ModeliHub: A Web-based, Federated Analytics Platform for Modelica-centric, Model-based Systems Engineering
This paper introduces ModeliHub, a Web-based, federated analytics platform designed specifically for model-based systems engineering with Modelica. ModeliHub's key innovation lies in its Modelica-centric, hub-and-spoke federation architecture that provides systems engineers with a Modelica-based, unified system model of repositories containing heterogeneous engineering artifacts. From this unified system model, ModeliHub's Virtual Twin engine provides a real-time, interactive simulation environ…

Fascinating technology. I always thought the impulse engine was just a clever piston doodad that transfers momentum from an artificial gravity pocket 😃
Impulse engine | Memory Alpha | #StarTrek

Impulse engine
An impulse engine or impulse drive was a common propulsion system used on starships used to create impulse power in order to achieve impulse speeds. In Federation starships, the impulse drive was essentially an augmented fusion rocket, usually consisting of one or more fusion reactors, a driver coil assembly, and a vectored thrust nozzle to direct the plasma exhaust. The fusion reaction generated a highly energized plasma. This plasma, ("electro-plasma") could be employed for propulsion, or...

A May 22 move by the Supreme Court may signal the end of the NLRB’s independence, say labor leaders,
and transform the agency into an extension of the White House.
In turn, they warn, Donald Trump could use the board to reward friends and punish enemies. 
“It’s time to ring the alarm bell across the labor movement,”
said Jody Calemine, the director of advocacy at the AFL-CIO, the national union federation representing nearly 15 million workers across the country. 

‘It’s Time to Ring the Alarm Bell’
Labor leaders say a May Supreme Court decision could turn the agency that protects workers into a rubber stamp for President Trump.

Challenge-Based Funding to Spark Origins Breakthroughs
Origins of life research is marred by ambiguous questions and goals, creating uncertainty about when research objectives have been achieved. Because of numerous unknowns and disagreements about definitions and theories, the field lacks clear markers of progress. We argue that the origins community should focus on goals that have agreed-upon meaning and can be consensually categorized as achieved or unachieved. The origins community needs these goals to maintain coherence amongst a federation of…

Noen ganger kjenner jeg på frustrasjonen over at det er arbeidsledere og et hierarki som bestemmer over meg på jobben.

Common ownership? Never, so long as society clings to economic monopolies and the machinery of state, true freedom for all remains impossible!
As Rocker argued, only the abolition of all monopolies and the creation of a federation of free communities, where the land and means of production belong to everyone, not privileged minorities, can end exploitation and allow genuine liberty to flourish.
Until then, "common ownership" is just a slogan, not a living reality.
