But that system, known as a computer-aided dispatch (CAD), relies on where a medic reports for duty over a radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department plans to start using technology that specifies exactly where an ambulance is, based on its GPS location. The new technology, known as a Mobile Area Routing and Vehicle Location Information System (MARVLIS), also uses Fire Department data to calculate how long it will take for an ambulance to respond to an incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency is currently testing the technology and plans to roll it out in the next few weeks, Smuts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is expected to face questions from at least one member of the Fire Commission concerned about how the agency is working to make improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Seconds matter when you're calling for a firefighter or EMS,\" said Commissioner Joe Alioto Veronese, who requested Smuts to appear on Wednesday after seeing reports of staffing problems at the 911 center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The staffing issue prompted a \u003ca href=\"http://abc7news.com/news/officials-working-to-properly-staff-sf-911-dispatch-center/1952861/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">call for a supervisors hearing\u003c/a>. Earlier this month the San Francisco Examiner reported that \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/mayor-lee-vows-solve-911-response-failures-two-months/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mayor Ed Lee promised\u003c/a> that the city would meet the national standard of answering 90 percent of emergency calls within 10 seconds within the next two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the San Francisco Chronicle recently reported that when \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Homeless-man-s-death-highlights-staff-shortages-11095772.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a man suffered cardiac arrest\u003c/a> and collapsed at a local church last month, several people called 911, but the phone kept ringing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are a lot of questions that I want to ask,\" Veronese said. \"The primary goal is to see if we can be better at response times.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco receives more than 1.2 million emergency and non-emergency calls per year, according to Department of Emergency Management spokesman Francis Zamora. That's an average of more than 3,400 calls per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2011, the agency has experienced a 37 percent increase in call volume. \"That means our dispatchers are answering 1,000 more calls a day than they did six years ago,\" Zamora said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department blames San Francisco's growing population and the increasing popularity of smartphones for the increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year the agency hired 23 new dispatchers.

But that system, known as a computer-aided dispatch (CAD), relies on where a medic reports for duty over a radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department plans to start using technology that specifies exactly where an ambulance is, based on its GPS location. The new technology, known as a Mobile Area Routing and Vehicle Location Information System (MARVLIS), also uses Fire Department data to calculate how long it will take for an ambulance to respond to an incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency is currently testing the technology and plans to roll it out in the next few weeks, Smuts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is expected to face questions from at least one member of the Fire Commission concerned about how the agency is working to make improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Seconds matter when you're calling for a firefighter or EMS,\" said Commissioner Joe Alioto Veronese, who requested Smuts to appear on Wednesday after seeing reports of staffing problems at the 911 center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The staffing issue prompted a \u003ca href=\"http://abc7news.com/news/officials-working-to-properly-staff-sf-911-dispatch-center/1952861/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">call for a supervisors hearing\u003c/a>.

That's an average of more than 3,400 calls per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2011, the agency has experienced a 37 percent increase in call volume. \"That means our dispatchers are answering 1,000 more calls a day than they did six years ago,\" Zamora said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department blames San Francisco's growing population and the increasing popularity of smartphones for the increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year the agency hired 23 new dispatchers.

"content": "\u003cp>A new social network has grown quietly in recent months. It's called Gab, and its users are invited to #SpeakFreely — an appeal attractive to many members of the far right and others who feel their views are stifled by mainstream sites like Twitter and Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gab.ai was born not long before the election, a brainchild of a young CEO in a \"Make America Great Again\" hat, taking on what he calls \"the Big Social\" with a motto \"Free Speech For Everyone.\" While Facebook and Twitter are attempting to clean up offensive content and misinformation, Gab CEO Andrew Torba argues the efforts result in censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For whatever reason, we're shying away from individual liberty, individual responsibility to this nanny-state, Big-Brother-esque forum or model of the internet, which is really scary to me,\" Torba said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsBQfEZvJeY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent conversation\u003c/a> with a commentator on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Gab makes the case for people to be able to post whatever they want, as long as it's legal. That means the site's \u003ca href=\"https://gab.ai/about/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user guidelines\u003c/a> prohibit very few types of posts: illegal pornography, threats of violence or terrorism, confidential information of users without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Gab launched, a \u003cem>Wired\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/09/gab-alt-rights-twitter-ultimate-filter-bubble/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article described\u003c/a> the site as \"an artifact from a dystopian universe where the alt-right completely took over Twitter.\" The alt-right has been associated with racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard Spencer, the white nationalist and a major \"alt-right\" figure, was suspended from Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/16/twitter-suspends-prominent-alt-right-accounts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in November\u003c/a> along with several other alt-right figures. \"To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do,\" Spencer said in a follow-up \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiADHzBOqZ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube video\u003c/a>. \"There's obviously Gab, which is an interesting medium. ... I think that will be the place where we go next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wave of news stories followed. \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/arts/the-far-right-has-a-new-digital-safe-space.html?