The Council of State of Cuba has passed legislation regulating the creation and operation of small and medium-sized companies with up to 100 employees. "We continue to take decisive steps to update the economic model" of the republic, said the president of the republic, Miguel Diaz-Canel on Saturday, August 7th.
In February, the Cuban authorities decided to attract private business to the state economy, opening up most industries for small entrepreneurs and self-employed. About 600 thousand out of 11.33 million inhabitants are engaged in private entrepreneurship.
In USSR early steps had been identical to this.
Currently, large families in the Russian Federation make up 6.5% of all families with children, but almost 20% of all Russian children grow up in them. In order for the population in the Russian Federation to at least remain and not decrease, the number of large families in the country should increase by 7 times by 2035 and make up about half of all Russian families. This is a kind of categorical demographic imperative for the Russian state and society.
Despite the still cultivated attitudes towards having few children, moreover, maintaining the state of actually forced small children, the specified target increase in the number of large families is quite possible. In any case, the main tool and driver of demography in Russia is the directed increase in the number of large families with the help of all possible cultural, humanitarian, social, financial and economic efforts of the state and society.
In essence, this presupposes the transfer of the social stratum (stratum) of large families from the state of only an object of social protection to the state of the elite social stratum of Russia. However, for this, it is necessary to legislatively define and ensure, by analogy with the federal laws "On the status of military personnel" (N 76-FZ) or "On the status of a member of the Federation Council and the status of a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation" (N 3-FZ), the special status of large families families as a national treasure and the main resource of positive demography.
It is the introduction of a special status for large families as the elite of the Russian population that constitutes the essence and novelty of the proposed bill.
New law coming that allow such families to have huge subsidies exceeding their usual income and turning them into professional breeders.
On June 9, the US Supreme Court, by a split of 5 to 4, rejected the Alabama District Court's decision upholding the landlord association's claim to lift the eviction moratorium, which was issued by the CDC. Supreme Court Justice, Tram's appointee, Brett Cowano, commented on the decision on behalf of the majority:
“I agree with the District Court and the applicants that the CDC has exceeded its existing legal authority by declaring a nationwide moratorium on evictions. By Congress to Help Tenants, I vote to overturn the District Court's decision to suspend it. For the CDC to extend the moratorium beyond July 31, clear and specific congressional approval will be required through new legislation. "
On July 29, White House Press Secretary Jane Psaki issued a statement indicating that “President Biden would strongly support the CDC's decision to further extend the moratorium on evictions. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has made it clear that this option is no longer available. " "In light of the Supreme Court decision, the President is urging Congress to immediately extend the moratorium on evictions to protect vulnerable tenants and their families."
On Monday August 2, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Biden had asked the CDC on Sunday to consider extending the moratorium by 30 days, but the agency "could not find a legal basis for a new, targeted eviction moratorium."
However, on August 3, the CDC still issued a directive declaring a moratorium on evictions until October 3, 2021, citing an outbreak of COVID-19 strain Delta.
The new moratorium on evictions provides criminal penalties for landlords who will evict tenants. So the document states that an eviction that "does not lead to death" can be punishable by a fine of up to $ 100,000 and one year in prison. Eviction that "resulted in death" is punishable by a fine of up to $ 250,000 and one year in prison. For organizations, fines are $ 200,000 and $ 500,000, respectively.
According to the National Housing Coalition, about 6 million tenants could be homeless. According to researchers from the Aspen Institute, given the composition of the family, this is approximately 15 million people. The eviction of such a number of people, in a short time, would definitely lead to a social explosion, which cannot be allowed.
Nice, everyone want to make it infinite. I am for 100% prohibition of any renting of homes.
As reported by 9to5mac.com, Apple plans to soon announce a system for scanning photos stored in the smartphone's memory. The system is designed to detect images of child abuse (so they tell!). The solution is based on a fully closed black box like AI based hashing algorithm (aka “neuralMatch” system). At the start the neuralMatch system will be trained using a database from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and will be limited to iPhones in the United States. But both parts will change fast. System is planned to cover many categories of images and will be used worldwide in 2022 already.
Images will be scanned locally and without notifying or informing the owner of the smartphone, but also without transferring the full initial data to the cloud. During the scanning process, the system compares the photo on the phone with the data of the images of illegal content known to Apple. If there are coincidences with samples of incorrect images, according to the corporation, the system will presumably contact the administrators - low-paid residents of India or Bangladesh, who will carry out further work and decide how to act in your case. Among the actions, a complete instant phone lock is possible to prevent the possibility of deleting evidence.
The solution is based on hashing algorithms that are already used in the iCloud cloud storage when uploading photos. In general terms, the machine learning system that allows Apple Photos to recognize objects works in a similar way.

It is clear that Apple want to underplay the coming feature, constantly referring to hashing and such. In reality such algorithm will be constantly evolving and will report and send your private photos for constantly widening number of reasons.
For reference - all blocking and internet censorship in Mordor (and in all other countries) also started from child abuse and pedophiles. As it is universal thing that is very hard to complain about.
Also interesting
The update will be rolling out at a later date, along with several other child safety features, including new parental controls that can detect explicit photos in children's Messages.
It will be huge blow for 12-18 year olds who flirts and already have sex or petting, so they share such images with their partners. Now parents will be getting copy of each such thing. Creepy.
