  • ‘I Am Gonna Eat Your Pussy’ Parent Reads From ‘Pornographic’ Book ‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’ Available to Middle School Students, Author Jesse Andrews Responds to Viral Clip

    Several instances of parents and school authorities in the States being at loggerheads have been reported. And the reason has been “teaching material.” A new video shared by Twitter handle Libs of TikTok has gone viral, and it shows a parent reading NSFW lines from a book, dubbing it as ‘pornographic.’ The viral clip starts midway with a middle-aged man carrying a printed paper and reading aloud to fellow parents. He claims middle school students, probably from sixth, seventh and eighth graders of Moore County Schools, have access to a ‘pornographic’ book named Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Amidst the commotion, he reads a few lines, “Hey Earl, I am gonna eat your pussy. Do you know how to eat pussy? [sic]” He continued to read further before being asked to sit down. The agitated and concerned parent was clearly horrified over this content being available for young students. To this, the novel’s author, Jesse Andrews, tweeted an old thread presenting his side of the story. He also reshared a letter previously written to school authorities (not Moore County Schools) but to Elizabethtown (pa) School District. He agreed the book has “sex and dumb jokes”, but it’s just “1.5% of the book.” He categorically denied Me and Earl and the Dying Girl to be ‘pornographic’. ‘Gay Porn’ Boy-on-Boy Sex Guide in Recommended Reading List for 7th Graders at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Video of a Mother Calling It Out Goes Viral.

    US business chief reads tariffs against six countries on digital taxes

    US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said on Friday that she was maintaining the threat of US tariffs on goods from Austria, Britain, India, Italy, Spain and Turkey in retaliation for her digital services taxes.

    In a statement, Tai announced that his office would move forward with the move to impose a possible tariff, which includes filing public notices and collecting public comment, which was originally put forward by the Trump administration for US Internet companies and e-commerce platforms But is part of an investigation initiated into targeted taxes. .

    Taxes target the in-country revenue of digital Facebook platforms such as Facebook, Google and Amazon.com.

    The United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced commitments for the Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) to pursue a global agreement on digital service taxes, despite renewed commitments from Democratic President Joe Biden.

    Tai also said that the USTR was ending a “Section 301” tariff investigation against Brazil, the Czech Republic, the European Union and Indonesia because these jurisdictions have not adopted or applied digital service taxes that were previously under consideration. If they adopt a digital service tax, the USTR said it could open a new tariff check.

    The move is in the midst of the first negotiation strategy revealed by Tai since he took office last week. Tai said in his confirmation hearing in February that tariffs were a “legitimate tool” for US trade policy.

    “The United States is committed to reaching an international consensus through the OECD process on international tax issues,” Tai said in a statement. “However, until such a consensus is formed, we will retain our options under the section 301 procedure, including the imposition of tariffs, if necessary.”

    The Internet Association, which represents major US Internet platforms, praised the move to keep the tariff threat alive against six countries, calling its industry a “great American export” that supports millions of jobs.

    “Today’s move by the USTR is an important confirmation in reverting to these discriminatory trade barriers as the US continues to work to find a viable solution in the OECD,” the trade group said in a statement.

    The United States also poses a more advanced tariff threat than France’s $ 1.3 billion in imports of French champagne, cosmetics, handbags and other goods in retaliation for the digital tax.

    Like the French tax, USTR’s investigation of taxes adopted by Austria, Britain, India, Italy, Spain and Turkey found that they discriminated against US technology companies and were inconsistent with international tax norms.

  • Remote Siberian Data Center Reads Bitcoin Rally Awards

    Remote Siberian Data Center Reads Bitcoin Rally Awards

    Bitcoin has been earned – using its computer, to help process inexplicably “blockchain” or digital transaction records that reduce currency

    Four thousand kilometers from Moscow, near the banks of the Angara River, a Russian firm operating a huge data center powered by cheap local hydroelectric power is expected to double the price of bitcoin and its power generation this year. Telling about the plan.

    Bitriver hosts the device at its flagship 100-MW data center in the city of Bratsk, along with other smaller sites for cryptocurrency overseas miners from the United States, Europe and Japan who want to tap the region’s inexpensive energy. .

    The company may already be responsible for 2% of global bitcoin mining, estimates chief executive Igor Runets, but coming up with accurate figures in the sector was difficult.

    The price of bitcoin has risen nearly 300% since the beginning of November and topped $ 50,000 for the first time last month, as Tesla Inc. bought $ 1.5 billion worth of bitcoin and other large companies and investment houses and small traders. Chased into the property.

    Bitcoin is earned – or by using your computer, which helps to process “undercheck” blockchain or digital transaction records, which underline the currency.

    This requires huge computing capacity, and a lot of power, and is mostly done in cooler climates of Iceland, Canada, North China and Russia with large machines in aircraft hangar-shaped warehouses, where the heat generated is dispersed. Costs less.

    Rewards have never been higher for those who verify transactions in the Bitcoin-making process.

    “The current demand from our customers is over 700 megawatts and a gigawatt is coming,” Runset said. “We will definitely continue to build data processing centers. In 2021, we plan to reach 300 megawatts of power.”

    Another 100-MW center is already under construction in the neighboring Burutia region, Runset said.

    Large deals with foreign companies, such as last December, which saw 14 lorries loaded with equipment, arrive in Bratsk, could boost the local economy and are a sign that BitRiver has become a global player, he said. The company said in the video.

    Bitcoin volatility

    Russia last year granted legal status to cryptocurrencies, but banned them from being used as a means of payment.

    “The current law in Russia does not impede us anyway,” said Runcet. “It allows us to host computing equipment of foreign customers on Russian territory with settlements for it in dollars or rubles.”

    This arrangement reduces the financial impact of bitcoin price on BitRiver.

    “When bitcoin falls or rises, my profit, my revenue remains almost unchanged,” said Runset. “This financial stability is very valuable in a volatile market.”

    More lenient legislation would give Russian players more and more investment, Rennets added, which could help BitXaver improve its 2.5x year-on-year revenue growth in 2020. He declined to disclose further financial statements.

    One of the primary concerns imposed on bitcoin miners is their carbon footprint. Runset said Bitriver uses more than 90% of green power because it builds data centers in areas with electric spirals and renewable energy sources.

    According to Alexander Bryjannikov, executive director of the Russian Association of Cryptocurrencies, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain, Russia accounts for about 7% of the world’s bitcoin mining, a figure that does not include gray-market players and those illegally connecting to the power grid .

    Kazakhstan accounts for a similar figure, while China is the market leader.
