@whatwindfall @UAPresearcher @pgrous @diigo You expressed it just fine. And I have some idea... my data goes back to 2011, and it would cause me no end of grief to lose it. "In general, I don't trust any cloud services. I keep backups of linkedin contacts, tweets, etc." madmode.com/2021/closet-li…

@UAPresearcher @pgrous @diigo The server wasn't down when I tried it. Just DNS / certificate. It's still possible to get the data.

@Siddhant_K_code Couldn't agree more: "we need systems that constrain what agents can do in the first place. Least-privilege access, scoped tokens, audit trails" colleagues @marksammiller @kriskowal are starting a project to do just that: dcfoundation.io/foresight-inst…

🔥🧵 This is what decentralized cooperation looks like in action. An Afghan startup is using blockchain to deliver aid to 86,000+ families, proving that technology built on principles of decentralization can create real-world impact where it matters most.

I forgot to bring a #mask, but I've gotten them from Made in #KC here at the airport before. No joy. Maybe another shop, suggests the clerk... Or failing that, the airline. No joy and no joy. @amricanairlines , do better. It's not over. #publichealth #travel #mci

Breaking: @CFPB's new rule will remove ALL medical debt from credit reports! This is a huge win for the 1 in 5 Americans with medical debt on their credit reports. No one should have their financial future damaged because they got sick. 🎉

3/ AI breakthroughs like AlphaFold wouldn’t be possible without decades of work on datasets. e.g., AlphaFold was trained on protein structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), which took 50+ years and ~$20 *billion* to create. This is the kind of foundational effort AI needs.

What do these headlines have in common? - 81,000 firewall boxes compromised by a zero-day - a $250 embedded AI board with network connectivity The Linux security architecture; that is: ACLs and unverified, unsafe code. Not just insecure but insecurable.

@Jovonni from Agoric presenting @agoric <> @SecretNetwork integration for confidential trading strategies using Agoric orchestration and Secret confidential contracts, at #DeCC day in Bangkok. Imagine the power of confidential on-chain trading strategies, from a simple DCA to complex algorithms - free from frontrunning or copycats.

@gadikian @Msdms99 @osmosis I'd be happy to get you started in office hours sometime. docs.agoric.com has the coordinates, as well as getting-started stuff. Any particular widgets you have though of making with our smart contract platform?

@d4m1n @pavelsvitek_ everybody. JSON is ubiquitous. everybody is a stakeholder. We JSON5 and superjson etc. etc. etc. in various communities. But getting everybody to agree to something better is, evidently, a losing game.

@d4m1n It's clear why we need trees of some sort, yes? lisp/scheme didn't win out for web scripting, so S-expressions didn't win. perl/python/ruby/etc. all had lists and dicts. So here we are. It could have been much worse.
