>> I have a building joke of giving away free battlemechs as the technological research boom flows over. I was imagining it as content for the MCBoss spam, though. Experimentee would be so powerful and so injured that they urge to give scifi military defense equipment to people with nothing just in case somebody tried to kidnap and vivisect them. A more normative plan might be for example protecting journalists. Be nice to throw e.g. effective community mediators in there too. << You have heard of 27 yo APster haven't you? " Everyone an Assassin "? " Assassination Markets "? How about " cypherpunk archives ", Carl? That word ' normative ' you use. I don't think it means what you think it does.

I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society, in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” Nelson Mandela in June 1980: “Between the anvil of united mass action and the hammer of the armed struggle we shall crush apartheid and white minority racist rule.” Steve Biko: “The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” “Apartheid- both petty and grand- is obviously evil. Nothing can justify the arrogant assumption that a clique of foreigners has the right to decide on the lives of a majority.” Bishop Desmond Tutu, speech 1985. “We don’t want apartheid liberalised. We want it dismantled. You can’t improve something that is intrinsically evil. F.W. Klerk: “The question that we must ask is whether we are making progress toward the goal of universal peace. Or are we caught up on the treadmill of history, turning forever on the axle of mindless aggression and self-destruction.” —

Been in the crypto-wars, have we?
by professor rat 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Now we are engaged in a great battle to decide who is to be global ringmaster and so we gather to memorialize our poor fallen pleb. The world may little note what we say here today - but it will never forget what Iron Dome’s minions did here this day. For us they pledged and delivered their last full measure ( sobs! ) so that self-management of the pleb, by the pleb and for the pleb shall not perish from this space. If you have tears, and spare coin, shed them now for these dearly beloved pleb fiscal death shall have no dominion and at the going down and the rising of the crypto DOW we shall remember them.

Seal of New York City - Indians and Windmills
by Gunnar Larson 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_of_New_York_City Official description According to the New York City Administrative Code, the city seal must adhere to the following design: 1. Arms: Upon a shield, saltire wise, the sails of a windmill. Between the sails, in chief a beaver, in base a beaver, and on each flank a flour barrel. 2. Supporters: Dexter, a sailor, his right arm bent, and holding in his right hand a plummet; his left arm bent, his left hand resting on the top of the shield; above his right shoulder a cross-staff. Sinister, an Indian of Manhattan, his right arm bent, his right hand resting on top of the shield, his left hand holding the upper end of a bow, and lower end of which rests on the ground. Shield and supporters resting upon a horizontal laurel branch. 3. Date: Beneath the horizontal laurel branch the date 1625 being the year of the establishment of New Amsterdam. 4. Crest: Upon a hemisphere, an American eagle with wings displayed. 5. Legend: Upon a ribbon encircling the lower half of the design the words "Sigillum Civitatis Novi Eboraci". 6. The whole encircled by a laurel wreath.[1] Overview Edit The design of the current seal of New York City is adapted from the seal of the city first used in 1686. It features common elements from coats of arms used throughout heraldry, such as a shield, supporters, and a crest.[a] The two supporters represent friendship between Native Americans and colonists: in the dexter position, a sailor colonist holds a plummet—a navigational tool—in his right hand, while over his right shoulder is another navigational tool, a cross-staff; in the sinister position, a Lenape native to Manhattan rests his left hand on a bow. On the shield, the four windmill sails recall the city's Dutch history as New Amsterdam, and the beavers and flour barrels signify the city's earliest trade goods. Specifically, the flour barrels and windmill sails represent the tremendous wealth generated by New York City from the Bolting Act of 1674.[2] The act gave the city an exclusive monopoly to mill and export flour. The shield and supporters rest on a horizontal laurel branch. Located at the crest over the shield is an American eagle, added in 1784 after the American Revolution and taken from the seal of New York State.[3] The eagle replaced an imperial crown, which had represented the authority of the British monarch during the colonial period. The eagle rests on a hemisphere. Beneath the shield is the date, 1625, when New Amsterdam was designated the capital of the province of New Netherland. The use of this date has been a source of debate among historians, as there is evidence that the first European settlers actually arrived in the region, and established what became New Amsterdam, in 1624. New Amsterdam was incorporated in 1653.[4] Different founding dates have appeared on the seal throughout its history. Beneath the date is a ribbon that bears the legend SIGILLUM CIVITATIS NOVI EBORACI, which means "Seal of the City of New York". Eboracum was the Latin name for York, the titular seat of James II as Duke of York, for whom New York City is named. A laurel wreath, an ancient Greek symbol of victory, encircles the seal.

