Proclamation 4867—National Port Week
https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/proclamation-4867-national-port-week

Did I miss the outrage for this unconstitutional 1906 "command" that «the people shall meet in their homes» etc.? Was it a tax, was it #precatory?

Justice Breyer was flippant today. Loved it.

Typo, of course: should be "than he can be wrong".

«But the belief in the possibility of a rule of law, of justice, and of freedom, can hardly survive the acceptance of an epistemology which teaches that there are no objective facts; not merely in this particular case, but in any other case; and that the judge cannot have made a factual mistake because he can no more be right about the facts than he can be right.»

Attempt to read a book to distract from #elections2020: epic fail.

#Elsevier / $RELX «said on Thursday annual revenue could fall as much as 210 million pounds short of costs in its exhibitions business, as it suffered from coronavirus-driven halts in major events this year.»

USA move to adopt China's economic system:

«The deal, which must still gain formal U.S. approval, would create a new U.S.-based company, #TikTok Global, in which #Oracle, an American software maker, and #Walmart would own 20 percent».

A joint vecture with local capital becomes a requirement for doing business in #USA, as in #China.

Let's see what's next in line for copying. Maybe a nice cultural revolution? #nt

Certe cose non cambiano mai... Un paese pietrificato.

Finally all that juicy personal data will be able to be matched to the rest of the #AdTech and #surveillance databases.

I'm also curious to see whether Washington will continue to decry as protectionism the #privacy requirements for data localisation in EU #GDPR, India etc. #nt

Qui a #Helsinki ho appena votato per il #ReferendumCostituzionale. Un pensiero in meno. Grazie all'ambasciata che ha usato buste ecolabel e alle poste finlandesi che mi hanno rintracciato al nuovo indirizzo!

Gotta love (gratis) #OpenAccess on #Wiley. Instead of a link to an actual PDF, we now get an Adobe-encumbered JavaScript mess which also happens to load a full-page #advertisement.

Sadly only some of the DoE laboratories are "federal enough" to have #PublicDomain output as US government works (#PDUSGov). How much of these 600 M$ will support #openaccess works? #OAintheUSA #nt

#Wikipedia (in English): possibly the only place where «applying a liberal dose of high explosives as appropriate» is a sentence I support wholeheartedly, with a smile.

«Householder and four others were accused of taking $60 million to pass the bill that provided taxpayer money to bail out the state's two nuclear power plants, which were owned by a unit of FirstEnergy. FirstEnergy had said that without some form of subsidy it would have to shut the reactors.»

I'm so surprised. #Nuclear concentrates power and therefore also opportunities for corruption. This one was just more obvious than the average. #nt
