DOE v. GitHub: Plaintiffs Seek Declaratory Relief Against All Defendants

DOE vs. Github (amended complaint) Court Filing (Redacted), June 8, 2023 is part of . You can jump to any part in this filing . This is part 30 of 38. HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series here VIII. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF COUNT 2 BREACH OF CONTRACT—OPEN-SOURCE LICENSE VIOLATIONS Common Law (Against All Defendants) 214. Plaintiffs and the Class hereby repeat and incorporate by reference each preceding and succeeding paragraph as though fully set forth herein. 215. Plaintiffs and the Class offer code under various Licenses, the most common of which are set forth in Appendix A. Use of each of the Licensed Materials is allowed only pursuant to the terms of the applicable Suggested License. 216. Plaintiffs and the Class granted Defendants a license to copy, distribute, and/or create Derivative Works under the Suggested Licenses. Each of the Suggested Licenses requires at least (1) that attribution be given to the owner of the Licensed Materials used, (2) inclusion of a copyright notice for the Licensed Materials used, and (3) inclusion of the terms of the applicable Suggested License. When providing Output, Copilot does not comply with any of these terms. 217. Defendants accepted the terms of Plaintiffs’ and the Class’s Licenses when it used the licensed code to create Copilot and when it incorporated the licensed code into Copilot. They have accepted and continue to accept the applicable Licenses every time Copilot Output’s Plaintiffs’ or the Class’s copyrighted code. As such, contracts have been formed between Defendants on the one hand and Plaintiffs and the Class on the other. 218. Plaintiffs and the Class have performed each of the conditions, covenants, and obligations imposed on them by the terms of the License associated with their Licensed Materials. 219. Plaintiffs and members of the Class hold the copyright in the contents of one or more code repositories that have been hosted on GitHub’s platform. 220. Plaintiffs and the Class have appended one of the Suggested Licenses to each of the Licensed Materials. 221. Plaintiffs and the Class did not know about, authorize, approve, or license the Defendants’ use of the Licensed Materials in the matter at issue in this Complaint before they were used by Defendants. 222. Defendants have substantially and materially breached the applicable Licenses by failing to provide the source code of Copilot nor a written offer to provide the source code upon the request of each licensee. 223. Defendants have substantially and materially breached the applicable Licenses by failing to provide attribution to the creator and/or owner of the Licensed Materials. 224. Defendants have substantially and materially breached the applicable Licenses by failing to include copyright notices when Copilot Outputs copyrighted OS code. 225. Defendants have substantially and materially breached the applicable Licenses by failing to identify the License applicable to the Work and/or including its text when Copilot Outputs code including a portion of a Work. 226. Plaintiffs and the Class have suffered monetary damages as a result of Defendants’ conduct. 227. The conduct of Defendants is causing and, unless enjoined and restrained by this Court, will continue to cause Plaintiffs and the Class great and irreparable injury that cannot fully be compensated or measured in money. 228. As a direct and proximate result of these material breaches by Defendants, Plaintiffs and the Class are entitled to an injunction requiring Defendants to comply with all the terms of any License governing use of code that was used to train Copilot, otherwise incorporated into Copilot, and/or reproduced as Output by Copilot. 229. Plaintiffs and the Class are further entitled to recover from Defendants the damages Plaintiffs and the Class sustained—including consequential damages—for Plaintiffs’ and the Class’s costs in enforcing their contractual rights. Plaintiffs and the Class are also entitled to recover as restitution from Defendants for any unjust enrichment, including gains, profits, and advantages that Defendants have obtained as a result of their breach of contract.

DOE vs. GitHub: What Were the Claims for Relief?