_r=2&mtrref=undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described Gab\u003c/a> as \"a digital safe space for the far right.\" A \u003cem>Salon\u003c/em> reporter \u003ca href=\"http://www.salon.com/2016/11/05/inside-the-twitter-for-racists-gab-the-site-where-milo-yiannopoulos-goes-to-troll-now/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asked Torba\u003c/a> about Gab's logo — a green frog dubbed Gabby: \"I suspected it was a reference to Pepe the frog,\" the reporter wrote, referring to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/05/11/527590762/what-pepe-the-frogs-death-can-teach-us-about-the-internet\">the Internet cartoon character\u003c/a> that's been associated with the alt-right, neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Torba says the Gab frog is a religious reference, a symbol of exodus and rebirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, in the fall, Gab was invitation-only. Thousands of people were said to be on the wait-list. \"Gab is less than a month old, so it may well flame out like \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/01/peach-is-so-hot-right-now-heres-why-the-internets-obsessed-with-it/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peach\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/05/ello-artists/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ello\u003c/a>,\" \u003cem>Wired's\u003c/em> Emma Grey Ellis wrote in that September feature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Gab.ai opened to the public.

You can follow people and repost or comment on anything anywhere. Posts are restricted to 300 characters and can be upvoted by the community. Gab has developed an Android app, but Apple has so far rejected the social network from its app store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are permanent categories like \"Cuisine\" or \"Sports\" and sort of trending ones, called \"Live Topics,\" like \"Julian Assange\" or \"Seth Rich\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/05/19/529086029/sweden-drops-rape-case-against-julian-assange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">both reflecting\u003c/a> the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/17/528804792/unproved-claims-reemerge-around-dnc-staffer-s-death-here-s-what-you-should-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest news cycles\u003c/a>). Before Gab got rid of trending hashtags, #MAGA, #gabfam and #Trump were the virtually permanent mainstays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no bans on hate speech or harassment (and language does fly freely). The users have the option to \"mute\" whatever people or terms they want. In the wild, without muting or following particular people, a random scroll through categories on Gab is a roller-coaster of posts: Some benign ones (a chicken recipe, a prayer in support of President Trump, some links to music clips), then a startling one (a photo of a group of Klansmen, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leo-frank-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leo Frank\u003c/a> lynching), then back to regular internet lore (a dog video, a \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> skit). Throughout it all, there's a tremendous amount of debate over news, with a heavy dose of conspiracy theories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even when you have a bunch of people that are anti-politically correct and, you know, 'things were better in the 50s' or whatever the case ... people you might call alt-right, there's a much bigger group of people that aren't that,\" says Ryan Donker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I originally saw him posting in the science topics on Gab and later followed him on Twitter. His online handle is @TruckDrivinRyan — he drives 18-wheelers for a living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a local driver doing port work, I have a lot of down time. Most of my day is sitting at the port waiting for a box to be taken off or put on,\" Donker says. \"It's times like that when I'll go on the internet, goof off with people, read up on interesting things, get into arguments — whatever I can do to pass the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donker describes himself as libertarian. He says Trump is better than Hillary Clinton, but he does not always agree with the president. Donker is also openly gay. His partner is an immigrant. On Gab, he says he's faced off with a few haters — but that's what he likes about it: He says here, people are laid bare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, this social media starts as a place to be free and open and share a bunch of thoughts and ideas all willy-nilly is the way it should be,\" Donker says. \"I don't want you to feed me — I want a buffet, where I can pick what I want.

That means the site's \u003ca href=\"https://gab.ai/about/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user guidelines\u003c/a> prohibit very few types of posts: illegal pornography, threats of violence or terrorism, confidential information of users without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Gab launched, a \u003cem>Wired\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/09/gab-alt-rights-twitter-ultimate-filter-bubble/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article described\u003c/a> the site as \"an artifact from a dystopian universe where the alt-right completely took over Twitter.\" The alt-right has been associated with racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gab has developed an Android app, but Apple has so far rejected the social network from its app store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are permanent categories like \"Cuisine\" or \"Sports\" and sort of trending ones, called \"Live Topics,\" like \"Julian Assange\" or \"Seth Rich\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/05/19/529086029/sweden-drops-rape-case-against-julian-assange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">both reflecting\u003c/a> the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/17/528804792/unproved-claims-reemerge-around-dnc-staffer-s-death-here-s-what-you-should-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest news cycles\u003c/a>). Before Gab got rid of trending hashtags, #MAGA, #gabfam and #Trump were the virtually permanent mainstays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no bans on hate speech or harassment (and language does fly freely). The users have the option to \"mute\" whatever people or terms they want. In the wild, without muting or following particular people, a random scroll through categories on Gab is a roller-coaster of posts: Some benign ones (a chicken recipe, a prayer in support of President Trump, some links to music clips), then a startling one (a photo of a group of Klansmen, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leo-frank-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leo Frank\u003c/a> lynching), then back to regular internet lore (a dog video, a \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> skit).

