Meta (FB) Logo and Moscow Stock Exchange Logo - Chromostereopsis
by Gunnar Larson 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

Shawn's comment, " Different colors, and the corners are rounded in Meta's logo. Far from a striking similarity, if you ask me." Good point, but this can be explained by science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis *Moscow Stock Exchange* *Logo:* https://tinyurl.com/3v2fd3y2 *Meta's (Facebook) logo,seemingly is a shocker*: https://tinyurl.com/2p8csm8u *Chromostereopsis* is a visual illusion <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion> whereby the impression of depth <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_space> is conveyed in two-dimensional <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional> color images, usually of red-blue or red-green colors, but can also be perceived with red-grey or blue-grey images.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-Faubert_1993-1>[2] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-Faubert_1995-2> Such illusions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion> have been reported for over a century and have generally been attributed to some form of chromatic aberration <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration>.[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-3>[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-4>[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-SimonetPierre-5> [6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-Sundet,_J.M._1978-6> [7] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-YeMing-7> Chromostereopsis is usually observed using a target with red and blue bars and an achromatic <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey> background. Positive chromostereopsis is exhibited when the red bars are perceived in front of the blue and negative chromostereopsis is exhibited when the red bars are perceived behind the blue.[8] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-8> Several models have been proposed to explain this effect which is often attributed to longitudinal and/or transverse chromatic aberrations.[6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-Sundet,_J.M._1978-6> However, recent work attributes most of the stereoptic effect to transverse chromatic aberrations in combination with cortical factors.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-Faubert_1993-1>[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-SimonetPierre-5> [7] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis#cite_note-YeMing-7> -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

THE FACTS The market is there <https://email.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-i…> [image: Exhibit of global FemTech funding] <https://email.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-i…> *More than $2.5 billion—*that’s how much funding the world’s FemTech companies received last year (including all forms of capital raising). What do we mean by “FemTech”? Coined in 2016 by Danish entrepreneur Ida Tin <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…>, the term has grown to encompass a range of tech-enabled, consumer-centric products and solutions. These span menstrual health, pelvic and sexual health, contraception, fertility, maternal health, and menopause, as well as a number of health conditions that affect women disproportionately or differently, such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease. FemTech funding is surging, but this is just the beginning. McKinsey analysis shows that there are plenty of white spaces in the start-up landscape <https://email.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-i…>, particularly in areas beyond fertility and maternal health. Some companies have already branched out: Maven Clinic, for example, started in maternity care and then expanded across the reproductive life cycle. The company was recently valued at more than $1 billion. “Is there really still an unmet need in this area?” Although that attitude may be surprising, that’s the kind of question that some FemTech entrepreneurs continue to face, explains McKinsey senior partner Dr. Lucy Pérez. McKinsey research shows that the market is there—and some investors are taking notice. THE TAKEAWAY [image: Photo of a person working in a lab] <https://email.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-i…> *Less than 2 percent—*that’s the share of the global healthcare pipeline that’s focused on conditions beyond oncology that are largely specific to women. Remarkably, women’s health has been considered a niche market and a mere subset of healthcare—but that’s finally beginning to change. That means more research on conditions such as endometriosis <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…>, which affects one in ten women and girls of reproductive age—and can often take a decade to be diagnosed. It means that more providers may recognize possible signs that a woman is having a heart attack <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…>—such as nausea, shortness of breath, and general discomfort. And it means that more women will have their pain taken seriously <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…> and receive appropriate treatment for it. Here’s more from McKinsey on how modern medicine was developed with male physiology as the default <https://email.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-i…>, the consequences of women’s historical exclusion from medical trials, and the opportunities to better meet women’s healthcare needs. Essential to keep in mind: the conditions discussed in this piece don’t affect cis women alone; transgender and nonbinary people may also share some of these healthcare needs <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…> . — Edited by Julia Arnous, an editor in McKinsey’s Boston office [image: McKinsey & Company] <https://email.mckinsey.com/homefeed?__hScId__=v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e966…> Follow our thinking [image: LinkedIn] <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…> [image: Twitter] <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…> [image: Facebook] <https://email.mckinsey.com/T/v70000017fba5a6304a4562a6e96639818/85ac4522c63…> Share these insights Did you enjoy this newsletter?

