@From Quarks to Quasars@stasibook
> 100 years ago, the rocket that started the space age flew for only 2.5 seconds.
> On March 16, 1926, American physicist Robert H. Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket from a farm in Auburn, Massachusetts. The rocket itself looked modest. It stood about 10 feet tall (3 meters) and was built from thin metal tubes connected to tanks of liquid oxygen and gasoline.
> But the technology behind it would eventually power humanity’s journey to space.
Until then, rockets relied on solid fuels like gunpowder. These early designs were simple but inefficient and difficult to control. Goddard believed liquid fuels could produce far greater thrust and allow engineers to regulate combustion more precisely.
His small experimental rocket proved the idea worked.
> When it launched, the rocket rose about 41 feet (12.5 meters) into the air and traveled roughly 184 feet (56 meters) before landing in a nearby cabbage field. The flight lasted only about 2.5 seconds.
> Despite its short journey, the test marked a turning point in engineering and physics.
Liquid-fueled rockets allow precise control over thrust by adjusting how fuel and oxidizer flow into the combustion chamber. That principle remains at the heart of nearly every large rocket used today.
> Decades later, the same basic concept would power rockets like the Saturn V that carried astronauts to the Moon, and modern launch vehicles that send satellites and spacecraft across the solar system.
> At the time, Goddard’s experiments attracted little public attention and sometimes even ridicule. Yet his work laid the foundation for modern rocketry, space exploration, and satellite technology.
> From a small rocket rising a few dozen feet into the air, the path to space had begun.

only time travel from time periods where covid is NOT highly transmitted across the world

Any time traveller travelling from a plague-time like now to the past should be executed upon entry and their body dealt with a extremely dangerous biological hazardous waste

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com

Andreas is wrong about a lot of things. Like really basic "how did you manage to get to adulthood without learning the basics of the world you live in" things that suggest either a childhood of abuse or neglect or serious brain damage and/or religious programming. He's disgusting human detritus who endangers people around him through his ignorance, through his lack of empathy, through his stupidity and through his irrational hatreds. He's long since exhausted my patience, and is a textbook example of what can go wrong when idiots like him were allowed to self-radicalize on the internet.

HOWEVER It is an insult to faggots to call him a faggot. This guy is is so utterly below 'faggot' that no matter how you feel about the use of that word -- you have to vote for me, instead. I might be straight as an arrow but this piece of shit doesn't deserve to win anything but a prison cell.

to

1.4 The Public Health Agency of Canada should actively seek out partnerships and collaboration to leverage for the GPHIN platform more sophisticated technology and methodology used by different sectors, including academia and the private sector, while using free software, run on publicly owned infrastructure, sharing data with canadian academia under free licenses

or something like it
generally (from fb):

> In other words what they are really talking about by using the term "intellectual property" is the use of outsourcing contracts to restrict what GHPIN can do with their own data, and what academics can use of *their* data using things like reachthrough agreements[3]. Their use of software/platform from the unfortunately named proprietary OpenText was the problem -- they are yet another example of a government organization that relied on proprietary software from a vendor as a central point of failure. This reliance on outsourced IT infrastructure (which, incidentally occurred under Harper's watch) was part of why GPHIN was allowed to fail. It's a lesson that GHPIN hasn't learned yet, since their solution to "OpenText" was to originally bring in more infrastructure in-house to Shared Systems canada, but that failed, so they went back "to the cloud". AKA someone else's computer system, probably Amazon/Google.
> We should ensure that the software that they use is free software, run on canada's *own* infrastructure and not "the cloud". Trusting "the cloud" when the US is capable of turning off canada's access to it is a huge mistake.

ie : what canada has been trying to do since 2021 or so is migrate GHPIN "to the cloud", and to restrict what academics can do when they work with GHPIN. Both of these things are broken and shortsighted, and we should stop both, and fix the issues that would cause either to be a problem rather than group the whole set of problems under "intellectual property"

35) x-post from fb:

Instead of proposing an alternative solution to the tariff situation(which I've been posting every day for awhile) I'm going to go in a slightly different direction today. For suggestions on "what to do instead" see just about anything I've posted in this thread and for "but we have to do something" see above in this thread.

Apparently on the TV news, especially the business news networks, the americans have brought in a variety of business "experts" and propagandists. What they are saying to their viewers, one after another is that "canada can't win, the US is too strong, trump's dick is too big, US tariffs are harming us too much, we have to give in and do everything trump wants us to and kiss his ring"

This is somewhere between a black and white fallacy/false dillema[2]("our choice is either to tariff back or kiss his ring"), a argumentum ad baculum[4]("let us grab you by the beaver [or we'll hurt you]") a hasty generalization[5]("we can't win with tariffs therefor there's nothing we can do") and generally not the *only* way to look at the situation.

