Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello???
Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as “ALIVE” when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem.
Obviously.
Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second …
@babylon_gallery@real_n3o@realfrankwilder@WilderWorld Great looking game. Loved keeping up with the community through the development. No doubt you will dominate throughout web3.
How do you plan to compete with franchises like GTA6 when they beast if finally unleashed?
What’s not being heavily discussed about the balloons is the “why”. While we don’t know a ton - we know it had multiple antennas, was communicating real-time back with China, appeared to be solar powered.
Having come from SIGINT - you can’t collect everything from space / SATCOM. China happens to be the largest surveillance state we’ve ever seen in history. This means both on their own people as well as the world. People often say why is TikTok harmful? Well let’s take a hypothetical scenario - all the data collected in TikTok - stored in a massive database that is fed with other intelligence sources.
Take that - now map all the major secret military bases it flew over - locate individuals from TikTok database and start building profiles / dossiers on them for further use of espionage.
Just one example obviously but there’s so much more: the US doesn’t expect an adversary over its own airspace - many of the systems here back home are more lax than abroad - meaning legacy encryption, clear communications, and more. A signals driven balloon loaded with the right equipment and ability to analyze spectrum frequencies, intercept them, and send back can tell a lot. What encryption types are in use, which ones are unencrypted, which ones are exposed or of high interest.
Next move onto ELINT, maps out our capabilities - our defenses, systems used and location - all in preparedness for a conflict to knock out ICMB capabilities, defense and more.
Just some things to ponder - it’s not a good thing we are seeing these and have missed them in the past. One thing is clear - I truly hope we begin to beef up our military defenses more. This seems to be a major gap in our ability to detect.
Additionally - it appears we are definitely not prepared for a war with China - 1% of our population serves, numbers down on recruiting all across the board, and only 26% of population that is fit to serve (due to obesity and health ailments). We got a lot of work to do.
Hearing a lot of leaders in web3 refer to their community memebers as "users."
Let's leave this language in web2... we're not peddling dope, we're building an open space for a collective uprising.
More appropriate terms include: members, citizens, participants or players.
This data visualization by @nicolaraluk shows the occurrence of earthquakes on Earth between July 2017 and July 2018, but differently from other charts, this ones shows them with their depth. Here you can find the interactive version: https://t.co/ctsei4wsDo
