07:48 Techrights-sec; did you see the photos of the many crowds there, large and small, in the UK
07:48 Techrights-sec; yesterday? Many superspreader events took place and in the coming weeks the
07:48 Techrights-sec; results will manifest.
07:49 schestowitz-TR; No, I did not see it
07:49 schestowitz-TR; I focus on reayl holidays
07:49 schestowitz-TR; not plutophilia
07:49 Techrights-sec; Understood, but when scanning the news it was hard not to miss the packed
07:49 Techrights-sec; crowds ignoring all sensible distance
07:49 Techrights-sec; .
07:50 schestowitz-TR; we got subjected to this when the bus with the plyers came
07:50 schestowitz-TR; and then hoards of people walking alongside the bus washed us over like a massive wave
07:50 schestowitz-TR; which we disliked stronglyt
07:50 schestowitz-TR; there was no crowd control
07:51 Techrights-sec; yes that is what it looked like in the pictures
07:51 schestowitz-TR; I think I sent you a link to the video
07:51 schestowitz-TR; I almost showed up in it, I saw some people who were near to us

08:03 Techrights-sec; kind of, it is hard to keep track of all the bullshit. so remove it from the
08:03 Techrights-sec; links if necessary please
08:44 Techrights-sec; so typescript is EEE against javascript?

11:02 schestowitz; "
11:02 schestowitz; Dear colleagues,
11:02 schestowitz; In 2019, the EPO orchestrated a flawed Financial Study together with Oliver Wyman & Mercer. The President selected a base-2 scenario which foresaw deflation and an overall deficit of 3.8bn by 2038, and added a 2bn arbitrary buffer for closing the alleged gap.
11:02 schestowitz; In May 2020, SUEPO mandated Ernst & Young to perform an analysis. Comparing the key assumptions of the 2019 study with those of other EPO documents, Ernst & Young found that the 2019 study consistently took an overly conservative approach. It was clear that the EPO had no deficit.
11:02 schestowitz; In spite of this evidence, the President put in place as of July 2020 a new salary adjustment procedure aimed at closing the alleged gap and which cuts staff purchasing power. Instead of the alleged deflation, inflation materialized at the historical level of +9,1% in Germany[1] since then. At the same time, EPO salaries were adjusted by only +0,5%.
11:02 schestowitz; Over the same period, the EPO saved on liabilities and increased its assets in the treasury fund and the pension reserve fund. Within only 2 years, the new salary adjustment procedure saved 1,33bn of the 2bn planned to be saved over 20 years. At the end of 2021 the actual budget surplus came to 385.7m, 10.6% better than 2020, and significantly above the budget figure of 214.8m.[2]
11:02 schestowitz; The generated savings are currently not managed by staff. Staff has no say in the supervision of the treasury fund of the EPO and there is currently no mechanism to make cash payouts out of the pension reserve fund.
11:02 schestowitz; In view of the excellent performance of the EPO, staff should be thanked for their effort instead of having a historical loss of purchasing power. This situation is neither justified nor sustainable. For the above reasons:
11:02 schestowitz; SUEPO Munich requests an extraordinary salary adjustment to be applied as of 1 July 2022.

12:04 schestowitz-TR; such a law would be good, but >50 staff limit should be removed
12:04 Techrights-sec; yes and how can anonymity be guaranteed even setting aside the question of
12:04 Techrights-sec; authenticity
12:05 schestowitz-TR; a matter of track record and TRUST

12:17 schestowitz-TR; draft
12:22 Techrights-sec; reading
12:22 Techrights-sec; "Sounds like a mental issue, God complex of sorts" to diagnostic, arm chair
12:22 Techrights-sec; psychiatry
12:22 Techrights-sec; just mental or instability, either way it's not a desirable trait in one
12:22 Techrights-sec; in his ostensible role
12:22 schestowitz-TR; shall I say ego issue?
12:22 schestowitz-TR; OK I will work on rewording that bit now
12:27 Techrights-sec; ack
12:34 schestowitz-TR; remember part of his loss of temper is due to us
12:34 schestowitz-TR; because he named us before it happened
12:34 Techrights-sec; ack
12:37 Techrights-sec; yes a good sign but important they are removed from office and not replaced
12:37 Techrights-sec; with similar crooks or cronies
12:38 schestowitz-TR; being passion ately hated by crooks is a badge of honour
12:39 schestowitz-TR; that's the council's job
12:39 schestowitz-TR; buit it is complicit
12:39 schestowitz-TR; as if the eu/ec
12:39 schestowitz-TR; *as is
12:39 Techrights-sec; the EC is quite corrupt as well, the corruption may be intertwined
12:42 schestowitz-TR; this interplay motivates me
12:42 schestowitz-TR; euipo, wipo
12:42 schestowitz-TR; exzposing epo corruptionb even showed that ilo/aloat is failing
12:42 schestowitz-TR; and lots of conrete examples of that
12:42 schestowitz-TR; so one cog shows a defunct machine
12:42 Techrights-sec; excellent
12:42 schestowitz-TR; so we keep on going
12:43 schestowitz-TR; we started getting uspto tips
12:45 Techrights-sec; The USPTO has been heading into trouble a lot recently but not trouble free
12:45 Techrights-sec; before that either
12:46 schestowitz-TR; epo competes with npos
12:46 schestowitz-TR; uspto lacks rivals
12:46 schestowitz-TR; uspto never enjoyed good reputation like epo
12:46 schestowitz-TR; uspto is widely regarded as tool of trolls and megacorps
12:46 Techrights-sec; ack
12:46 schestowitz-TR; which means there isd not much to damage inmage-wise
12:46 Techrights-sec; , however few outside even think about the USPTO
12:49 Techrights-sec; s/seserts/deserts/
12:49 Techrights-sec; I'm still considering how to get *any* regional news services to pick up
12:49 Techrights-sec; the topic, even superficially
12:49 Techrights-sec; ack
12:49 schestowitz-TR; another aspecst is
12:49 schestowitz-TR; if you ignore news seserts 2012-2022
12:49 schestowitz-TR; there is a long media and popularr tradition 'bashing' uspto
12:49 schestowitz-TR; epo is closer to home and the media treated it like the eu
12:49 schestowitz-TR; bashing = right wing
12:49 schestowitz-TR; corporsations = left weing???
12:49 schestowitz-TR; (standing desk= more typos)
13:00 Techrights-sec; rumors should not be highlighted. i't not sure the best way to document them
13:00 Techrights-sec; without appearing to spread them further
13:57 Techrights-sec; https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/10/the-pepper-spraying-cop-got-a-bigger-payout-than-his-victims/280822/

