear. The UK delegation at EPC 2000 has attempted again to introduce Art 84 as a ground of opposition. This was not followed by the other contracting states for the same reason. In T 447/22, commented in my blog, the board held that in view of G 3/14, there were limits of the adaptation of the description after amendment in opposition. A pre-existing inconsistency cannot be removed in opposition. The adaptation of the description has to be limited to the amendments of the claims allowing maintenance. “Roche has decided to object to this trend and has successfully pushed back on it more than once” This is correct, Roche has found an open ear with one specific legal member. Beside the decision of this legal member, I have found little more decisions besides the present one, i.e. T 1989/18 and T 1444/20, all three drafted by the same legal member, T 2194/19, which is also unconvincing, and T 438/22, which considers that claim-like clauses do not have to be deleted. Those few decisions weight little compared to the bulk of decisions requiring the adaptation of the description. Another comment said: "Most representatives did not complain because they did not see the need to risk delaying the grant of their clients' patents." The full lot: Where is the legal basis? It's great to read that you disagree with the decision, but your main counter-argument seems to be that it was done similarly in the past, and therefore, it should be legal. No legal basis was provided except for an extension of what Article 84 could potentially be used for. This requirement to amend the specification has only recently started to be applied more rigorously by the EPO (5 years). Most representatives did not complain because they did not see the need to risk delaying the grant of their clients' patents. In contrast, Roche has decided to object to this trend and has successfully pushed back on it more than once. The question that remains for me, and that you have not addressed, is why the EPO would want to be involved in a step where there is no clear basis for it. The EPO is responsible for the examination part of the patent, and with the exception of opposition, everything else post-grant will be dealt with by national courts or the UPC. So, why should the EPO engage in this discussion when the claims are clear in themselves? If the requirement to amend the specification to reflect the allowable claims should allegedly be based on Article 84, why is it not an opposition ground? In the travaux préparatoires, the only reason Article 84 was advocated to be added to the grounds of opposition was to avoid overly broad claims that were not supported by the specification. If this does not clearly show why Article 84 was never intended to be used in the way you suggest, then it is true that nothing said by any board will convince you that this practice by the EPO is going beyond what they need to do. Let this be a reminder that the EPI operates outside the rule of law, it breaks the law, and judges in the area of patents became merely 'some formality', informally given a seat just to serve the rich and the powerful (sometimes they work in private firms at the same time they act as judges!). Get well soon, Europe. █ ⠀⠁⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡽⠀⠀⣄⠀⢸⡇⠀⢢⠀⠀⠀⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠳⡄⠈⠋⢆⢠⠄⢀⡆⠠⠤⢬⣁⣧⠺⢿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣯⢃⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⢷⢃⡛⢲⡿⢷⠄⣿⠀⣤⡵⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠀⠀⣀⢨⡿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠤⢍⣻⡟⢿⣿⣿⣋⣭⣰ ⣤⣤⣀⢈⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⠿⢿⠃⠾⠁⡸⠇⢸⢀⣿⣴⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢡⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠟⠈⣤⠇⠀⣄⢼⣂⣒⠃⣀⣠⡙⠽⣶⣮⣿⣏⡿⠓ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⣠⣌⣤⣄⣠⣥⣄⣸⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢋⣤⣴⠈⠻⢿⣿⣟⠏⡰⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢮⣠⠆⣴⠿⠞⠁⠀⠙⠂⠽⢿⣛⣧⡄⡭⣷⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠟⣉⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣤⣶⣶⣯⣍⠀⠁⠰⠆⠉⠑⠂⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡠⠃⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣭⣿⣷⣿⡿⡷ ⠛⠁⠹⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡘⢿⢏⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⣽⡿⣿⣿⠿⣏⣹⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣳⡿⣠⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡨⠓⢖⣀⣠⣨⡅⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⠉⠨⠞⠒ ⠂⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡀⢺⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠉⣠⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠈⠀⠘⣿⠉⠑⢿⣇⠛⡄⠀⠈⢁⡀⠀⠀⣟⢠⡾⠛⢋⣿⣿⣻⣷⣦⣆⣠⠄⢀⠀⠐⠀ ⠀⠘⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠆⠀⠸⢿⡿⢻⡿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡴⠂⠀⠀⠀⠨⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠈⣧⡀⠀⣿⠿⢥⠀⢼⣿⡿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣤⡾⣷⠆⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⣿⣧⠊⠀⠐⣾⣿⣯⣁⣀⣤⣤⣀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⡼⠂⠈⠿⠿⢿⠛⢁⣴⣂⡀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣦⠠⢾⡇⠀⣿⡂⠀⠛⢶⢿⣧⣸⣗⣾⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣇⣽ ⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠿⠋⠀⢸⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠉⣶⣶⣤⣤⣿⣿⡿⢷⣗⡂⠀⠀⠀⠿⢶⡌⠘⣿⡿⠆⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⢻⣄⡀⠐⢼⣿⣿⠆⠀⠑⠗⡷⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣂ ⣶⣄⣀⣠⠞⠉⠀⢰⡄⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡉⡤⠀⠈⠁⠀⠉⠻⡀⣈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠁⠀⠈⠁⠠⠟⠋⡏⠀⠀⠐⠀⠁⠀⢰⡿⣟⣿⣿⢿⣟⠛⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⢐⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢇⣴⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣴⣆⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⢿⠟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣆⣴⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⡈⠛⣿⣿⣿⡝⢁⣚⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠉⢍⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⢿⣿⣀⡶⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠈⠀⣽⣿⣿⡋⠀⢛⣁⣠⣞⣿⣿⣷⢻⣿⣿⠀⠸⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢄⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⣤⠣⣴⣷⣤⡀⢰⣿⣻⣷⣾⣿⣟⠿ ⠀⠈⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⣀⠀⢽⡟⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠛⠂⡀⠀⠼⣿⣥⣶⣶⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣏⡨⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠢⣹⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣴⠀⠀⡀⡇⢸⠂⠻⠿⣻⠍⣻⣿⣿⡿⣽⡬⣿⣦ ⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠓⡜⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠆⠀⢴⡂⠀⠈⠀⣠⡄⠠⣿⡿⠁⣠⠾⠇⡗⢀⢾⣿⣿⣷⢾⡿⣿⣟⣷⢿⢁⠿⣹ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠈⠛⠻⠿⢿⡿⠟⠛⠻⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⢸⣟⣻⣿⣷⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣄⡈⣇⠀⠀⠀⠱⣾⣿⠟⠀⠸⠋⢀⣐⠀⠀⡀⢉⠙⣥⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⡟⣴⠋ ⠿⢟⣿⣦⣄⣠⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠛⢛⡛⠀⢀⣀⠀⣸⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠈⠻⣅⠈⠻⡗⠀⠀⠘⠇⠀⠀⠀⢴⡮⠻⢙⣷⣷⣯⣿⣛⣿⡿⣿⡿⣹⠹⢿⣁⣦ ⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣠⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠋⢢⣿⣿⣻⠋⢹⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡆⢺⣆⡤⠽⣤⣶⣿⣄⣠⣶⣿⣿⡤⠉⠨⣯⡟⠏⠴⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⣿⣽ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢠⣶⣶⣶⣦⣴⣶⣖⡿⣟⣭⠿⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣧⣵⣼⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠀⣀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣤⡞⣧⠁⠓⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⢰⣿⣽⣿ ⠿⠋⠀⠘⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⢸⣿⡿⠟⢫⣵⣶⣾⣿⠿⠛⢥⡇⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣧⡀⢀⣺⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠿⠳⢿⠆⠋⢹⣿⣿⠀⠀⢻⣟⣵⠙⣼⣿⣺⣷⣉⠿ ⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢱⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠘⣿⣤⣹⣿⢻⣋⣸⣿⣩⣿⣿⣾⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡹⣏⣠⣦⣶⣿⣦⣠⣾⣾⡇⣀⣬⡟⣻⣷⣿⣙⡏⡸⣷⣮ ⣿⡟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣹⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣽⡿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣼⠋⣰⣿⣿⢻⣯⣽⣿⡾⠙ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⠟⢻⣟⠉⡻⠏⠙⠻⣻⡿⣹⡿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡛⢿⡿⣿⢟⣻⣿⡿⣿⢿⢶⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⡘⢿⣿⡿⣽⢿⣿⣿⡀⠀ ⣷⣦⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢷⣾⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣧⣀⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⡇⠁⠰⡖⠠⢼⡏⠉⢰⠠⣾⣿⠟⢻⣿⢛⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢯⣸⡿⢧⣴⣲⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠗⢹⣿⣿⡗⢡⣼⣿⡜⢹⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡀⢀⣤⠀⠀⠈⣀⡐⣿⢖⣪⣶⣿⢋⣴⢎⣴⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡵⣿⣽⣿⣟⡿⠟⢛⣼⣿⠷⣄⣝⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⡴⣾⠻ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 254 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/22/IRC_Proceedings_Monday_October_21_2024.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/22/IRC_Proceedings_Monday_October_21_2024.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Monday, October 21, 2024⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Mushrooms_Edible_Food_Forest⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #techrights_log #boycottnovell_log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log #techbytes_log =============================================================================== The corresponding text-only bulletins for_Tux_Machines and for_Techrights contain all the text.

Some of them just get plagiarised by bots. There's other blogspam about this. Torvalds already expressed frustration about it years ago, even in public, so this headline is misleading. Slashot just links to Phoronix linkspam. Here's the original: On Sun, 20 Oct 2024 at 16:11, Josh Poimboeuf wrote: > > Until it's s/think/know/ can we please put something in place? Honestly, I'm pretty damn fed up with buggy hardware and completely theoretical attacks that have never actually shown themselves to be used in practice. So I think this time we push back on the hardware people and tell them it's *THEIR* damn problem, and if they can't even be bothered to say yay-or-nay, we just sit tight. Because dammit, let's put the onus on where the blame lies, and not just take any random shit from bad hardware and say "oh, but it *might* be a problem". Linus Relevant and in the news this week: Baidu_CEO_warns_Hey_Hi_(AI)_is_just_an inevitable_bubble_—_99%_of_Hey_Hi_(AI)_companies_are_at_risk_of_failing_when the_bubble_bursts Baidu's CEO recently predicted that once the Hey Hi (AI) bubble bursts, 99% of companies involved will go under, though he believes this process will benefit the market.

There are only 9 weeks left until Christmas! My SO and I went on a road trip recently and I did over 11 hours of driving, which is quite a lot. Crowded highways at night are not much fun, but when they're empty and you put on some Vaporwave or City Pop, it's an interesting experience. Especially in Japan. # ⚓ evolution_revolution.⠀⇛ It's by actively participating in our own evolution that a profound change can happen in our human culture. There's no time to wait for government and corporation to guide us in the right direction. We have to take action ourselves. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Chokepoint_Capitalism,_Hourglass-shaped_Markets⠀⇛ Chokepoint capitalism is a model of economic activity where goods flow from creators to consumers via a tightly controlled, corporate-owned channel. Chokepoints exist across a range of industries, but the current state of cultural markets in a ubiquitously digital world sees us in a situation where much of everyday life has been captured by big business. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Retro_Workshop,_Part_3⠀⇛ Back in the summer, I laid out my then tentative plan for teaching some sort of retro computing workshop to a group of 200 level Media Studies students, loosely based on an even more retro workshop I myself had attended a short time previously, an introduction to printing with movable type[1]. I gave the workshop to a (smallish) group of students earlier this month, and here is a brief description of how it went down. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ A_Constellation_of_Ideas⠀⇛ I'm just musing on the irony that my recent tilt towards digital detoxification is what drove me to Gemini in the first place. As someone who grew up around the birth of the World Wide Web, So what follows is some insight into my half- baked philosophical thoughts and ideas, as things currently stand. Most of these are incomplete, and I would struggle to articulate fully these thoughts and ideas without a great deal more time and space to arrange them; it takes time to translate the language of the mind into a coherent written narrative, to make sense of the firings - and mis-firings! - of electrical connections in the brain. What occurs in the mind is often confused and nebulous, and there is more- often-than-not a period of time required for those ephemeral connections to crystallise into things that make sense, things that can be understood, and then comprehended. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

As [Stefan] over at CNC Kitchen recently figured out, adding an already saturated bag of desiccant into e.g. an airtight container with a freshly dried spool of filament can actually make the humidity in the container spike as the desiccant will start releasing moisture.

As there’s a conveniently located MG dealer I decided to try out an MG electric car and see if they are any good. I brought two friends along who are also interested in new technology. I went to the MG dealer without any preconceptions or much prior knowledge of the MG electric cars apart from having vaguely noticed that they were significantly cheaper than Teslas. I told the salesperson that I didn’t have a model in mind and I just wanted to see what MG offers, so they offered me a test driver of a “MG4 64 EXCITE”. The MG web site isn’t very good and doesn’t give an indication of what this model costs, my recollection is that it’s something like $40,000, the base model is advertised at $30,990. I’m not particularly interested in paying for extras above the base model and the only really desirable feature that the “Excite 64” offers over the “Excite 51” is the extra range (the numbers 51 and 64 represent the battery capacity in KWh). The base model has a claimed range of 350KM which is more than I drive in a typical week, generally there are only about 4 days a year when I need to drive more than 300KM in a day and on those rare days I can spend a bit of time at a charging station without much inconvenience. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Asia_layoff_tracker:_latest_on_Love,_Bonito,_One Championship⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Who’s_Mailing_the_Catholic_Tribune?_It’s_Not the_Church.⠀⇛ One by one, Catholic dioceses in key presidential swing states are putting out unusual statements: Newspapers whose titles include the word Catholic that are showing up in people’s mailboxes aren’t what they seem and aren’t connected to the church.