Well, that could soon change. A new company called Lyrebird is working on software that can copy someone’s voice and make it say anything. Listen to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/05/ObamaTrumpImitatedConvoForWeb.mp3\" title=\"Coming Soon: Software That Can Perfectly Imitate Your Voice\" program=\"KQED News\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/sound-wave-1920.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an entirely fake conversation \u003ca href=\"http://lyrebird.ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lyrebird\u003c/a> made and posted on its website as an example of what its software can do. The technology is far from perfect. Voices still sound robotic and disjointed. Still, if you listen to this audio sample, you can most likely identify who the software is copying: former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump. The fact that it can get this close raises questions about what will happen in the not-so-distant future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Lyrebird, a minute-long recording of a voice is all it takes to start replicating it. While it sounds robotic now, they say the software will soon get much better. As more data are fed into the company’s algorithms, they teach themselves how to sound more human. It’s machine learning, which means there could be exponential improvement, said Steve Weber, professor at UC Berkeley’s School of Information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What sounds like close today, in a year could sound perfect or fundamentally indistinguishable, at least by the human ear,” Weber said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said if Lyrebird doesn’t reach that point, someone else soon will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am confident that it is being done in government and non-commercial realms,” Weber said. “And it has been worked on for some time, I would expect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the technology is perfected it would open that old Pandora’s box. There would be the potential for all kinds of fake news, impersonations and scams. People could synthesize a recording of a powerful figure, like Trump, saying anything. Anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember “The War of The Worlds,” Orson Welles’ 1938 radio drama where fake journalists reported an alien invasion? Imagine how scary that would be if someone inserted the voices of presidents into the drama, and instead of a War of the Worlds, it was a war between countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0K4ApWl4g?rel=0&showinfo=0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Sotelo is one of Lyrebird’s three founders, all computer science Ph.D. students at the University of Montreal. He realizes their technology could be dangerous, which is actually part of the reason they are developing and planning to release it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that we can really mitigate the problems by making it public in the same way that right now, if you see an image of myself standing on the moon, you’re likely to think this image is fake because you know the existence of image-editing software,” Sotelo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While admittedly scary, Sotelo said the company’s voice replication technology has noble applications. It could bring back the voices of cancer patients who can no longer speak, or of a deceased loved one, which is an interesting idea but could also be a bit unsettling. Regardless of how you feel about positive uses, Sotelo said someone has to show the world that voices can be copied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not a really comforting solution, not being able to trust audio anymore,” Sotelo said, “but we believe this is basically the only solution available.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyrebird plans to make its software available for other developers to use, and the founders said they want to be public about the capabilities of their technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just because Lyrebird is putting the work out in public, does that absolve the company from potential misuses?

A new company called Lyrebird is working on software that can copy someone’s voice and make it say anything. Listen to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The technology is far from perfect. Voices still sound robotic and disjointed. Still, if you listen to this audio sample, you can most likely identify who the software is copying: former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump. The fact that it can get this close raises questions about what will happen in the not-so-distant future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Lyrebird, a minute-long recording of a voice is all it takes to start replicating it. While it sounds robotic now, they say the software will soon get much better. As more data are fed into the company’s algorithms, they teach themselves how to sound more human. It’s machine learning, which means there could be exponential improvement, said Steve Weber, professor at UC Berkeley’s School of Information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What sounds like close today, in a year could sound perfect or fundamentally indistinguishable, at least by the human ear,” Weber said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There would be the potential for all kinds of fake news, impersonations and scams. People could synthesize a recording of a powerful figure, like Trump, saying anything. Anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember “The War of The Worlds,” Orson Welles’ 1938 radio drama where fake journalists reported an alien invasion?