13:57 schestowitz-TR; world's happiest country frags its heels for 2 years before charging someone who assaulted people
13:57 schestowitz-TR; *drags
13:58 schestowitz-TR; if he fragged them, it might take 2 months to charge
13:58 schestowitz-TR; they might pay a home visit
13:58 schestowitz-TR; and serve papers
13:58 schestowitz-TR; and ask kindly to come to the back od the car
14:00 schestowitz-TR; ----
14:00 schestowitz-TR; if you become a thorn on the side of the rich and powerful, be careful and clever about it
14:00 schestowitz-TR; as they will look for way to intimidate, demonise, litigate, and arrest you
14:00 schestowitz-TR; don't make it easier for them and you will last longer as a thorn :)
14:00 Techrights-sec; ack
14:01 schestowitz-TR; if the thorn can stay there long enough, it will cause an infection
14:01 schestowitz-TR; but that takes time
14:05 schestowitz-TR; So you say our work is essential: Essential workers and the potential for transformative learning in the wake of COVID19 social and economic disruption - John Wiley https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ace.20455 opposite of "bullshit jobs"

14:05 schestowitz-TR; we got rid of one bullshitter: SarinGas
14:05 schestowitz-TR; only damage was done by that job
14:07 Techrights-sec; ack
14:07 Techrights-sec; lasting damage apparently
14:07 schestowitz-TR; some jobs are some bullshit that they are not only a net negative for society but for the business that pays the salary
14:17 Techrights-sec; yep
14:19 schestowitz-TR; thew other day you mentionmed that the renumeration level is high for skilled staff to be
14:19 schestowitz-TR; available at rather unsocial hours of the day without habving to wake anyone up to tackle the issues
14:19 schestowitz-TR; or incidents
14:19 schestowitz-TR; there was a seinfeld skit about how doormen don't do much ("sweep sweep sweep!") but I think it is an apt analogy
14:19 schestowitz-TR; here . they do not need to do much, but their presence alone, merely being there, brings some pece of mind and action when
14:19 schestowitz-TR; it is necessary
14:19 schestowitz-TR; if all jobs required non-=stop action, there would be no way tio employ 5 billion people 40 hours a week
14:19 schestowitz-TR; but people who never do any ACTUAL work do not seem to get it
14:19 schestowitz-TR; There are people who expect their guests to pay for these people's own, self-serving parties. Like our queen...
14:19 schestowitz-TR; [14:13] <techrights-news> Countries' royals are rich due to wealth gained by their people, it's not that those people enjoy wealth because of rich (leech) royals
14:19 schestowitz-TR; [14:15] <techrights-news> A royal's definition of hard work is visiting and shaking hands with people who do hard work. And then embarking on a plane with Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates to 'chill' for a while...
14:20 Techrights-sec; yep
14:20 Techrights-sec; they are paid so that they /are/ there on site when needed
14:20 Techrights-sec; again it is the availability which is being paid for
14:20 Techrights-sec; ack

18:05 schestowitz-TR; I said to the man on the phone )verry LON chat)
18:05 schestowitz-TR; that if a second outage happens, I'll get a ups for the modem and pi
18:05 schestowitz-TR; we talked aboutprices and such
18:05 schestowitz-TR; there has not been a repeat incident since
18:05 schestowitz-TR; so a ups might turn out to be a total wate of effort an dtime
18:06 Techrights-sec; ack
18:06 Techrights-sec; yes, if the power is that reliable it would be unnecessary
