System to check for fake medicines

jeudi 6 juin 2019 à 02:00

A new system has been set up to help patients check for fake medicines.

I hope it is possible to use this system without running a nonfree app on a nonfree phone operating system — otherwise it gives people the choice, "Your freedom or your life."

This sort of system can catch the bogus medicines that come from unapproved factories. It won't catch the bogus medicines made by approved factories that are cheating.

When the US FDA checked, it found that cheating was rife. Nowadays it doesn't see the cheating because it has chosen not to look.

The Australian government corrupted the pollution review of the new Adani coal mine. The responsible agencies were ordered from above to ignore their concerns.

Pollution of local water supplies is a serious problem, but if one even needs to discuss the issue it is because the planet roasters are in charge. No new coal mines should be permitted anywhere.

Cloud modeling

jeudi 6 juin 2019 à 02:00

Recent research on cloud modeling suggests that global heating will go 5 to 6 degrees C, rather than 4 to 5 degrees, if we don't reduce emissions. Each additional degree will lead to far bigger practical effects.

Modeling like this is the only activity that ought to be called "cloud computing." In the internet, there is no cloud, only computers belonging to various entities. But in the sky there are still clouds, for the time being.
