*Thank god* there is some #sanity in the #british #government https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-g.. #pritipatel #rejecting making #misogyny a #hatecrime is a good step, it's still a shame that "hate crime" even exists though. #labour do not understand the #consequences of what they are asking for.
I'm glad the #nobel #prize is #rejecting the idea of #gender and #ethnicity #quotas - instead preferring a #meritocracy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-.. The #women and #minorities that get the #prestigious #award should not have their #achievement belittled, they won the award on their own #merits - something that would not be entirely true if it was awarded under another circumstance.
#apple are now #gatekeeping what is allowed in the #appstore - #rejecting a #horoscope #app as a form of #spam https://www.imore.com/apple-rejects-deve.. This seems like something that can be fixed with just #search #functionality rather than outright #blocking #apps ...
Looks like w3c are #rejecting a #proposal for #unique #decentralized #id 's: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/pub.. Apparently this is on the basis that it is not #energy #efficient due to the use of #blockchain - I somewhat have to agree. *Anything* that relies on blockchain will eventually grow to an #unsustainable #size , #computation or both. #proofofwork is simply not going to cut it.