But most of the articles in the papers are inflammatory and overtly partisan, focusing on culture-war issues that resonate with conservative voters. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Trudeau_has_wrecked_Canada-India political_relations,_says_expelled_envoy⠀⇛ Mr Sanjay Kumar Verma, India's envoy to Canada, said Mr Trudeau had been relying on intelligence rather than evidence. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ DJI_sues_Pentagon_over_'Chinese_military company'_designation_—_seeking_to_protect_its_business_and reputation⠀⇛ The lawsuit shows DJI taking a proactive stance as it confronts increasing pressure from Congress to ban its drones from operating in the U.S. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Former_India_spy_charged_with_plotting_New_York assassination_of_Sikh_activist⠀⇛ The US District Court for the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment on Thursday against a former Indian intelligence officer who is accused of planning a failed assassination attempt against a Sikh-American activist in New York City known for his vocal criticism of the Indian government. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Musk’s_$1_Million_Offer_Raises_New_Legal Questions⠀⇛ Some election lawyers said the giveaway may run into laws that prohibit paying people to register to vote. # ⚓ BBC ☛ I’ll_stand_for_Russian_president_when_Putin's_gone, Navalny’s_widow_tells_BBC⠀⇛ Yulia Navalnaya intends to be president of Russia, she tells me.

This post will only be about the ballot propositions. I don't have anything useful to say about the candidates that isn't hyper-local.

That's according to research from BambooHR, which surveyed companies on the return to office (RTO) trend, finding that 18% of HR professionals and 25% of VP and c-suite executives hoped for some level of voluntary turnover because of a tougher RTO mandate. Indeed, 37% of managers, directors and executives believe that layoffs that followed RTO policies happened because fewer people quit than expected. And they're likely to get their wish, at least in part. More than one-quarter (28)% of employees said they would consider quitting if RTO policies were enacted at their workplace. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2723 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 22/10/2024: Ukraine Updates, China's Economic Difficulties⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Soft_Shelled_Musk_Turtle⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Wildlife/Nature o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Digital_Restrictions_(DRM) o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Copyrights # Gemini*_and_Gopher # Personal/Opinions # Politics_and_World_Events * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Bert Hubert ☛ A_bit_about_me⠀⇛ I prefer not to spend too much time talking about myself, but I also like to make it clear who I am and what I do, so people don’t have to guess (because they might guess wrong).

Much has been happening, but nowhere near as quickly as we had imagined or had hoped. But we are now almost there. The handover of assets is taking place. The new Board has been instrumental in this and, when the transfer is finally complete, I know that NCommander wishes to write his own Meta to you, the community. Details of who is in which seat will happen once the handover is complete because, until that point, the current site is the one that has existed since 2014, and it is still headed by NCommander. New hardware is being set up which will allow us to drastically reduce the running costs of the site. Two people, fliptop and kolie, have donated the use of servers and internet connections free of charge to SoylentNews. This is an extremely generous donation on their part and one for which the new Board is extremely grateful. Contracts, where requested, are being actioned as I write this Meta. There will still be annual costs for domains etc. The new hardware will have a new software structure installed on it, based on Docker containers. These will provide a significantly easier system to manage and, hopefully, will also take care automatically with many of the disruptive issues that we have seen in recent months. I do not claim that there will not be any initial hiccups but the site will still be running on Rehash and will look and behave exactly as it does today. There will be issues regarding updates to software for which new procedures will have to be produced and documented, but that is a task for the future and it need not delay the transfer. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Strange_English_Teaching_Computer_Might_Have_Been_Big In_Japan⠀⇛ [Ctrl-Alt-Rees] bought something strange on an auction site: a Japanese Cefucom-21 from 1983.

At $250, it stayed in the store. That was a lot of money back then, especially for most teenagers. But [Will] didn’t forget. After high school, he and a friend planned to build one from scratch. They worked out how they would do it and did a little prototyping, but never really finished. Well, they never really finished at the time. Because 33 years later, [Will] decided to finally put it together.

I'm part of an informal group of bikepackers based in my city, all folks interested in camping by bike. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding_—_DEKNOTY_Wordo:_CIDER⠀⇛ # § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Thank_You_Destiny_for_Exposing_MAGA⠀⇛ Before I talk about internet streamer Destiny's work, I just want to make clear that this entry does not constitute a return to writing. I’m still taking a step back from writing. I'm just making an exception here because American democracy is at stake and publishing this after the presidential election won't do much good. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

We continue to write even though it's an expense without any income. We blog because it's a part of us, because it's something we love to do. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Humans_Are_Evolving_Right_Before_Our_Eyes on_The_Tibetan_Plateau⠀⇛ Beall and her team made a study of 417 women between the ages of 46 and 86 years who have lived all their lives in Nepal above altitudes of around 3,500 meters (11,480 feet). The researchers recorded the number of live births, ranging between 0 and 14 per woman for an average of 5.2, as well as health and physical information and measurements. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ The_death_of_the_book,_again⠀⇛ Are these differences cultural and path-dependent, or do they reflect fundamentally different ways of undertaking and communicating research. I can see arguments for both views, but I’ll leave that up for discussion. Regardless, it seems likely that the shift away from books will continue. Fields where books have been the traditional way of communicating will either have to change, or to treat book reading as a research skill that can’t be assumed and needs to be taught/inculcated. # ⚓ Bert Hubert ☛ A_bit_about_me⠀⇛ The common thread through these disparate things is that most of them involve explaining stuff really well, in hopes that this either just plain makes people happy (or perhaps less afraid), or that this can engender change. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Antivaxxers_easily_see_through_RFK_Jr.’s_MAHA_con⠀⇛ [Orac note: Well, my talk is done, and it appears to have been well-received. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it’s not available on YouTube or elsewhere. Believe it or not, I think things are finally settling down to a new chaotic normal, to the point where I’m ready to get back to blogging. I’ll see what I can do this week. In the meantime, enjoy (I hope) this post about RFK Jr. and how easily antivaxxers see through his MAHA con.] # ⚓ Harvard University ☛ Broad_Institute_of_MIT_and_Harvard Lays_Off_87_Workers_in_Restructuring_Effort⠀⇛ The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard announced on Oct. 10 that it laid off 87 employees as part of a strategic restructuring. Of the impacted employees, 75 were part of the Data Sciences Platform and IT departments. The other 12 employees who were laid off occupy administrative positions at the Broad Institute. Broad Institute Director Todd R. Golub wrote in an email to staff members that “the rapid pace of technological and scientific change requires us to retool to stay ahead of the field.” # ⚓ Science News ☛ Megafire_smoke_may_dampen_California’s_nut harvests⠀⇛ When thick wildfire smoke blanketed California’s Central Valley in the late summer of 2020 and 2021, it blocked access to crucial sunlight. The disruption limited how much energy orchard trees stored over the winter, researchers report October 2 in Nature Plants. In the year following a megafire, some almond orchards saw up to a 60 percent decrease in nut harvests. This alerted scientists to an understudied effect of wildfire smoke in the state that produces 80 percent of the world’s almonds. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ The_Whirlpool_of_the_Artificial⠀⇛ There are many processes now subsumed under the term “Artificial Intelligence.” The reason we’re talking about it now, though, is that the websites are doing things we never thought websites could do. The pixels of our devices light up like never before. Techno-optimists believe that we’re nowhere close to the limit, that websites will continue to dazzle us — and I hope that this reframing helps put AI in perspective. Because the first step in the “Artificial Intelligence” process is most important: the creation of an artificial world in which this non- human intelligence can operate. # ⚓ NL Times ☛ Bilthoven_hospital_first_in_the_Netherlands_to use_AI_to_assess_mammograms⠀⇛ The Alexander Monro Hospital (AMZ) in Bilthoven is the first in the Netherlands to use artificial intelligence (AI) when assessing mammograms. Various studies in recent years have shown that AI can detect breast cancer earlier than radiologists can, De Telegraaf reports. # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ Silent_Crime:_scams_that_target_kids_playing video_games⠀⇛ They may try to get players to buy fake versions of in-game currency and leave them out of pocket.

The Federal Trade Commission issued the rule in August banning the sale or purchase of online reviews. The rule, which went into effect Monday, allows the agency to seek civil penalties against those who knowingly violate it. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ U.S._Border_Surveillance_Towers_Have_Always Been_Broken⠀⇛ Except, this isn't a bombshell. What should actually be shocking is that Congressional leaders are acting shocked, like those who recently sent a letter about the towers to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. These revelations simply reiterate what people who have been watching border technology have known for decades: Surveillance at the U.S.- Mexico border is a wasteful endeavor that is ill-equipped to respond to an ill-defined problem. Yet, after years of bipartisan recognition that these programs were straight-up boondoggles, there seems to be a competition among political leaders to throw the most money at programs that continue to fail. Official oversight reports about the failures, repeated breakages, and general ineffectiveness of these camera towers have been public since at least the mid-2000s. So why haven't border security agencies confronted the problem in the last 25 years? One reason is that these cameras are largely political theater; the technology dazzles publicly, then fizzles quietly. Meanwhile, communities that should be thriving at the border are treated like a laboratory for tech companies looking to cash in on often exaggerated—if not fabricated—homeland security threats. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Lawsuit_Argues_Warrantless_Use_of_Flock Surveillance_Cameras_Is_Unconstitutional⠀⇛ A civil liberties organization has filed a federal lawsuit in Virginia arguing that widespread surveillance enabled by Flock, a company that sells networks of automated license plate readers, is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment. # ⚓ uni Columbia ☛ Regardless_of_Frontiers:_The_First Amendment_and_the_Exchange_of_Ideas_Across_Borders_| Knight_First_Amendment_Institute⠀⇛ Today, the U.S. government uses its authority over the border to justify the surveillance of social media, the interrogation of travelers about their political and religious views, the warrantless search of travelers’ laptops and cellphones, the imposition of limits on Americans’ right to engage with foreign speakers and to access foreign communications platforms, and the suspension of the constitutional rules that would ordinarily apply to the surveillance of Americans’ emails and telephone calls. Panelists will consider these practices and their implications from a range of perspectives, including theoretical, doctrinal, historical, and empirical. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Barreling_Toward_War_With_Iran_Is_More Concerning_Than_A_National_Security_Leak⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Nuclear_Tomb_Must_Survive⠀⇛ It is hard to imagine that much we built today will be used ten years from now, much less in a hundred. It is hard to make things that last through the ages, which is why we are fascinated with things like ancient pyramids in Mexico, Egypt, and China. However, even the oldest Egyptian pyramid is only about 5,000 years old. [Mark Piesing] at the BBC visited a site that is supposed to lock up nuclear waste for 100,000 years. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ US_Company_Accidentally Hires_North_Korean_For_Remote_Work,_Gets_Blackmailed_When They_Try_To_Fire_Him⠀⇛ A major security breach occurred when a US company unknowingly hired a North Korean IT worker who, after being fired, stole sensitive data and demanded a ransom. The FBI has warned that thousands of North Korean hackers disguise themselves as legitimate remote workers in the US to siphon money back to their government. # ⚓ Baldur Bjarnason ☛ Non-violence_as_a_societal_value⠀⇛ So, for those from countries where, paradoxically, routinely arming police makes people feel safe, a short history of Iceland’s path from being one of the more brutal and violent nations in Europe to being a largely pacifist one. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Trump's_plan_to_replace_federal_workers_with loyalists⠀⇛ The plan is spelled out in Project 2025 (which Trump says he has “nothing to do with,” despite his ties to many of the project’s authors) and a bill in the House of Representatives, the Public Service Reform Act. It would allow the president or his appointees to fire any federal worker “for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all.” Employees would have no right to appeal, even if fired because they refused to break a law or execute an unethical order. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Jim_Messina_says_Donald_Trump_will_try_to_steal election_after_Nov._5⠀⇛ Messina argued Trump has shown what he will do after the election by filing various lawsuits in battleground states that target early voting and voter rolls. “That is a precursor to what they are going to do after the election. They are going to try to set up a way to steal this election to get some of these crazy cases to their favorite United States Supreme Court,” Messina said. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ Australia's_defence_is_lost_in_a_fog_of strategic_failure_and_a_lack_of_imagination⠀⇛ There are two sets of external changes shaping Australia’s defence problem. First, new groupings of states are emerging—with some firepower to boot—that prioritise different values to us. On values we share—say, the continued survival of the state—they are often interpreted differently. Australia might look to the multilateral rules- based order to shore up support for our right to exist. Another state might view this order as a legacy system that is not willing to facilitate the transfer of power to rising states. Problems ensue. