  • Co-op delivery company in the works?!

    Great on Tony, doing the damn thing!

    https://fitsmallbusiness.com/what-is-a-cooperative-co-op/

    A cooperative, or co-op, is an organization owned and controlled by the people who use the products or services the business produces. Cooperatives differ from other forms of businesses because they operate more for the benefit of members, rather than to earn profits for investors.

    Co-ops are organized to provide competition, improve bargaining power, reduce costs, expand new and existing market opportunities, improve product or service quality, and obtain unavailable products or services (products or services that profit-driven companies don’t offer because they see them as unprofitable).

    Cooperatives present lots of opportunities for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. In this post, I’ll go over how cooperatives work, why you should form one, and how you can start one for your business.














  • Paywall, I don’t think [web archive org] link is allowed to be posted, when looking at the list of rules…

    Articles mentioned:

    The Public Defender’s Office, an independent arm of the Justice Ministry, said on Thursday that its lawyers would not represent the Oct. 7 defendants, arguing that the existing legal process for terrorist cases was ill-suited to this situation. It was a significant declaration for an agency created to defend society’s most disfavored, including indigent criminal defendants and people accused of terrorism.

    “Much more needs to be done to protect civilians and to make sure that humanitarian assistance reaches them,” Mr. Blinken told reporters in New Delhi after a diplomatic tour through Middle Eastern and Asian nations. “Far too many Palestinians have been killed. Far too many have suffered these past weeks. And we want to do everything possible to prevent harm to them and to maximize the assistance that gets to them.”

    Hamas and Israel are negotiating two hostage release proposals, one involving a small number of people and one that could involve 100 or more civilians being held in Gaza, according to officials briefed on the talks.

    “We have very serious concerns that these amount to disproportionate attacks in breach of international humanitarian law,” said Volker Türk, the U.N.’s high commissioner for human rights. He cited Israeli strikes on six locations in Gaza, including Jabaliya, Gaza City and Khan Younis.

    Israeli police detained five prominent Arab Israeli politicians for several hours on Thursday, including former lawmakers, as they prepared to hold a vigil in the city of Nazareth to protest Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, two Israeli civic associations said. The groups denounced the action, saying it constituted suppression of free speech.


  • Construction workers from India should not be used to replace Palestinian workers in Israel, said major Indian trade unions in a joint statement issued on Thursday, 9 November. The signed statement was released on behalf of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) , All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) and even BJP-affiliated Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) among others.

    Stating that Indian trade unions must rise in solidarity with Palestine and reject the “disastrous” idea, the central trade unions have called upon the Indian government to scrap the agreement signed in May 2023, during Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen’s visit, to send 42,000 workers to Israel.

    The Israeli construction industry also employs Chinese and Moroccan workers, but is feeling the absence of the large Palestinian workforce. Israel has therefore also approached China and Moldova for workers, but in the wake of Beijing’s hard line on the Israel–Palestine conflict, it is doubtful whether more Chinese workers would come to Israel.















  • Everything spys on us, not just tiktok. Yes, steps can be taken to lessen the spying, but in the end of the day we are just self censoring ourselves from other platforms.

    Social media is here to stay and the masses use it as a way to get information/entertainment.

    Making burner accounts are a thing, share information that goes against the status quo, I think that is admirable.

    Only way people are exposed to certain viewpoints is by joining that bubble and going against the narrative.

    In the end this gets complicated for various reasons, what do y’all suppose is the best course of action to go against the status quo?

    edit: fix similarities typo

    Awesome to see the similarities between: Newtonian Mechanics and Quantum mechanics

    Coulomb’s law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism and maybe even its starting point, as it allowed meaningful discussions of the amount of electric charge in a particle.

    Here, ke is a constant, q1 and q2 are the quantit>ies of each charge, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges.

    Being an inverse-square law, the law is similar to Isaac Newton’s inverse-square law of universal gravitation, but gravitational forces always make things attract, while electrostatic forces make charges attract or repel. Also, gravitational forces are much weaker than electrostatic forces. Coulomb’s law can be used to derive Gauss’s law, and vice versa. In the case of a single point charge at rest, the two laws are equivalent, expressing the same physical law in different ways. The law has been tested extensively, and observations have upheld the law on the scale from 10−16 m to 108 m.
