@DeShindig @cavicchioli Austerità = tagli a scuola sanità universitá ricerca pensioni ecc. Si fa ogni anno da una 30a di anni.

Dicono "torna l'austerity" Ma quando mai c'è stata?

Bitcoin’s quantum defenses are progressing fast. In the last 2 days, two major quantum-related updates came out for Bitcoin. One prototype lets users recover their funds if quantum computers break current signatures. Another proposal shows Bitcoin transactions can be made quantum-safe without changing the protocol.

@KutarkV @aakashgupta Price is fixed at contract start. Price raises can be for NEW contracts. Is your salary going up whenever you want? No. Same for Netflix.

If I were Netflix I'd just cancel 100% of every person's subscription's based in those countries, refund them pro rata, and then tell them to eat a fat cock. Sick of this euro-commie bullshit, as long as they notify you sufficiently ahead of time, you can cancel the service if you're unhappy with a rate change. This forced pricing garbage is just more anticapitalist leftist control schemes sold under the guise of "protecting the consumers".

The math Italy just handed Netflix is terrifying for every subscription company on Earth. 5.4 million Italian subscribers. Up to €500 per Premium user, €250 per Standard user. Netflix launched in Italy at €11.99/month in 2015 and hiked four times to €19.99 by 2024. The court said every single increase was illegal because the contract never stated a justified reason for any of them. The total refund exposure is somewhere in the hundreds of millions of euros. For a single country with ~2% of Netflix's 325 million global subscribers. Here's what nobody is pricing in: Germany and Spain have already filed identical challenges using the same EU Directive from 1993. Berlin and Cologne courts already ruled that generic price-change clauses are void. Italy just gave every consumer group in Europe a finished legal template. Netflix hiked prices globally on March 26. Six days later, this ruling dropped. The company is now simultaneously raising prices worldwide while a court in its fourth-largest European market ordered it to roll prices back to 2015 levels. The real exposure here isn't Italy. Netflix can absorb hundreds of millions. The real exposure is the legal principle: telling customers "we're raising your price, you can cancel if you don't like it" is not consent under EU law. That logic applies to every subscription service operating in Europe. Every SaaS company. Every streaming platform. Every telecom. The freedom to cancel is not the freedom to agree. That one sentence just repriced the entire European subscription economy.

Nigeria is ranked #1 in global USDT and USDC ownership. Not the US. Not the UK. Not Singapore. Nigeria. 59% of Nigerian crypto users hold USDT. 48% hold USDC. More than any other country surveyed. India is third. Brazil close behind. The reason is obvious once you see it: in countries where local currency loses 20–40% of value annually, stablecoins aren't a crypto product. They're a savings account. A dollar-denominated store of value that doesn't require a US bank account. Here's what the data doesn't show: most of those stablecoin holders can't use their USDT to buy anything. No merchant acceptance. No subscription billing. No automatic payment. No way to pay a supplier. They hold the dollars. They can't spend the dollars. They convert back to fiat every time they need to transact. The gap between stablecoin adoption and stablecoin utility is most visible not in San Francisco or Singapore. It's in Lagos, Jakarta, São Paulo. $308B in circulation. The people who need stablecoin commerce most have the fewest tools to access it. That's not a distribution problem. That's an infrastructure problem. The rails exist everywhere. The billing layer doesn't exist anywhere. That's who we're building for.

🚨 Georgia House Governmental Affairs CENSORED my Dominion backdoor public testimony—10 seconds SLICED OUT mid-sentence! That's the EXACT part exposing the truth they wanted hidden. Timestamps prove it. Everyone in the room heard it. ON RECORD. So I recovered the full audio, watch and listen to what someone doesn't want to be ON NOTICE of. WHO ORDERED THE CUT??? #ElectionIntegrity #WhoOrderedTheCut Georgians, in fact ALL CITIZENS, make sure EVERYONE sees this post.

🤯BREAKING: Alibaba just proved that AI Coding isn't taking your job, it's just writing the legacy code that will keep you employed fixing it for the next decade. 🤣 Passing a coding test once is easy. Maintaining that code for 8 months without it exploding? Apparently, it’s nearly impossible for AI. Alibaba tested 18 AI agents on 100 real codebases over 233-day cycles. They didn't just look for "quick fixes"—they looked for long-term survival. The results were a bloodbath: 75% of models broke previously working code during maintenance. Only Claude Opus 4.5/4.6 maintained a >50% zero-regression rate. Every other model accumulated technical debt that compounded until the codebase collapsed. We’ve been using "snapshot" benchmarks like HumanEval that only ask "Does it work right now?" The new SWE-CI benchmark asks: "Does it still work after 8 months of evolution?" Most AI agents are "Quick-Fix Artists." They write brittle code that passes tests today but becomes a maintenance nightmare tomorrow. They aren't building software; they're building a house of cards. The narrative just got honest: Most models can write code. Almost none can maintain it.

