I should really fix my calender rendering. A two day event only pops up in the first day, but not in the second. When extended to three days, it correctly shows up in all three days. Meh.

In-reply-to » (#snqhnpa) @andros The article is a good reminder of the true blogging mindset. But let's try to think beyond. 2 ideas: (1) writing "forces clarity, structures your thoughts, sharpens your perspective". But it also generates thoughts in the sense of Heinrich von Kleist (1805). (2) You're writing for "the future you, one right person, one day" but you are also writing for the AI. The idea of AI as an audience.

#Europe has been for too long mandating the use of closed #standards, and in 2018 there was an attempt to get them #open by demanding free access to them using #FOIA.

The @EUCommission@EUCommission said “no”, those asking for them sued, then appealed, and in the now called “ @carlmalamud@carlmalamud judgement” the comission was told to grant access.

Who didn’t like this? Standards bodies - entities that should be working for a goal and the common good, but instead see their work as a business. In December, #ISO and #IEC sued. Let’s see how this evolves…

Meanwhile, in the French senate:

“Mrs. Catherine Morin-Desailly . - We need an industrial surge if we do not want France and the European Union to be crushed in the Homeric war between the Americans and the Chinese. The Horizon 2030 plan, which is failing, must be accompanied by strategic European funding, combining research and development in an open source logic , and an assumed doctrine of public procurement to strengthen our sovereignty. Our data is strategic, it is not negotiable for gas!

Let’s have a proactive speech at the Paris summit. Nothing would be worse than rolling out the red carpet for Musk, Zuckerberg and their cronies. (Applause from the benches of the UC , RDS E, SER groups and from several benches of the GEST ; Mr. Pierre Ouzoulias also applauds . )”
