Die Gesellschaft zur Verfolgung von Urheberrechtsverletzungen e.V. ist insolvent
Dieser Tage gibt es auch gute Nachrichten: Die Gesellschaft zur Verfolgung von Urheberrechtsverletzungen e.V. (GVU) ist pleite! Damit endigt die überflüssigste und kontraproduktivste Pressure-Group seit Menschengedenken...
Meine Meinung: Eine in meinen Augen sehr positive Nachricht. Auch wenn die GVU letztendlich nur ein Symptom unserer kranken Gesellschaft und System ist.

◽Business survival skills◽
A bakery in Tapanila, Helsinki called 🍰Rönttösrouva🎂 lost a huge chunk of their business in a blink of an eye due to the cancellation of all parties and gatherings because of the #coronavirus situation here in Finland.
However, these smart and obviously humorous people quickly came up with a product that could save the day - or the whole business, actually:
Their "toilet paper cake" is oat based with a passionfruit filling and, according to several news outlets, is selling like hell.
The bakery has also enhanced their home delivery capacity and according to the owners is working long hours to keep up with the online orders !
Good thinking, Rönttösrouva - best of luck and thanks for the "feelgood news" for the day ! 👍
The Rönttösrouva website is in Finnish only

Freeman John Dyson... R.I.P., the Free Man
15 December 1923 – 28 February 2020
Freeman John Dyson was an English-born American theoretical physicist and mathematician known for his work in quantum electrodynamics, solid-state physics, astronomy and nuclear engineering. He was professor emeritus in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, a member of the Board of Visitors of Ralston College and a member of the Board of Sponsors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.MORE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_Dyson
Dyson originated several concepts that bear his name, such as Dyson's transform, a fundamental technique in additive number theory, which he developed as part of his proof of Mann's theorem; the Dyson tree, a hypothetical genetically-engineered plant capable of growing in a comet; the Dyson series, a perturbative series where each term is represented by Feynman diagrams; the Dyson sphere, a thought experiment that attempts to explain how a space-faring civilization would meet its energy requirements with a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output; and Dyson's eternal intelligence, a means by which an immortal society of intelligent beings in an open universe could escape the prospect of the heat death of the universe by extending subjective time to infinity while expending only a finite amount of energy.
Dyson believed global warming is caused by increased carbon dioxide through burning fossil fuels but that some of the effects of this are favourable and not taken into account by climate scientists, such as increased agricultural yield. He was skeptical about the simulation models used to predict climate change, arguing that political efforts to reduce causes of climate change distract from other global problems that should take priority.
Dyson died after a fall, at a hospital near Princeton, New Jersey, on 28 February 2020 at age 96.