He realizes their technology could be dangerous, which is actually part of the reason they are developing and planning to release it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that we can really mitigate the problems by making it public in the same way that right now, if you see an image of myself standing on the moon, you’re likely to think this image is fake because you know the existence of image-editing software,” Sotelo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While admittedly scary, Sotelo said the company’s voice replication technology has noble applications. It could bring back the voices of cancer patients who can no longer speak, or of a deceased loved one, which is an interesting idea but could also be a bit unsettling. Regardless of how you feel about positive uses, Sotelo said someone has to show the world that voices can be copied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not a really comforting solution, not being able to trust audio anymore,” Sotelo said, “but we believe this is basically the only solution available.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyrebird plans to make its software available for other developers to use, and the founders said they want to be public about the capabilities of their technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just because Lyrebird is putting the work out in public, does that absolve the company from potential misuses?

Not if you’re Josiah Zayner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zayner’s experiment was the subject of a short New York Times \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000005015342/gut-hack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">documentary\u003c/a> last month and it is pretty interesting, to say the least.

Future of You first met the mid-30s, erstwhile NASA Ames bio-researcher, upon the launch of his business, providing \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/2016/02/22/gene-editing-coming-to-a-kitchen-counter-near-you/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in-home CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing kits\u003c/a> to the public. That was\u003ca href=\"https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/the-odin-diy-crispr-kit/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> controversial\u003c/a> enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then last May, Zayner, who has suffered from ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and frequent diarrhea that have not responded well to conventional treatments, decided to take matters into his own hands — or guts — in an attempt to replace his microbiome and mitigate his bad GI problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bacteria are “almost an extension of you that can be helpful or harmful,” Zayner says. “It’s like this moving cloud that comes with you wherever you go. We and bacteria are like one organism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watch the video and you’ll see him replacing part of that organism by taking antibiotics to eradicate his own bacteria, then ingesting the feces of a friend (“\u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Yolo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yolo\u003c/a>,” he says at the moment of truth, the biohacker equivalent of “Down the hatch.”) He also swabbed his body and mouth with a saline solution containing the donor’s bacteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/2015/06/15/in-future-fecal-transplants-the-tool-wont-be-stool/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fecal transplants\u003c/a> are now an accepted therapy for a certain type of infection. The thing is, Zayner didn’t bother to test his donor’s sample. That puts him at risk, as the documentary warns, for “\u003cspan class=\"s1\">transference of parasites and pathogens, and even blood-borne illnesses like hepatitis.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“S\u003cspan class=\"s1\">ometimes there’s this thin line, you know, between being crazy and being knowledgeable,” Zayner admits. “And I can’t tell.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The Verge covered the experiment at the time. Writer Arielle Duhaime-Ross thought the process was less than scientifically rigid:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">I couldn’t help but notice Zayner cutting corners. After drying off, he put on a brand-new Hanes white T-shirt to prevent his old microbiome from recolonizing his body, but an old — though freshly laundered — pair of jeans. He sampled his arms, nose, and mouth, but he didn’t bother to take microbial samples from his genitalia, and didn’t plan on applying Michael’s skin bacteria to his penis or testicles. He told me that there just isn’t much scientific value in gathering that information. Over the course of his experiment, Zayner would only take a third of the poop pills that someone undergoing a standard FMT [Fecal Microbiota Transplantation\u003cem>] \u003c/em>procedure would, stretched over a longer period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Says a podcaster from The Verge: “T\u003cspan class=\"s1\">his guy is doing something that is legitimately dangerous and probably kind of stupid.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The experiment, according to Zayner, as well as genetic sequencing from an independent lab, was at least a partial success. (But need we say it: Don’t try this at home.)\u003ca id=\"interview\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that about a year has passed, we wanted to catch up with Zayner to see how he’s feeling about his health, the procedure and his critics. The following has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In the video, that did not look too fun.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah. The original plan wasn’t to have people document it. I was going to document it myself. But other people got involved, including a reporter and the people who made the documentary. So in the hotel room there’s like four other people that you can’t see who are badgering me with questions, taking pictures, and I’m just like ‘Oh my gosh, I just feel sick. Can’t you people leave me alone?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How are you feeling now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was really amazed by the results. There’s been no blood in my stool since the transplant, which just kind of blows me away; prior to the transplant it had been multiple times a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While the transfer of the gut microbes seemed to be successful , the bacteria in your skin and nasal passages were unchanged. Why do you think that is? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think I was recolonized by my own bacteria when I got back home to my own apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you noticed any personality or mood changes? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked people close to me to say if they saw any changes. