Historical Fragments
Re: Historical Fragments
The meme about Hedy Lamarr "inventing Wifi" is bullshit, and when arguing about her missile frequency hopping idea being something entirely unique to her own invention, is to ignore that it was also an idea that existed since WW1, but lacked the technology at the time to implement. It wasn't until decades had passed and it was feasible to implement it that any such idea was actually utilized.
Though it "could have been" used in WW2 and existed as an idea, it doesn't mean it was feasible to implement it, no different then Napoleon or the British could have utilized the rifle cartridges decades prior to it being adopted.
All the while "femenists" like to say how many women were overlooked throughout history, likewise ignore the men that were victims or contributed to society, without being recognized in the least. If you were also to research many of these "overlooked" women, it's pretty evident that they were anything but overlooked.
Basically:
She mostly got the idea from realizing how missiles work, and realized you could avert jamming them by altering the frequency like a player piano note, which was a collaboration of the patent idea with someone who was a musician (if I recall correctly, who also relied on other people to carry out the patent.)
She was smart but people are drastically overestimating the contribution of an idea.
And Steve Jobs was brilliant in his own way, but he also exploited other people's talents. Facebook likewise was a platform that someone utilized, and for all anyone actually knows, could just be a DARPA project called LifeLog, rebranded. (Darpa Lifelog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_LifeLog or likewise look into this https://qr.ae/pKV6Bh )
She was well connected with the munitions industry, since she married an industrialist that sold them. Upon her divorce she adapted the knowledge she obtained from a music composer. This is similar to if Marilyn Monroe then marries Arthur Miller who then writes a screenplay in collaboration (did Marilyn then write the screenplay; likewise did Hedy merely apply her experience when collaborating?) A better argument could be, was Einsteins wife a bigger contribution to his theories, but similar arguments have been made from other Scientists that simultaneously had similar ideas. Also, the ideas she made were in large part theory, since the application of the technology was not implemented in test to demonstrate it.
Did Hedy Lamarr really invent frequency-hopping, or spread spectrum switching?

Her idea was actually theorized in WWI, they just lacked the tech at the time to implement it, and this was an idea, much like how rifle cartridges could have been used by Napoleon in war since 1812, but never caught on until many decades later because it wasn't "tried and true" technology.

Show
In 1856, twenty-three-year-old widow Kate Warne walked into the office of the Pinkerton Detective Agency in Chicago, announcing that she had seen the company’s ad and wanted to apply for the job. “Sorry,” Alan Pinkerton told her, “but we don’t have any clerical staff openings. We’re looking to hire a new detective.” Pinkerton would later describe Warne as having a “commanding” presence that morning. “I’m here to apply for the detective position,” she replied. Taken aback, Pinkerton explained to Kate that women aren’t suited to be detectives, and then Kate forcefully and eloquently made her case. Women have access to places male detectives can’t go, she noted, and women can befriend the wives and girlfriends of suspects and gain information from them. Finally, she observed, men tend to become braggards around women who encourage boasting, and women have keen eyes for detail. Pinkerton was convinced. He hired her.
Shortly after Warne was hired, she proved her value as a detective by befriending the wife of a suspect in a major embezzlement case. Warne not only gained the information necessary to arrest and convict the thief, but she discovered where the embezzled funds were hidden and was able to recover nearly all of them. On another case she extracted a confession from a suspect while posing as a fortune teller. Pinkerton was so impressed that he created a Women’s Detective Bureau within his agency and made Kate Warne the leader of it.
In her most famous case, Kate Warne may have changed the history of the world. In February 1861 the president of the Wilmington and Baltimore railroad hired Pinkerton to investigate rumors of threats against the railroad. Looking into it, Pinkerton soon found evidence of something much more dangerous—a plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln before his inauguration. Pinkerton assigned Kate Warne to the case. Taking the persona of “Mrs. Cherry,” a Southern woman visiting Baltimore, she managed to infiltrate the secessionist movement there and learn the specific details of the scheme—a plan to kill the president-elect as he passed through Baltimore on the way to Washington.
Pinkerton relayed the threat to Lincoln and urged him to travel to Washington from a different direction. But Lincoln was unwilling to cancel the speaking engagements he had agreed to along the way, so Pinkerton resorted to a Plan B. For the trip through Baltimore Lincoln was secretly transferred to a different train and disguised as an invalid. Posing as his caregiver was Kate Warne. When she afterwards described her sleepless night with the President, Pinkerton was inspired to adopt the motto that became famously associated with his agency: “We never sleep.” The details Kate Warne had uncovered had enabled the “Baltimore Plot” to be thwarted.
During the Civil War, Warne and the female detectives under her supervision conducted numerous risky espionage 8missions, with Warne’s charm and her skill at impersonating a Confederate sympathizer giving her access to valuable intelligence. After the war she continued to handle dangerous undercover assignments on high-profile cases, while at the same time overseeing the agency’s growing staff of female detectives.
Kate Warne, America’s first female detective, died of pneumonia at age 34, on January 28, 1868, one hundred fifty-six years ago today. “She never let me down,” Pinkerton said of one of his most trusted and valuable agents. She was buried in the Pinkerton family plot in Chicago.