DOE vs. Github (amended complaint) Court Filing (Redacted), June 8, 2023, is part of . You can jump to any part in this filing . This is part 29 of 38. HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series here VIII. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF COUNT 1 VIOLATION OF THE DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT 17 U.S.C. §§ 1201–1205 (Direct, Vicarious, and Contributory) (Against All Defendants) 183. Plaintiffs and the Class hereby repeat and incorporate by reference each preceding and succeeding paragraph as though fully set forth herein. 184. As described herein, Defendants have intentionally removed or altered CMI from Plaintiffs’ code in violation of Section 1202(b)(1) of the DMCA. 185. As described herein, Defendants have distributed copies of Plaintiffs’ code knowing that CMI has been removed or altered while knowing or having reasonable grounds to know that it will induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal infringement in violation of Section 1202(b)(3) of the DMCA. 186. Plaintiffs and members of the Class own the copyrights to Licensed Materials used to train Codex and Copilot. Copilot was trained on millions—possibly billions—of lines of code publicly available on GitHub. Copilot runs on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform exclusively and Microsoft had input in the creation of Copilot. Microsoft is aware that Copilot ignores License Terms and that it was trained almost exclusively on Licensed Materials. 187. Plaintiffs and members of the Class included the following Copyright Management Information (as defined in Section 1202(c) of the DMCA) (“CMI”) in the Licensed Materials: a. copyright notices; b. the title and other information identifying the Licensed Materials; c. the name of, and other identifying information about, the authors of the Licensed Materials; d. the name of, and other identifying information about, the copyright owners of the Licensed Materials; e. terms and conditions for use of the Licensed Materials, specifically the Suggested Licenses; and f. identifying numbers or symbols referring to CMI or links to CMI. 188. Defendants did not contact Plaintiffs and the Class to obtain authority to remove or alter CMI from the Licensed Materials within the meaning of the DMCA. 189. Defendants knew that they did not contact Plaintiffs and the Class to obtain authority to remove or alter CMI from the Licensed Materials within the meaning of the DMCA. 190. As part of the scheme, Defendants did not attempt to contact Plaintiffs to obtain authority to remove or alter CMI from the Licensed Materials within the meaning of the DMCA. In fact, Defendants’ removal of CMI made it difficult or impossible to contact Plaintiffs and the Class to obtain authority to remove or alter CMI from the Licensed Materials within the meaning of the DMCA. Rather, Defendants removed or altered CMI from open-source code that is owned by Plaintiffs and the Class after the code was uploaded to a GitHub repository by incorporating it into Copilot with its CMI removed. 191. Without the authority of Plaintiffs and the Class, Defendants intentionally removed or altered CMI from the Licensed Materials after they were uploaded to one or more GitHub repositories. 192. Defendants had access to but were not licensed by Plaintiffs nor the Class to train any machine learning, AI, or other pseudo-intelligent computer program, algorithm, or other functional prediction engine using the Licensed Materials. 193. Defendants had access to but were not licensed by Plaintiffs nor the Class to incorporate the Licensed Materials into Copilot. 194. Defendants had access to but were not licensed by Plaintiffs nor the Class to create Derivative Works[34] based upon the Licensed Materials. 195. Defendants had access to but were not licensed by Plaintiffs nor the Class to distribute the Licensed Materials as they do through Copilot. 196. Without the authority of Plaintiffs and the Class, Defendants distributed CMI knowing that the CMI had been removed or altered without authority of the copyright owner or the law with respect to the Licensed Materials. 197. Defendants distributed copies of the Licensed Materials knowing and intending that CMI had been removed or altered without authority of the copyright owner or the law, with respect to the Licensed Materials. 198. Defendants removed or altered CMI from the Licensed Materials knowing and intending that it would induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal infringement of copyright. 199. Without the CMI associated with the Licensed Materials, Copilot users are induced or enabled to copy the Licensed Materials. Because CMI has been removed, Copilot users do not know whether Output is owned by someone else and subject to restrictions on use. Without the CMI, copyright infringement is facilitated or concealed, because Plaintiffs and the Class are prevented from knowing or learning that the Output is based upon one or more of the Licensed Materials. Use of the Licensed Materials is not infringement when the terms of the applicable Suggested License are followed. Had the CMI not been removed, Copilot users would be aware of the Licenses and their obligations under them. The terms of the applicable Suggested License would have allowed those users to use the Licensed Materials without infringement. By withholding and concealing license information and other CMI, Defendants prevented Copilot users from making non-infringing use of the Licensed Materials. This contradicts the express wishes of Plaintiffs and the Class, which are set forth explicitly in the Suggested Licenses under which the Licensed Materials are offered. 200. Defendants removed or altered CMI from Licensed Materials owned by Plaintiffs and the Class while possessing reasonable grounds to know that it would induce, enable, facilitate, and/or conceal infringement of copyright in violation of Sections 1202(b)(1) and 1202(b)(3) of the DMCA. 201. By omitting, altering and/or concealing CMI from Copilot’s Output, Defendants have reasonable grounds to know that innocent infringers are induced or enabled to copy the Licensed Materials, because CMI has been removed. Without the CMI, Defendants have reasonable grounds to know copyright infringement is facilitated or concealed, because Plaintiffs and the Class have the difficult or impossible task of proving the Licensed Materials belong to them. 202. The profits attributable to Defendants’ violation of the DMCA include the revenue from: Copilot subscription fees, sales of or subscriptions to Defendants’ Copilot-related products and/or services that are used to run Copilot, hosting Copilot on Azure, and any other of Defendants’ products that contain copies of the Licensed Materials without all the original CMI. The Licensed Materials add nearly all value to the Copilot product because the purpose of Copilot is to provide code and the source of that code is the Licensed Materials. Without the Licensed Materials, Copilot would not be functional. 203. On information and belief, Defendants could have trained Copilot to include attribution, copyright notices, and license terms when it provides Output covered by a License. 204. Defendants did not request or obtain permission from Plaintiffs and the Class to use the Licensed Materials for Defendants’ Copilot product. 205. Defendants use of the Licensed Materials does not follow the requirements of the Suggested Licenses associated with the Licensed Materials. In particular, Copilot fails to provide attribution for the creator nor the owner of the Work. Copilot fails to include the required copyright notice included in the License. Copilot fails to include the applicable Suggested License’s text. 206. Defendants are sophisticated with respect to intellectual property matters related to open-source code. Microsoft in particular has extensive experience granting licenses, obtaining licenses, and enforcing license terms. Its most recent Annual Report states: We are a leader among technology companies in pursuing patents and currently have a portfolio of over 69,000 U.S. and international patents issued and over 19,000 pending worldwide. While we employ much of our internally-developed intellectual property exclusively in our products and services, we also engage in outbound licensing of specific patented technologies that are incorporated into licensees’ products. From time to time, we enter into broader cross-license agreements with other technology companies covering entire groups of patents. We may also purchase or license technology that we incorporate into our products and services. At times, we make select intellectual property broadly available at no or low cost to achieve a strategic objective, such as promoting industry standards, advancing interoperability, supporting societal and/or environmental efforts, or attracting and enabling our external development community. We protect our intellectual property investments in a variety of ways. We work actively in the U.S. and internationally to ensure the enforcement of copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other protections that apply to our software and hardware products, services, business plans, and branding. Our increasing engagement with open source software will also cause us to license our intellectual property rights broadly in certain situations. Microsoft Corporation Annual Report, Form 10-K at 27 ( July 28, 2022) (emphasis added).[35] 207. GitHub, which offers the Copilot product jointly with OpenAI, also has extensive experience with the DMCA. GitHub knows or reasonably should know that the Licensed Materials it hosts are subject to copyright. It provides the language of the Suggested Licenses to users, all of which include copyright notices. Its 2022 Transparency Report—January to June[36] states: “Copyright-related takedowns (which we often refer to as DMCA takedowns) are particularly relevant to GitHub because so much of our users’ content is software code and can be eligible for copyright protection.”[37] In the first six months of 2022, GitHub processed 1220 DMCA takedown requests. Its DMCA Takedown Policy[38] notes “GitHub probably never would have existed without the DMCA.” 208. GitHub also knows or reasonably should know the portions of the DMCA giving rise to Plaintiffs’ claim. In its 2021 Transparency Report, “Before removing content based on alleged circumvention of copyright controls (under Section 1201 of the US DMCA or similar laws in other countries), we carefully review both the legal and technical claims, and we sponsor a Developer Defense Fund to provide developers with meaningful access to legal resources.”[39] 209. GitHub is aware that Copilot’s removal of CMI is illegal. For example, it states that “publishing or sharing tools that enable circumvention are not [permitted]”[40] and “Distributing tools that enable circumvention is prohibited, even if their use by developers falls under the exemption [for security research].”[41] GitHub has also frequently published articles discussing the DMCA, its application, and the Copyright Office’s guidance on its scope and exceptions.[42] 210. Unless Defendants are enjoined from violating the DMCA, Plaintiffs and the Class will suffer great and irreparable harm by depriving them of the right to identify and control the reproduction and/or distribution of their copyrighted works, to have the terms of their opensource licenses followed, and to pursue copyright-infringement remedies. Defendants will not be damaged if they are required to comply with the DMCA. Plaintiffs and the Class are therefore entitled to an injunction barring Defendants from violating the DMCA and impounding any device or product that is in the custody or control of Defendants and that the court has reasonable cause to believe was involved in a violation of the DMCA. 211. Plaintiffs and the Class are further entitled to recover from Defendants the actual or statutory damages Plaintiffs and the Class sustained pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 1203(c) and for Plaintiffs’ and the Class’s costs and attorneys’ fees in enforcing the Licenses. Plaintiffs and the Class are also entitled to recover as restitution from Defendants for any unjust enrichment, including gains, profits, and advantages that Defendants have obtained as a result of their breach of the Licenses. 212. Defendants conspired together and acted jointly and in concert pursuant to their scheme to commit the acts that violated the DMCA alleged herein. 213. Defendants induced Copilot users to unknowingly violate the DMCA by withholding attribution, licensing, and other information as described herein Continue Reading .

