The Internet is at a tipping point, here’s what you’ve probably never heard coming next.

Time for a thread 👇👇👇

 1) Let’s start with the users…

Today over 50% of the world is on social media AND on average we each have 70-80 usernames and passwords.

Each of these accounts are owned and controlled by the platforms.

Recipe for disaster.
2) In 2021 American adults spend over 4 hours a day online - that is half a work day.

Time is our most valuable asset, did you realize you are giving this away for free?
3) The applications we use today are built on the foundation of ‘Free + Ads’.

You get free access.

They get YOUR account, YOUR data, YOUR screen time, YOUR community.

And the worst part? This can all be taken away at any moment.
4) So where do we go from here?

It starts with self-sovereign digital identities.

ONLY the user owns their identity data online without intervention from outside parties.

Available now at sites like: https://t.co/x5EMfrWBBd
5) After securing your own identity online you’ll want to communicate.

However, the internet has become siloed - Few control the many.

This centralized control will boil over and expedite a migration to peer-to-peer networks.

Here’s how they work…
6) Autonomous P2P networks (https://t.co/j2rdtmtA54) are free to use.

Fully decentralized, serverless, and equipped with end-to-end encryption that is randomly routed through the network.

No server to store your data - all stored locally.

Remember Napster and LimeWire?
7) We’ve seen the immediate need for such communication channels already in 2021.

#WhatsApp migration to @signalapp

Throughout the year more competition will emerge in this space (see @hypermessenger), with their own unique features.

And this is good for us all.
8) As news continues to break you might find your way to the doorstep of #Web3, but can these decentralized platforms really compete?

They can - and they will.

We all know the dinosaur #LinkedIn right? Keep an eye on @tryProfile to see exactly what I mean.
9) This information might be new to you, but projects such as @ElastosInfo are on their 4th year of development and offer open software for developers today.

The migration to an open decentralized internet is happening before our eyes.

28th Nov 2011: A deal is made.

Security researcher @Moxie Marlinspike and Roboticist Stuart Anderson's brainchild, Whisper Systems, will be sold off to Twitter for a nice sum of money. It comes as a surprise because all of Whisper System's services

Porting vanilla (minimal external API usage, no SIMD, no threading) C++ code to work in the browser with emscripten and WebAssembly is amazingly simple now. The Emscripten docs are excellent, but here are some things that could speed up the process of getting started:

1. Beware of code which does unaligned memory reads/writes (which "may be slow on some CPU architectures")
2. Test with -fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize=address
3. Link with "-s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1" and "-s INITIAL_MEMORY=X", X is a multiple of 64k, allows the C++ heap to grow.

(I completely avoid unaligned memory reads/writes because when compiled to asm.js they "can fail silently".)

4. Link with "-s MALLOC=emmalloc" to reduce compiled size.
5. I usually test with -O1 because -O0 can take very long to load/execute.
6. For debugging link with -s DEMANGLE_SUPPORT=1 and -s ASSERTIONS=1

7. C++ printf() outputs to the Developer Console: Chrome Settings->More tools->Developer tools
8. If something crashes, try running in Firefox which may explain the error differently.

Years before Andy Grove was attributed with the phrase:

"Whatever can be done, will be done"

A lot of us technologists assumed this was the case anyway.

It's a truism.

What if we could track every person on the planet in real time?

Or at least everyone in a major city

🤔🔮


So, given someone has this idea.

Then the only question is can it be done.

Well, we're already installing all the tech to do this for autonomous vehicles, drones and smart city infrastructure.

It really wouldn't be a huge leap to do that for people.

But how might that be possible 🤔

Sure we can already do it with phones right, but not everyone has a phone and sometimes the batteries die blah blah.

Could we do it in a way that it was difficult to circumvent, and always active?

Well, maybe we could if we put our thinking caps on about the problem.

