“The list of initial members includes Google, Microsoft, GitHub, IBM, Red Hat .. Also joining the group are Intel, IBM, Uber, and VMWare” .. “The founding members are GitHub, Google, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, NCC Group, OWASP Foundation and Red Hat, among others” ref.

There's only one of them that's a genuine Open Source organization. I figure it's just another land grab under the guise of security.

A novel coronavirus outbreak of global health concern

“In December, 2019, Wuhan, Hubei province, China, became the centre of an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause, which raised intense attention not only within China but internationally. Chinese health authorities did an immediate investigation to characterise and control the disease, including isolation of people suspected to have the disease, close monitoring of contacts, epidemiological and clinical data collection from patients, and development of diagnostic and treatment procedures.”

“By Jan 7, 2020, Chinese scientists had isolated a novel coronavirus (CoV) from patients in Wuhan. The genetic sequence of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) enabled the rapid development of point-of-care real-time RT-PCR diagnostic tests specific for 2019-nCoV (based on full genome sequence data on the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data [GISAID] platform). Cases of 2019-nCoV are no longer limited to Wuhan.”

What Socio-cultural Practices May Affect Containment Efforts in Ghana?

“As the recently released GPT-3 and several recent studies demonstrate, racial bias, as well as bias based on gender, occupation, and religion, can be found in popular NLP language models” ref

And water is wet. If you read a book by a German or South American author then the text has to reflect the background of the writer. What do you expect. Why is this deemed in need of correcting.

I just wonder is anything like this “research” is being investigated in places like China or Saudia Arabia. I had to attend a training course recently, where you injested vast amounts of similar sounding text and then take a test. For a moment I thought I was being inducted into a cult, the cult of intersectionality. I think the true purpose of such studies is to narrow-down the range of thought of the partipicients, how better to getting them to comply with the prevaling orthodoxy. Orwell said it better thirty six years ago:

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

“after media reported that data had been stolen, including emails from Chancellor Angela Merkel's constituency office”

For fcuk sake, it was the Americans doing the hacking of Merkel's email and mobile phone as well as the Chairman of the Inquiry into the spying by the NSA. As well as spying on the the UN's general secretary.

“Turla, one of Russia's most advanced hacker groups, has created malware that gets its orders from email attachments sent to an arbitrary Gmail inbox.”

An ‘advanced’ hacker group uses gmail

It means mean we lose any sence of code intergrity :]

Is it wise, keeping all you secrets in “the cloud” :]

Dave Chappelle on the Alphabet People

@thegarbz: “What does the I and A stand for in LGBTQIA and when are we going to add the other 19 characters? These people seem to have something about C, D, E, and F to just skip over them.”

“No seriously though I just googled LGBTQIA to find out what the I and A is and found a reference to LGBTQIAP+, so I guess the Brave Space Alliance has something against Pansexuals, and the "fuck it we've run out of letters '+' " crowd.”

“China Has Been Trying To Avoid Fallout From Coronavirus. Now 100 Countries Are Pushing for an Investigation”

A fake headline that is not representive of the actual resolution.

“Initiate, at the earliest appropriate moment, and in consultation with Member States, 1 a stepwise process of impartial, independent and comprehensive evaluation .. and make recommendations to improve global pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response capacity” ref

I do know it isn't the best course of action to cut-off finance to the WHO in the middle of a pandemic. But then again this is part of Trumps playbook of deflecting attention away from his own failed responce.