CLASS ALLEGATIONS A. Class Definitions 38. Plaintiffs bring this action for damages and injunctive relief on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated as a class action pursuant to Rules 23(a), 23(b)(2), and 23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, on behalf of the following Classes: “Injunctive Relief Class” under Rule 23(b)(2): All persons or entities domiciled in the United States that, (1) owned an interest in at least one US copyright in any work; (2) offered that work under one of GitHub’s Suggested Licenses[4] ; and (3) stored Licensed Materials in any public GitHub repositories at any time between January 1, 2015 and the present (the “Class Period”). “Damages Class” under Rule 23(b)(3): All persons or entities domiciled in the United States that, (1) owned an interest in at least one US copyright in any work; (2) offered that work under one of GitHub’s Suggested Licenses; and (3) stored Licensed Materials in any public GitHub repositories at any time during the Class Period. These “Class Definitions” specifically exclude the following person or entities: a. Any of the Defendants named herein; b. Any of the Defendants’ co-conspirators; c. Any of Defendants’ parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates; d. Any of Defendants’ officers, directors, management, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents; e. All governmental entities; and f. The judges and chambers staff in this case, as well as any members of their immediate families. [4] When a GitHub user creates a new repository, they have the option of selecting one of thirteen licenses from a dropdown menu to apply to the contents of that repository. (They can also apply a different license later, or no license.) The Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal and the Unlicense donate the covered work to the public domain and/or otherwise waive all copyrights and related rights. Because they do not contain the necessary provisions nor do they even allow the owner to make copyright claims in most circumstances, they are not included in the Class Definition. We refer to the remaining eleven options as the “Suggested Licenses,” which are: (1) Apache License 2.0 (“Apache 2.0”); (2) GNU General Public License version 3 (“GPL-3.0”); (3) MIT License (“MIT”); (4) The 2-Clause BSD License (“BSD 2”); (5) The 3-Clause BSD License (“BSD 3”); (6) Boost Software License (“BSL-1.0”); (7) Eclipse Public License 2.0 (“EPL-2.0”); (8) GNU Affero General Public License version 3 (“AGPL-3.0”); (9) GNU General Public License version 2 (“GPL-2.0”); (10) GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 (“LGPL-2.1”); and (11) Mozilla Public License 2.0 (“MPL-2.0”). These Suggested Licenses each contain at least three common requirements for use of the Licensed Materials in a derivative work or copy: attribution to the owner of the Licensed Materials (“Attribution”), inclusion of a copyright notice (“Copyright Notice”), and inclusion of the applicable Suggested License’s text (“License Terms”).

Copyright Infringement and Inductive Relief 

The Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha Christie, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . Chapter XVII CHAPTER XVII (Extract from the diary of Sir Eustace Pedler) Mount Nelson Hotel,Cape Town. It is really the greatest relief to get off the Kilmorden. The whole time that I was on board I was conscious of being surrounded by a network of intrigue. To put the lid on everything, Guy Pagett must needs engage in a drunken brawl the last night. It is all very well to explain it away, but that is what it actually amounts to. What else would you think if a man comes to you with a lump the size of an egg on the side of his head and an eye coloured all the tints of the rainbow? Of course Pagett would insist on trying to be mysterious about the whole thing. According to him, you would think his black eye was the direct result of his devotion to my interests. His story was extraordinarily vague and rambling, and it was a long time before I could make head or tail of it. To begin with, it appears he caught sight of a man behaving suspiciously. Those are Pagett’s words. He has taken them straight from the pages of a German Spy Story. What he means by a man behaving suspiciously he doesn’t know himself. I said so to him. “He was slinking along in a very furtive manner, and it was the middle of the night, Sir Eustace.” “Well, what were you doing yourself? Why weren’t you in bed and asleep like a good Christian?” I demanded irritably. “I had been coding those cables of yours, Sir Eustace, and typing the diary up to date.” Trust Pagett to be always in the right and a martyr over it! “Well?” “I just thought I would have a look around before turning in, Sir Eustace. The man was coming down the passage from your cabin. I thought at once there was something wrong by the way he looked about him. He slunk up the stairs by the saloon. I followed him. “My dear Pagett,” I said, “why shouldn’t the poor chap go on deck without having his footsteps dogged? Lots of people even sleep on deck—very uncomfortable, I’ve always thought. The sailors wash you down with the rest of the deck at five in the morning.” I shuddered at the idea. “Anyway,” I continued, “if you went worrying some poor devil who was suffering from insomnia, I don’t wonder he landed you one.” Pagett looked patient. “If you would hear me out, Sir Eustace. I was convinced the man had been prowling about near your cabin where he had no business to be. The only two cabins down that passage are yours and Colonel Race’s.” “Race,” I said, lighting a cigar carefully, “can look after himself without your assistance, Pagett.” I added as an afterthought: “So can I.” Pagett came nearer and breathed heavily as he always does before imparting a secret. “You see, Sir Eustace, I fancied—and now indeed I am sure—it was Rayburn.” “Rayburn?” “Yes, Sir Eustace.” I shook my head. “Rayburn has far too much sense to attempt to wake me up in the middle of the night.” “Quite so, Sir Eustace. I think it was Colonel Race he went to see. A secret meeting—for orders!” “Don’t hiss at me, Pagett,” I said, drawing back a little, “and do control your breathing. Your idea is absurd. Why should they want to have a secret meeting in the middle of the night? If they’d anything to say to each other, they could hob-nob over beef-tea in a perfectly casual and natural manner.” I could see that Pagett was not in the least convinced. “Something was going on last night, Sir Eustace,” he urged, “or why should Rayburn assault me so brutally.” “You’re quite sure it was Rayburn?” Pagett appeared to be perfectly convinced of that. It was the only part of the story that he wasn’t vague about. “There’s something very queer about all this,” he said. “To begin with, where is Rayburn?” It’s perfectly true that we haven’t seen the fellow since we came on shore. He did not come up to the hotel with us. I decline to believe that he is afraid of Pagett, however. Altogether the whole thing is very annoying. One of my secretaries has vanished into the blue, and the other looks like a disreputable prize-fighter. I can’t take him about with me in his present condition. I shall be the laughing-stock of Cape Town. I have an appointment later in the day to deliver old Milray’s billet-doux, but I shall not take Pagett with me. Confound the fellow and his prowling ways. Altogether I am decidedly out of temper. I had poisonous breakfast with poisonous people. Dutch waitresses with thick ankles who took half an hour to bring me a bad bit of fish. And this farce of getting up at 5 a.m. on arrival at the port to see a blinking doctor and hold your hands above your head simply makes me tired. Later. A very serious thing has occurred. I went to my appointment with the Prime Minister, taking Milray’s sealed letter. It didn’t look as though it had been tampered with, but inside was a blank sheet of paper! Now, I suppose, I’m in the devil of a mess. Why I ever let that bleating old fool Milray embroil me in the matter I can’t think. Pagett is a famous Job’s comforter. He displays a certain gloomy satisfaction that maddens me. Also, he has taken advantage of my perturbation to saddle me with the stationery trunk. Unless he is careful, the next funeral he attends will be his own. However, in the end I had to listen to him. “Supposing, Sir Eustace, that Rayburn had overheard a word or two of your conversation with Mr. Milray in the street? Remember, you had no written authority from Mr. Milray. You accepted Rayburn on his own valuation.” “You think Rayburn is a crook, then?” I said slowly. Pagett did. How far his views were influenced by resentment over his black eye I don’t know. He made out a pretty fair case against Rayburn. And the appearance of the latter told against him. My idea was to do nothing in the matter. A man who has permitted himself to be made a thorough fool of is not anxious to broadcast the fact. But Pagett, his energy unimpaired by his recent misfortunes, was all for vigorous measures. He had his way of course. He bustled out to the police station, sent innumerable cables, and brought a herd of English and Dutch officials to drink whiskies and sodas at my expense. We got Milray’s answer that evening. He knew nothing of my late secretary! There was only one spot of comfort to be extracted from the situation. “At any rate,” I said to Pagett, “you weren’t poisoned. You had one of your ordinary bilious attacks.” I saw him wince. It was my only score. Later. Pagett is in his element. His brain positively scintillates with bright ideas. He will have it now that Rayburn is none other than the famous “Man in the Brown Suit.” I dare say he is right. He usually is. But all this is getting unpleasant. The sooner I get off to Rhodesia the better. I have explained to Pagett that he is not to accompany me. “You see, my dear fellow,” I said, “you must remain here on the spot. You might be required to identify Rayburn any minute. And, besides, I have my dignity as an English Member of Parliament to think of. I can’t go about with a secretary who has apparently recently been indulging in a vulgar street-brawl.” Pagett winced. He is such a respectable fellow that his appearance is pain and tribulation to him. “But what will you do about your correspondence and the notes for your speeches, Sir Eustace?” “I shall manage,” I said airily. “Your private car is to be attached to the eleven-o’clock train to-morrow, Wednesday, morning,” Pagett continued. “I have made all arrangements. Is Mrs. Blair taking a maid with her?” “Mrs. Blair?” I gasped. “She tells me you offered her a place.” So I did, now I come to think of it. On the night of the Fancy Dress ball. I even urged her to come. But I never thought she would! Delightful as she is, I do not know that I want Mrs. Blair’s society all the way to Rhodesia and back. Women require such a lot of attention. And they are confoundedly in the way sometimes. “Have I asked any one else?” I said nervously. One does these things in moments of expansion. “Mrs. Blair seemed to think you had asked Colonel Race as well.” I groaned. “I must have been very drunk if I asked Race. Very drunk indeed. Take my advice, Pagett, and let your black eye be a warning to you, don’t go on the bust again.” “As you know, I am a teetotaller, Sir Eustace.” “Much wiser to take the pledge if you have a weakness that way. I haven’t asked any one else, have I, Pagett?” “Not that I know of, Sir Eustace.” I heaved a sigh of relief. “There’s Miss Beddingfeld,” I said thoughtfully. “She wants to get to Rhodesia to dig up bones, I believe. I’ve a good mind to offer her a temporary job as a secretary. She can typewrite, I know, for she told me so.” To my surprise, Pagett opposed the idea vehemently. He does not like Anne Beddingfeld. Ever since the night of the black eye, he has displayed uncontrollable emotion whenever she is mentioned. Pagett is full of mysteries nowadays. Just to annoy him, I shall ask the girl. As I said before, she has extremely nice legs. About HackerNoon Book Series: We bring you the most important technical, scientific, and insightful public domain books.

