🆔 DC4EU final report proposes pluralistic trust model to realise EUDI Wallet vision

Trump kondigt op laatste moment wapenstilstand met Iran aan: 'Wereld haalt even opgelucht adem'

Trump kondigt op laatste moment wapenstilstand in Iran aan: 'Wereld haalt opgelucht adem'
De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump is vannacht teruggekomen van zijn dreigement dat 'een hele beschaving zal sterven'. Trumps ultimatum voor Iran liep om 02.00 uur af. Kort voordat het zover was, kondigde Trump een wapenstilstand aan. Iran zou met een 'werkbaar' tienpuntenplan zijn gekomen. "Trump moest wel een uitweg vinden", zegt correspondent Erik Mouthaan.

So Trump lost this war with Iran he started and the rest of the world pays the price. Freedom of navigation has been given up in Hormuz, we pay a million per vessel. Iran has a very strong negotiating position, will play for time , acquire weapons, reinforce/rebuild, surpress the Iranian people, I am forgetting anything?

> For the Tunguska, a Soviet-era anti-aircraft platform that is also fixed at the facility, and for Soviet T-72 tanks used by Ukraine, engineers visited the Bovington tank museum in Dorset to look over versions of the vehicles on display there and work out how they could manufacture spare parts in the UK

Revealed: the Ukrainian facility where UK engineers help fix vital weapons
Exclusive: MoD-contracted workers assisting Ukrainians in a way ‘no other nation has been willing to do’, says minister

Given the increasing insanity of trump-hogsbreath and the increasing use of ever more powerful weapons (including rumors that they are now considering nuclear ones) it strikes me as possible, or even likely, that covert agencies and groups in countries around the world are considering ways to decapitate the US executive department.
Moreover, I suspect that in the minds of those countries and agencies these kinds of acts would likely to be considered as defensive prophylactics rather th…

I explained something for a friend in a simple way, and I think it's worth paraphrasing again here.
You cannot create a system that constrains itself. Any constraint on a system must be external to the system, or that constraint can be ignored or removed. That's just how systems work. Every constitution for every country claims to do this impossible thing, a thing proven is impossible almost 100 years ago now. Gödel's loophole has been known to exist since 1947.
Every constitution in the world, every "separation of powers" and set of "checks and balances," attempts to do something which is categorically impossible. Every government is always, at best, a few steps away from authoritarianism. From this, we would then expect that governments trand towards authoritarianism. Which, of course, is what we see historically.
Constraints on power are a formality, because no real controls can possibly exist. So then democratic processes become sort of collective classifiers that try to select only people who won't plunge the country into a dictatorship. Again, because this claim of restrictions on powers is a lie (willful or ignorant, a lie reguardless) that classifier has to be correct 100% of the time (even assuming a best case scenario). That's statistically unlikely.
So as long as you have a system of concentrated power, you will have the worst people attracted to it, and you will inevitably have that power fall into the hands of one of the worst possible person.
Fortunately, there is an alternative. The alternative is to not centralize power. In the security world we try to design systems that assume compromise and minimize impact, rather than just assuming that we will be right 100% of the time. If you build systems that maximially distribute power, then you minimize the impact of one horrible person.
Now, I didn't mention this because we're both already under enough stress, but...
Almost 90% of the nuclear weapons deployed around the world are in the hands of ghoulish dictators. Only two of the countries with nuclear weapons not straight up authoritarian, but they're not far off. We're one crashout away from steralizing the surface of the Earth with nuclear hellfire. Maybe countries shouldn't exist, and *definitely* multiple thousands of nuclear weapons shouldn't exist and shouldn't all be wired together to launch as soon as one of these assholes goes a bit too far sideways.

Casualties and destruction were reported across at least nine countries,
with the United Arab Emiratesrecording a total of 186 missiles and 812 drones sent toward the country since the start of the conflict

causing a fire to break out.
The strike came as the state department urged that all US citizens leave more than a dozen Middle…
