JP Morgan launched their cryptocurrency called JPM coin, and from what I’ve read it’s a very dangerous development which will allow them, and other banks who follow in their footsteps, to create an even bigger banking scam. Here’s from the BBC: US investment bank JP Morgan has created a crypto-currency to help settle payments between clients in its wholesale payments business. Read more ⟶

You know what feels awesome? Rewriting a SQL query that took over 4 minutes to run to now run in 0.3 seconds. This on the basic free version of Microsoft SQL Server on a simple desktop computer. You don’t always have to upgrade to more CPU and RAM to improve performance. It’s amazing what you can do when you have deeper knowledge of how things work under the hood and take advantage of that. In other news I’m currently keeping myself busy with programming WebGL vertex and fragment (pixel) shaders for a web project I’m working on. This is one area of software development where you certainly have to be at least a little good at math. In between I’m working on QuantumGate, making small improvements and working out the next major components that I’m planning to build. I noticed more people taking a look at it on GitHub, so that’s a good development.

The QuantumGate Code of Conduct
After a short break I’m in the process of picking up where I left off on QuantumGate. I’ve added a code of conduct today to the main repository on GitHub.

The Financial Elite are behind Deplatforming and Censorship on the Internet
When Alex Jones got deplatformed a few months ago, I mentioned that it was the result of a coordinated effort happening behind the scenes to censor certain people. If you were still in doubt about who exactly is behind this latest trend of deplatforming, demonetization and censorship on the Internet, then the following bit of information will remove all doubt for you.

YouTube Demonetizes Collective Evolution’s Entire Channel
Here’s another fine example of censorship by YouTube: YouTube demonetized Collective Evolution’s entire channel. It looks like companies in Silicon Valley are doing their best to demonetize, deplatform and ultimately censor most of the alternative media and providers of content going against the brainwash of the establishment.

Do NOT trust Patreon, PayPal, Stripe and Slack
Do not trust Patreon, PayPal, Stripe and Slack. Do not become dependent on their services and stay away from them if possible. A few days ago Patreon banned another creator from their platform in what can only rationally be described as censorship. Read more ⟶

I don’t trust Cloudflare with IPFS
Cloudflare recently announced their own IPFS gateway: Today we’re excited to introduce Cloudflare’s IPFS Gateway, an easy way to access content from the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) that doesn’t require installing and running any special software on your computer. We hope that our gateway, hosted at cloudflare-ipfs.com, will serve as the platform for many new highly-reliable and security-enhanced web applications. Read more ⟶
I’m very disappointed in Linus Torvalds
Linus Torvalds, inventor and lead developer of the Linux operating system, recently stepped down “temporarily” from his role in the Linux project due to controversy surrounding his management style. The New Yorker published an article (archived) about it right after Torvalds’s announcement. Read more ⟶