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ World_War_I_was_the_crucible_of_air_power. Ukraine_looks_the_same_for_drones⠀⇛ But we seem to be seeing a new kind of air battle—lower, slower at close quarters and in a physical environment where fighter aircraft cannot intervene affordably or effectively. Could it be that Ukraine is to small unmanned systems what World War I was to aircraft? # ⚓ NBC ☛ Pennsylvania_Gov._Shapiro:_Law_enforcement_should 'take_a_look_at'_Elon_Musk_voter_payments⠀⇛ Questions about the legality of these cash payments abounded on Saturday night, as election law experts pointed to various provisions in federal law that prohibited making cash payments to voters. Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project and an NBC News election law analyst, called the payments “clearly illegal” in a post on his website Saturday night. He pointed to a federal law, 52 U.S.C. 10307(c), which says that any individual who “pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.” # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Elon_Musk_May_Be_in_Serious_Trouble_for_Paying Voters_in_Swing_States⠀⇛ But as it turns out, there's a reason you never hear about wealthy activists paying voters directly for support: legal experts have been quick to call the lawfulness of the billionaire Trump acolyte's seven-figure handouts into question, with objections centering on one important stipulation of Musk's offer: that in order to receive a check, you have to be registered to vote in the state of Pennsylvania. This means that Musk's offer is incentivizing folks who aren't registered to make sure they get registered. And that, argues University of California, Los Angeles Law School political science professor Rick Hasen, crosses a legal red line. # ⚓ Associated Press ☛ Musk_offers_voters_$1_million_a_day_to sign_PAC_petition_backing_the_Constitution._Is_that_legal?⠀⇛ Michael Kang, an election law professor at Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law, said the context of the giveaway so close to Election Day makes it harder to make the case that the effort is anything but a incentivizing people to register to vote. “It’s not quite the same as paying someone to vote, but you’re getting close enough that we worry about its legality,” Kang said. # ⚓ Vox ☛ Elon_Musk’s_$1_million-a-day_giveaway,_explained_| Vox⠀⇛ But even if the DOJ decides to go after Musk for this — and there is no guarantee that it will — the issue likely won’t be resolved before November 5, in part to avoid any perception on the part of the federal government that the DOJ is meddling in the election. # ⚓ New Republic ☛ Republicans_Are_Cheating._Again._But_Now It’s_Worse_Than_Ever.⠀⇛ This has been true in most elections in recent American history, as I’ll detail below. But let’s start with a few examples from this election. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Gov._Shapiro_calls_Musk's_$1M_offer_to_Pennsylvania voters_'deeply_concerning'⠀⇛ "If you look at the conditions, you must be a registered voter," Hasen said. "And so this is essentially a lottery that's open only to people who register to vote. So it’s either an incentive for someone to vote or it’s a reward. And either way, it violates federal law." He calls Musk's actions "clearly illegal" because it violates statute 52 U.S.C. 10307(c) and the Department of Justice’s election manual. # ⚓ Michigan Advance ☛ Does_Elon_Musk’s_$1_million_sweepstakes run_afoul_of_the_federal_prohibition_on_paying_voters?⠀⇛ “It is illegal to give out money on the condition that recipients register as voters,” said Adav Noti, executive director of the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center. “As the terms of this ‘contest’ to win $1 million require the recipient to be a registered voter in one of seven swing states (or to register if they have not already), the offer violates federal law and is subject to civil or criminal enforcement by the Department of Justice.” Paul Schiff Berman, a law professor at The George Washington University, said Musk’s offer is likely illegal under the Voting Rights Enforcement section of Title 52 of the U.S. Code. The law says, “Whoever … pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years.” # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ What_Is_Elon_Musk's Petition,_Why_Is_He_Giving_$1_Million_Dollars_Away_And_Is This_Legal:_Everything_You_Should_Know⠀⇛ So far, no formal legal action has been taken against Musk or his PAC. However, election law experts have noted that the giveaway could face scrutiny from state and federal officials as the election draws closer. Michael Kang, an election law professor at Northwestern University, pointed out that while the petition does not directly violate campaign finance laws, the proximity to the election and the fact that only registered voters can participate create legal risks. "It's not quite the same as paying someone to vote, but you're getting close enough that we worry about its legality," Kang told HuffPost. # ⚓ USMC ☛ One_of_last_Marine_Corps_World_War_II_Navajo_Code Talkers_dies_at_107⠀⇛ With Kinsel’s death, only two Navajo Code Talkers are still alive: Former Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald and Thomas H. Begay. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ One_of_the_last_Navajo_Code_Talkers_from_World War_II_dies_at_107⠀⇛ They confounded Japanese military cryptologists during World War II and participated in all assaults the Marines led in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945, including at Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu and Iwo Jima. The Code Talkers sent thousands of messages without error on Japanese troop movements, battlefield tactics and other communications crucial to the war's ultimate outcome. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ US_writer_Anne_Applebaum_calls_for_arms_for Ukraine,_accepts_German_peace_prize ⠀⇛ “If there is even a small chance that military defeat could help end this horrific cult of violence in Russia, just as military defeat once brought an end to the cult of violence in Germany, we should take it,” Applebaum said. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Leaked_emails_show_how_prison_officials deliberately_made_Navalny’s_life_unbearable_—_and_then tried_to_cover_their_tracks_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Yulia_Navalnaya_says_she’s_prepared_to_run for_presidency_if_she’s_able_to_return_to_Russia_in future_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Meduza_is_10!_Meet_the_people_who_bring_you the_latest_on_Russia,_every_single_day._How_did_they end_up_at_Meduza_in_English?_And_what_makes_their_work so_interesting?_—_Meduza⠀⇛ o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ Six_Lessons_From_the_World’s_Deadliest Environmental_Disaster⠀⇛ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Stripe_acquires_stablecoin infrastructure_startup_Bridge⠀⇛ The companies didn’t disclose the deal’s financial terms. However, a source told Forbes that Stripe is paying $1.1 billion for Bridge. That’s more than five times the valuation startup reportedly received following a funding round earlier this year. # ⚓ Renewable Energy World ☛ Idaho_is_coming_around_on clean_tech,_approves_first-ever_solar_farm_on_state land⠀⇛ For the first time, the Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners has voted to approve a lease for a solar farm on state-owned property. At last Tuesday’s meeting in Boise, the board voted 3-1 in favor of leasing more than 11,000 acres of state endowment land to a PacifiCorp wind and solar project in southeast Idaho, near Idaho Falls in Bingham County. Dubbed Arco Wind and Solar, the clean energy farm will be mostly constructed on private land, particularly the wind portion. The entire project spans more than 32,000 acres in Bingham and Fremont counties. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Maine Morning Star ☛ The_futures_of_right_whales_and lobstermen_are_entangled._Could_high-tech_gear_help save_them_both?