The greatest relief to get off the Kilmorden

Global financial markets were already in turmoil and experiencing significant volatility when the began last spring. Major supply chains were still struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, and few industries were on stable ground. Even the crypto market, including the price of , was facing turbulence. war in Ukraine Bitcoin So, it’s no surprise that when Russia, one of the world’s leading superpowers, made its move against Ukraine, there would be economic repercussions. The past year has slowly revealed just how far-reaching those ripple effects have been. But the question that’s on everyone’s mind now is, “How much longer will the conflict last? And what impact will the end of hostilities have on the world economy, especially the price of Bitcoin?” In this article, we’ll take a look at how the price of Bitcoin has been affected by the war in Ukraine and examine some of the possible scenarios that lie ahead, including how they could potentially affect Bitcoin’s price. The War in Ukraine and Crypto At the , Bitcoin’s price experienced a sharp drop, falling from around $39,000 to nearly $34,000 over the course of a few days. This drop took place at the same time that Russian tanks were rolling over the Ukraine border. end of February 2022 Heightened geopolitical tensions led many investors to reconsider their strategy, moving funds from assets perceived as more volatile like Bitcoin into those which have a greater reputation for stability like gold or government bonds. However, this drop has not sustained itself over the past year. Instead, there’s been a great deal of fluctuation in Bitcoin’s price, much of it related to the evolving war in Ukraine. Throughout 2022, the crypto market as a whole and specifically remained . As the conflict escalated, the price of Bitcoin often dropped, just as it had at the start of the conflict. Political and economic uncertainty isn’t conducive to higher-risk investments. However, when the war cooled, and diplomatic efforts seemed to be making progress. Investor confidence increased and the price of Bitcoin rose. Bitcoin’s price sensitive to the events unfolding in Ukraine things changed for Bitcoin’s price A Sluggish Start for Bitcoin in 2023 Since early 2023, Bitcoin’s value . This has happened despite the cryptocurrency’s sometimes notorious volatility. Analysts have put forward several reasons for its sluggish performance: has grown slowly, but steadily . Continued geopolitical tensions The war in Ukraine has dragged on far longer than many were expecting when it first began. As it continues, uncertainty and fear will color global markets, motivating many investors to remain cautious about high-risk assets like Bitcoin. . Regulatory concerns The crypto market as a whole has seen increased visibility over the past several years, entering the mainstream like never before. As more eyes have looked to it, governments around the world , sometimes even banning certain activities outright. have begun eyeing stricter regulations Economic factors. The COVID-19 pandemic with inflation soaring, leading central banks around the world to tighten monetary policy. Concerns about an economic slowdown related to these events have put the brakes on Bitcoin’s price even further. left the world economy in shambles While these things are putting downward pressure on the price of Bitcoin, there is good reason to believe that relief is on the way. The war in Ukraine can’t last forever. When the conflict comes to a conclusion, some of the pressure that Bitcoin is facing will be eased. There’s every reason to think that this will result in Bitcoin’s price increasing. So, what will happen if the war in Ukraine comes to an end in 2023? What Happens to Bitcoin if the War in Ukraine Ends in 2023? If Ukraine and Russia are able to resolve their differences this year, we can expect an almost immediate rally in global markets, including across the crypto industry. With geopolitical tensions reduced, investors will feel more comfortable moving back into high-risk assets like Bitcoin. As a result, we could see a major surge in its price this year. As tensions ease, governments and central banks around the world will be able to focus more attention on addressing economic challenges. This could, in turn, further relieve the downward pressure that Bitcoin is currently feeling. In addition, investments in the future of the crypto sector will likely increase as the world gets back to business as usual. What Happens to Bitcoin if the War in Ukraine Ends in 2024? If the war in Ukraine extends through 2023 and into 2024, the price of Bitcoin will likely continue to be adversely affected. Heightened geopolitical tensions will leave most investors with a growing sense of uncertainty and risk aversion. This will inevitably limit Bitcoin’s growth in the near term. Furthermore, if the conflict continues, valuable resources that could have been used for blockchain and crypto innovation will be diverted toward other, more pressing needs. This will keep the industry from being able to make the progress that it could otherwise make. This, in turn, will keep that downward pressure on Bitcoin’s price. Looking Ahead What’s the connection between the war in Ukraine and crypto? The two are connected in a myriad of ways. And until the conflict is resolved, they will continue to have an impact on one another. The heightened geopolitical tension brought on by the war has influenced investor sentiment in far-reaching ways, making them less likely to invest in assets like crypto. If the war winds down over the course of the next twelve months, we will almost certainly see a rally in Bitcoin’s price and in innovations across the crypto sector. However, if it drags on as it has, the price of Bitcoin will almost certainly be impacted negatively. It is essential for savvy investors to remain vigilant and closely monitor developments as they come, as the end of the war in Ukraine will have a profound impact on the price of Bitcoin and the crypto industry at large.