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything aside from an addiction-level sugar craving. I’ve never encountered a craving like this. At first I didn’t fight against it. I’d go to the grocery store and find myself buying 50 candy bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does your donor friend have a sweet-tooth? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked him if he had sugar cravings, too, and he said, “I could eat a box of Oreos in one sitting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have any microbiome researchers reached out to you? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A ton, but none of them want me to mention their name or talk about them publicly — people from MIT, UCLA, Harvard, University of Chicago, UC Irvine, UC Davis, the FDA. They might be a little bit critical, but they’re mostly interested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you heard of other people trying this? Is that a concern, or even a hope of yours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a little bit of a concern, because what I did was pretty drastic. I wasn’t just trying to do a fecal transplant. I was trying to do a whole-body microbiome transplant.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You weren’t just trying to supplement, you were trying to wipe out and replace… \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people focused just on the fecal transplant. And that was the thing that provided the greatest benefit to me and worked. But I was also trying as hard as I could to wipe out all of the bacteria on my body and in my body, which — most people thought I would either die or end up hospitalized, which is crazy. That didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But were you worried about safety?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based upon my planning, I thought the chances of something bad happening\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>were pretty small. But when you have a lot of people around…mostly the people who were documenting it were really worried about a lot of things. Their attitude rubbed off on me and I got more and more worried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The donor’s samples — why didn’t you have those tested for things that could be dangerous?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really thought about that. A part of it might have been foolhardy, but part of me was like the whole purpose of this experiment was to create an idea of how somebody could do something like this. A lot of people don’t have access to getting donors tested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought the process I went through was pretty stringent. If you go to \u003ca href=\"http://www.openbiome.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OpenBiome\u003c/a>, the website that takes fecal transplants from people and they freeze them to give to people, they have a questionnaire you can fill out to see if you qualify as a donor. It’s pretty extensive and it’s something I mimicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The major things that you’re probably worried about are more blood-borne diseases and illnesses. People always say you should be afraid of feces because of hemorrhagic E. coli. Honestly, I don’t think there is anybody who has hemorrhagic E. coli colonizing them and doesn’t know about it. So I wasn’t too concerned about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe this sounds crazy, but there is a certain amount of trust that you want to be able to place in humanity or other people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The donor was also your \u003cem>friend\u003c/em>. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Totally. It was kind of symbolic in that way. If I can’t trust this person, then we’re all screwed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You said you want this kind of experiment to be accessible to people. Is that because you want people to be able to understand it easily, or do you see this as a prototype?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kind of a prototype, but you have to understand, I don’t recommend this to people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The position I’m in right now is really strange where I’ve become this “biohacker” figure. I get contacted by a ton of people all the time, and a lot of those are people with medical issues. And they have no treatment, no cure, and they’re just looking for help. They’re looking for some way they can treat themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. unfortunately has decided to not allow doctors to prescribe feces to people for any disease other than Clostridium difficile infections that haven’t been able to be treated with antibiotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To me, that’s kind of disturbing. And the fact that people have the opportunity to seek treatment themselves, I think, is empowering. So what I really wanted to do was say, “Hey look, I tried to do something in a very scientific way. And I’m not saying it works, I’m not saying it’ll work for you or your disease or cure your ailments at all. But maybe you can also try to take your health into your own hands. Maybe if there’s no hope from the medical community, no hope for cures, you can perhaps figure out something on your own — through experimentation, through reading scientific papers — and help yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The podcasters at \u003cem>The Verge \u003c/em>had some pretty harsh words for you. What did you think about that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know, I understand from a professional point of view what they were trying to do. But some of the stuff they said just cracked me up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They said that what I was doing was stupid — which is hilarious when you’re talking about a person who is suffering from something. It’s like, “Hey, you’re suffering from some problem and I think you trying to help yourself is the stupidest thing you could do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They don’t know what it’s like when you have to go to the bathroom five times in an hour and\u003cb> \u003c/b>blood is spewing out of your butt and you’re in terrible pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People always bring up this issue about whether what I did was “scientific” or not. That critique is very dogmatic about the way that science is or should be done. What’s important about what I did was whether it works or not, right? I mean, if this actually worked, why wouldn’t people be interested? And look, I’m not trying to publish any of this, I’m not trying to have it peer-reviewed in any normal terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But you would like it if people took a look at what you did and said, ‘Maybe there’s something here.’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, but I think they know there is. There are clinics oversees, in the UK and other places that actually will give fecal transplants to people suffering from gastrointestinal illness. It’s something interesting that in the U.S. isn’t allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>We reached out to a handful of microbiome researchers for their thoughts on Zayner’s experiment.

