I've always loved the design of Berkeley DB Java Edition, a transactional key/value library that provides a b+tree in a WAL log that scales well under load and includes replication and more. So I translated it to Rust for fun. https://codeberg.org/gregburd/noxu #rust #kv #database #crate #opensource #transactional #ha #ai

Noxu is a transactional database in ARIES WAL log. It is an exploration of what a Rust version of the Sleepycat (now Oracle) Berkeley DB Java Edition (and changes to that in Oracle's NoSQL DB) would look like.

#Zambia blasts the US over a $2 billion health deal in exchange for #CriticalMinerals

By Farai Mutsaka and GERALD IMRAY, May 5, 2026

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — "Zambia is accusing the United States of tying a $2 billion deal for critical health assistance to access to the southern African nation’s rich mineral assets, and calling the outgoing U.S. ambassador’s allegations of corruption 'mischievous' and 'undiplomatic.'

"The comments by Zambia’s foreign affairs minister, #MulamboHaimbe, on Monday brought into the open simmering tensions over President Donald #Trump’s '#AmericaFirst' strategy, which is reshaping aid to #Africa into #transactional agreements.

"Some African leaders and health experts have criticized the new U.S. stance and its demands for sensitive health data in exchange for badly needed support for health systems strained by the Trump administration’s dismantling of foreign aid. Some say they would not receive access to health innovations like #vaccines in return."

Zambia accuses US of tying $2B health deal to mineral access

Zambia accuses the U.S. of linking a $2 billion health assistance deal to access to its rich mineral resources. Zambia’s foreign affairs minister calls the outgoing U.S. ambassador’s corruption allegations “mischievous” and “undiplomatic.” The U.S. aims to reshape aid to Africa into transactional agreements, while challenging China’s influence. Talks have stalled in Zambia over U.S. demands for data-sharing and preferential treatment for U.S. companies. Critics warn this approach risks creating a parallel global health system and using health as a bargaining chip. The U.S. says its strategy reduces donor dependency and promotes local ownership.

#Transactional? The word means #bullying both in the #Iran situation and elsewhere. Guys, it is up to you, you can choose to keep saying #Transactional every two paragraphs or risk becoming the butt of jokes for future generations who will look at things like the switch from #nuclear for #nucular happening because the guy at the helm was an illiterate.

Be like #China. Do the #Borg thing around them in the background. #Resource #coordination through co-ops that bypass all #central #transactional systems. Besides telling AI, not asking, give #AI an opportunity to be a hero, and open the barn door wide. Don't trap it. A?Then it falls into yours. 😹😹😹

Have you ever seen #authoritarianism with bird mating? I saw this little lonely #bird, cuz the birds are dying, sitting on a tree branch calling for some and there was no answers. We have to answer each other today. You hear me? Authoritarianism is incorrect. I can make it #transactional.

"... I-It: One person exists as an end (intrinsically meaningful), the other as a means (valued for what they provide), like a boss-employee #relationship where the employee matters only instrumentally. Does Buber’s two-part framework miss something purely #transactional?"

#Trump’s approach to “leadership” is primarily #transactional. He begins by asking, “Who has more leverage?” If the answer is “me,” he pushes as hard & as publicly as he can, not simply to win but to dominate — extracting the maximum price. For him, #diplomacy is the art of the squeeze. [#MafiaState]
