Apparently, Canada passed bill C-22 on June 22 2023. It was granted royal assent, and they're working on developing the regulations.

Bill C-22 is "an act to reduce poverty and to support the financial security of persons with disabilities by establishing the Canada disability benefit and making a consequential amendment to the Income Tax Act".

Looking at Content 3di, it’s crucial to see in this national strategy for guaranteed basic income, the possible list of effects on government includes replacement of existing social programs. Compare this to M-46 (motion for a guaranteed livable basic income, as opposed to the naming of Bill C-273 which tellingly drops the word livable) in part v, reads ‘in addition to current and future government public services and income supports’. Crucial because the combination of Child Tax Benefit, Guaranteed Income Supplement, Old Age Security etc. but also of course, health care, and many other programs are part of what makes the infrastructure of Canada more conducive to a UBI that isn’t a vector to further marketization and this will be key in distinguishing proposals between the Liberals and the NDP. The rhetorical strategy of emphasizing a form of basic income that partly already exists for youth and old age and has had its successes, might be of assistance in forcing the possibility of a UBI that doesn’t have to do away with existing social programs and perhaps constructing a different idea of what adulthood can be.

EFF's videoconferencing backgrounds (permalink)

Telework is a quiet reminder that we live, in some sense, in an age of wonders. As terrible as lockdown is, imagine it without any way to videoconference with your peers and colleagues.

But it's also a moment where we tremble on the precipice of cyberpunk dystopia, when calls for mass surveillance – both for epidemiology and stabilizing states that are bruised and reeling – meet a world where everything is online and amenable to "collection" by spooks.

This is, basically, the moment that EFF has been warning about for 30 years: the moment when the "digital world" and the "real world" fully merge, and where the distinction between "tech policy" and "policy" dissolves.

One way you can help keep this in your colleagues' minds is to use EFF's amazing, free/open graphics as your videoconferencing background (most of these are the creation of the brilliant Hugh D'Andrade).

Now, those are all great, but this one is Room 641A at AT&T's Folsom Street center, where the whistleblower Mark Klein was ordered to build a secret room so the NSA could illegally spy on all US internet traffic.

The ideology of economics (permalink)

Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century" advanced a simple, data-supported hypothesis: that markets left to their own will cause capital to grow faster than the economy as a whole, so over time, the rich always get richer.

https://boingboing.net/2014/06/24/thomas-pikettys-capital-in-t.html

He's followed up Capital with the 1000-page "Capital and Ideology" – whose thesis is that the "laws" of economics are actually policies, created to "justify a society's inequalities," providing a rationale to convince poor people not to start building guillotines.

The first ideology of capital was the "trifunctional" system of monarchist France, dividing society into "those who pray," "those who fight," and "those who work."

After the French revolution, we enter the capitalist phase, then social democracies, and now, "meritocracies."

"Meritocracies" invest markets with the mystical power to identify and elevate the worthy, in a kind of tautology: those who have the most are worth the most. You can tell they're worth the most because they have the most.

("That makes me smart" -D. Trump)

In Piketty's conception, "Inequality is neither economic nor technological. It's ideological and political," where "ideology" "refers to a set of a priori plausible ideas describing how society should be structured" (think: Overton Window).

https://bostonreview.net/class-inequality/marshall-steinbaum-thomas-piketty-takes-ideology-inequality

The major part of the book seeks to explain how the post-war social democracies gave way to the grifter meritocracies of today, pulling together threads from across the whole world to tell the tale.

On the way, he described alternatives that were obliterated, and others that were never tried, and shows how "meritocracy" gave us Trump, xenophobia, Brexit, and the Current Situation.

In particular, he's interested in why working class people stopped voting (spoiler: they no longer perceive that elites will pay attention to them irrespective of how they vote) — and what it would take to mobilize them again.

The elites' indifference to working people is grounded in an alliance between the Brahmin Left (educated, well-paid liberals) and the Merchant Right (the finance sector). Notionally leftist parties, like the Democrats, are dominated by the Brahmin Left.

But more than any other, Macron epitomizes this alliance: proclaiming his liberal values while slashing taxes on the wealthy — punishing poor people for driving cars, exempting private jets from his "climate" bill.

Life in a "meritocracy" is especially cruel for poor people, because meritocracies, uniquely among ideologies, blame poor people for poverty. It's right there in the name. French kings didn't think God was punishing peons, rather, that the Lord had put them there to serve.

"The broadly social-democratic redistributive coalitions of the mid-twentieth century were not just electoral or institutional or party coalitions but also intellectual and ideological. The battle was fought and won above all on the battleground of ideas."

As Marshall Steinbaum writes in his excellent review, Piketty's work doesn't just highlight new ideas in economics: it highlights the intellectual poverty of the economics profession and its tunnel vision.

