Not convinced this helps big tech. I always hosted Google Fonts etc locally for privacy and robustness. For small traffic sites it’s no burden. If you are a high traffic site you can probably afford it. Meanwhile big tech can’t track your users’ IP addresses and use that power against you and then.

Come on man … this is NOT extortion … it’s just taxation … just pay your taxes! These guys just wanna protect you, but you don’t want to pay for their protection? What kind of scum are you?

So the miners afford the energy companies to maintain excess capacity (as otherwise they’d not get paid by miners to produce so much as they do) … so when they need that excess for more important things, the miners working together help society provide.

A soon to be big mover in the nft space, gamestop - which has a huge international community, has launched $100,000 fund for developers.
…thought it would be nice to remind investors in MaidSafe that our very own Bamboo fund of 1000 ETH is worth $2.6 million.
On launch, SafeNet is going to attract some serious developers… and will probably become the home of many NFT projects, as well as others.
We are going to have every available dapp you can dream of on our network.
MAID at $0.34 is a bargain - and I think the ERC20 coin launch is giving us a closing window to buy cheap before every other etherium wallet holder can buy with ease. I think its already beginning to be priced in.

Apple implemented a hash based Client-Side scanning of images on iPhones last year. The purported reason is to catch those with illegal images. Now here we are a year later with unintended consequences for this very bad decision. Well, not a bad decision for Intelligence agencies. But very bad for all the users of any Apple or even potentially Google phones.
Understand the implications of this. Apple cannot take this technology back. Since it’s been revealed to governments that it was completed, then all governments have to do is demand access. And we will never know if anything is happening quietly.

The above is from October 2021, which. Apple backed away from in December. They said this was a delay rather than cancellation but it remains to be seen:

Yes they publicly backed away. But ultimately they will move forward. It’s too tempting to not implement this.
I want my SAFE phone. A phone that boots directly into SAFE Network.
Edit:
How will we know Apple is not going to be forced to implement this on the DL? Now that they created the possibility in the OS they can be required by large nation states to give access.

We’re due a soft launch in Feb, and a full launch in first quarter.
Am not a chartist, but if we keep steadily going up past EUR 0.35
until ERC - it could be people preparing to provide liquidity on ERC?
Of course, could be just random movement.

I dont think ERC-20 maid effect price. I am glad to see Pull request these days.
Maybe funds were returned?

I saw a bit of chatter about the funds being replaced but from unknown origins as yet.
Not saying it was not returned but the wording makes it look like it was replaced too.
Where does that kind of money suddenly appear from though.

I think I read that wormhole had nearly a billion in funds total … so perhaps they simply replaced it themselves. A big hit for them if so. Hard to say yet what happened, but I reckon it will come out in time.