Re: Historical Fragments
A meme with Decartes surprised that people don't think, conjured this up:
The irony is that Descartes was also wrong (that to presuppose the "I" in "I think therefore I am," suggests a thinking being has prescience in his autonomy of a God concept, which by default does not render itself exclusive, simply on the foundation of thought being an ontological necessity in its conclusion.)
Too often people mistake the illusion of "thinking" as actually knowing when it's based on a false dichotomy of sentience.
In the same vein people assume all conflicts in the world are based on "shared difference" and not a survival mechanism bourne out of tribalistic identity. A behavior that occurs by people before a learned understanding of expected outcomes, renders a fear-based response about outliers infringing on a perceived threat to survival (hence most people behave based on pathos and clinging more to pupulist ideologies.) People would rather follow a Jim Jones if they thought he would solve all their problems, not knowing they were deceived or that they even deceived themselves by trusting them. What motivates one person's conscience may not lead to the same outcome when people trust their instincts over what can be attainable and understood about situations beyond our control and ability to rationalize.

Usually subscription access to video games are considered more of a new thing (it used to be getting access to videogames through the internet was more of an anti-piracy measure, with something like Steam, but now you can just "rent" access bi-monthly and move onto another game with the service fee,) though pre-internet they had access to games in 1980 using the cable wires.

Simultaneously as I was thinking Nintendo's Broadcast System was ahead of it's time, the Sega Channel was really not too different, and had it's precursor on the Master System in the late 1980s, and always had "superior" hardware if considering specs (though never fully utilized, and the best performance came from chips internal to the game cartridge, hence why Nintendo often kept using cartridge instead of cd-rom, though this probably had more to do with the target audience that would be using the systems, hence the idea of Nintendo selling the concept of a subscription service might have been better suited for older gamers which wasn't as likely occur in USA, and Segal Channel was a bit of a flop.)
It's kind of weird for me to consider how technology seemed so different from the perspective of a 5 year old around 1990, but it seems apparent that even watching footage of the Apollo 11 launch, much of the technology and clothing from that time could fairly easily have fit into the 1990s, and if people step back into the Roman era, the main differences of today are the widespread accessibility of industrialization, and perhaps combustion engines and electricity which enabled for further development, but otherwise you can find much of the same technology being the same for roughly 2000 years. Seeing things from a 5 year old perspective in the early 1990s, you would swear the world was astonishingly different even in a 5 year period, when it sometimes seems easier to look back on earlier games, and the main distinction is the storage capacity of the median to be able to take advantage of the world constructed for a game. Ultimately more accessibility to things can give a different perspective on the world, because it was far easier to be more exclusive to what you had access to and yet more than ever people who "would have" access to the information of the era of the the time period of Apollo 11 are still more likely to deny we ever landed on the moon, whereas more evidence can be gathered to the contrary, when even during that time period it might have been more restricted due to printed median being the predominant frame of reference outside of a few media recordings that many people probably missed out on if they weren't specifically watching TV at the time (and likewise movies couldn't be shared prior to VHS which was still very cost prohibitive.)
Technology goes through numerous iterations and it's often the case where people will praise individuals like Hedy Lemarr who basically just copied ideas down from having access to ideas through her marriage(s) and social connections, which were ideas that predated hers by decades, and would not be feasible for more decades upon which transistors made it feasible to use alternating pattern radio frequencies to scatter missile communication (which perhaps still would not prevent an enemy from altering it's course if they could easily figure out that one of many potential radio signals could intercept and alter the direction of a missile at least on one particular frequency?) Whereas things that seem to represent the modern interpretation of technology were feasible decades prior of their adaptations, much like cartridges used for bullets.
And yet if you recognize something groundbreaking, the majority will only cling to the idea because other idiots eventually catch onto what it is, whereas they would have ignored it for decades prior.

