How Huawei’s lobbying campaign in Europe went rogue.

Once a high-flyer in Europe, Huawei’s growth stalled due to concerns over its ties with Beijing.

As the Chinese tech giant fought for survival, its EU lobbying campaign took a dark turn.

Many life-saving drugs fail for lack of funding. But there’s a solution: desperate rich people.

Each year, hundreds of potentially world-changing treatments are discarded because scientists run out of cash. But where big pharma or altruists fear to tread, my friend and I have a solution.

It’s repugnant, but it will work.

I've written a blog post about some of the services I self-host. Maybe you'd like to have a read before the weekend takes you away?

You can have a look at it over here blog.rune.pm/post/daily_driver

a blog · Daily driversI’ve been self-hosting for a couple of years now. As many of you, I started small and built my way up. In this post I’m going to talk about my “daily drivers” both in software and hardware. First lets cover the question I get most of all from my not so technically inclined friends. Then we’ll have a look at the hardware side followed by some of the software I use more or less daily. Some of the software I have is not used that frequently but it is in the category of “nice to have” and “because I can”.

"Baker noted that "there's long been this very human-centric idea of intelligence that only humans are intelligent." That's fallen away within the scientific community as we've studied more about animal behavior. But there's still a bias to privilege human-like behaviors."

Inside Porton Down: what I learned during three years at the UK’s most secretive chemical weapons laboratory.

My research took me into the heart of the mystery, as I studied its extensive historical archive. The reality was not as I expected.

I came across no aliens, but I did discover records of experiments that ran from the ordinary, through to the bizarre. And sadly, in one isolated case, the lethal.

Weekend #longread: Taking power, taking revenge: the asshole society strikes back.

Fascist assholes want to create a world where everyone is forced to act like an asshole, so the rest of us don’t remind them of their own abject failure to be human.

There’s no compromise with this.