Future of You first met the mid-30s, erstwhile NASA Ames bio-researcher, upon the launch of his business, providing \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/2016/02/22/gene-editing-coming-to-a-kitchen-counter-near-you/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in-home CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing kits\u003c/a> to the public. That was\u003ca href=\"https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/the-odin-diy-crispr-kit/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> controversial\u003c/a> enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then last May, Zayner, who has suffered from ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and frequent diarrhea that have not responded well to conventional treatments, decided to take matters into his own hands — or guts — in an attempt to replace his microbiome and mitigate his bad GI problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bacteria are “almost an extension of you that can be helpful or harmful,” Zayner says. “It’s like this moving cloud that comes with you wherever you go. We and bacteria are like one organism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watch the video and you’ll see him replacing part of that organism by taking antibiotics to eradicate his own bacteria, then ingesting the feces of a friend (“\u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Yolo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yolo\u003c/a>,” he says at the moment of truth, the biohacker equivalent of “Down the hatch.”) He also swabbed his body and mouth with a saline solution containing the donor’s bacteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/2015/06/15/in-future-fecal-transplants-the-tool-wont-be-stool/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fecal transplants\u003c/a> are now an accepted therapy for a certain type of infection. The thing is, Zayner didn’t bother to test his donor’s sample. That puts him at risk, as the documentary warns, for “\u003cspan class=\"s1\">transference of parasites and pathogens, and even blood-borne illnesses like hepatitis.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“S\u003cspan class=\"s1\">ometimes there’s this thin line, you know, between being crazy and being knowledgeable,” Zayner admits. “And I can’t tell.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The Verge covered the experiment at the time. Writer Arielle Duhaime-Ross thought the process was less than scientifically rigid:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">I couldn’t help but notice Zayner cutting corners. After drying off, he put on a brand-new Hanes white T-shirt to prevent his old microbiome from recolonizing his body, but an old — though freshly laundered — pair of jeans. He sampled his arms, nose, and mouth, but he didn’t bother to take microbial samples from his genitalia, and didn’t plan on applying Michael’s skin bacteria to his penis or testicles. He told me that there just isn’t much scientific value in gathering that information. Over the course of his experiment, Zayner would only take a third of the poop pills that someone undergoing a standard FMT [Fecal Microbiota Transplantation\u003cem>] \u003c/em>procedure would, stretched over a longer period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Says a podcaster from The Verge: “T\u003cspan class=\"s1\">his guy is doing something that is legitimately dangerous and probably kind of stupid.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The experiment, according to Zayner, as well as genetic sequencing from an independent lab, was at least a partial success. (But need we say it: Don’t try this at home.)\u003ca id=\"interview\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that about a year has passed, we wanted to catch up with Zayner to see how he’s feeling about his health, the procedure and his critics. The following has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In the video, that did not look too fun.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah. The original plan wasn’t to have people document it. I was going to document it myself. But other people got involved, including a reporter and the people who made the documentary. So in the hotel room there’s like four other people that you can’t see who are badgering me with questions, taking pictures, and I’m just like ‘Oh my gosh, I just feel sick. Can’t you people leave me alone?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How are you feeling now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was really amazed by the results. There’s been no blood in my stool since the transplant, which just kind of blows me away; prior to the transplant it had been multiple times a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While the transfer of the gut microbes seemed to be successful , the bacteria in your skin and nasal passages were unchanged. Why do you think that is? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think I was recolonized by my own bacteria when I got back home to my own apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you noticed any personality or mood changes? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked people close to me to say if they saw any changes. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything aside from an addiction-level sugar craving. I’ve never encountered a craving like this. At first I didn’t fight against it. I’d go to the grocery store and find myself buying 50 candy bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does your donor friend have a sweet-tooth? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked him if he had sugar cravings, too, and he said, “I could eat a box of Oreos in one sitting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have any microbiome researchers reached out to you? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A ton, but none of them want me to mention their name or talk about them publicly — people from MIT, UCLA, Harvard, University of Chicago, UC Irvine, UC Davis, the FDA. They might be a little bit critical, but they’re mostly interested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you heard of other people trying this? Is that a concern, or even a hope of yours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a little bit of a concern, because what I did was pretty drastic. I wasn’t just trying to do a fecal transplant. I was trying to do a whole-body microbiome transplant.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You weren’t just trying to supplement, you were trying to wipe out and replace… \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people focused just on the fecal transplant. And that was the thing that provided the greatest benefit to me and worked. But I was also trying as hard as I could to wipe out all of the bacteria on my body and in my body, which — most people thought I would either die or end up hospitalized, which is crazy. That didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But were you worried about safety?