It's clear that the trumpists PR agencies are masters at framing and what they are trying to do is to instill Fear and Doubt into canada at the prospect of taking our future into our own hands. Also it's trying to tie a bad response (retaliatory tariffs) as the *only* response because sooner or later it's going to be clear to us that our own response *is harming us* and so we will eventually stop doing it. Once we stop with the retaliatory tariffs there will be some in canada who will be tempted to just give in everything and give trump and the american government whatever they want -- but this is a mistake.
because it is possible to hold these two premises
* We shouldn't *have* retaliatory tariffs
AND
* We should resist trump's attempt at taking over the country

as well it is possible to admit two things
* It is a bad idea to have retaliatory tariffs (IS)
* We should resist trump's attempt at taking over the country (OUGHT)

(Note the existence of an "IS" and an "OUGHT" above - one of them is a positive claim, the other is a call for action -- this is an is-ought problem[1] - again something that could in principle be bridged but which at least as stated above, and which as stated on TV by appeasers/propagandists certainly isn't).
Generally: don't believe the hype. North Korea survived as an independent nation for generations against the fact of US attempting to overthrow its government and replace it with a friendly regime. Granted: their standard of living is low, and they have a dictator, and have allied themselves with china to some extent, and now have nuclear weapons... but they are living proof that just about no matter what trump does it is *our choice* at the end of the day what happens to our nation. We *can* survive trump's tariffs, and we can even survive our own stupid retaliatory tariff response (though both will be painful). We can also make life increasingly difficult for the US government via a lot of actions of our own. Resistance is fertile[6] for generating more solidarity, more ideas for resistance and for getting closer to having more practice at self-government generally. We *never* need to "kiss the ring" and acquiesce to the demands of trump and his totalitarian allies for full submission. This is true even if we "choose our battles" wisely and strategically, both in terms of "trade war" (in Melanie Jolie's terms) and otherwise - there may be things that we have to agree on that makes sense on their own terms, or in terms of strategic losses that put us in a better position but those *should be considered on their own merits*. We have a lot going for us as a nation and a lot of potential that is as of yet unrealized - we've got potentially years to go before Trump's inevitable one-big-mac-too-many-event to make his life, and the life of those who oppose our existence very difficult.

Especially as Trump is picking fights with nations around the world -- Canada is increasingly not alone. Every time Trump opens his mouth about Iran(see above) or Panama or France -- it offers us another nation that has every interest in working together with us more closely. Every time Trump acts to restrict trade with other nations it empowers Canada to replace them and grow our economy to counterbalance them. The scales, globally are already close to tipping. If we can continue to mostly have peace(outside of regions like ukraine) we can continue to reap dividends that will buffer us against US pressure. And the fact that we are so close already to a global order shift is a sign worthy of hope that their strength will falter.

Canada should not relish struggle over our own independence with the US government. What we're going through is already ugly and can get more ugly. We should be working together with the US to pursue our shared, common goals as two nations with a somewhat shared history, similar cultures, similar aspirations, similar problems and similar limitations. But if Trump and the GOP want to pressure us into bending to his will, we can resist. We should expect the US to use PR and propaganda against us. We should expect that PR to make it look like not just victory but our own survival as an independent nation is impossible. Because that's what Trump wants.

And we should never confuse what Trump wants for what we're going to do.

There's about 250,000 farsi speakers in canada already: you could pair each of them with a monolingual person (ie from the prairies). Maybe state-assigned-farsi-gf goes too far but just saying: there's plenty of young farsi women and young monolingual english saskatchewan farmboys/alberta oil workers who could be learning a language, and vice versa. Something like an english-farsi katimavik-like program maybe. All voluntary of course.

fun fact: there's an essay that I wrote back in the very early days of being on the WWW [ it's terrible ] - but we need to leave WIPO if we're going to stop the spread of "intellectual property" rhetoric in our nation's laws. The US is going to have an issue with our doing this, but that would be the point - it would be better to leave WIPO than to have retaliatory tariffs. ie leaving WIPO should be our response to the trump tariff on canadian steel, aluminum, etc.

27) explicitly drop out of the 1971 copyright convention / Paris convention (Which was required to ratify upon entry to NAFTA #1

it will interfere with dropping copyright protection for US materials - if we are serious enough to drop out of WIPOCT, NAFTA2/USMCA, TRIPS and want to do this we're going to have to drop out of the 1971 paris convention

but realistically, so many of our problems with copyright stem from this 'universalizing' agreement that attempted to bridge the gap between berne and non-berne copyright systems and internationalize copyright control over global culture. Even on its own merits -- the goals which it set out to accomplish by existing, it has miserably failed -- canada should have long since recognized this openly and been talking about getting rid of it, but there's one reason why we won't: pressure from the USTR to make our copyright system more restrictive, more maximalist. Well that pressure should now be ignored.
