Do open-source software & public key cryptography have a potential to change people's perception of key management & storage? 🔐 Not long time ago, only you owned physical keys when buying a vehicle. It has changed a bit with digitalization & smart key technology. Now, emergency keys (in form of codes) are forcibly shared & stored somewhere on company's servers. How safe are they? Where are they stored? Is it a centralized database? Shouldn't it be an opt-in option? #asknostr #nostr #keys #lock #unlock #knowledge #digital #evolution

Grounded. How Corrupt Officials Monopolize Turkmenistan’s Aviation Sector - turkmen.news

Why are flights to and from Turkmenistan so expensive? The answer is simple: Turkmenistan’s aviation was taken over by corrupt officials.

Bullish case: 1. Real estate degraded to utility value (not speculation & capital protection). 2. Energy coming from nuclear fusion reactors. (sovereignty & advantage for those who posess knowledge, not resources) Result: weaker pressure to acquire new lands (resources & land are limited) ==> less wars #study #learn #explore #nostr

"By 8 October 2020, state-owned media (in Vietnam) reported Minister Nguyen Manh Hung as saying that the rate of tech companies’ compliance with the removal of “bad information, propaganda against the Party and the State” reached the highest level ever. The same article reported that in 2020, Facebook removed 2,036 posts – a 500% increase compared to 2019, complying with 95% of the government's requests whereas YouTube complied with 90% of all requests." "In August 2020, Thailand’s Minister of Digital Economy reportedly threatened legal action against Facebook and accused it of not complying with government requests to restrict content deemed illegal, including alleged insults to the Thai monarchy”. Soon afterward, Facebook revealed that it had taken the decision to shut down “Royalist Marketplace”, a pro-democracy Facebook group critical of the Thai monarchy, but said that it planned to challenge the decision in court, without specifying further details." #censorship #BigTech #comply #report #data #nostr Source:
