🏳️🌈✊️ VITÓRIA! Pela primeira vez, o Supremo Tribunal Popular da China proibiu discriminação por orientação sexual, identidade de gênero e expressão de gênero em julgamentos, incluindo os termos de forma escrita na proteção legal contra discriminação. A sentença reconhece que insultos e humilhação por esses motivos podem gerar punições e indenizações, que empresas não podem discriminar em contratação, demissão ou ambiente de trabalho e que escolas podem ser punidas por bullying contra estudantes LGBTQIA+. O Tribunal afirmou que vai continuar padronizando decisões sobre direitos dessas minorias e incluirá dignidade humana e direitos da personalidade na formação de juízes.


Chamath: Taiwan Loses Its Strategic Importance in 18 Months @chamath: “ We're 18 months from Taiwan not being an important moment of conversation the way it is today. Why 18 months? Because we are at a point where we're probably 1-2 nanometers away from being able to do what we need Taiwan to strategically do for us. And so as we scale up our chip fabs, as we get more capacity, and interestingly, there are these orthogonal technologies being developed. I don't know if you guys saw, but Neuralink was showcasing a machine that is literally operating at the almost nanometer scale to do the brain operations for the implantation, all automatically. When you have the dexterity and the capability mechanically to make these things, the real reason then is a very different one than what it is today. Today, it's economic. And if you take that off the table, I think we'll have a very different attitude to Taiwan.”