BREAKING: AI can now analyze stocks like Wall Street analysts (for free). Here are 10 insane Claude prompts that replace $2,000/month Bloomberg terminals (Save for later)

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just rebuilt the entire AI assistant stack in Zig. It's called NullClaw. The binary is 678 KB. It uses ~1 MB of RAM. It boots in under 2 milliseconds. No runtime. No VM. No framework. No garbage collector. Just raw Zig. Here's why this is absurd: → OpenClaw needs a $599 Mac Mini and 1 GB+ RAM → NanoBot needs 100 MB+ RAM and Python → PicoClaw needs 10 MB RAM and Go NullClaw runs on a $5 board with 1 MB of RAM. Same functionality. 0.1% of the resources. Here's what's packed into that 678 KB: → 22+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, DeepSeek, Groq, etc.) → 13 chat channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, IRC) → 18+ built-in tools → Hybrid vector + keyword memory search → Multi-layer sandboxing (Landlock, Firejail, Docker) → Hardware peripheral support (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32) → MCP, subagents, streaming, voice, the full stack Here's the wildest part: Every subsystem is a vtable interface. Swap any provider, channel, tool, memory backend, or runtime with a config change. Zero code changes. It even encrypts your API keys with ChaCha20-Poly1305 by default. 2,738 tests. ~45,000 lines of Zig. Zero dependencies beyond libc. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

🚨MUAMMAR GADDAFI’S SON SAIF AL-ISLAM GADDAFI ASSASSINATED Who did it? Our sources on the ground in Libya told us that they suspect that British intelligence used local proxies to assassinate the man seen by many as the one who could reunite Libya, 15 years after NATO bombed Libya into a failed state during their campaign to kill Muammar Gaddafi. We also know that France has deep motives in Libya, we know from Wikileaks cables that France wanted a ‘greater share in Libya’s oil production’ in 2011, and Sarkozy was negotiating to reserve as much as 35% of Libya’s oil production. We know that the US, UK, and France feared Muammar Gaddafi’s plan for a pan-African Gold Dinar currency, as well as his promoting of pan-African unity, a legacy inherited by Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi. Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi spent years campaigning across Libya to stand in perpetually postponed elections, and was seen by many as the most likely candidate to win any Presidential election. He even had support from tribes that originally fought against his father in 2011. Watch now as the US, UK, and France start to steamroll ahead with the long-delayed elections in Libya, now that the one leading candidate who would have united Libya, and not followed their orders to allow Libya to be a de facto colony that is perpetually looted for its oil reserves, is now dead.

@paulg What about the huge amount of data that must travel back and forth from Earth? Bandwidth?

I met today with the founder of Starcloud and I realized this is going to be one of the biggest engineering projects of our era. When you look at the tradeoffs, it seems inevitable that all the GPUs are going to live in space.

@IstLiberale Solo in USA ci sono gli schiavi e sono i pazienti in balia delle assocurazioni private. Per fortuna in Italia la sanità è un diritto Costituzionale. Ma i medici non lavorano gratis. Anzi sono pagati e pure bene. Informatevi prima di scrivere baggianate. Studiate.

La sanità non è un diritto. Non hai il diritto di esigere il lavoro dei dottori. Rendere le persone tue schiave non è compatibile con la libertà e la democrazia.

@IstLiberale @Mic2125 Solo in USA ci sono gli schiavi e sono i pazienti in balia delle assocurazioni private. Per fortuna in Italia la sanità è un diritto Costituzionale. Ma i medici non lavorano gratis. Anzi sono pagati e pure bene. Informatevi prima di scrivere baggianate. Studiate.

@Mic2125 È satira dire che i diritti non ti consentono di comandare cosa le persone debbano fare per te?

EXPLOSIVE: Biden’s deep state PROVOKED a PREVENTABLE war in Ukraine. In a prank call, Biden’s Europe chief Sloat admits: 1) US knew just a “no NATO” statement from Ukraine would prevent war 2) US blocked it to avoid “rewarding” Russia & bet on Ukraine retaking territory by force.

ULTIME NOTIZIE🚨 QUESTA È UNA BOMBA. La truffa energetica ucraina da 100 milioni di dollari era solo spiccioli. Il vero tesoro era nella scrivania di Yermak: 2,6 miliardi di dollari in registrazioni di trasferimenti offshore, 14 milioni di dollari in contanti e passaporti stranieri per sé e per il lurido verme tossico #Zelensky🇺🇦💩 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I’ve had many conversations with very intelligent folks about this issue. Too many think this way: “I don’t care what country wins at robots. What difference does it make to me?” I’ll ask the question again when they look out the window and there’s 1000 of these in the street.