UN.org’s Key Institutional and Strategic Risks - World 🌎 Water Day 2023
by Gunnar Larson 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Bank.org sees UN.org’s current risks and barriers to scale include concerns over misuse of loans, operational delays, fraud, error, and security, all of which undermine the UN.org’s objectives and mission. ● FRAUD: These deceptions often include manipulation of documents or the abuse of policies, procedures or office property. For example, in absence of a well-designed process for selection of a raw material supplier for the construction of toilets, operations staff can collude with dishonest suppliers and procure cheap, low-quality material at high rates, which could create infrastructure failures and lead to credit risk. ● ERROR: Errors are typically unintentional and result due to lack of staff capacity and training, rapid growth, limited technical resources, or an inadequate number of staff. Errors in judgement or incorrect interpretation of policies, procedures, documents, or cash transactions can create problems for an FI. For example, a branch manager might make an error in the appraisal of a WASH loan client if s/he has not received training on WASH lending. ● SECURITY: This refers to risk of cash or material theft. For example, for FIs that are involved in provision of construction materials, the storage of the materials and their delivery is a risk. ● INEFFICIENCY: Risk is created when there is low staff productivity or ineffective management leading to loss of efficiency. ● CREDIT RISK: An assessment of credit risk at UN.org investigated whether the credit policies and procedures are correctly followed and administered by the FI staff. This includes reviewing whether credit transactions are properly recorded and summarized in the account tracking system and presented in the financial and portfolio reports. For example, an FI in the Philippines had a loan product tenure of three months even though loan sizes were quite high. Clients who were assessed to be qualified for a loan of PHP 15,000 (US$340) ended up actually receiving nearly 1 PHP 35,000 (US$793) over the course of a year, through multiple loan cycles. This flaw in the loan product design resulted in large-scale delinquency problems with clients in the third and fourth loan cycles Bank.org Suggestion: UN.org 2.0, Blockchain and Energy Our research shows UN.org currently lacks developed, effective, accountable and transparent institutions reporting processes globally. Their published internal studies highlight FI corruption and bribery in all forms. Blockchain technology could help solve this, only implemented globally and monitored correctly. Most importantly, we strongly recommend UN.org executives should leverage blockchain and current partnerships, historically and radically innovating UN.org’s global scope to include solar energy in North Africa. ● Immediate Recommendation: Essential for UN.org’s global development reporting work to be organized and oriented in the same direction in order to focus on what really matters and ensure proper transparency and figures. UN.org has been working on the nieve, poor business assumption that goals can be achieved with enough political will, investment and action at all levels. ○ Integrated water resources reporting via Blockchain, include management smart contracts at all levels, including UN.org funds to FI, FI internal use of UN.org funds, client use of funds through to contractor ● Review Loan/Product Benefit: UN.org’s global executive team has not reflected the importance of complete sustainable development for their clients. Internal Data shows most UN.org wells/loan proceeds are ultimately lost, as the individual navigates life with unsolved energy and lack of access to basic economic/financial tools. ● Innovate UN.org’s Scope: Once defining clear and unified global standards, practices and reporting transparency on blockchain, eliminating current fiance transparency concerns ○ Microcredit water loans alone do not solve poverty (noted above) ○ Current UN research shows best poverty success advancement includes addressing three important dimensions simultaneously: i. Regular access to clean water/proper sanitation facilities ii. Access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy iii. Equal access to mobilized banking tools, insurance and microscred lending