"Economists cannot be allowed to be the arbiters of the intensely political concerns Piketty takes up in the book, and the good news is that there is reason to believe they won't be."

Canada nationalizes covid patents (permalink)

Canada's Parliament has passed Bill C13, "An Act respecting certain measures in response to COVID-19," amending patent law to create automatic compulsory licenses for any inventionused to fight covid, including diagnostics, vaccines, therapies or PPE.

https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/43-1/bill/C-13/third-reading

As E Richard Gold writes, it's an "important signal that Canada will not support IP delays…While most firms are helping find solutions, this will prevent those who try to take advantage-by raising prices or limiting supply-or those who cannot deliver to block what is needed."

Exponential Threat (permalink)

"Exponential Threat" is a remarkable – and factual – political ad, one that contrasts Trump's statements on coronavirus with the spread of the disease in America.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkMwvmJLnc0

More remarkable: Trump has threatened to sue the media for airing it, which is a totally cool and normal thing for someone who has sworn a solemn oath to uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to do.

Sanders on GOP stimulus cruelty (permalink)

This Bernie Sanders floor speech in the Senate on the GOP's relentless attempts to punish poor people in the covid relief package is a must-watch

https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/fp3my0/bernie_goes_full_sanders_on_the_republicans_for/

tldr: GOP Senators are freaking out because some people in line to get the pittances they're doling out actually earn EVEN LESS than $1k-2k/month, and so they might get a raise in the form of covid relief.

That is, rather than taking the fact that this bare-minimum subsidy package exceeds "normal" income as a wakeup call to raise the minimum wage for the first time since 2009, the GOP is calling for cuts to aid to the most vulnerable Americans.

As Sanders points out, these same Senators had no problem with the Tax Scam, which poured trillions into the accounts of the richest Americans, directly and indirectly through stock-buybacks, which also left US business vulnerable and in need of trillions more today.

Now those bailed-out plutes want workers to risk death to "restart the economy," and the GOP will ensure they'll starve if they don't.

As ever, The Onion nails it:

"GOP Urges End Of Quarantine For Lifeless Bipedal Automatons That Make Economy Go"

Record wind-power growth (permalink)

As the world's wind-generation capacity increases, you'd expect annual growth to fall proportionately (it's easier to double a very small number than a very big one!), but this year should see the largest proportional growth ever, a 20% increase!

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/25/worlds-wind-power-capacity-up-by-fifth-after-record-year

That number is uncertain (hello, coronavirus), but on the other hand, there's a massive stimulus package in the offing that could be used to restart the economy by saving the planet with renewable energy.

The non-adjusted, pre-virus projection for this year's total growth in wind power was an additional 76GW (to meet climate projections, that number has to rise to 100GW/year, and then to 200GW/year).

Social distancing and other diseases (permalink)

Though the evidence is a little shaky, it appears that social distancing has dramatically reduced the spread of other infectious diseases, like flu.

https://qz.com/1824020/social-distancing-slowing-not-only-covid-19-but-other-diseases-too/

The data comes from an Internet of Shit "connected thermometer" company that (allegedly) anonymizes its data and uses it for health surveillance; they report a massive drop-off in high temps relative to other years and pre-distancing levels.

The claims are plausible, but they're also an ad for an IoT company that sells a product no one needs, so take them with a grain of salt.

I'd be interested in STI transmission after weeks/months of government-recommended masturbation-over-hookups:

Badger Masks (permalink)

A local hospital asked researchers at the UW Madison Engineering Design Innovation Lab to design them a field-expedient face-shield that could be mass-manufactured to protect its staff from coming cases.

https://www.wired.com/story/tinkerers-created-face-shield-being-used-hospitals/

Using hardware-store parts, the UW makerspace, and teleconferencing with self-isolating collaborators, the team designed an excellent mask, the Badger Shield:

https://making.engr.wisc.edu/shield/

They've manufactured and delivered 1,000 Badger Masks to the hospital and a Ford plant in MI is making 75,000 more this week for Detroit-area hospitals. Here's a technical spec you can follow if you have access to equipment and parts:

https://www.delve.com/assets/documents/OPEN-SOURCE-FACE-SHIELD-DRAWING-v1.PDF

It involves just 3 pieces: polyethylene sheets (laser- or die-cut), an elastic headband, and a 1" thick strip of self-adhesive polyurethane foam. For initial production, Midwest Prototyping used office-supply-store electric staplers for assembly.

The design process started with a teardown of an existing, approved mask, and the project lead, Lennon Rodgers, worked with collaborators to replicate it, sanity-checking successive designs with his wife, an anaesthesiologist.

They started hand-delivering prototypes to the hospital, who refined the design further, swapping in latex-free elastic and lengthening the shield. Tim Osswald from UW used his polymer engineering expertise to find a supplier who could create a custom die.

Now, more than 1M Badger Masks have been sought, with manufacturers like St Paul's Summit Medical tooling up to meet demand.

