Appeals court decision potentially reversing publishers' suit may come this fall.
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17029482
> In an open letter to publishers, more than 30,000 readers, researchers, and authors begged for access to the books to be restored in the open library, claiming the takedowns dealt "a serious blow to lower-income families, people with disabilities, rural communities, and LGBTQ+ people, among many others," who may not have access to a local library or feel "safe accessing the information they need in public." > > During a press briefing following arguments in court Friday, IA founder Brewster Kahle said that "those voices weren't being heard." Judges appeared primarily focused on understanding how IA's digital lending potentially hurts publishers' profits in the ebook licensing market, rather than on how publishers' costly ebook licensing potentially harms readers.

Fifty left homeless in remote hamlet of mainly shepherds, as beatings and demolitions in occupied territory increase
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/24017353
> Israeli soldiers have destroyed 11 homes and other structures in an isolated community in the occupied West Bank, leaving 50 people homeless, amid a reported uptick in house demolitions and spiralling violence in the Palestinian territory. > > Contractors with bulldozers accompanied by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops arrived in Umm al-Kheir, a village mostly home to shepherds, on Wednesday morning and demolished six houses, tent residences, an electricity generator, solar cells and water tanks, according to residents and Israeli activists who documented the proceedings. Agricultural land and fences were also damaged and trees uprooted. > > The demolition has destroyed about a third of the village’s infrastructure.

How Sweden's youth homes nurtured killers, creating Europe's gun crime capital
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/23771206
> The killer was only 14 and had lived in youth homes as a ward of the authorities since he was eight. > > A year ago, a gang helped the boy escape, put him up in a hotel and gave him cannabis, food and new clothes. Six days later, gang members told him it was time to repay them for their kindness. They had a job for him. > > Together with another youth, the boy, who as a juvenile cannot be identified, shot dead a 33-year-old Hells Angels biker. He was convicted by a court which described the case as a gangland contract killing. > > As he was too young to be sentenced, he was handed back to social services and sent to another youth home. > > Sweden has long prided itself on one of the world's most generous social safety nets, with a state that looks after vulnerable people at all stages of life. > > But these days it also has another distinction: by far the highest per capita rate of gun violence in the EU. Last year 55 people were shot dead in 363 separate shootings in a country of just 10 million people. By comparison, there were just six fatal shootings in the three other Nordic countries - Norway, Finland and Denmark - combined.
The decision could lead to the collapse of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition as Israel continues to wage war in Gaza.

> Israel’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled unanimously that the military must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men for compulsory service, a landmark decision that could lead to the collapse of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition as Israel continues to wage war in Gaza. > > The historic ruling effectively puts an end to a decades-old system that granted ultra-Orthodox men broad exemptions from military service while maintaining mandatory enlistment for the country’s secular Jewish majority. The arrangement, deemed discriminatory by critics, has created a deep chasm in Israel’s Jewish majority over who should shoulder the burden of protecting the country. > > The court struck down a law that codified exemptions in 2017, but repeated court extensions and government delaying tactics over a replacement dragged out a resolution for years. The court ruled that in the absence of a law, Israel’s compulsory military service applies to the ultra-Orthodox like any other citizen. > > Under longstanding arrangements, ultra-Orthodox men have been exempt from the draft, which is compulsory for most Jewish men and women.

> In the wake of Texas’ abortion ban, the state’s infant death rate increased and more died of birth defects, a study published Monday shows. > > The analysis out of Johns Hopkins University is the latest research to find higher infant mortality rates in states with abortion restrictions. > > The researchers looked at how many infants died before their first birthday after Texas adopted its abortion ban in September 2021. They compared infant deaths in Texas to those in 28 states — some also with restrictions. The researchers calculated that there were 216 more deaths in Texas than expected between March and December the next year. > > In Texas, the 2022 mortality rate for infants went up 8% to 5.75 per 1,000 births, compared to a 2% increase in the rest of the U.S., according to the study in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.

