This shows that legislation should be written independent of used technology to execute the prohibited function.

And lets not forget who also owns Unsplash. Woudn't this lead to a defacto monopoly?

FairEmail is something I put my trust in.

I meant something different. The suggestion that magistral preparation would be just adding solvents would in my honest opinion mean that the source material the solvent is added to is the medicine. Hence, if there was a shortage of medicine, you wouldn't have access to the raw medicine in the first place. Creating the medicine from raw materials (read: the production process) is one of the things that is typically specific to a brand, where the extra's like stabilizers make the results between generics in people so different. So if you can create your DIY medicine because the production process works at home lab scale (but for scaling up, it won't work) that might be a very good thing for the local pharmasist doing their magistral preparation, but not for a competitor that would need to have a well designed reaction chamber and maybe some proprietary catalyst for mass production.

This seems to be different in The Netherlands. I don't see how juist adding solvents would create fully patented medicines. Already since 2017 the lobby was going with a big publication in 2018 about CDCA for CTX.

In many countries magistral preparation is allowed by a pharmacist to make drugs available that are not available and more recently affordable. I wonder if these guys are able to come up with more efficient production methods for this (legal) ways of making drugs by pharmacists.

If you are suggesting sodium bicarbonate, no it does not.

Have you got any insights why they would have started with embrionic stem cells if they seem know who they can force a stemcell into an islet?

I think there are multilpe things to consider. If this is a genetic defect, ones own stemcells must be first repaired, that may be a crispr-cas9 kind of technique. And the stemcells must be put in an envionment where they start to produce Islets of Langerhans. I wonder why the article mentions immunosuppressants, in case they are the stemcells created from skin, they are body native.

How is this supposed to work? High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC)? Because if Europe has 50Hz alternating current (AC) and USA 60Hz, that is obviously never going to work unless all sides are synchronised too.

The timespan seems in line with the British Post Office scandal.

Recently I have read some computer vision papers about animal orientation and I was very surprised that only the Chinese papers actually had the option to look at the code and reproduce their results. If a paper is written in a way that does comparisons with previous algorithms, but if everyone would require to implement their own reimagination of a paper that does not speed up the research. I would say that it would be more important to actually have data, code, etc. to check if the results match what was published then checking for reasoning errors in the first place.

In order to make proper use of this, I guess you would want to set CPU-affinity per process (or for a specific interrupt), balance it, and increase (or decrease) the core frequency. I wonder if there is any desktop case for such precision control.

As Linux user I really-really liked the Metro interface too, and being able to do everything offline. I also found it quite interesting Microsoft eventually was able to run Android apps native on the phone. But from developer perspective, writing code on this phone in plain C, Microsoft's compilers (ansi-C) had so much bugs for ARM... With all the developer hackathons and pizza meetings we eventually got to a point they could actually report the issues upstream, but I find it quite disturbing that they only tested their C# stack. I wish something like the elegance and swiftness like metro would be brought to a new platform, for example postmarketOS.

If you know what it actually treats, you also understand that an underlying inflamation by unknown worms is resolved, hence one thing less for the body to worry about. I was actually surprised about the other uses of hydroxychloroquine in regular medicine, read: not for malaria, that it had emergency approval made sense.
