Government doesn't protect me from the terrorists
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Government ARE the terrorists Cypherpunks, some high-tech libertarians, and various others think crypto-anarchist technology will eliminate the need for government ( then outright eliminate government.) Convicted tax evader Jim Bell proposes a system of anonymous ecash awards for the murder of “aggressors”, such as IRS agents. See also ‘Crypto-Convict Won’t Recant’. This system, going viral, would quickly force all governments to operate secretly rather than openly. I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe- "That government is best which governs not at all"

Why starlink has still not yet allowed anonymous crypto prepaid accounts
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Hazarding a guess I would say Mollusk is set on Brinworld solutions and we all just saw that confirmed in his Twitter machinations. He's now making Zuckface look respectable! I don't have to point out the earth-bound dangers of such a foolish policy since this list has been analyzing them for decades now. States like fascist Russia, China and Iran must regard the Mollusk as a Godsend. What's new and adds an ever growing danger is the threat from potentially hostile aliens. The further out into space we go the more crypto-anarchist infrastructure we'll need. Hypothetically its not difficult to imagine an advanced civilization, or federation, condemning us all on the basis of one human individual raping a wilderness planet for no good reason. The longer Mollusk ( and the NASA too btw ) carry on planning to violate the Prime Directive the more danger we are all exposed to. Fuck that for a joke - all wannabe Mars colonists have earned killing.

Terra Common Litigation Fund Prompts ‘Red Flags’ Warning
by Gunnar Larson 26 May '22

26 May '22

Check out my new article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/terra-common-litigation-fund-prompts-r… Terra Common Litigation Fund Prompts ‘Red Flags’ Warning Crypto markets are suffering in the wake of the Terra UST stablecoin’s collapse, which came after losing its $1.00 peg. In the process, over $60B in value was wiped out, leaving token holders confused over what might have happened to the algorithms meant to safeguard the Terra community from such a devastating loss. A common litigation fund has been organized, but many are worried about certain red flags associated with the fund’s launch. CryptoSlate reports <https://cryptoslate.com/terra-community-litigation-funds-details-raise-red-…> that the social aspects behind Terra’s demise are ‘catastrophic.’ A compensation fund has been organized as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Donors can donate to the fund, and in doing so, gain voting and other administrative rights to decision making functions. Those concerned with the lack of regulation of cryptocurrencies claim they see red flags associated with the fund, however not much in the way of specifics have been delivered, and thus far no guidance from regulators or attorneys has been issued.

Calls for three illegal drone assassinations
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Anwar al-Awlaki was an American who pushed his first amendment rights in a similar way to Tucker Carlson, Elise Stefanik and Marjorie-Taylor-Greene. " If you help or harbor the terrorist we will treat you as a terrorist " Al-Awlaki became the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and killed by a U.S. drone strike without the rights of due process being afforded. Civil liberties advocates have described the incident as "an extrajudicial execution" that breached al-Awlaki's constitutional right to due process, including a trial.

Illegal drone incursions are rising and NovoQuad is here for your security
by jim bell 26 May '22

" Illegal drone incursions are rising and NovoQuad is here for your security https://share.newsbreak.com/15sghnxn "With the advancement of technology, drones have become more accessible to the public and there is a growing market for this industry. Drones are now used in many industries such as agriculture, construction, filmmaking, photography, and the real estate industry. "However, easy access to such technology also aggravates the possible threat of drones being used for malicious purposes. And, there have been instances in the past when rogue drones wreaked havoc in certain places after authorities failed to detect and neutralize them. "Back in 2018, the Gatwick airport in Britain, the second-busiest airport in the country, was shut down for 33 hours due to the illegal intrusion of two drones that the authorities were never able to find and neutralize. "The result, you ask? Simple, flying drones disrupted 1000 flights and affected the travel plans of about 140,000 people. The Present-Day Dilemma "The Gatwick incident is a stunning eye-opener as to why we need to have a durable and sturdy anti-drone technology in place to combat illegal drone incursions at public places. "Jammers are a fine way to combat such drones; they are available in both portable and stationary formats. When it comes to portability, jammers are designed into gun-like devices that can be used to detect and combat illegal drone

Twilight of the GovCorp Conspiracy Theorists

" . . . businesses are now subject to extensive geopolitical demands: 95 percent of respondents said that they expect companies to act in response to Russia’s unprovoked invasion by publicly speaking out, applying political and economic pressure or exiting the aggressor country’s market. “When businesses shut down in Russia they were not making that decision about Russia alone,” said Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, who argues that withdrawal from Russia was a message to all authoritarian regimes, and an implicit acknowledgment that they may be forced to withdraw from other markets. . .

Spaceflight fools
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Sorry, Spaceflight fuels. I just heard Fusion is being pushed back a few decades. Not even accounting for the singularity. But that's no matter - todays tried and tested systems will do for all the scientific exploring that's required. Anyone posturing about rocket fuels as some sort of ecological disaster probably needs psychiatric attention. They're like those rolled-gold frauds raving and ranting about Btc burning up oceans. In the spirit of accepting 'reinforcements from the future ' I suggest quantum-computing combined with strong AI will help us upload ourselves and that will, in turn, greatly assist the effort to spread out in this galaxy and colonize back-up and respawn-points in a sustainable and defensible manner. Gassing wilderness planets just so meatspace humanity can pollute new worlds is the losers play. An enders game. But youse knew that.