Other designs are popping up across America. San Francisco's Exploratorium is making 200+ shields/day using its own makerspace.

The luo trademark case.- sources

Its a reply to some people in the recast forums. I've shortened their statements, but that's basically what they said/asked.

I don't believe luo owns these trademarks now.

The trademarks ARE registered to Luo, some of them are even validated (sources below). Yes, its ridiculous that these companies haven't filled the trademarks for themself the moment they got into business (like any european/american company would do), yes that was a stupid idea, but that doesn't change the fact that Luo now is doing something that has to be illegal (Stealing someone else work, then getting their trademark for yourself to boot them off the market? Come on. Not even a chinese judge would speak in their favour.).

Why are loongsoul, spiritdoll and dollzone involved? Aren't they Chinese companies?

Loongsoul, Dollzone/Dollchateau and Spiritdoll are chinese companies, and the DO have their trademarks for themself since a couple of years. Most companies that are currently affected are korean companies - the chinese companies are helping the korean ones out, because the whole thing IS affecting the BJD community as a whole.

China doesn't care about copyright, they won't care if someone holds a trademark.

Yes, the chinese don't really care for copyright or trademarks, but saying "well if no one's looking its okay if they do something illegal" is like saying "its okay to steal from other people, everybody is doing it". And its NOT. okay. Its especially not okay because Luo even tries to get the trademarks for european companies (Lillycat for example) - thats not just a punch in the face for recasting her dolls, thats far, far worse.

It's about fucking dolls, there's far worse out there!

People have gone to jail for far less than 'fucking dolls' - like spreading movies on internet platforms (copyright infringement) or selling software they don't own (same) or selling hack/cheats for other games (same). Just because there are worse things that copying dolls doesn't mean that a comparatively 'small' evil like this shouldn't be punished.

Why did they noticed it now, and not earlier?

Again, they're korean companies, and checking the status of your trademark in China isn't something you do every few weeks, especially if you've never applied one yourself. Thats like googling yourself the first time and finding a ton of negative confessions/feedback about something that could have been easily rectified a few months ago, but since you didn't know about them, you didn't do anything. Same problem here.

I still don't believe it. There aren't any sources! Antis are making this up to hate us even more.

I really don't know how you can say you need more information. What do you want? The companies are working on it, they have, by far, better things to do than keep the western part of the community up to date on everything they're now doing. The fact is that they ARE doing something, that they're working together, and that they know that the community is worried.

Sources.

First post translated, 25.4., 10:56:

Regarding the malicious registration of pirates by pirate traders, Wadao has been watching and following up since yesterday.

At present, Wadao has communicated with the agency that owns the agency rights. At the same time, it began to look for experts and lawyers in related fields to consult with them and strive to take effective actions as soon as possible to cope with the current situation. (At present, it is planned to focus on dealing with the industrial and commercial registration part, raise objections to the publicity period, invalid registration of successfully registered applications, and register their own trademarks as soon as possible to enhance self-protection.)

If there are other parents who share common aspirations or have relevant professional knowledge, please feel free to contact us. Although there are many issues that cannot be answered promptly, there is definitely a response from Nakajima.

The trademark is also misappropriated.

Then, 25.4 .,18:23:

So far, it has been determined that Doll Heart will unite with ADoll to solve the problem: dearmine, nine9, scretdoll, cocoriang, chicabi, ttya, kukuclara, lati....

im going to kill the next person who talks about c-11 and deliberately misinterprets the bill to think it's about censorship

Hey, if you're going to talk about bill C10 you should probably post the actual text of the bill. It reads more like regulation on streaming platforms than the people post content to them.

People brought up privacy concerns of the bill so I brought up privacy experts talking about that aspect, anon.

No need to be condescending and snarky. I really do not appreciate being talked down to as if I'm unaware of the content I post on this blog. I read about everything I post.

Also its not just streaming platforms, this week the Liberals expanded this from just streaming platforms to users as well as these recent articles have pointed out:

New broadcasting bill could regulate all your Facebook, Instagram and YouTube posts, experts say

More broadly, the bill is aimed at modernizing the Broadcasting Act to reflect the fact that Canadians consume things like music and movies differently nowadays —  often using streaming services or social media.

By bringing platforms like YouTube and Netflix under the Act, they’d be forced to pay a portion of their revenue into the Canada Media Fund, which funds Canadian programming, and would be forced to make Canadian content more visible on their platforms.

Originally, the law exempted user-generated content from regulation – so the videos you post wouldn’t be subjected to Canada’s rules for broadcasters, like the ones Global News have to follow.

But on Friday, the government decided to take that provision out of the bill.

“The effect of the removal is to take the position that all user-generated content, all TikTok videos, Instagram uploads, YouTube videos and the like … all that content is subject to CRTC regulation,” explained Michael Geist, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa.
