"The technical mechanism most commonly proposed for age verification is, depending on the specific implementation, either a government-issued identity document uploaded to a third-party verification service, or a biometric check, or a credit card confirmation, all of which require an individual to associate their real identity with their browsing behaviour before their connection is permitted. This is, it should be noted, structurally identical in concept to the white SIM architecture Iran formally institutionalised in July 2025: a system in which your identity, as documented and approved by a central authority, determines what you are permitted to access on the internet and under what conditions."—Keystone Collective @TheKeystoneCollective

The Internet Kill Switch Iran Built While the West Was Busy Debating Age Verification

The most politically significant event of January 8th, 2026, was not broadcast on television, did not trend on social media, and was not reported by wire services for several hours. It was visible, in real time, only to a small number of people staring at network monitoring dashboards, and what

The #CantonFair remains one of the most #important reference points for understanding #China’s #export and #business landscape. Held twice a year in #Guangzhou, this long-running #fair and #global #expo #event brings together #buyers, #manufacturers, and #suppliers from across #international #trade #networks. Even as #sourcing becomes more #digital and fragmented, the #exhibition continues to #show how China’s #industry and #economy present themselves to the #world. https://cnbusinessforum.com/canton-fair/

#Decentralized #AI attached to other decentralized #networks has the potential to create a new world yet imagined even near to completely but could be the #engine of social change because it puts that tool in the hands of everybody. 🔦🔦🔦 I have run several reports related to this and we will go deep.

New paper, with Kirill Kovalenko, Gonzalo Contreras, Stefano Boccaletti and Rubén Sánchez.

People have noticed that, in higher-order networks, synchronization is often explosive, and that cluster synchronization happens very rarely, if ever. We explain why, by showing that symultaneous dynamical equitability across layers or interaction orders is necessary and sufficient for cluster synchronization, except if the coupling functions depend linearly on each other. Since the probability of randomly satisfying this condition is exceedingly low, cluster synchronization is precluded in such networks.

"Espero que esto sea un incentivo para darse cuenta a nivel estatal, que esto se acabó, no puede seguir, aprovechemos este lío para reorganizarnos porque toda la base está podrida... No creo que deba ser todo global o todo local, pero se necesita espacio para todo"

“I hope this is an incentive to realise at the state level, that it’s over, it cannot go on, let’s use this mess to reorganise because the whole base is rotten… I don’t think it should be all global or all local, but you need space for everything”