Mexico City’s first femicide unit, formed to turn back tide of violent crimes against women
by professor rat 24 Mar '22

Sayuri Herrera was an unlikely pick to head up the femicide unit. Her background is in activism and human rights law, not policing. But when the police are part of the problem, an outsider’s perspective can prove a valuable asset. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-24/mexico-femicide-units-violent-crime-…

Huge blow to Putin’s Orcs as they are forced to retreat

The Russian army has retreated more than 30 kilometres east of Kyiv in the past 24 hours. Seasoned military observers say this was so dramatic it reminded them of when Julian retreated from the cypherpunk revolution to become a traditional journalist. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/russia-ukraine-war-live-updates-ukra…

Arweave: Unlimited Permaweb Document Archival
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

If you're not aware, another blockchain called Arweave is also purpose-built around preserving data for eternity via small payments in their AR currency. In summary, it works because miners need only store part of the chain, and are rewarded based on how much they store. https://arweave.org/ It's still engaging growing pains here and there. Its primary language is still node.js and there are presently some gateway caching issues people are repairing this month. A group called "textury" have set up a set of systems on top of arweave which attempt to provide increased ease of use, reliability, and automation. A primary tool is arkb, which provides automated upload from the command line: https://github.com/textury/arkb Arweave community telegram: https://t.me/arweavers Ardrive telegram: https://t.me/ardriveapp Textury discord: https://discord.gg/GtS2NzVAJG Here's the readme of arkb: # arkb Arweave Deploy that saves you data costs. ## Features - No file size limit. - No amount of files limit. - Doesn't upload files that you have already uploaded. ## How to use arkb runs using NodeJS and NPM. You must have both installed on your machine for it to work. Install arkb: ``` yarn global add arkb # recommended ``` or ``` npm install -g arkb ``` > **Note:** The installation of arkb needs node >=15.11.0 or you will get an error when using `arkb`. To manage multiple active nodejs, we recommend you have [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) installed on your computer, then you can switch different node in a simple command. And run: ``` arkb help ``` > **Note:** If you are planning to upload large batches of data transactions to the Arweave network, it is *strongly* advised that you use the `--use-bundler` option instead of regular deploy to avoid transaction failures. You can read about bundles and their advantages on the [Arwiki](https://arwiki.wiki/#/en/preview/WUAtjfiDQEIqhsUcHXIFTn5ZmeDIE7If9hJREBLRgak). ``` d8b d8b ?88 ?88 88b 88b d888b8b 88bd88b 888 d88' 888888b d8P' ?88 88P' ` 888bd8P' 88P `?8b 88b ,88b d88 d88888b d88, d88 `?88P'`88bd88' d88' `?88b,d88'`?88P' Usage: arkb [options] [command] Options Description --auto-confirm Skips the confirm screen --concurrency -c <number> Multi thread, default is 5 --debug Display log messages --fee-multiplier -m <number> Set the fee multiplier for all transactions --force -f Force a redeploy of all the files --gateway -g <host_or_ip> Set the gateway hostname or ip address --help -h Show usage help for a command --ipfs-publish Publish to Arweave+IPFS --license Specify the license of your upload with an spdx li --no-colors Print to terminal without fancy colors --tag-name <name> Set a tag name --tag-value <value> Set a tag value --timeout -t <number> Set the request timeout --bundle Locally bundle your files and deploy to Arweave --use-bundler <host_or_ip> Use an ans104 bundler service --wallet -w <wallet_path> Set the key file path Commands (alias) Description balance (b) Get the current balance of your wallet deploy (d) <folder_or_file> Deploy a directory or file fund-bundler <amount> Fund your bundler account help (h) Show usage help for a command network (n) Get the current network info status (s) <txid> Check the status of a transaction ID transfer <address> <amount> Send funds to an Arweave wallet version (v) Show the current arkb version number wallet-export (we) Exports a previously saved wallet wallet-forget (wf) Removes a previously saved wallet wallet-save (ws) <wallet_path> Saves a wallet, removes the need of the --wallet option withdraw-bundler <amount> Withdraw from your bundler balance ``` ## Contributing 1.