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based upon my planning, I thought the chances of something bad happening\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>were pretty small. But when you have a lot of people around…mostly the people who were documenting it were really worried about a lot of things. Their attitude rubbed off on me and I got more and more worried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The donor’s samples — why didn’t you have those tested for things that could be dangerous?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really thought about that. A part of it might have been foolhardy, but part of me was like the whole purpose of this experiment was to create an idea of how somebody could do something like this. A lot of people don’t have access to getting donors tested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought the process I went through was pretty stringent. If you go to \u003ca href=\"http://www.openbiome.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OpenBiome\u003c/a>, the website that takes fecal transplants from people and they freeze them to give to people, they have a questionnaire you can fill out to see if you qualify as a donor. It’s pretty extensive and it’s something I mimicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The major things that you’re probably worried about are more blood-borne diseases and illnesses. People always say you should be afraid of feces because of hemorrhagic E. coli. Honestly, I don’t think there is anybody who has hemorrhagic E. coli colonizing them and doesn’t know about it. So I wasn’t too concerned about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe this sounds crazy, but there is a certain amount of trust that you want to be able to place in humanity or other people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The donor was also your \u003cem>friend\u003c/em>. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Totally. It was kind of symbolic in that way. If I can’t trust this person, then we’re all screwed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You said you want this kind of experiment to be accessible to people. Is that because you want people to be able to understand it easily, or do you see this as a prototype?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kind of a prototype, but you have to understand, I don’t recommend this to people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The position I’m in right now is really strange where I’ve become this “biohacker” figure. I get contacted by a ton of people all the time, and a lot of those are people with medical issues. And they have no treatment, no cure, and they’re just looking for help. They’re looking for some way they can treat themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. unfortunately has decided to not allow doctors to prescribe feces to people for any disease other than Clostridium difficile infections that haven’t been able to be treated with antibiotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To me, that’s kind of disturbing. And the fact that people have the opportunity to seek treatment themselves, I think, is empowering. So what I really wanted to do was say, “Hey look, I tried to do something in a very scientific way. And I’m not saying it works, I’m not saying it’ll work for you or your disease or cure your ailments at all. But maybe you can also try to take your health into your own hands. Maybe if there’s no hope from the medical community, no hope for cures, you can perhaps figure out something on your own — through experimentation, through reading scientific papers — and help yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The podcasters at \u003cem>The Verge \u003c/em>had some pretty harsh words for you. What did you think about that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know, I understand from a professional point of view what they were trying to do. But some of the stuff they said just cracked me up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They said that what I was doing was stupid — which is hilarious when you’re talking about a person who is suffering from something. It’s like, “Hey, you’re suffering from some problem and I think you trying to help yourself is the stupidest thing you could do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They don’t know what it’s like when you have to go to the bathroom five times in an hour and\u003cb> \u003c/b>blood is spewing out of your butt and you’re in terrible pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People always bring up this issue about whether what I did was “scientific” or not. That critique is very dogmatic about the way that science is or should be done. What’s important about what I did was whether it works or not, right? I mean, if this actually worked, why wouldn’t people be interested? And look, I’m not trying to publish any of this, I’m not trying to have it peer-reviewed in any normal terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But you would like it if people took a look at what you did and said, ‘Maybe there’s something here.’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, but I think they know there is. There are clinics oversees, in the UK and other places that actually will give fecal transplants to people suffering from gastrointestinal illness. It’s something interesting that in the U.S. isn’t allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>We reached out to a handful of microbiome researchers for their thoughts on Zayner’s experiment. One, Owen White from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I had a molecular biology background and was suffering from problems like Josiah, I would find it irresistible not to want to at least try some type of intervention on myself,” wrote White in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(T)here is something inherently deserving about exerting your own agency over things that you cannot ordinarily control,” White said. “That being said, I strongly agree with all the criticisms that were shown in the video.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With 60 percent solar coverage on the roof, the system would generate $38,100 worth of energy over 30 years, according to the estimate, leaving the homeowner with a net cost of $1,400. Depending on the local energy market, a similar home in another area could generate a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"infinity\" warranty covers the glass in the tiles, Tesla says. The company offers a 30-year warranty for other aspects of the system, such as the tiles' power output and the system's ability to prevent leaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price per square foot varies with the proportion of solar and nonsolar tiles. Tesla says active tiles will cost $42 per square foot, while inert tiles will be around $11 per square foot. The active tiles have three main layers, with a base solar cell beneath a colored louver film that's covered by tempered glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A standard solar panel setup could cost about 30 percent less than the Tesla system, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-10/tesla-s-solar-roof-is-finally-ready-for-you-to-buy\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a>.