⠀⇛ That meant his team had to rig up a tool that could slice the rope at a distance—essentially a crossbow with an arrow like a throwing star. Eventually, Wart came up for air close enough to Landry’s dinghy for him to get a single clean shot. He took a breath and fired. The whale immediately dove underwater again, leaving the team in suspense. A few minutes later, she popped back up, revealing the knife had cut right through the chunky rope. “You really have to want it. After dealing with this case for three years, we really wanted it,” Landry said, recalling the raucous cheers on the boat that day in 2010. Landry has been helping disentangle ocean animals from fishing gear and debris for more than two decades, but celebrations never last long in this job. Wart’s case is a rare bright spot in the pervasive problem of rope entanglements, one of the leading causes of death for whales. # ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ A_New_Marine_Sanctuary_Off California_Will_Be_Co-Managed_by_Indigenous_Peoples⠀⇛ The 4,500-square-mile-sanctuary protects at- risk species such as shorebirds, whales, dolphins, sea turtles and sea otters. Its official designation from the Biden-Harris administration this month came after more than a decade-long push from the Northern Chumash Tribal Council and conservation groups for a protected area. Now, the sanctuary is undergoing a legally required 45-day review period, but it’s expected to be finalized by December 15. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ TikTok_Lays_Off_Hundreds_Amid_Shift_to_AI-Driven_Content Moderation [Ed: Nothing to do with "AI", just computerised or based on text analysis]⠀⇛ The layoffs are part of a broader plan by TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, to enhance its moderation operations. The company uses a combination of human moderators and automated systems to detect and remove content that violates its guidelines. A TikTok spokesperson stated that the layoffs aim to strengthen the platform’s global moderation model. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ AI_and_the_SEC_Whistleblower_Program_- Schneier_on_Security⠀⇛ Unfortunately, the program has resulted in a new industry of private de facto regulatory enforcers. Legal scholar Alexander Platt has shown how the SEC’s whistleblower program has effectively privatized a huge portion of financial regulatory enforcement. There is a role for publicly sourced information in securities regulatory enforcement, just as there has been in litigation for antitrust and other areas of the law. But the SEC program, and a similar one at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, has created a market distortion replete with perverse incentives. Like the tax farmers of history, the interests of the whistleblowers don’t match those of the government. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Retiring_the_US_debt_would retire_the_US_dollar⠀⇛ The Secret IRS Files revealed the fact that many of America's oligarchs pay no tax at all. Some of them even get subsidies intended for poor families, like Jeff Bezos, whose tax affairs are so scammy that he was able to claim to be among the working poor and receive a federal Child Tax Credit, a $4,000 gift from the American public to one of the richest men who ever lived: [...] # ⚓ Alex Gaynor ☛ Risky_Business_·_Alex_Gaynor⠀⇛ Risk management is about an investment of resources now, to reduce the possibility of outcomes that are substantially worse later. And so we can integrate over time and say what the costs and benefits of some risk management approach will be (with varying degrees of precision). However, this also means that on a short time scale, almost any risk management investment has a poor return-on- investment. Which means that a business may believe it has an incentive to ignore a risk, and behave in a way that’s irresponsible on even a modestly longer time horizon. # ⚓ [Old] Pro Publica ☛ The_Secret_IRS_Files:_Trove_of_Never- Before-Seen_Records_Reveal_How_the_Wealthiest_Avoid_Income Tax⠀⇛ ProPublica has obtained a vast trove of Internal Revenue Service data on the tax returns of thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people, covering more than 15 years. The data provides an unprecedented look inside the financial lives of America’s titans, including Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch and Mark Zuckerberg. It shows not just their income and taxes, but also their investments, stock trades, gambling winnings and even the results of audits. Taken together, it demolishes the cornerstone myth of the American tax system: that everyone pays their fair share and the richest Americans pay the most. The IRS records show that the wealthiest can — perfectly legally — pay income taxes that are only a tiny fraction of the hundreds of millions, if not billions, their fortunes grow each year. [...] The results are stark. According to Forbes, those 25 people saw their worth rise a collective $401 billion from 2014 to 2018. They paid a total of $13.6 billion in federal income taxes in those five years, the IRS data shows. That’s a staggering sum, but it amounts to a true tax rate of only 3.4%. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Bill_to_modernize_federal_cloud procurement_gets_backing_of_leading_trade_group⠀⇛ In a letter sent Monday to Sens. Gary Peters, D- Mich., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Reps. James Comer, R-Ky., and Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the Alliance for Digital Innovation threw its support behind the Federal Improvement in Technology Procurement Act (H.R. 9595), touting legislation that it said would remove “outdated barriers that prevent agencies from accessing the latest commercial cloud-based technologies from companies of all sizes.” The FIT Procurement Act, introduced last month by Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., would help agencies better “meet the increasing demands of a digital- first world,” the letter stated. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Nigerian_Government_and_Ericsson_sign_MoU_on_5G deployment⠀⇛ The Nigerian Government has agreed to partner with Ericsson as a move toward deploying 5G connectivity in Nigeria. # ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Department_of_the_Interior_scrambling after_foreign-made_drone_ban⠀⇛ With that, the agency simply stopped using drones for most operations aside from emergency operations, such as search and rescue, or firefighting. And in short, the policy — which came about as part of an ongoing effort to protect critical data from foreign surveillance risks — had largely negative effects. That includes rising costs, shrinking drone fleets and delays in essential land management activities such as wildfire monitoring, wildlife conservation and public safety. Here’s a deep dive into what happened once the Department of the Interior changed its drone policy to ban procurement of new DJI drones, as well as to stop their use for non-emergency purposes. And with that, here are some vital clues as to what might happen, should the government step up bans on Chinese-made drones going forward (which could very well happen). # ⚓ Lou Plummer ☛ Civic_Duties⠀⇛ I will be glad when the election is settled. I expect there to be all kinds of controversy and dirty tricks from the other side. Another insurrection is certainly a possibility. They are losers but they don't lose gracefully. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Army_aims_for_speed_in_new_$10B software_contract⠀⇛ The Army wants to create a huge new ID/IQ contract to modernize the way it buys and builds software — and it’s not wasting any time. Just a few months after the idea was first announced, the service has already issued a request for information and two draft requests for proposals. It’s going to be a tight turnaround for potential bidders to submit their comments on the Army’s latest draft, issued on Oct. 11; the deadline is this Friday. After that, officials are planning one more draft RFP, and then an industry day on November 7 before the final version of the solicitation that vendors will bid on. That timeline is basically unheard of in the world of large federal ID/IQ contracts, which typically take the government years to plan and award. