[crazy][daydream] EM receptors modeled after the human eye
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

from “is it directional? how cheap could you make a big antenna?” i am not a radio engineer. satellite dishes use the reflection of metal to focus signals onto a receptor. the curved shape behind them is analogous to the lens of the eye, bending the radiation differently depending on what part it strikes. usually they are designed to focus parallel radiation from an effectively infinitely distant source in outer space (with a parabolic shape). they can instead be designed to focus emission from a specific arbitrarily located relative fixed point at a specific arbitrary distance (with a spherical shape). the two curves are physically similar but focus differently. they could also surface soft or hinged material so as to change how they focus live. this would be analogous to how the muscles of the eye reshape the lens so as to focus near or far. similarly you could put an array of sensors at the receptor rather than a single one. high-end radio telescopes do this, outputting a small count of pixels rather than a single signal. these are analogous to the retina, the array of receptors in the back of the eye. once you put two of them next to each other on gymbals, the stereoscopic vision you are making analogy to is possibly what radio astronomers do to triangulate distances from two different locations — but if your reflectir is bending itself to focus on something near rather than far you are doing something a little different.

tracking vehicles with tire pressure sensor emissions [nontechnical]
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

as mentioned i had incredible opportunity recently to attend conference one of the new things is identifying vehicles using wireless tpms sensors i think the work may have trickled up to enforcement and corporate workerd via uc berkelely students unsure, to fight slavery, funded by consumer data gathering venture capital all vehicles made in recent decades using the cheaper “indirect” tire pressure measurement systems constantly broadcast a tire pressure signal unique to the vehicle. occasionally the vin is retrievable but not usually, rather useful data is found via cross-correlation the sensor is small, raspberry-pi-like. they are being deployed with scrubbed PII all over. sorry i don’t have links atm. but the emissions content seemed pretty cool to me.

MIA Coin and POX Kleptocracy: CORRUPTION FIN-2022-A001 - SAR 38(m).
by Gunnar Larson 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

Dear FinCEN: xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC thanks you for sending yesterday's advisory on kleptocracy and foreign public corruption. We have made 30 highlights to the FIN-2022-A001 <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yF3qDQG19J-qN1vUPC36lQfVClq3HPXB/view?usp=…> advisory for reference. *The aim of today's memo is to learn FinCEN's insights into MIA Coin and the consensus algorithm Proof of Transfer (POX). xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC is concerned about potential MIA Coin and City Coin kleptocracy that may be affecting our global enterprise. * *FinCEN may note that NYCCoin is illegal in New York State, given the BitLicense mandate. As such, we are not concerned with NYCCoin's legality given the clear BitLicense mandate. * - On February 4, 2022 we submitted a City of Miami records request for any and all correspondence between the City of Miami concerning CityCoins, MIA Coin and Stacks (STX). Additionally, any and all related correspondence concerning CityCoins, MIA Coin, Stacks (STX), Digital World Acquisition Corp and Harvard Management Company. - Today, April 15, 2022 <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OyVUBq8PcG7SVZ5lUp_oWyL0IDAR5uTP/view?usp=…> we have yet to receive the 13, 092 records. Attached you will find our latest correspondence with Miami, notifying them of our intention to contact FinCEN concerning MIA Coin and POX. - Conducting independent marketplace research, xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC established a premise to potential kleptocracy between the City of Miami and City Coins, of Iceland <https://who.is/whois/citycoins.co> international registration. Furthermore, MineMiamiCoin.com is registered in Germany <https://who.is/whois/minemiamicoin.com>. - Please find the City of Miami's resolution <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IrQwP46alrnQXRxIoXxm8kifZMVTRB_x/view?usp=…>approving gifts from City Coins ... Furthermore, City Coins suggests a $25,000 "reward" <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eb2Q-LZNApwQRyjbBcD5-_yEW0Id51QD/view?usp=…> (that may be confused as bribery) for Mayors who participate. MIA Coin is powered by POX <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wL2kN6aMfsyT-T7g01YJSBB8meMn2SWg/view?usp=…>, a computer protocol that may exploit the U.S. and international financial systems to launder illicit gains, including through the use of shell companies, offshore financial centers, and professional service providers who enable the movement and laundering. MIA Coin' POX protocol is a wealth extraction tool that unfairly rewards an inside group of miners, rewarding patronage networks that benefit his inner circle and regime. These practices harm the competitive landscape of financial markets and often have long-term corrosive effects on good governance, democratic institutions, and human rights standards. FinCEN, we are concerned Miami's City Coin <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IrQwP46alrnQXRxIoXxm8kifZMVTRB_x/view> resolution potentially confirms Miami leaders as kleptocrats, using their position and influence to enrich themselves and their networks of corrupt actors. Finally, we understand that MIA Coin and POX operations are powered by international data warehouses, located in Iceland, Germany and Hong Kong. For these reasons, given FinCEN's alert on kleptocracy and foreign public corruption we kindly seek guidance. Sending you the very best regards.