Meanwhile, in the crypto market, Bitcoin has broken through the $30K resistance level, setting a new record high for this year. The last time Bitcoin traded at this level was in June 2022. BTC is proving to be among the best assets to have been invested in during 2023 in the crypto scene as many other digital assets have vastly underperformed BTC: Despite the drastic price appreciation since the beginning of the year, sentiment among investors remains moderately positive, which could be a signal that valuations are ready to march higher. Bitcoin's Correlation with Traditional Assets Weakens Noteworthy to observe, Bitcoin has been decoupling from traditional equities, and is now more closely correlated with the movements in gold prices. Although it is evident that these two assets represent opposite ends of the risk spectrum, the two assets also both represent antifragility, characteristics sought in a time when recession talks and the banking crisis is on everyone's lips.

A Sigh of Relief: CPI Cools Down as Bitcoin Soars Past $30K

Given the recent 13% rise in Ethereum - many altcoins have entered the "relief rally" and are up 20-40%. Now I will name three reasons why such a rise is possible: 1. 🧐Correlation between the price of the altcoin and the price of the underlying asset The beta in this case is how much your asset will move relative to the underlying pair (usually ETH). For most DeFi altcoins, a -30% drop in ETH will cause the token to decline by about 50-70% - that's your "Beta coefficient". Conversely - so in this ETH rally, up ~13% from the lows, altcoins are up about 20-40% from their lows. As a starting point, you need a stable and growing underlying asset to make the beta work in your favor. 💰Conclusion #1: Expect the underlying asset to rise In challenging market conditions, your shitcoin is unlikely to rise against the decline of ETH. 2.💡 Unique fundamental events in projects. As the ETH decline stabilizes, it's important to keep an eye on the project's Twitter and Discord. As soon as you see cool fundamental news - powerful partnerships, infusions of investment, new uses for the token - that's a great reason to enter the trade. Keep in mind that cause #1 is more powerful than cause #2, so if ETH starts to fall, catalytic events at the token level matter less. But at the same time, if you are in the trend of rising ETH + the project is innovating, it will allow the project to be stronger than the market in the rebound. 💰Conclusion #2: follow the news and use it wisely. 3.⚙️ Token issuance. If large token unlocks or high farming rewards occur, your token may be losing ground to ETH (or other underlying assets), especially during the bear market. In the bull market, token issuance, high FDV and unlocks matter less 💰Conclusion #3: keep an eye on token issuance, study project tokenomics and investor funds unlocking calendar in advance. 🤔How to put this into practice? 🔥Constructively understand where the market is moving to be able to jump on the rebound wave. Monitor media sentiment, the S&P 500 and BTC chart, and the Fear Index - all of which together will help identify the trend. 🔥Figure it out - is the altcoin you're trading growing or dying? To do this - examine the project's discord and look for upcoming fundamental events, changes in tokenomics. It's worth investigating whether an event that will happen is capable of immediately changing the order of things, or whether it's a distant prospect. Most "catalysts" aren't really necessary for anyone (all those Twitter partnerships that small projects are so famous for). Look for news that will either increase the volume of demand for the token, increase TVL over time, or bring more attention to the project. Taking into account that the information asymmetry doesn't allow you to see the prospects at once - you need to buy tokens gradually, by buying up, guessing the bottom is not easy, you need to keep the position sizes small. 🔥Remember - this is not a trend movement, but only a short-term rebound, Pump. Try using leverage. This is the RISK/REWARD when you should be doing this - you can clearly see the previous bottom and can be guided by it when setting a stop loss. As a true-degen, I haven't used Binance Futures for a long time, but use various DeFi protocols like WOWswap to add leverage to my position. In addition to independence, DEXs also give you a number of advantages in an effort to drag clients from large CEXs - so, on WOWswap for example, leverage fees are charged only if the position is closed in the plus. On other platforms, you may be rewarded with native tokens for opening a position, and so on. Take advantage of these benefits. Every cent counts for trading. 💼Conclusions: Because of the small bounce, there is no need to go into FOMO and stock up on all altcoins at once. Instead, be patient, improve your research process, and find the projects and wallets that interest you the most. Be patient, don't panic. The market is going through a small rally/short-squeeze, many ALTs are still overvalued, teams are dumping, and communities are abandoning projects. Find your edge in the market, lurk, and spot-shoot underperforming projects. Disclaimer: Nothing in this article constitutes professional investment advice.

Who is the Best Comic Relief Character in the World of Sitcoms?

