On Sunday October 9th we went to NY. Travel went smoothly and without anecdotes. We arrived, left things in the hotel (with its spectacular penthouse lounge that we had no time to visit) and we went for dinner (all the restaurants visited, here). Without exaggeration, from Monday 10 to Tuesday 18, virtually the entire time we were looking for apartments, visiting flats with and without agent, meeting with real estate agents, collecting information for signing the lease … and the first thing we noticed is that without a local phone, it was all much more difficult.
From works to characters the list of plagiarism in mainstream media and culture is staggering. Read also the comments for further info and discussion.
It even happens between Harvard scholars!
Know of any comprehensive list of plagiarism? Let us know!
Governments that use stats to lie, that shamelessly change political stands, that pocket millionaires paychecks and retirements in even in times of crisis</a>, that <a title="https://www.ij.org/about/4058" href="https://www.ij.org/about/4058" target="_blank">steal from citizens with any excuse</a>, that <a title="https://boingboing.net/2011/09/25/rejected-designs-for-the-federal-housing-finance-agency-seal.html?utm_source=pulsenews&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29" href="https://boingboing.net/2011/09/25/rejected-designs-for-the-federal-housing-finance-agency-seal.html?utm_source=pulsenews&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29" target="_blank">do not care to spend 400$ or 600,000€ in a logo</a>, that allow an <a title="https://youtu.be/6zZ_JfROhOE" href="https://youtu.be/6zZ_JfROhOE" target="_blank">out of control financial system</a> (and force lower interest to finance a war driven by personal economic interests in a time that required higher interests) which places us at the edge of the cliff and dares to "rescue them" with everybodys money, with a cost higher than which would be needed to end poverty in the world, and not making any changes so it does not happen again in the financial or food markets … all this and more, with complete impunity.
We all know TED. But there is a lot of information and academic material freely available online. Luckily that material is growing (education and science have always been areas which, unlike what copyrights zealots might want you to think, have grown thanks to sharing knowledge).
Some examples that I have found amazing:
– Integrative Biology, UCBerkley (English)
– Videos from Nobel lectures at Gustavus Adolphus College (English)
– Lectures on current neuroscience issues by Professor Francisco Rubia (Spanish)
Everyday 156,000 people die in the world. Yesterday a Mexican flower seller died from shot wounds, a Chinese mother died giving birth, a Turkish photographer died, a kid soldier was killed in Uganda, a Japanese widower died in love, and an American computer entrepreneur died, amongst others.
Keep thinking different.
According to this article the food people usually eat (thanks to my wife and my conscience, I have slightly healthier eating habits than most people) is pure shit: wood celulose in many foods, fruit juices over a year old, ammonia in meat, artificial blueberries, “free-range chicken” that is not free at all, and other lies.