Blockchain based voting leaves a permanent and indelible record on the blockchain for all to see.
He will never resign. If he resigned all the privatisation contracts will be restructured and therefore all the billionaires investing in railways like Adani logistics will crank Modi's ass since all the railway stocks will crash.
Modi needs all yes men in the cabinet and billionaires need a Yes man as PM.
I love Dolly. My mom loves Dolly. Half of the population is her fan.
And She might be the only celebrity in Tennessee to support LGBTQ+
Just turn off the camera and manipulate all you like
Not just digital but trustless decentralised blockchain based so it's impossibly hard to manipulate
I am not in favour of EVMs here.
However there are pros and cons for both systems
I am just saying if you go for an electronic voting system using an airtight blockchain like Bitcoin and ethereum to verify votes using a biometric database is the only system trustworthy enough because.
If you use multiple blockchains like these it would require 10 trillion dollars or more to get the computing and staking power to hack the system.
It's inconceivably costlier than hacking a physical election.
Russia also has paper ballots and I can assure you we can easily kick out Putin with a blockchain based voting system.
That gives so much more opportunity for human intervention.
A good locksmith is all it takes to manipulate the votes.
Even if you keep it under tight security and surveillance they can bribe the security.
Blockchain technology based (BBVS) could be safer but regular EVMs are still hackable
Trustless systems are always better than centralised systems especially when the government in power is also in authority to decide whether they continue to stay in power.
US has been blessed till now.
But look at Russian or North Korean elections. They also use paper ballots
I am confident that Putin is not gonna last if they go for a blockchain based voting system.
Yeah many places are like that. Self-service should not have a tipping option. Because anyway the corporates have already stolen the jobs of servers there and then they want to be tipped for that.
The issue here is that although India's National food regulatory body called FSSAI have maintained that the pesticide is within safe level of 0.1 mg per grams
But Rajasthan state government tested them at their own labs and found 7mg per grams of ethylene oxide. 70 times more than what's safe for consumption.
Ethylene oxide is a gaseous pesticide which is also used as a fumigant to preserve the spices. After the fumigation the spices have to be aerated for long enough so all of the ethylene oxide evaporates away.
Now clearly someone at the processing facility is either cutting corners or being pushed by operation management to meet targets and not aerating the spices for a sufficient duration.
And both. Indian and American federal regulators like FSSAI, FDA and USDA are just shrugging it off.
However some state regulators have taken the matter seriously. Ethylene oxide is a grade 1 carcinogen.
Kind of how FAA shrugged it off when a few 737 MAX dropped from the sky like it was nothing.
The products included MDH's Madras Curry Powder, Sambhar Masala Mixed Masala Powder, and Curry Powder Mixed Masala Powder, and Everest's Fish Curry Masala.
Yeah but then most of his votebank is in UP, MP, Rajasthan. Shouldn't he be solidifying his rapport in those regions which keep him in power.
It will be great but they have to change the laws first
Well said 👍
Sure I will. Thankyou.
Obviously this is not about Gujarati people. They are just the same people as anywhere else in India.
I have specifically mentioned Gujarati billionaires. You know which guys I am talking about.
There are many recent incidents to think of which points in a similar direction.
In Varanasi the livelihood of small boaters is being taken away by large steamers owned by Gujarati billionaires.
In Ayodhya 4500 houses and shops of poor people were bulldozed to build five star hotels owned by Gujarati property tycoons.
In Ahmedabad the biggest semiconductor plant is being built predominantly funded by tax money and low interest loans from Public sector banks but owned by Adani. I mean they literally own the country at this point and if you are paying taxes you are working for them.
That's exactly what is happening in India.
Even this contemporary push for hindu nationalism is already making inequality worse than before.
Corruption, unemployment, inflation is getting worse which will further expand the gap between haves and have nots and people are being distracted with culture wars.
There is ample of evidence.
Gujarati businesses are taking over others and driving out local businesses with the help of the government.
A case study of this is the large steamers of Gujarati billionaires that are driving small boaters out of their livelihood in Varanasi
4500 Poor people's houses and shops bulldozed to build five star hotels owned by Gujarati property tycoons in Ayodhya
World's largest semiconductor plant being built in Ahmedabad completely bankrolled by taxpayers money but owned by Adani a Gujarati billionaire.
Go search yourself there is plenty of evidence.