Have you heard about CBD, but you still aren’t sure what to make of it? Do you want to try it, but you aren’t sure where to begin? Don’t worry if you feel a little lost. Many have been in this position (myself included). CBD has only recently hit the mainstream, so the majority of people are still unfamiliar with it. Thankfully there’s a lot of information out there to help you get started. CBD has become one of the most talked-about topics in medical science in the last few years. Research has shown it to be a promising treatment for a range of different conditions, including stress, anxiety and chronic pain. The list of its benefits is staggering. But what is it exactly? In a nutshell, CBD is a chemical compound found in cannabis plants. It gets extracted from hemp and then turned into any number of consumable products. It’s completely separate from THC too, so there isn’t any “high” involved or anything like that. Instead, what CBD does is relieve stress and work with your body’s natural rhythms. So it’ll make you more focused during the day, and then more relaxed at night. CBD is surprisingly easy to take. While oils and gummies tend to be the most popular, there are also capsules for those who would rather bypass dealing with flavor entirely. You just swallow them with a glass of water like you would any other pill. Here are 5 CBD companies that I think are currently leading the pack: 1. Penguin CBD Penguin CBD waddles into the top spot on my list. And how could it not? Just take a look at that cute little penguin on the bottle. In all seriousness, has been making strides in the industry when it comes to delivering effective products. Penguin CBD Their products are made with a broad-spectrum extraction process, which uses CO2 to make sure that all of the beneficial terpenes are preserved without any of the THC. Each batch of products is then sent out to third-party labs for testing, to ensure its potency and purity. Yet, this standard of quality doesn’t come at an ultra-steep cost like you’d expect. Penguin is committed to maintaining reasonable prices for their customers. 2. Charlotte’s Web Much like the classic children’s novel of the same name, has a heartwarming story behind it. Charlotte’s Web It all started with a young girl named Charlotte Figi, who was suffering from debilitating seizures. Her condition had become so severe that she spent most of her time in the hospital, as she would have multiple seizures that lasted for hours each day. That’s when the Stanley Brothers, a family of hemp farmers, stepped in and developed a low-THC, high-CBD strain of cannabis to help her out. It worked like a miracle, and their CBD products are now in high demand worldwide. 3. Green Roads There’s an obvious reason why we tend to trust products crafted by professionals and experts. I know that I’m certainly put more at ease when I know I’m trying something made by somebody who knew what they were doing. , their CBD capsules were “formulated by a board-certified pharmacist” with over 20 years of experience. They’re made using broad-spectrum CBD, meaning there is no THC present at all. According to the Green Roads 4. Bluebird Botanicals Pro-tip: If you want to know which CBD brands are the most dependable, just take a look at their history and list of accolades. That should tell you all that you need to know. Bluebird Botanicals, founded in 2012, was one of the earliest CBD companies to arrive on the scene. In 2016, they were awarded the title of “ ” at the Cannabist Awards hosted by the Denver Post. They are a family owned and operated business, and are involved with numerous charities. #1 Hemp CBD Company 5. Elixinol A lot of CBD production tends to be centralized around the United States, due to its larger industrial hemp farms. A lot of brands don’t ship internationally as a result. This could leave some of you non-American viewers out there feeling left out. That’s why Elixinol might come as a pleasant surprise. While , their operations extend across the globe. Their CBD products are distributed throughout 40 countries across North America, South America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific region. They’ve also specialized in hemp products for over 30 years now, so you know you can depend on their expertise. Elixinol might be based in Colorado Their capsules are made using a CO2 extraction procedure that ensures their purity without compromising it with any chemical solvents. Conclusion There’s a lot of choices out there when it comes to CBD capsules. More and more CBD brands seem to pop up every day, among the hundreds that already exist. This is certainly not a comprehensive list. I’m not even sure that would be possible. However, I think this should serve as a solid starting point for newcomers. All of the brands I’ve included are reputable and reliable, as well as self-tested. I definitely recommend taking your time while browsing through these and looking around at other potential options. From my own experience, I wholeheartedly believe that CBD is a worthwhile investment for your health and well-being.

How These Companies Are Using CBD Technology To Solve Sleep Relief

No one should have to live with chronic pain. There are pharmaceutical options to help give you some relief, but depending on your body, these might come with side effects and require varying dosages. Many people are turning to plant-based CBD oil as an alternative: several brands are all-natural, organic, and you cannot build a tolerance for it. CBD — short for cannabidiol — comes from cannabis. Unlike marijuana, though, which contains the psychoactive THC that gets you high, CBD is derived from the hemp branch of cannabis. While further research is necessary, there is evidence suggesting that CBD products (such as oil and tinctures) can relieve pain symptoms, help with anxiety and depression, smooth the skin when applied topically, and provide other various benefits. : Floyd’s of Leadville notes “Studies show that CBD interacts with both your immune system and your brain receptors. These receptors receive a bunch of chemical signals from stimuli and help the rest of your cells respond to those signals. When your receptors react with CBD, they form anti-inflammatory effects that reduce pain… CBD also helps treat conditions like anxiety depression, fibromyalgia, and stress.” Your body has its own endocannabinoid system, so CBD products work in harmony with it. If you are experiencing pain, talk with your doctor before introducing CBD to your diet and ask if it could be an option for you. If your doctor approves, here are a few quality options to consider. Verma Farms Some CBD products are better than others. Some manufacturers attempt to cut corners and grow hemp with high amounts of pesticides (hemp is an absorbent plant that can also take in toxins and heavy metals from the soil, which can end up in products if not distilled properly). The have their products tested by third-party labs to verify their purity and potency, like , and exercise sustainable and high-standard farming practices. All of Verma’s products — namely, drops titled l, , and , all starting at $74.99 — are completely organic, vegan, pesticide-free, non-GMO, and made with all-natural additional ingredients. most trustworthy CBD brands Verma Farms Chil Boost Focus Green Roads Something else you need to watch out for: synthetic CBD, which is incredibly dangerous. : According to Green Roads “While they are advertised as being able to replicate the effects of hemp-derived cannabinoids, synthetic CBD molecules often have different properties and much stronger potency. As in the case with most synthetic drugs (i.e., bath salts) synthetic cannabinoids can have serious side effects such as nausea, vomiting, paranoia, and seizures. There have also been several deaths linked to the use of synthetic cannabinoids.” All of Green Roads’ products made with real, organic CBD. If you are experiencing pain, purity is essential. Green Roads offers a variety of oils, edibles, capsules, pain cream, and even syrups and more. Healthy Hemp Oil Healthy Hemp Oil products — specifically its — contain higher concentrations of CBD thanks to a process known as “decarboxylation,” which uses teat to turn hemp’s cannabidiolic acid into powerful CBD. The Gold label is particularly potent, but Healthy Hemp Oil says that the Blue label is ideal for pain relief and relaxation and tastes raw and earthy. Herbal Renewals: Blue and Gold Label High CBD Hemp Oil Herbal Renewals products are easy to use, relaxing, suitable for vegan and kosher diets, boast great value, and come in adjustable serving sizes. If you are looking to alleviate some of your pain, Healthy Hemp Oil might be helpful to you. Nature’s Script tinctures come in 300mg, 600, 1000, 2000, and 4,000mg concentrations, and taste like flavors including peppermint and watermelon. It also sells products in gummy, syrup, and vape juice forms, so you can enjoy the experience itself when you take CBD. Like Verma Farms, Nature’s Script products include absolutely no THC (some brands do because the legal allowance of THC in hemp products is .3 percent or less), which is ideal for people who are looking for pain relief but might need to pass employer-given drug tests. Nature’s Script Nature’s Script also offers CBD oil for pets. While you should never give your pet such products before consulting with your veterinarian, it might be worth inquiring if your animal family members are suffering from pain. Numerous other brands offer pet oils as well, so conduct some research with your vet to determine which is most appropriate. Cannabidiol products are rising in popularity due to their ability to alleviate pain and treat other conditions like insomnia and anxiety. Not all CBD products are high-quality, though, so make sure whoever you purchase from is transparent about their growth and manufacturing processes and know the supporting science.