New bridge linking Türkiye, Greece planned as ties warm | Daily Sabah
by Gunnar Larson 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

https://www.dailysabah.com/business/transportation/new-bridge-linking-turki… New bridge linking Türkiye, Greece planned as ties warm President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (L) and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during their meeting in Athens, Greece, Dec. 7, 2023. (IHA Photo) BY BARIŞ ŞIMŞEKDEC 11, 2023 2:35 PM Türkiye and Greece have reached a consensus to build a second bridge on the Maritsa (Meriç) River, which marks much of the border between the two countries, according to a report Monday. The main bridge spans are planned to be 110-180-110 meters (361-591-361 feet), while the tenders for the Turkish and Greek sides of the project are set out to be put forth separately, the report said. The announcement for the plans on the second bridge connecting two neighbors and historic rivals comes shortly after last week’s visit of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to Athens where the two countries renewed their will to cooperate in several fields, including energy and tourism. Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, who shared details about the new border bridge to be built, said, "It is planned to work according to the short pylon extradosed bridge type with 2x2 lanes on a single deck, while the main bridge spans are planned to be 110-180-110 meters." Uraloğlu stated that the existing Ipsala-Kipi Bridge over the Meriç River was built in 1958 and, after inspections, there was no structural problem with the bridge. However, due to increased heavy vehicle traffic and the concentration of tourists, it was found that the bridge was inadequate. Recalling that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly build a second road border crossing bridge in the Ipsala-Kipi border crossing area to improve the transportation infrastructure connecting the two countries was inked in Athens on Jan. 22, 2004, Uraloğlu detailed the context of the agreement. "In this context, on June 10, 2006, an agreement was signed between Türkiye and Greece for the construction of the Ipsala-Kipi Second Border Crossing Bridge," he said. "In this agreement, it was decided that Greece would undertake the bridge project. On April 4, 2014, a protocol was signed specifying the location and exact place of the bridge and the border crossing bridge plan based on determining the borderline on the map," he explained. "In the meeting held on Feb. 15, 2017, to make evaluations together with the Greek side at the technical level it was decided that the meetings would be in the Joint Planning and Monitoring Project Committee (OPIPK) format," he said. Furthermore, the minister mentioned that this committee held various meetings from 2018 until now. "As a result of the meetings, it was collectively accepted that the clear height between the bridge deck and the river surface should be 10 meters. It was also decided to work according to the short pylon extrados bridge type with 2x2 lanes on a single deck; the main bridge spans were planned to be 110-180-110 meters; and the bridge approach spans were projected to be 44 meters," he noted. "Additionally, it was decided to tender for the construction of the bridge separately for the Greek side and the Turkish side, and to establish a joint inspection group that will supervise both the Greek side contractor and the Turkish side contractor during the construction," he added. Stating that the European E-84 road or D-110 Highway, as a part of the European E-roads network in Türkiye, starts from the Greek border near Ipsala and ends in Silivri, Minister Uraloğlu said, "This line is approximately 180 kilometers with an east-west reference." "The project is set to have its start from the Ipsala customs exit and end at the Kipi customs entrance after 1,500 meters," he informed.
