Zoth hacked for nearly $8.3 million, second theft in two weeks
RWA restaking platform Zoth suffered a $8.29 million hack after an attacker gained access to admin privileges that allowed them to modify the platform's smart contracts. The hacker "upgraded" the contract to a malicious version, then withdrew $8.Web3 is Going Just Great
One might think that smart smart contracts are a really dumb idea.
Are they used for anything but extracting money from crypto-bros?
Multiple countries are rethinking buying fighter jets from Lockheed Martin, thanks to the president.
In combination with no longer funding Ukraine, the U.S. defense industry is one of many that will bear the brunt of Trump’s isolationist policies.
An example of why I’m diversifying from a heavily US stocks based portfolio.
Same. It's a headscratcher to me that so many folks who write against fascist takeover still put their work on a platform that is explicitly fine with Nazis

Trump: pas de bonheur sans religion
Dans sa folle régression vers un nouvel ordre moral, #Trump non seulement fait interdire des mots soupçonnés de véhiculer des idées «progressistes», met fin à l’éducation publique (ce jour), mais fait la promotion du pire en termes de croyances. Grand retour vers les Pilgrim Fathers et leur #fanatisme puritain.

The traditional definition of intelligence focuses on problem-solving ability. A broader definition of intelligence suggests it is about how well a system connects, adapts, and thrives in its environment.
Intelligence is relational, distributed, and deeply embedded in context, measured not just by efficiency, but by the ability to sustain and enhance the operation of a system.

The case for expanding the definition of intelligence
A fresh view of intelligence — spanning living systems from bacteria to human civilization — challenges the idea that it’s merely problem-solving.Marcelo Gleiser (Big Think)
This is just sad and so unnecessary..

Billionaires should suffer, not the people
I completely agree that the #billionaires should suffer, not the common folk.
However, that same common folk continues to buy from #Amazon & the like en masse.
That same common folk voted for #Trump, many of whom indicate that they'd *still* vote for Trump even now.
That common folk stayed absent during the elections because they didn't agree with either candidate.
Not trying to defend billionaires, but come on....
Democracy doesn't protect itself, the people protect their #democracy.
"... government of the people, by the people, for the people..."
- Abraham #Lincoln's #Gettysburg Address
Many consider this to emphasize the principles of #democracy, highlighting that government should be created & run by its citizens for their benefit.
It reflects the idea that the authority of government is derived from the consent of the governed. The people protect their own democracy..
Why the *HELL* does a #European need to remind #Americans of their own damn principles?
