Der Innovationsforscher Knut Blind sieht in Open-Source-Software einen Wachstumsmotor für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen in Europa. Doch damit das Realität wird, brauche es Hilfe vom Staat, sagt der Wissenschaftler.
"The logic then, which we are already starting to see play out, is towards an integration between the companies that supply products to farmers (pesticides, tractors, drones, etc) and those that control the flow of data"
The world’s biggest technology companies and distribution platforms, such as Microsoft and Amazon, have started entering the food sector. What does this mean for small farmers and local food systems? This is leading to a strong and powerful integration between the companies that supply products to farmers (pesticides, tractors, drones, etc) and those that control the flow of data and have access to food consumers.

Det slutliga genombrottet i kriget mot smittkopporna kom sedan 1796, då den engelske läkaren Edward Jenner tog fram det första regelrätta vaccinet mot smittkoppor.
Det var också han som myntade ordet ”vaccin”, från latinets vacca som betyder ko. Jenner hade noterat att mjölkpigorna på en gård i Berkshire tenderade att ha fin hy, utan vanprydande koppärr. Det berodde på att de utsattes för kokoppor som bara ger milda symptom hos människor, men ger immunitet också mot smittkoppor. "
"Dessutom så känns det otroligt orättvist att Microsoftmiljardären Bill Gates ska behöva ta emot så mycket dynga - filantropen Gates har ju räddat miljoner människoliv genom fonden som bär Gates och hans hustrus namn.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation har bland annat finansierat ett stort antal sjukvårds- och utbildningsprojekt i tredje världen. Det här inkluderar att bekämpa aids bland barn i fattiga länder och att vaccinera 40 miljoner barn mot polio. Sedan grundandet av stiftelsen är det beräknat att 6,9 miljoner liv har blivit räddade från diverse sjukdomar.
Som om det här inte skulle vara nog så har Gates testamenterat 90% av sin återstående egendom till välgörande ändamål. Ändå har han under de senaste åren fått iklä sig rollen som ärkedjävul i diverse foliehattars fantasier. Som man säger, otack är världens lön."

Abstract: We investigate the darknet – a collection of networks and technologies used to share digital content. The darknet is not a separate physical network but an application and protocol layer riding on existing networks. Examples of darknets are peer-to-peer file sharing, CD and DVD copying, and key or password sharing on email and newsgroups. The last few years have seen vast increases in the darknet’s aggregate bandwidth, reliability, usability, size of shared library, and availability of search engines. In this paper we categorize and analyze existing and future darknets, from both the technical and legal perspectives. We speculate that there will be short-term impediments to the effectiveness of the darknet as a distribution mechanism, but ultimately the darknet-genie will not be put back into the bottle. In view of this hypothesis, we examine the relevance of content protection and content distribution architectures.

Biblioteksbladet 12.11.2018: Med ett dramatiskt språk och Bill Gates pengar ska världens bibliotek förmås gå i takt med tiden. IFLA:s generalsekreterare Gerald Leitner kämpar med en biblioteksvärld där det finns ”hundratusentals” som är obenägna att förändras.
" ”Rörelsen” är framför allt arbetet med en gemensam strategi för världens bibliotek som påbörjades häromåret med hjälp av ett tioårigt finansiellt stöd från Bill och Melinda Gates stiftelse, som Gerald Leitner beskriver som en ”game changer”. "

Robert F. Kennedy's son claims that Dr. Tony Fauci and the Gates Foundation stand to make a hefty profit from the manufacture of the COVID-19 vaccine.
"Billionaire Bill Gates, meanwhile, has been a target of conspiracy theories and misinformation from far-right political pundits during the COVID-19 pandemic. The misinformation campaign spread exponentially after Gates publically criticized US President Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic.
Online fact-checker Politifact said that there is no evidence that the Gates Foundation has a patent for a Coronavirus vaccine. The website said that the Gates Foundation is currently funding 70 potential coronavirus vaccines in the United States.
USA Today also debunked an earlier theory that the Pirbright Institute in Britain, which the Gates Foundation invests in, also has a patent for the Coronavirus vaccine. The USA Today article said that those claims were unfounded and that the Gates Foundation is funding an initiative to speed up research into COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.
The theory claimed that the Gates Foundation had engineered the Coronavirus and the necessary vaccine in order to make a profit off the vaccine.
Dr. Tony Fauci, on the other hand, has served as the NIAID's Director since 1984. He is part of the Trump Administration's Coronavirus Task Force and is widely regarded as one of the most trusted medical officials in the United States. He has been an advisor to every US President since Ronald Reagan. "

Robert Kennedy Jr. claims that Bill Gates "owns the WHO" and called the Microsoft founder "the most powerful man in public health." Kennedy Jr., the son of Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of John F. Kennedy, made the claims in an interview on YouTube channel Valuetainment on May 2, 2020
Bill Gates TED Talk about epidemics Marc 2015: In 2014, the world avoided a global outbreak of Ebola, thanks to thousands of selfless health workers -- plus, frankly, some very good luck. In hindsight, we know what we should have done better. So, now's the time, Bill Gates suggests, to put all our good ideas into practice, from scenario planning to vaccine research to health worker training. As he says, "There's no need to panic ... but we need to get going."
