| schestowitz | These questions should be simple to answer, but we haven’t gotten simple answers. When we asked CBP for more information, they told us: “visit our website.” We did, and we still have many of the same questions. Representatives for airlines, which partner directly with the government agencies, also seem unable to answer the concerns, as the JetBlue spokesperson made evident. Both agencies and airlines seemed to expect no pushback from | Apr 29 18:37 |
| schestowitz | passengers when they implemented this boarding-pass-replacing-panopticon. The convenience would win out, they seemed to assume, not expecting people to mind having their face scanned “the same way you unlock your phone.” But now that “your face is your boarding pass” (as JetBlue awkwardly puts it), at least in some airports, the invasive nature of the system is much more clear, and travelers are understandably upset.</p> | Apr 29 18:37 |

What we are really interested in, is “small data” with a very small probability (high information content). | Apr 30 05:24 |

| schestowitz | of course when there are military-related scandals theres no reason that people shouldnt know about them. im appalled by the “collateral murder” footage, as everybody should be. it is not how i think of the military as a whole. though war is very ugly, and some of the things that happen (rape for example) are just as appalling and wrong. its extremely important to remember that not all military servicepeople are rapists. | Apr 30 05:27 |

| schestowitz | There are many reasons for that and surpassing the Gulf of Hormuz is one important aspect. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | https://www.mintpressnews.com/saudi-arabia-begins-construction-of-petrol-pipeline-through-yemen/249936/ | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | But please consider that the Saudi are only a proxy of the USA. For the USA the survival of the Petrodollar-System has highest priority. This system works as long as the Arabs sell their petrol and gas in Dollars. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.mintpressnews.com | Saudi Arabia Begins Construction of Petrol Pipeline Through Yemen | Apr 30 05:46 | |
| schestowitz | But the most important reason is WATER! | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | In this region water is always much more important than oil or gas. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | Water comes by precipitation from the big oceans and this has to be carried by the winds from the south, the west and north of Saudi Arabia. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | When you look on the the map, you will easily sea that Saudi Arabia is far away from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean and the next ocean is the Indian Ocean, but Yemen and Oman are at the coast. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | Since many decades, particularly since 1991, after the fall of Soviet Union, Saudis get more and more water by wind-water streams. The American “experts” name them “atmospheric rivers”. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | These atmospheric rivers are “enhanced”. That means the winds are highly saturated by controlled “injection” of fine dust particles to bind more water in higher altitudes by triggering the formation of aerosols. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | The results are remarkable! | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | Saudi water pipelines (thousands of kilometers) & dams (at least 230) & #CO2 #gasification! | Apr 30 05:46 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-geoarchitektur.blogspot.com | Geoarchitektur, Geoengineering: Saudi water pipelines (thousands of kilometers) & dams (at least 230) & CO2 gasification! | Apr 30 05:46 | |
| schestowitz | With this water more oil and gas is produced by measures of (Nuclear) Hdraulic Fracking. Not only in Saudi Arabia, but also in UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | This prevents the feared Peak Oil on the Arabian Peninsula and secures the Petrodollar-System. | Apr 30 05:46 |
| schestowitz | Nobody will tell you anything about the nuclear component of fracking or the large scale water management, but these things are no real secrets. When you scratch across the thin surface, you will see and understand everything. | Apr 30 05:46 |

| schestowitz | All the present discussion and the referral G 2/19 would not have had to happen if the Administrative Council would have done its job, i.e. to control the President and not the other way round. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | The forced exile to Haar was a revenge from the Napoleon of the 10th floor after the EBA did not want to simply rubber stamp the decision by which he trampled on the separation of powers. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | It is nice to say that the EPO should “treat the funds it receives with respect and ensure that they are wisely spent”. However, the silence of the profession was deafening when the decision was taken to send the Boards to Haar in order to “increase the perception of the independence of the Boards”. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | With a few exceptions, I saw hardly any protest from individual members of the profession, and certainly none from its representative instances when such a ludicrous decision was taken. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | It seems very cheap now to compare the possibility of the Boards to come back to Munich with the “travelling circus” of the European Parliament between Brussels and Strasbourg. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | At least the travelling circus finds its basis in an international treaty, whereas the transfer of the Boards was just a decision taken by somebody wanting to show that he is above the law, and in control of everything. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | In view of the referral G 2/19, any further extension of the lease should not be approved until the EBA has decided on the matter. When all files relating to plants are stayed until the decision G 3/19 is issued, this should also be the case here. That would really be an attempt to treat the funds the EPO receives with respect and ensure that they are wisely spent. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | Any decision relating to the lease of the Haar building taken before the decision in G 2/19 would show implicitly to the EBA the it can decide whatever it wants, the fait accompli will ignore it. | May 01 05:26 |
| schestowitz | If there is a scandal, it is to be seen here, and not in a possible spending of money for the Boards returning to Munich. | May 01 05:26 |

| schestowitz | There was an interesting argument during the hearing about the relevent law which should apply for substantive matters (eg interpretation of the document under the "Haviltex" principle, and the rules of evidence. Thus, both parties accepted that Dutch law should govern the interpretation of the assignment agreement. There was a dispute about how "Haviltex" should apply, but both parties took the view that Dutch law was determinative on | May 03 16:12 |
| schestowitz | whether/how Haviltex should apply, and filed evidence from Dutch attorneys. HOWEVER, the Opponent also argued that EVEN IF under Dutch law the intention of the parties was determinative, such intention needs to be properly evidenced, and the EPO rules for adducing and evaluation evidence should apply. Thus, when a tribunal applies foreign law, it nevertheless always uses its own rules of evidence to determine the facts so that it can apply | May 03 16:12 |
| schestowitz | the law. The EPO rules of evidence say that when all relevant information is under the control of one party (as was the case here) that party must prove its case "up to the hilt".

One of the articles talking about the logo change complained about the mixed weight fonts being to 90s, then complemented them on growing up with a more modern typeface.

Humanity can not afford nuclear war, but Gates and others like him have weaponized social control media to promote divisiveness of all sorts including racism and nationalism that will result in war.
