This #AI #Startup "Copied" an #OpenSource Project and Got Half a Million #Dollar #Funding by Y Combinator

It could be harsh to say that it was just CTRL+C → CTRL+V. However, even, when you are forking a project, and copying something, doing it better really matters. And, I don't think they have fared well here.

Stop wasting money on private agencies and fund the #NHS

STOP spending huge amounts of our taxpayer money on private agencies and give it to the NHS instead!

Why is this important?

Private agencies, like the Foundation Group, are routinely charging hospitals nearly £2,000 per shift for specialist nurses.

Last year alone the NHS spent a staggering £10 billion on agency staff. Privatisation doesn’t work and takes away valuable staff, money and resources from the NHS at a time when it needs it most.

That’s why NHS England has come up with a comprehensive plan that would give the NHS enough permanent staff to meet the needs of patients for years to come and finally put an end to endless waiting lists.

Thank you Wojmir for the 10 Euros donation! Let us remind you that we desperately need help to fund our backups for all of our projects. We need to raise 300 Euros in less than 2 weeks. https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/

To keep on doing trade-free things in a trade-based world is a fight that requires a lot of struggles, almost like swimming against a tsunami. But what is the alternative? Give up and not do anything? That's by far the easiest solution since the water current will push you into the "normal" direction. But for now we are still trying with TROM. We have reached many thousands of minds and with very little funding required. Thus, if you think TROM is still relevant, consider to support it since I (Tio) cannot push it all by myself.

Big thanks to the few people who are still supporting TROM, financially or not.

Lost science?.. Thomas H. Moray's(1892–1974) son John should continue his fathers #energy patent, and pass on his notes, but..

His son John kept his fathers notes secret. Hoping he could pass those notes to a proper researcher.
This is one of John's last requests i could find. dated 2015

You can read the whole story of who broke the "Radiant Energy ( R.E.) device" etc and how to restore it here.

A patent by Thomas: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/19/81/34/1a05c66cb4c369/US2460707.pdf

Allegedly Moray valve is part of that patent

In his notebook, dated November 1, 1913, Henry included a memo that he had obtained material from a railroad car at Abisco, Sweden the previous summer, and material from the side of a hill. He made electric tests of these materials, taking them home to try each as a detector for his energy machine. Tests indicated that this soft, white stone-like substance might make a good "valve-like detector"*.
[ * This "valve-like detector" is what led Henry to do research in semi-conductive materials, and from this soft white stone he developed his first Moray valve and the Moray valve that was used in some of the early Radiant Energy devices]
[p. 22] "Silver wire used on stone makes a rectifier." (source: http://www.rexresearch.com/moray2/morayrer.htm )

But John never did find a successor.
John diseases in 2021. So Who is now in posession of Thomas notes?
His memorial 2021 show names of their relatives

Seems there's another foundation on one of his relative's name.

But that foundations' website is still not active.

Do citizens of #European Union countries know their supranationale #government is #funding private companies in #Jordan to develop "#green" and "#renewable" #energy #infrastructure whilst the average youth #unemployment rate across all #EU nations is 15%, and even higher in some EU nations?

Look up "Catalyst MENA Clean Energy Fund" and see what EU citizen's #taxes are being used for. Did EU citizens #vote for this? Do EU nations not have problems of their own that require funding to solve? On whose #authority is this #wealth transfer taking place?

Consider giving to the West Bank's #animal #shelter!

AEA BETHLEHEM SHELTER - Promoting animal welfare

AEA Bethlehem Shelter

Animal Environment Associated (AEA) in #Bethlehem #Palestine is the only animal #shelter situated in the #WestBank. Founded by Diana Babish in 2016, the organisation provides a safe environment for thousands of #dogs and #cats and works with the local authorities to prevent the poisoning and shooting of dogs as a brutal form of animal control. AEA-Bethlehem is the only shelter that provides #treatment to injured dogs, cats and other #animals, and arranges formal animal #fostering and adaptions. They also provide #spay and #neutering services to the animals in their care, and to those who will be adopted. AEA-Bethlehem is also working to change policies that allow the abuse and the poisoning of dogs without penalty and for vets that witness these atrocities to be held accountable.. AEA-Bethlehem receives no government #funding, relying completely on urgently needed #donations. They also encourage local people to #volunteer at the shelter and visit schools to educate children about #AnimalWelfare and the #environment.
