Many of these folks have started to see how Nexus and blockchain technology can benefit them, their industries, and humankind. The blockchain is rapidly becoming a new shift in technological advancement that is paving the way of the future and also providing real world solutions to economic uncertainty that the world is facing. Several of the industries actively working with Nexus to create real-world solutions using blockchain include insurance, real-estate, politics, music, finance, media, entertainment, and many more. In attendance were medical cannabis advocates, people seeking to find solutions to India’s currency dilemma, individuals working to understand the future of cryptocurrency and finance, and many that have been working to change the world their entire lives. They finally had a chance to speak with others of the same mindset and to start to look at how we all can provide solutions to the challenges we face now and will face in the future. Never before has such a diverse group of individuals come together in one place to make such an impact on humanity through sharing of their wisdom and ideas. http://www.nexusearth.com/ Nexus seeks to Free humankind from centralized systems. Merely being decentralized is not enough. We must decentralize the decentralization. Using software and hardware, Nexus seeks to build the foundation for the most decentralized system to ever be developed: Nexus Earth. This network will empower everyone from the first world to the third world. Not everyone has money, but everyone has time. The time has come to decentralize everything. The foundations of cryptocurrency should be built upon decentralized principles. Nexus seeks to fulfill this mission.

Public Money, Public Code.

Public Money, Public Code. # https://publiccode.eu Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software? We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software license. If it is public money, it should be public code as well. Code paid by the people should be available to the people! ------- "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life.

mesh networking
by \0xDynamite 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

So.... regarding the revolution you guys have been making (last seen c.1996), there are a few of us building out and thinking about how the true "freedom-lover" (a*archist) can stay less dependent of commercial and state dependencies. Byzantium and other mesh networking projects show much promise, allowing scalign to metropolitan-radius levels with only a few dozen or less participants. A few other dozen backbones with higher power levels up 100W would cover a whole continent. I've worked out a power equation which should be both functional and "under the radar" to power-that-be. The key insight is knowing that you can attenuate your signal at twice the radius that you're attempting to broadcast. In this way you keep the "heat map" of your network WELL under the background radiation of most metropolitan cities. P (in Watts) =((radius in meters)^(1/4)). This is the maximum power for licensed operation in a given range. So if you have 10 units operating in that range, you must divde the number by 10 to get any *individual* transmitter power limit. For unlicensed operation, you may have to divide this number by 2 unless you're using a public band set aside (like CB radio). It would be interesting if someone could do some dimensional analysis on this equation as it relates volts and amps to distance in space, which I find intriguing. So that means a mesh network with a granularity of a mile should be about 3W per transmitter. In theory, you should be able to receive at this level if your tuning is fine enough.

[MINISTRY] pre-crime being handled in NSW Australia — [jim.sovereign@optusnet.com.au: Lawyers abhor NSW secret police plan]
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Nov '17

The “glorious state” in action... applying 'intensive policing' to children as young as 10, in order to deter "potential future crimes". Of course, why didn't we realise - intensive policing of young children is simply the best way to deter future crime, so simple it's amazing. NSW Police - building -better- relationships with the community … … or something Here I was thinking America was more fascist than Australia. ----- Forwarded message from Jim <jim.sovereign(a)optusnet.com.au> ----- Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2017 18:00:34 +1100 Subject: Lawyers abhor NSW secret police plan It seems NSW police are trying to take the title away from the QLD police as the most corrupt and fascist police force in the country. Jim Lawyers abhor NSW secret police plan The Australian Australian Associated Press November 6, 2017 Australian human rights lawyers are scathing of a NSW policing program found to be disproportionately targeting young people as young as 10 along with Aboriginal youth. A report prepared by the Youth Justice Coalition uncovered half of the total targets of a NSW Police's Suspect Target Management Program were under 25 while 44 per cent were indigenous. The report claims the program allows police to place people, including minors and those never found guilty of an offence, on a list alongside known offenders all of whom are then targeted for intensive policing in a bid to deter future criminal activity. Australian Lawyers for Human Rights says the program punishes people based on the assumption they may one day commit a crime. "Once placed on this list a person is subjected to intensive policing practices such as being repeatedly stopped on the street and searched and having police officers regularly visit their home to request that they present," ALHR vice president Kerry Weste said in a statement on Monday. "Intensively policing people who have never been convicted of any offence based on secretive algorithms is inconsistent with fundamental human rights and rule of law principles such as the presumption of innocence." ALHR also criticised the program's lack of transparency and governing legislation to hold it accountable. "Moreover, persons subjected to the program are prevented from accessing the reasons for their inclusion or information as to how they can ever be removed from it," Ms Weste said. The group has called on the NSW government to find a more "responsible alternative". However a spokeswoman for NSW Police says the program is targeted at recidivist criminal offenders to prevent them from committing crimes. "A thorough risk management framework is used to ensure the NSW Police Force is targeting the right people at the right times to reduce violence and crime in the community," NSW Police said in a statement on Monday. "While deliberately engaged by police, STMP nominees are treated with respect and tolerance, but they are reminded that the community will not tolerate criminal behaviour." http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/latest-news/lawyers-abhor-nsw-secret-p… ----- End forwarded message -----