How These Companies Are Using CBD Technology To Solve Pain Relief

1. 80% of UK angel investments are SEIS/EIS powers early-stage UK funding rounds. The EIS and SEIS schemes were established in 1992 and 2012 respectively with the goal of encouraging private investors to back UK innovation and stimulate growth of the economy. They give investors a tax break for investing in early stage companies. Fast forward 6 years, the UK has one of the most active angel investment ecosystems in the world, and SEIS/EIS is the driver. According to , 90% of angel investors have invested through EIS or SEIS, and 80% of the total investments in angels’ portfolios are SEIS or EIS. These schemes have encouraged angels to invest around £1.5bn annually — so if you’re raising from angel investors you’ll dramatically increase your investability by getting SEIS or EIS Advance Assurance, which you can do on . SEIS/EIS Tax Relief UK Business Angels Association SeedLegals 2. You don’t need to be a UK company to raise SEIS/EIS It’s commonly assumed that only UK companies can qualify for SEIS and EIS, but companies that have been established abroad can qualify for SEIS/EIS as long as they have a UK branch or subsidiary. In order to qualify, HMRC will investigate to ensure that the company passes their ‘UK permanent establishment test’. Because this isn’t commonly known, if you have an overseas company and would like to raise funds from UK investors, potential investors will be more likely to want to see as proof you qualify. advance assurance from HMRC 3. Angel investors get Liquidation Preference on SEIS/EIS shares can Liquidation preference is the right of an investor to priority in receiving the proceeds from the sale or liquidation of a company. This right is usually attached to preferred shares and gives the holders of these shares a position that is ahead of the ordinary shares if the company is sold or is shut down. Preference shares are frequently given to investors in venture capital rounds, but they aren’t compatible with SEIS/EIS. However, the finest minds have been working on finding a way for the investors to get their money back first on an exit, without being disqualified from SEIS/EIS. Here’s how: Broadly, the investors get a different class of Ordinary shares to the founders — they’re usually called A Ordinary shares. And those A Ordinary shares don’t exactly get their money back first, the proceeds actually get shared between all shareholders, except that until their investment money is repaid, the proceeds are split 99.99% to the A Ordinary shareholders, 0.01% to the Ordinary shareholders. Once the investors have received their money back, then any remaining assets are distributed pro-rata — i.e. to each shareholder proportional to the number of shares they have. This all needs to be worded carefully in the Articles in order to be SEIS/EIS compliant. The good news is that at SeedLegals we’ve done all the the hard work for you, and so if an investor requests a liquidation preference on their SEIS/EIS investment you can set this up in a few clicks, confident that the wording will be correct — in your round on . here’s how to set up SEIS/EIS compatible Liquidation Preferences SeedLegals 4. EIS doesn’t only last for 7 years Most people think you can only get EIS in the first 7 years of trading. But, if a company has raised some EIS in the first 7 years of trading, they can continue to raise EIS forever more, at least until the HMRC limit of £12m is reached, and no more than £5m in any one 12 month period. 5. For a company beyond the SEIS/EIS time limit, HMRC will treat a new business activity as resetting the timer If a company is offering a new product, or service and wants to raise investment to grow this part of the business, they can actually raise under SEIS/EIS since HMRC will treat this new business activity as a startup which therefore qualifies for the scheme. 6. Founders can repay personal loans they’ve made to the business with SEIS investment, but not EIS Small loans are a common way for founders to kick start their business. More often than not, it’s the founder’s own capital being used to cover everything from web development, design, desk space and even hiring some early employees. Once a company raises their first equity funding round, there is sometimes an opportunity to agree with investors that . However, according to HMRC regulations, it’s only possible to agree loan repayment terms in SEIS qualified funding rounds, not EIS. the loan will be repaid at some point in future 7. Founders can repay 3rd party loans with EIS if the loan was used for the purposes of the trade and it isn’t linked to the investor This means that although you can’t repay a personal ‘Directors Loan’, founders can repay 3rd party loans using EIS investment — as long as the loan wasn’t from or linked to the investor themselves. The loan must have been used ‘for the purposes of trade’ which is basically a catch-all to ensure funds weren’t spent on that boozy ‘team building’ ski trip or the company’s much-loved permanently stocked bar. 8. Many UK tech startups qualify as a ‘Knowledge Intensive Company’ but don’t know it have a special status when it comes to SEIS/EIS. They can raise almost double the lifetime funding limit of EIS (£20m total vs. £12m total), and a longer fundraising window (10 years instead of 7 years) as well as a host of other benefits.The kicker is that HMRC just lowered the bar for what qualifies as a knowledge intensive companies, and at SeedLegals we see a lot of tech startups that are eligible — without even knowing about it. Knowledge intensive companies With SEIS/EIS being the main driver for UK early stage investment there is a lot of money being left on the table by both startups and investors. Your company qualifies as a knowledge intensive company by meeting one of these conditions: a) You spent 15% of your operating costs on innovation, research or development in 1 of the last 3 years. Plus, 10% of your operating costs in each of the 3 preceding years leading up to that year. (If you have employed developers, including contractors, you probably qualify for this condition) b) Creating or using IP to create products that become the companies main business. This includes any hard science innovations, hardware or tech products including software, website code or even an app. (If you have created IP e.g. a proprietary algorithm, you probably qualify for this condition) c) At least 20% of your company’s full-time employees hold a higher education qualification and their work with you is directly related to that subject. (If you employ a number of Master / PhD holders you probably qualify for this condition) Not sure whether you qualify as a knowledge intensive company?