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Congressman_rails_at_Hong_Kong_efforts_to_block US-based_content⠀⇛ Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, the top Democrat on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), wrote to web services company Automattic on Monday to ensure the webpage belonging to Flow HK, an online media outlet founded by Hong Kong pro-democracy activists who are in exile, remains operational despite pressure from the Hong Kong police. At the beginning of October, VOA revealed Flow HK to be the first overseas Hong Kong media website to be officially blocked within Hong Kong, but recent requests to remove the website internationally brought the original censorship inside China to a deeper level. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ U.S._Rule_Targets_Foreign_Threats Exploiting_Sensitive_Data⠀⇛ Disinformation is fueled by sensitive data, and the United States has learned some hard lessons in the build-up to this year’s presidential elections, where its adversaries have run rampant disinformation campaigns. So what is it doing about it? The U.S. is introducing a new rule that targets foreign threats exploiting sensitive data of its citizens. The U.S. Department of Justice on Monday, in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), proposed a significant initiative to protect Americans’ sensitive data from foreign adversaries. The rule, derived from President Biden’s Executive Order 14117, aims to curb the exploitation of U.S. data by countries identified as threats. The new proposal doesn’t impose sweeping changes immediately but instead seeks public feedback for refining the rule before it takes effect. # ⚓ Marcy Wheeler ☛ Donald_J._Trump,_Cosplayer⠀⇛ Trump is dressing up as a character. He is not actually working in fast food. A shut- down McDonald’s and a Fox News TV crew isn’t real but a stage and a production team for campaign propaganda. This is not the first time we’ve seen Trump cosplaying, either. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Election_disinformation_is_getting more_chaotic⠀⇛ Earlier this month, as hurricanes ravaged parts of the Southeast, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Marjorie Taylor Greene were among those amplifying dangerous disinformation about the storms and recovery efforts. The ensuing social-media chaos, as my colleague Elaine Godfrey has written, was just a preview of what we may see on and after Election Day. I spoke with Elaine, who covers politics, about what makes this moment so ripe for conspiracy theories, the ways online campaigns shape the real world, and how this all could still escalate soon. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ Moldova_barely_votes_to_stay with_E.U._amid_calls_of_Russian_meddling⠀⇛ In a tweet early Monday, Sandu said that “criminal groups, working with foreign forces,” had attempted to influence Moldovan elections using “tens of millions of euros, lies, and propaganda.” “We have clear evidence that these criminal groups aimed to buy 300,000 votes — a fraud of unprecedented scale,” she added. “Their objective was to undermine a democratic process. Their intention is to spread fear and panic in the society.” # ⚓ Harvard University ☛ Misinformed_about misinformation:_On_the_polarizing_discourse_on misinformation_and_its_consequences_for_the_field⠀⇛ The field of misinformation is facing several challenges, from attacks on academic freedom to polarizing discourse about the nature and extent of the problem for elections and digital well-being. However, we see this as an inflection point and an opportunity to chart a more informed and contextual research practice. To foster credible research and informed public policy, we argue that research on misinformation should be locally focused, self-reflexive, and interdisciplinary, addressing critical questions about what counts as misinformation and why it does, the vulnerabilities of specific communities, and the sociotechnical and sociopolitical conditions that shape information interpretation. By concentrating on when and how misinformation affects society, instead of whether, the field can provide more precise insights and contribute to productive discussions. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ China's_Spamouflage_trolls_US_Sen. Marco_Rubio⠀⇛ This is according to Clemson University researchers Darren Linvill and Patrick Warren, who note that this isn't the first time that the Beijing-linked trolls have set their sights on Rubio. And if the 2022 election is any indication, we can expect a flood of content about the "unhinged" senator from Florida on November 5. Spamouflage, also tracked as "Dragonbridge," is the prolific, pro-People's Republic of China propaganda group that has been spreading fake news about American politics and politicians during the last two election cycles. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ 'Garbage_in,_garbage_out':_AI_fails_to debunk_disinformation,_study_finds⠀⇛ When it comes to combating disinformation ahead of the U.S. presidential elections, artificial intelligence and chatbots are failing, a media research group has found. The latest audit by the research group NewsGuard found that generative AI tools struggle to effectively respond to false narratives. In its latest audit of 10 leading chatbots, compiled in September, NewsGuard found that AI will repeat misinformation 18% of the time and offer a nonresponse 38.33% of the time — leading to a “fail rate” of almost 40%, according to NewsGuard. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Twitch_Quietly_Blocked_New_Users_From_Israel and_Palestine_Since_October_7⠀⇛ Twitch quietly blocked new users from creating new accounts on the live video streaming service since October 7, 2023 to prevent them from uploading “graphic material,” the company revealed late last night. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Intuit_Begs_Journalists_to_Delete_Part_of Interview_With_Its_CEO⠀⇛ Intuit, the financial tech giant behind TurboTax and Quickbooks, inexplicably demanded that The Verge completely delete a portion of editor-in- chief Nilay Patel's interview with its CEO, Sasan Goodarzi, because of — we are not kidding — "raised voices." According to Patel, Intuit was specifically mad about a section of the interview in which Patel asks Goodrazi about TurboTax's known history of pouring millions of dollars into intense lobbying efforts. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Eighteen_months_in_prison_with_no_word_from_ailing Belarusian_opposition_figure⠀⇛ Kalesnikava was an opposition activist who in 2020 became a prominent leader of protests demanding the resignation of strongman Alexander Lukashenko following a disputed presidential election. She was sentenced to 11 years in prison in September 2021. There has been no information on Kalesnikava for well over a year. Sources earlier this year told RFE/RL that she was placed in solitary confinement more than a year ago a violation of Belarusian law, which says the maximum period in solitary confinement is six months. # ⚓ SFGate ☛ SFO_passenger_deplaned_from_Delta_flight_due_to_T- shirt⠀⇛ “I said, ‘Are you kidding me? I’m a Marine Corps vet. I’m going to see my Marine sister. I’ve been in the Marine Corps for 22 years and worked for the Air Force for 15 years. I’m going to visit her,’” Banks said. “He said, ‘I don’t care about your service, and I don’t care about her service. The only way you’re going to get back on the plane is if you take it off right now.’” Banks also said that when she got back on the plane, she was forced to sit in the back instead of sitting in the seat she had paid for, which had extra legroom. Veteran suicides are at an all-time high, according to United Service Organizations. # ⚓ Reuters ☛ Musk’s_X_likely_to_lose_records_appeal_in_Media Matters_case,_court_says⠀⇛ In a ruling , opens new tab on Sunday, the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a Texas federal judge’s order