With 60 percent solar coverage on the roof, the system would generate $38,100 worth of energy over 30 years, according to the estimate, leaving the homeowner with a net cost of $1,400. Depending on the local energy market, a similar home in another area could generate a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"infinity\" warranty covers the glass in the tiles, Tesla says. The company offers a 30-year warranty for other aspects of the system, such as the tiles' power output and the system's ability to prevent leaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price per square foot varies with the proportion of solar and nonsolar tiles. Tesla says active tiles will cost $42 per square foot, while inert tiles will be around $11 per square foot. The active tiles have three main layers, with a base solar cell beneath a colored louver film that's covered by tempered glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A standard solar panel setup could cost about 30 percent less than the Tesla system, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-10/tesla-s-solar-roof-is-finally-ready-for-you-to-buy\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a>.

"headTitle": "German Publishers’ Lawsuit Against Google Threatens to Backfire | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>This was not exactly the decision VG Media had hoped for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collective of German publishers had sued Google, arguing that the tech giant has infringed on copyright protections by offering snippets of the publishers’ articles in search results. Those snippets, according to VG Media, hurt the publishers’ bottom line by sating potential readers’ curiosity and violated a 2013 German law that requires compensation for those snippets of text.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet on Tuesday a Berlin court raised some concerns with the law itself often known in English as the Ancillary Copyright for Press Publishers. The judge questioned whether Germany had properly notified the European Commission — the executive arm of the European Union — before enacting the regulation, suspending the case until the Court of Justice of the European Union could weigh in on whether the law is even valid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue hinges on \u003ca href=\"http://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/tris/en/about-the-20151535/the-notification-procedure-in-brief1/\">an EU directive\u003c/a> that requires member countries such as Germany to alert the organization about “any draft technical regulation prior to its adoption.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Handelsblatt Global, a German business publication, \u003ca href=\"https://global.handelsblatt.com/companies-markets/berlin-court-may-upend-german-copyright-law-700581\">explains why\u003c/a> Germany decided not to notify the EU about the draft of this law:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“While typically a formality, notification reviews of national laws by Brussels can take up to two years or more. In 2013, Germany did not submit the copyright law for notification, citing a Justice Ministry argument that the law’s scope was so limited, it didn’t fall under the E.U.’s notification requirement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The court proved skeptical about this reasoning, though its ruling did note that the publishers complaint is at least partially justified — without offering further explanation on this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any rate, Google applauded the decision, saying that it demonstrated the failings of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today’s decision in Berlin highlights that there are still many contradictions and unanswered questions in the law of ancillary copyright for publishers,” Google said in a statement \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcworld.com/article/3195443/internet/google-case-raises-doubts-about-german-news-copyright-law.html\">quoted by PCWorld\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve said many times that we don’t want to fight legal battles with publishers,” the statement continues. “We’d much rather work with them to drive traffic to their websites and apps, promote their brands, and support online journalism — and that’s what we’ll continue to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nieman Lab \u003ca href=\"http://www.niemanlab.org/2014/12/the-fight-to-get-google-to-pay-for-news-continues-in-europe/\">reported in 2014\u003c/a> that the law has had something of a rocky life in practice:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“The law went into effect last August and, while some details still need to be ironed out in court, the controversial heart of it — whether search engines will pay money to publishers — has an uncertain future. Google has refused to pay fees to publish snippets from news sites, and instead \u003ca href=\"http://www.zdnet.com/google-news-now-opt-in-in-germany-as-copyright-law-gets-an-overhaul-7000017193/\">asked German publishers last year to opt in if they want to be included in Google News search results\u003c/a>, waiving their right to cash in on the use of their content according to the new law.

Those snippets, according to VG Media, hurt the publishers’ bottom line by sating potential readers’ curiosity and violated a 2013 German law that requires compensation for those snippets of text.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet on Tuesday a Berlin court raised some concerns with the law itself often known in English as the Ancillary Copyright for Press Publishers. The judge questioned whether Germany had properly notified the European Commission — the executive arm of the European Union — before enacting the regulation, suspending the case until the Court of Justice of the European Union could weigh in on whether the law is even valid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue hinges on \u003ca href=\"http://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/tris/en/about-the-20151535/the-notification-procedure-in-brief1/\">an EU directive\u003c/a> that requires member countries such as Germany to alert the organization about “any draft technical regulation prior to its adoption.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Handelsblatt Global, a German business publication, \u003ca href=\"https://global.handelsblatt.com/companies-markets/berlin-court-may-upend-german-copyright-law-700581\">explains why\u003c/a> Germany decided not to notify the EU about the draft of this law:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“While typically a formality, notification reviews of national laws by Brussels can take up to two years or more. In 2013, Germany did not submit the copyright law for notification, citing a Justice Ministry argument that the law’s scope was so limited, it didn’t fall under the E.U.’s notification requirement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The court proved skeptical about this reasoning, though its ruling did note that the publishers complaint is at least partially justified — without offering further explanation on this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