8 Things You Didn’t Know About SEIS/EIS Tax Relief

Photo: (Co.Exist ) Ben Fuchs article The refugee crisis facing the world today is unprecedented in scale. But, coders can provide relief for refugees…without even leaving home. All it takes is a humanitarian spirit and a passion for helping others. When my editor suggested I write an article about coding and refugees, I’ll be honest, I didn’t think it was going to be an easy post to write. But it turns out I was wrong, very wrong. It also turns out that I needn’t have asked for payment in advance. This is because the moment I started doing some research I quickly came across a wealth of evidence, research, and one of the best examples of pure altruism I’ve seen in a long time in the tech world. You may or may not be aware of it, but coders, tech engineers and app designers are helping refugees from around the world every day…and they’re not doing it for profit. More than that, they’re making a real difference and a real positive impact on the lives of refugees worldwide. Have your own ideas? Bring your dreams to life in our part-time coding course. Refugee Crisis? There’s an App for That If you have been unlucky enough to be caught up in a civil war between say a dictator on one side, ineffectual international intervention, and fear being at the mercy of religious extremists; or been caught in the middle of a warzone, and now attempt to survive by crossing a desert or an inhospitable sea on a rubber Band-Aid in an attempt to save you and your family’s lives; or paid thousands of dollars for the privilege of escaping to some untrustworthy and nefarious individuals, only to end up in a country where you don’t speak the language and face an uncertain future of prejudice, resentment and genuine repression for “coming over here and not making an effort”… Then don’t panic, because there’s an app for that. No, seriously, there is. In fact, there are heaps of them! Pick one and get going. A genuine revelation Refugees can access apps that will help them save their lives, and it’s actually part of a growing trend worldwide. To be honest, I should have known. I’ve covered other tech related innovations designed to help humans over the last few years, such as MS, Google and Facebook’s efforts to grant even the remotest parts of the world better internet. I’ve also been a champion of the Raspberry Pi, and even covered emergent renewable power in third world countries. So, it should go without saying that there are also apps for refugees. Someone like you and me has built them…and the best news of all is that if you can code, you too possess the power to create applications for the benefit of humanity. The curious thing (and also the wonderful thing) about how coding has helped refugees is the fact that much of it’s been carried out by small like-minded groups and individuals. But, how exactly can technology and coding help refugees? At its most basic level, merely having a phone with GPS and Google Maps installed has proved to be a lifesaver for refugees. According to Amnesty International, the war in Syria alone has displaced over 4 million individuals — nevermind the estimated 43 million (and growing) worldwide. Unsurprisingly, there isn’t much of an organisational infrastructure for civilians wanting to flee war zones. Sheltering, feeding and providing essential healthcare is a logistical nightmare for NGOs and other organisations trying to help. But, by utilising data and analytical technology, some groups have deployed rather innovative mechanisms to try and make the difference. And why wouldn’t it? It was only last that the chief information officer for the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) said that the “first thing people running the Za’atri [refugee] camp in Jordan ask for is not tents and blankets, but where they can charge their mobile phones.” year For a refugee, looking at cute pictures of kittens is one of the last things on their mind. Instead, the humble mobile phone is now seen as an integral part of a wide gamut of strategies currently worked on under the guide of the UN Innovation program. It’s also an example of where big tech companies can make their presence felt. Microsoft has been working since 1999 to support UNHCR in its mandate to offer refugee assistance, by leveraging technology, specifically, with the proGres initiative. Some volunteer Microsoft employees began back in 1999. Since then, ProGres has become the UN global registration system for refugees. By the end of 2010, proGres operated in more than 250 locations across 82 countries, and to date has provided assistance to nearly 5 million refugees. ProGres Thanks to ProGres’ implementation of Iris scanning technology commonly used by U.S. banks, there’s no longer an administrative backlog of refugees waiting to be registered. As a concrete example, the UN has estimated that over 600,000 refugees currently reside in Jordan. Keeping tabs on the number of refugees has proven more impactful than knowing each refugee’s name. According to Andrew Harper of the UN, it’s fundamentally changed the way the UN distributes aid to the estimated 2 million plus refugees both in Jordan and surrounding areas. The resulting data ensures that aid is implemented in a much more effective manner than ever before. project takes a different approach, likely because it was designed with an alternative purpose in mind. It was launched in 2013 when a group of European journalists and researchers joined forces to quantify the deaths of immigrants seeking refuge in Europe, and identify the locations of these tragedies on maps. The Migrants’ Files involves the extended use of graphical information systems to plot data accurately on maps, and paints a different story to the one the media tells. The Migrants’ Files Another great example of technology and coding helping refugees is , another powerful service that helps people who have been displaced. Refunite’s tagline is: ‘Everyone has a right to know where their family is.’ Refunite Refunite is the story of two tech engineers, David and Christopher, who found that existent family tracing programs lacked collaborative technology. Their mission is to eradicate the fill-in forms that made information sharing between agencies, borders, and conflicts really ineffective. The power of entrepreneurs, hackathons, and techfugees As you can see, a handful of tech entrepreneurs and established big tech have done their parts in helping refugees worldwide. But, the primary players have done it on a volunteer or not for profit basis. With that said, you don’t need to join or be employed by an NGO or a humanitarian organisation to help. You don’t need to travel to effected areas to get involved either. All you need to be is a Techfugee. The term ‘techfugee’ simply refers to people around the world who volunteer their time to aid today’s human crises. Techfugees are part of the global collective aspiring to use technology to help out refugees…and they’re not an isolated bunch either! Techfugee.com facilitates this work. While doing their part by coming up with innovative solutions, techfugee.com also places humanitarian engineers and coders in NGO’s. The best part of all? Techfugee’s work seems entirely altruistic in nature. Refugees and their brave new world It’s about much more than helping refugees flee whatever card they’ve been dealt. There are also issues after the fact. It’s just one of those things. There’s an awful lot of news documenting refugees as they flee, but there’s not much information once they’ve arrived. While their lives might no longer be in immediate danger from lethal persecution, there’s a hundred and one problems they continue to face in their new country. From language barriers to cultural problems, to downright lack of basic information, refugees have massive amounts of work cut out for them with too few resources to lean on for help. To reiterate: Coders possess the power to provide relief for refugees. In our current digital age, geographic location doesn’t matter in the way it would’ve only ten years ago. Unsurprisingly, many ideas for apps and software to assist newly arrived refugees come from individuals who were once refugees themselves. As a general rule of thumb, the ability to program is akin to learning a universal language. Coding is transferable. Refugees from countries like Syria, Libya, and Iraq are the latest in a long line of displaced people marching back through history. Over the last two years, Techfugee hackathons have been organised across the world, including our very own . Australia Back in November 2015, more than 50 tech developers, along with 30 people who came to Australia as refugees, joined forces in a suburb of Sydney to create apps that would help recently arrived refugee families integrate more easily into Australian society and understand our cultural differences in an enlightened way. Techfugee events involve much more than well-intentioned coders getting together and assuming they know how to create apps and software that will help refugees. Taking an Agile approach, participants collaborate directly with refugees. Refugees talk to developers one-on-one in small, direct conversations about the issues and problems they personally faced upon arrival. Even part-time Coder Factory student, Anna Robson, applied her recent coding skills to build a fully functinal app for refugees. Not to mention, Anna met co-founder Nirary at the Sydney Techfugee Hackathon in November 2015. The two joined together to solve the problem of talented, educated, and experienced people seeking refuge in Australia struggling to gain local work experience in their new country. The solution? : a digital platform connecting skilled refugees with companies offering internships. Refugee Intern Have your own app idea? Bring your dreams to life in our part-time coding course. Of course, while most of the Techfugee apps are still in development, turnaround time has significantly reduced thanks to the collective effort of small localised groups of coders, such as the talented amongst us in Sydney. Join the efforts While there’s been heaps in the news lately about the fast-paced development of artificial intelligence, and the impending displacement of work by robots, Techfugees worldwide have continued to do their best to help refugees globally by doing what they do best: coding. The most refreshing part of it all is that they’re not incentivised by profits. Everyone involved strives to make a real difference, and the positive impact of technology on refugees has become palpable worldwide. Anyone who knows how to code can help. What are you waiting for?