compelling the disclosure of donor information will be paused while Media Matters appeals it. “We doubt that X Corp. needs the identity of Media Matters’s every donor, big or small, to advance its theories,” the panel said, ruling that the information “could enable others to harass or intimidate Media Matters or its donors.” # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ MC5:_The_incendiary_reign_of_America’s most_radical_rock_band⠀⇛ And so to Heavy Lifting. How do you recapture a band’s essence on record over half a century on from its previous album? “We cranked up the volume,” says Fagenson. “We’re older, we were sitting down, but the basic tracks had a certain reckless abandon to them.” This past weekend, MC5’s “musical excellence” was honoured by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the US. In an industry dripping with affected charisma, Hudson says Kramer never even had to try. He recalls Kramer and Iggy Pop coming to the studio when he was recording his debut solo album in 2010. These “two real f______ Detroit icons” just exuded natural coolness. “It just makes you think about all the people that try so hard to be that [and] how basically effortless it was for them,” he says. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] YLE ☛ Bäckman_receives_suspended_sentence_for stalking_Yle_reporter_|_Yle⠀⇛ Known for his close ties to Russia, Bäckman repeatedly sent private messages to Aro on Facebook suggesting they meet up. He also published articles via Twitter and Facebook that the court ruled had mocked and belittled Aro. Bäckman tagged Aro in most of his Twitter posts, so that she would see them. The court therefore found that Bäckman’s communication with and writings about Aro via messages and public posts constituted stalking under Finland's Penal Code. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Public_Records_Show_Cops_Are_Obscuring_Their_Use Of_Facial_Recognition_Tech_In_Criminal_Cases⠀⇛ The other option is the one detailed in this report by the Washington Post: don’t tell courts or defendants about the use of certain tech during criminal prosecutions. That’s the option a lot of cop shops are using, which means defendants are being deprived of their constitutional right to challenge the veracity of the evidence being used against them. The operative move for facial recognition tech — despite pretty much everyone being aware of its use and capabilities — appears to be “Don’t tell, or else someone will ask.” # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ Police_seldom_disclose_use_of_facial recognition_despite_false_arrests⠀⇛ In fact, the records show that officers often obscured their reliance on the software in public- facing reports, saying that they identified suspects “through investigative means” or that a human source such as a witness or police officer made the initial identification. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_IPv6_transition⠀⇛ The state of the transition to IPv6 within the public Internet continues to confound us. RFC 2460, the first complete specification of the IPv6 protocol, was published in December 1998, over 25 years ago. The entire point of IPv6 was to specify a successor protocol to IPv4 due to the prospect of depleting the IPv4 address pool. We depleted the pool of available IPv4 addresses more than a decade ago, yet the Internet is largely sustained through the use of IPv4. The transition to IPv6 has been underway for 25 years, and while the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses should have created a sense of urgency, we’ve been living with it for so long that we’ve become desensitized to the issue. It’s probably time to ask the question again: How much longer is this transition to IPv6 going to take? # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ Norway,_Germany_put_critical underwater_infrastructure_on_NATO_agenda⠀⇛ "Hybrid attacks against critical underwater infrastructure pose a considerable threat to our economy, our communications, our energy supply," German Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius underlines in a meeting with Norway's Bjørn Arild Gram. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Trademarks⠀➾ # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Nicolas_Cage_Warns_Young_Actors_About_AI⠀⇛ Speaking at the 25th Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday, the "Longlegs" star warned up-and-comers not to let their performances be manipulated with AI to create "employment based digital replicas" (EBDRs) — and no, not even in the limited terms described by new protections against the tech. # ⚓ Deadline ☛ Nicolas_Cage_Urges_Young_Actors_To_Protect Themselves_From_AI⠀⇛ Nicolas Cage took to the stage at the 25th Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday to urge up-and-coming actors from giving into pressure from employers opting to use artificial intelligence to change or otherwise manipulate their performance. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ MPA's_Piracy_Claims_are_'False'_and 'Misleading',_Streaming_Platform_Says⠀⇛ Polish streaming service CDA has once again been accused of being a notorious piracy market by the Motion Picture Association (MPA). CDA sent a rebuttal to the US government, dismissing the claims as false and misleading. In addition, the company points out that the MPA was provided with a direct takedown tool but has never used it. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ 'Blade_Runner_2049'_producer_sues_Musk, Tesla,_Warner_Bros.⠀⇛ The complaint accuses the Hollywood studio, Tesla and Musk of using artificial intelligence to generate an image resembling scenes from “Blade Runner 2049,” which Musk presented during a launch event for Tesla’s Cybercab on the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank. The livestreamed event took place Oct. 10 — shortly after Alcon said it denied a request from Warner Bros. Discovery to use a production photo from the sci-fi film to promote Tesla’s new product. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Perplexity_Faces_Copyright_Suit_from NY_Post,_Wall_Street_Journal⠀⇛ Predictably, in light of the fresh complaint, the filing parties, having previously finalized a licensing pact with ChatGPT developer OpenAI via their parent, say they never received a response from Perplexity. Shifting to the actual copyright claims, the complaint contrasts previously filed actions against generative AIs (including Amazon-backed Anthropic, OpenAI, and more) by accusing Perplexity of infringement at several stages. First, the platform, often used to summarize news, allegedly “copied hundreds of thousands” of copyrighted Journal and Post articles without permission for its retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) database. Taking aim at arguments made by other AI giants, the action rather directly claims the alleged practice isn’t transformative and doesn’t constitute fair use. In a nutshell, the RAG database, distinct from the much-discussed training process for large-language models, is said to house a continually updated (via web scraping) collection of information for use in AI-generated answers to user questions (including requests for breakdowns of articles, for example). # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Penguin_Random_House_Takes_Strong Stance_Against_AI⠀⇛ Penguin Random House has updated its wording on its copyright pages to better protect its authors’ intellectual property from AI uses. The language specifically addresses large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools. A report from The Bookseller details these changes across all of its imprints globally confirming these new guidelines will appear “in imprint pages across our markets.” The new wording from these documents states, “No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner for the purpose of training artificial intelligence technologies or systems.” ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 5198 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 7 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
