The Handbook on the Ratification and Implementation of the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression to the Rome Statute of the ICC
by Gunnar Larson 30 Apr '22

30 Apr '22

Never has humanity had a permanent international court with the authority to hold individuals accountable for their decisions to commit aggression. Now we do. In New York in 2017, States Parties to the Rome Statute made the historic decision to enable the ICC to prosecute the crime of aggression – marking the first time that humanity has had a permanent international court with the authority to hold individuals accountable for their decisions to commit the worst forms of the illegal use of force. The ICC's jurisdiction over the crime of aggression went into effect on 17 July 2018, which also marked the 20th anniversary of the Rome Statute. For reference, find 60 highlights to the handbook underscoring modern thought on the crime of aggression: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aHeW9WHQjcWpmPX7h7YO3YlAEYkSHtQY/view?usp=…

MUSKOVITCH's Achilles heel needs stabbing
by professor rat 30 Apr '22

Tilting Ukraine-wards is such a no-brainer even Julio Assangista has done it. So, sure his good points earn brownie points - Starlingk - batteries Neo - Tin Tin type rockets - boring companies. But no one should forget for one second how this depraved criminal moron is a threat to us all. Once intelligent aliens find out we let him ( and the NASA! WTF!?) plan to despoil and rape a wilderness planet like Mars they could decide we represent a collective threat. Wouldn't you? I would! " Depraved indifference ' only earned the Seinfeld cast a little jail time. It could earn us an extinction event. Elon Musk has richly earned killing ( My 2K ) Self-defense is a legal defense against any murder charge.

Crypto Long & Short: The Trouble With Ticker Symbols
by Gunnar Larson 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Would the real USDP please stand up <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Tell_the_Truth#Basic_rules>? Last month, Paxos, the issuer of the seventh-largest <https://www.coingecko.com/en/stablecoins> stablecoin <https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2020/12/29/what-is-a-stablecoin/> in the $2 trillion global cryptocurrency market, renamed the token, previously called the Paxos standard, to the Paxos dollar. As part of the rebranding, the crypto exchange changed <https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/08/24/paxos-renames-standard-stableco…'> the ticker symbol from PAX to USDP. There was one hitch: Another stablecoin was already using the ticker. Unit Protocol, a decentralized lending platform that went live in February, had been calling its token USDP since at least July of last year, when it published a white paper <https://github.com/unitprotocol/protocol_docs/blob/master/unit_wp.pdf>. For a hot minute it seemed the plucky team was not about to let a bigger rival use the four-letter identifier without a fight. “We are currently disputing Paxos’ trademark application for USDP,” Benjamin Meredith, a representative for Unit Protocol, told CoinDesk on Aug. 27. To show that the original USDP was a known quantity in the market, Meredith pointed to blockchain data <https://etherscan.io/tx/0x381ec163ca4031a142a79e86f9218b3b2e6a56e591b5a1962…> indicating that 138 million units of the token had been minted, each worth just under $1. He also shared writeups on the market data sites CoinGecko <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/usdp> and CoinMarketCap <https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/usdp/> as further evidence this stablecoin was an established asset – even if the Paxos stablecoin’s market cap was 7.5 times larger. As of this writing, however, no formal objection was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In a later email, Meredith said the Unit Protocol team decided to first talk to a Paxos executive. Still later, he said the call didn’t happen. “We’re just going to go along our merry way for the time being,” Meredith said. Paxos, for its part, seemed unwilling to budge when contacted by CoinDesk. “It’s common for projects to share tickers in the cryptocurrency space,” said Paxos spokesperson Becky McClain. “There are dozens of instances of shared qtickers or tickers that share letter strings, and we feel confident these uses are distinguishable and coexist without confusion for consumers.” She did not answer a follow-up question about whether Paxos checked if the ticker was already in use before choosing it. This anticlimactic tale highlights an issue that has come up a handful of times in crypto and may do so more often in the future as the industry grows. Without a standard for exchanges to assign identifiers, investors are apt to get confused. “Tickers are designed to make assets instantly recognizable to clients, so it’s important each ticker refers to a single asset,” said Kevin Beardsley, lead product manager for pro trading at the Kraken exchange. “However, two projects sometimes claim the same symbol, and the winner is mostly decided de facto by the community.” https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/09/05/crypto-long-short-the-trouble-w…
