There are always anarchists beavering away at some local project, not seeking mass recognition but changing lives for the better in low key ways. Widespread anarchist activity can be cyclical. There will be periods of decline and stagnation. There will be periods of advancements. What we do in 2022 and beyond will prepare and propel the movement forward towards Cypherpunk 2027.

Anarchism and the revolution
by professor rat 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

https://anarchistnews.org/content/“anarchism”-just-name ‘“Anarchism” is just a name’. The real movement is so much richer, so much stronger than any dogma or ideology, however rich and strong it may undoubtedly be. But to build this real movement requires ‘the willingness to first hold the truth of where we are and where we have been’; it is through holding these truths, acting on these truths, that we take a step towards the freedom of all.

"Inspired by rich incentives to classify every patient as a COVID-19 victim, Medicare paid hospitals $39,000 per ventilator when treating COVID-19 and only $13,000 for garden variety respiratory infections—hospitals contributed to the deception." also, a lof of that money is looted by US govcorp turds through dollar inflation, and so people all over the world are paying for the bills for US nazi turds.

AP not AP
by professor rat 15 Jan '22

While I don't doubt for a second Assassination Politics will be around long after everyone's long forgotten what " Associated Press " ever was, I prefer the term " APster " as the one adopted collectively here over two decades ago. APster is not only catchy and distinctive but now - post 2017 - it allows us to move past Jim Bell's over inflated influence which is proving increasing problematic in so many areas. Since Bell met with Jeff Berwick its become clear he's now totally Batshit-Crazy and he drags the whole cypherpunk ' brand ' through the mud. Using APster signifies a routing-around of this damage and acceptance of all post-Bell assassination markets. TL/DR " We don need no steenkin' AP badges! "

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

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 :)