Now I'm going to enter the wild world of wild speculative futurism, so take everything else with a pinch of salt 🧂

--- this line intentionally left blank ---

Turns out cell phone towers pinpoint the location of your phone as part of how they work.

And then as you move around you switch from one tower to another.

I think most people get this.

With Parler down, there are going to be a ton of white supremacists switching to (or back to) @Telegram, a company that has sheltered some of the worst, most explicitly pro-terror Nazi groups for years now.

RT to tell @apple & @google to KICK TELEGRAM OFF their app stores, too.

Or, Telegram can actually enforce its terms of service.

But I am watching tons of Nazis thrill to the idea of mass murder on there.

They're emboldened, and @Telegram gives them a place to recruit, radicalize, and plan to kill people.

Parler was bad, but Telegram is the absolute wild west.

I've watched actual terror plots unfold there.

It's where they share printable gun plans and bomb how-tos.

It's where they discuss targets and share vicious, gory murder videos of minorities they don't like.

And I would also add, deplatforming the less dark-webby extremism platforms like Parler ALWAYS means a temporary influx to these more extremist, darker-webby platforms.

We saw it after 8chan, too.

It was necessary, it immediately and overwhelmingly cut down on successful deadly terror, but in the very short term I watched numbers swell in overtly terror Nazi channels as more radicalized/edgelors 8chan folks sought a new home.

18 Things I Would Do At 18:

I was a dumb 18-year-old. I thought I had the world figured out. I didn't.

I stayed up till the wee hours. Drank every liquor invented.

Partied non-stop. Woke up after noon.

Surfed the web aimlessly.

Read BS self-help.

Repeat.

If I could do it all over again, here's 18 things I would do...

PHASE ONE: GET MY MIND RIGHT

ACTION #1: Break the chains - I wish I made the decision earlier. I didn't. I was scared. Anxious. Nervous. I knew once I made the decision, there was no going back.

Don't be like me.

Make the decision at 18. The decision to pave your own path in life. To go against the herd. To choose your own adventure. To commit to whatever sets your heart on fire.

ACTION #2: Cut off every negative person in your life.

Scroll through the contacts in your phone...

Notice how the names make you feel.

Delete any and all names that fill you with doubt and negativity.

ACTION #3: Condition your mind to embrace the producer mindset instead of the consumer mindset.

Consume 20% of the time. Produce 80% of the time.

Case closed.

ACTION #4: Set an intention to make $10k a month and write it out every MORNING and NIGHT as if you already achieved it (in the past tense).

Visualize yourself already having the money as you write.

Cheesy?

Yes.

Does it work?

Yes.

PHASE TWO: EDUCATION

4. Then manually select the stocks which are going to give all time high BO or 52 high BO or already given.

5. U can also select those stocks which are going to give range breakout or already given range BO

6 . If in 15 min chart📊 any stock sustaing near BO zone or after BO then select it on your watchlist

7 . Now next day if any stock show momentum u can take trade in it with RM

This looks very easy & simple but,

U will amazed to see it's result if you follow proper risk management.

I did 4x my capital by trading in only momentum stocks.

I will keep sharing such learning thread 🧵 for you 🙏💞🙏

Keep learning / keep sharing 🙏

An interesting set of games that I've been vaguely interested in since I was a kid, after seeing one at a friend's house and never being able to find it again, was the BATTLES IN A DISTANT DESERT/BATTLES ON DISTANT PLANETS series.


These are turn-based wargames for windows 3.x, sharing the same engine.
Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)


and Battles on Distant Planets is from 1991, and takes place in SPACE!
I'm pretty sure this is the one I played as a kid.


They've got 3 options to play with:
* Player vs. Player
* Player vs. Computer
* Computer vs. Computer

So it's a 0-2 player game!


They also did a DOS strategy game called "STARDATE 2140.2: GALACTIC CONQUEST" in 1990, but it seems to be lost.
All the games share an experimental AI system based on neural networks.

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)