The last Italian to openly collaborate with the Nazis ended strung up in the Piazzale Loreto in Milan. You might want to chew on that fact for a while the next time you visit the whoremonger and sex trafficker, Vitali Kitschko, in Kiev. I’d also advise you to learn a little about the CIA before challenging Mr. Sachs or anyone about the events of 2014 in Ukraine. You know—the agency that bought cheap Italian politicians like you for decades, ensuring you do the bidding of your American Daddy. We know who and what you are. And we know you and your ilk cannot hold a candle to the likes of Jeffrey Sachs.

There you go, the concrete manifestation of why the Dutch government's theft of Nexperia (pressured by the US) was such a profoundly dumb move: they're literally bringing the entire European auto industry to a halt. A reminder of what happened here: - Back in June, the US told the Dutch that they would roll out a new anti-China extraterritorial legislation, whereby any subsidiary company of a Chinese company sanctioned by them would automatically be sanctioned too. They said that this rule would apply to Nexperia, a semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Holland acquired in 2018 for $3.6 billion by Chinese company Wingtech Technology, which sanctioned by the US since December 2024. Nexperia is a major EU company with over 12,000 employees, supplying much of the EU auto industry with chips. The US told the Dutch that the only way Nexperia could escape the sanctions was to get rid the Chinese. I'm not making any of that up, it was all reported in the Financial Times: ft.com/content/db0198… - The Dutch prepared a legal strategy to get rid of the Chinese in Nexperia and, when the US finally did roll out their new rule in the very end of September (bis.gov/press-release/…), the Dutch almost simultaneously moved to seize Nexperia away from the Chinese. "Seizure" is the right term here: they they suspended the Chinese CEO from his position, appointed a non-Chinese director on the board with decisive voting rights and expropriated the company's shares by placing them under management by a third-party trustee. All under a law called the "Goods Availability Act" (government.nl/latest/news/20…), which is an emergency wartime legislation designed for things like the requisition of bread or fuel during a foreign invasion. - A couple of days later, China responded by putting export controls on Nexperia, banning the company from exporting products made in China, which I understand is the immense majority of their supply chain. In effect, this completely cripples the company. - And now 👇, sure enough, the entire European auto industry is saying that they will face "significant disruption if the interruption of Nexperia chips cannot be immediately resolved." And the big loser here, obviously, is again Europe. Not only it's getting one of its flagship tech companies destroyed, but it's also bringing down the entire European auto industry in the process. All for what? All to please "daddy" Trump. As I wrote on day 1 (x.com/RnaudBertrand/…), this new US extraterritorial legislation could have finally been an opportunity for the EU to assert its strategic autonomy by putting a line in the sand and issue a statement like this: "Nexperia is a European company subject to European law. It operates under Dutch jurisdiction, employs 14,000 people globally with major operations in Europe, and serves critical European industries. The United States does not get to unilaterally determine what a Dutch company can do simply because it dislikes the nationality of the shareholders. We ask that Wingtech provide binding commitments: R&D investment continues, European jobs are protected, and all operations comply with EU law. In exchange, we will shield Nexperia from extraterritorial US sanctions that violate our sovereignty." If it had done that, Europe would have positioned itself as a genuine independent player, demonstrated that European property rights are real and that Europe is committed to protecting foreign assets, even from the U.S. But no, the message it sent instead is: "Sorry guys but if Washington decides it doesn't like your nationality, we'll seize your assets" And by doing so, not only they're killing the assets in question, but the most important industry on the continent too. Calling this "dumb" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Update on Our Current Situation As some of you may have seen already, WAI has been removed from YouTube. Someone out there wants us to go down. To that someone I’d like to reply: You will not succeed. You will not win and we will prevail stronger and more motivated than ever before to spread the word about spaceflight and the greatest transformation in human history. I’m collaborating closely with @TeamYouTube right now to uncover what went wrong and restore our channel as quickly as possible. This serves as a poignant reminder that hate has no place in the spaceflight community. Those who spread negativity or target creators across platforms should be firmly excluded from our shared spaces. By allowing hate to take root, we risk causing real harm to everyone involved. I started this channel because I was and am enthusiastic and hopeful about a better future for humanity. This motivation is what carried the entire team for six years, and guess what! We’re not done yet! 🔥 A heartfelt thank you to all of you for the overwhelming wave of support pouring in through emails and DM’s. The entire WAI team is truly grateful. You truly are the most incredible community out there! I’ll keep everyone posted on our progress. Love, Felix & Team ❤️

@TeamYouTube @FelixSchlang You should 1) CHECK CAREFULLY 2) COLLECT EVIDENCE of wrongdoing 3) SHOW EVIDENCE of wrongdoing 4) ASK for explanations 5) EVALUATE 6) DECIDE 7) JUSTIFY your decisions with reference to rules and evidence That's how it works in the real world.

@FelixSchlang We've sent you a DM to get more details and connect you to a team who can help with your concern

This is nuts. @TeamYouTube has just disabled our ability to live stream 5 minutes before the launch. WAI is not allowed to live stream again. They’re saying I’m not old enough…
