The Future of Banking and Litigation Finance
by Gunnar Larson 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

Check out my new article: An obvious question is how will innovation in the banking and litigation finance sectors evolve together? Litigation funding is serving as a de-risking mechanism that doubles as a conduit to justice. Oonbazul.com <https://oonbazul.com/firm-news/webinar-topical-summary-third-party-funding-…> recently hosted a discussion titled, “Third Party Funding Executive Roundtable: A Perspective for Banks.” The panel brought together experts from Hereford Litigation, including Mr. Dakis Hagen QC, Mr. Edward Grundy, Managing Partner, Mr. Ben Mays, Managing Director, and the Managing Director from Kroll, Mr. Jason Kardachi. - According to the panel, banks are exploring litigation finance tools for asset recovery. Benefits include risk being absorbed by funders who are motivated to see a return on their investment. - While funders do not control third party litigation, many in-house bank collection operations lack such motivation to innovate. - As such, experienced funders have partnered with leading banks to engage in litigation finance as a risk mitigation strategy. Looking at the international horizon, forecasts suggest that high profile cross-border banks will broadly explore litigation finance facilities. Similarly, investors will look to leverage sophisticated banking relationships that service a new generation of global litigation funding business. A symbiotic relationship that stands to increase overall bank profitability. https://litigationfinancejournal.com/the-future-of-banking-and-litigation-f… -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

[ot][spam][crazy] eeg thoughts
by k 15 Jan '22

preface: hobby eeg research is very old. but it's not something you see people talking about a lot, despite there being public information on making devices and software, and cognitive amplification. it needs a little extra protection. say whenever you tried to do something, your body did something. if you wanted to form a computer algorithm to detect this, the current approach is called "machine learning". it works best with many thousands of data points. this means marking in data, many thousands of events when your body does something, when you try to do the thing. you could then train an algorithm to predict it. i don't know the actual number needed. there may be approaches that take only a few datapoints, but they would still be split into a train and test set. additionally there are approaches that are less automated. another interesting avenue is using pretrained models that have emerged from research. these models already report brain or event metrics, and could possibly be combined to chart the behavior of a brain. there are communities where researchers chat with hackers about these things. one such community is neurotechx, which is on slack. here's an invite if somebody else is reading: https://join.slack.com/t/neurotechx/shared_invite/zt-dfmxe9r8-2TnyN598LS7Zr… it's quite clear there are older hacker communities. i'm not sure where to find them, but one could look on irc servers for interesting room names or usernames of developers of say the openeeg project or the datalad project. -- pasting the invite was a little hard, sending now :)

Grarpamps was sent back to jail!?
by professor rat 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Iowa Branch Trumpvidian and terrorist, Gramps, sorry, Doug Jensen, who participated in the January 6 attack on the Capitol suffered another legal setback today. Namely his petition for release was denied a second time. Jensen remains in Federal custody in Pennsylvania while awaiting trial at some date in the future. As you may recall, Jensen was sent back to jail last summer for violating the terms of his release by looking at videos promoting the lies about the 2020 election and listening to reich wing male bovine excrement ( FROM the Palmer Report ) https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/this-capitol-attacker-is-even-dumber-…

prediction about joe rogan
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

rogan has invited this guy malone to his 'spotify' 'podcast' (lawl fucking newspeak) and they both have said things that the covaids technonazis DO NOT LIKE (a.k.a. part of the truth) now wikimierda claims : "In January 2022 an open letter signed by 270 health care professionals called on Spotify to develop a counter-misinformation policy... ...a 'scientist' signed the letter stating that she viewed Rogan as "a menace to public health," ...the 'scientist' turds especially took issue with an episode that featured Robert W. Malone" so rogan is working for a swedish NSA mafia showing he isn't exactly principled, or even too smart, if he thinks he can 'trust' the rothschild-spotify-NSA turds. My prediction then is that rogan may soon turn into a 'rapist'. ps: I wrote this message yesterday but didn't post it, and now the pentagon has just spammed the topic...So, I'm posting it now - better later than never.

Batshit Crazy antisemitism on display

The head of Huawei has recently emphasized the importance to the company of “bringing in talent with ‘tall noses’”. Which reminds me - all Marxists are antisemitic. Capital CHAPTER FOUR: THE GENERAL FORMULA FOR CAPITAL: “The capitalist knows that all commodities, however scurvy they may look, or however badly they may smell, are in faith and in truth money, inwardly circumcised Jews . . .”

what is porongavirus?
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

"During the centuries that science has fruitlessly sought remedies against coronavirus (aka the common cold), only zinc has repeatedly proven its efficacy in peer-reviewed studies." OOPS. So kennedy just said that porongavirus/covaids is actually the common cold? Compare that to the pentagon propaganda that turds like bell and 'grarpamp' dutifully vomit.
