#FtMyers #Teacher Resigns After #Classroom #Library Is #Confiscated;
Over Mike Andoscia’s eight years as a #socialstudies teacher at North #FortMyers #HighSchool, he’d grown his #classroomlibrary to more than 600 #books. When he came into #school on Jan. 16, they were gone.

Way back in the 1990s, I worked as a file clerk for #MIT's legal department. While filing patents for inventions, I noticed the file folder for #PonsAndFleischmann's #coldfusion experiments was empty. When I asked someone about it, they told me the #USGovernment came and #confiscated them. Pons and Fleichmann's experiments did not pan out (or so we were told), but the fact that the government can just grab potentially game-changing inventions was a bit unnerving (and then I found out about #NikolaTesla...).
Revisiting the cold case of cold fusion
by Curtis P. Berlinguette, et al.
Published: 27 May 2019
Abstract:
The 1989 claim of ‘cold fusion’ was publicly heralded as the future of clean energy generation. However, subsequent failures to reproduce the effect heightened scepticism of this claim in the academic community, and effectively led to the disqualification of the subject from further study. Motivated by the possibility that such judgement might have been premature, we embarked on a multi-institution programme to re-evaluate cold fusion to a high standard of scientific rigour. Here we describe our efforts, which have yet to yield any evidence of such an effect. Nonetheless, a by-product of our investigations has been to provide new insights into highly hydrided metals and low-energy nuclear reactions, and we contend that there remains much interesting science to be done in this underexplored parameter space.

Cold fusion remains elusive—but these scientists may revive the quest

"Bitcoin is #HARAM." - #UmarVadillo
He questioned the need for #crypto if #dinar & #dirham/ #gold & #silver #coins, deposited somewhere, can be exchanged in a #blockchain, with the crypto only representing the #physical #assets. The problem with that that #Bitcoin tries to solve is that physical assets can be legally #confiscated & the physical transfer can be halted. Bitcoin avoids that by being purely #digital, #decentralized, #pseudonymous and #permissionless.

EU wants to test waters on Russian asset confiscation
The EU is currently exploring legal ways to reuse frozen #Russianassets that could be #confiscated due to EU sanctions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a proposal seen by EURACTIV.