Usually subscription access to video games are considered more of a new thing (it used to be getting access to videogames through the internet was more of an anti-piracy measure, with something like Steam, but now you can just "rent" access bi-monthly and move onto another game with the service fee,) though pre-internet they had access to games in 1980 using the cable wires.

Simultaneously as I was thinking Nintendo's Broadcast System was ahead of it's time, the Sega Channel was really not too different, and had it's precursor on the Master System in the late 1980s, and always had "superior" hardware if considering specs (though never fully utilized, and the best performance came from chips internal to the game cartridge, hence why Nintendo often kept using cartridge instead of cd-rom, though this probably had more to do with the target audience that would be using the systems, hence the idea of Nintendo selling the concept of a subscription service might have been better suited for older gamers which wasn't as likely occur in USA, and Segal Channel was a bit of a flop.)
It's kind of weird for me to consider how technology seemed so different from the perspective of a 5 year old around 1990, but it seems apparent that even watching footage of the Apollo 11 launch, much of the technology and clothing from that time could fairly easily have fit into the 1990s, and if people step back into the Roman era, the main differences of today are the widespread accessibility of industrialization, and perhaps combustion engines and electricity which enabled for further development, but otherwise you can find much of the same technology being the same for roughly 2000 years. Seeing things from a 5 year old perspective in the early 1990s, you would swear the world was astonishingly different even in a 5 year period, when it sometimes seems easier to look back on earlier games, and the main distinction is the storage capacity of the median to be able to take advantage of the world constructed for a game. Ultimately more accessibility to things can give a different perspective on the world, because it was far easier to be more exclusive to what you had access to and yet more than ever people who "would have" access to the information of the era of the the time period of Apollo 11 are still more likely to deny we ever landed on the moon, whereas more evidence can be gathered to the contrary, when even during that time period it might have been more restricted due to printed median being the predominant frame of reference outside of a few media recordings that many people probably missed out on if they weren't specifically watching TV at the time (and likewise movies couldn't be shared prior to VHS which was still very cost prohibitive.)
Technology goes through numerous iterations and it's often the case where people will praise individuals like Hedy Lemarr who basically just copied ideas down from having access to ideas through her marriage(s) and social connections, which were ideas that predated hers by decades, and would not be feasible for more decades upon which transistors made it feasible to use alternating pattern radio frequencies to scatter missile communication (which perhaps still would not prevent an enemy from altering it's course if they could easily figure out that one of many potential radio signals could intercept and alter the direction of a missile at least on one particular frequency?) Whereas things that seem to represent the modern interpretation of technology were feasible decades prior of their adaptations, much like cartridges used for bullets.
And yet if you recognize something groundbreaking, the majority will only cling to the idea because other idiots eventually catch onto what it is, whereas they would have ignored it for decades prior.

When the government becomes totalitarian and robs people of their property; but it was also the end of the Gilded Age, when such properties were rather common if you got into the energy sector. Canada just embraced much of the communist and socialism movements that were trendy, and as far as they were concerned, the wealth owned by such people were beyond necessary (if only this were still perceived that way today?)
When are dick-wagging contests not just that? Also, would the kind of spending that Henry Pellatt was known for, not lead to his inevitable demise? When contrasting the spending to that of actual Kings (such as Henry VIII) throughout history, that kind of spending was usually what proceeded the plunder of the Catholic church, or taking advantage of being hosted by someone who just happened to need to show off for their visitor.

Re: Historical Fragments
She is Zinaida Portnova, known for having taken the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food at just 16 years of age.
She was captured by the Gestapo, and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed two more Nazis. She was executed at the age of 17.
