On Monday, scores of scientists at the National Institutes of Health sent their Trump-appointed leader a letter titled the "Bethesda Declaration"
challenging “policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe.”
It says: “We dissent.”
In a capital where insiders often insist on anonymity to say such things publicly,
92 NIH researchers, program directors, branch chiefs and scientific r…

NIH scientists go public with criticism over Trump cuts
President Donald Trump’s National Institutes of Health director says some employees’ critical letter to him has “fundamental misconceptions about the policy directions the NIH has taken.” Monday’s letter from NIH researchers and staffers says the Republican Trump administration’s policies waste public resources and harm people’s health. NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya in his confirmation hearings pledged openness to views that might conflict with his, saying dissent is the “essenc…

ich bin unter meinem „Klarnamen“¹ öffentlich dagegen, daß die Union andere² verpflichten will, unter ihrem „Klarnamen“¹ zu agieren. Anonyme wie pseudonyme Kommunikation – nicht nur in privaten Chatgruppen sondern auch gegenüber einer nicht klar gestimmten „Öffentlichkeit“ – ist wichtig. Ein Namenszwang schützt überhaupt nicht gegen die ganze Scheiße, die im Netz passiert.

Network Hexagons Under Attack: Secure Crowdsourcing of Geo-Referenced Data
A critical requirement for modern-day Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the ability to collect geo-referenced data from connected vehicles and mobile devices in a safe, secure and anonymous way. The Nexagon protocol, which builds on the IETF Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) and the Hierarchical Hexagonal Clustering (H3) geo-spatial indexing system, offers a promising framework for dynamic, privacy-preserving data aggregation. Seeking to address the critical security and privacy v…

Breaking Anonymity at Scale: Re-identifying the Trajectories of 100K Real Users in Japan
Mobility traces represent a critical class of personal data, often subjected to privacy-preserving transformations before public release. In this study, we analyze the anonymized Yjmob100k dataset, which captures the trajectories of 100,000 users in Japan, and demonstrate how existing anonymization techniques fail to protect their sensitive attributes. We leverage population density patterns, structural correlations, and temporal activity profiles to re-identify the dataset's real-world locatio…

One of the most important lessons I've learned in life / continue to learn / managed to forget is the importance of "stopping." It is so easy for life to become overwhelming with all the things I must do. Work, family, friends, volunteering, community, finances, chores, taking care of my health, the list goes on...
"Life is a very simple thing. We make it more complex." - Anonymous
"When we are making our life more complex, that is precisely the time when we are totally incapable of seeing what we are doing. The more complex our lives are, the more we need to be present to them and, surprisingly, this is exactly the time when we are most distracted. When we are distracted, we tend to have poor judgment and make more mistakes . . . usually adding to the confusion . . . and so it goes."
"....We usually respond by trying to become even more controlling and, eventually (or immediately!), this just makes things worse."
"It's time to stop, take stock, take some deep breaths, rest, listen to others, and regroup...We may miss something. We may even miss something we think is important. That's okay. We're more important."
"Taking time to stop may be just what I need to move ahead."
