Ach, op de dag tegen islamofobie misschien toch nog maar even de aandacht vestigen op het Rekenkamer rapport van afgelopen week dat bevestigde dat de meldingen ongebruikelijke transacties van banken in Nederland - effectief en cijfermatig een sterke bias hebben naar buitenland en moslim-achtergrond.

Niet zoals het hoort maar de witte beleidsmakersgemeenschap trekt zich er geen bal van aan. Ze gaan door en doen alsof er niets aan de hand is.

Dat is Nederland anno nu.

Algemene Rekenkamer constateert discriminatie bij FIU-meldingen en Tuchtrecht Banken zegt: niets aan de hand !

HRIF.EU stuurt open brief aan Tuchtrecht banken omdat deze al jaren weigert meldingen topbankiers (2023) over overmatige monitoring te behandelen.

People who characterize DOGE as having failed in its mission startle me.

Of course, that mission wasn't what the thoroughly and repeatedly documented straight-faced liars said it was, so I suppose there's room for some naïve folks to think that.

The mission -- "destroy one of the most successful governments in the history of the world as much as possible as quickly as possible while creating maximum chaos and taking a profit" -- was a stunning success.

Die peruanische ICC-Richterin Luz del Carmen Ibáñez...

von ihrer Bank in der Niederlande gecancelt (weil diese sonst von den USA sanktioniert wird), ihre Apple/Google-Konten ebenfalls alle gesperrt (wie sie in einem anderen Interview sagte), und ausgelöscht aus dem digitalen Leben...

weil sie ihren Job machte.

"Darüber hinaus erstrecken sich die Sanktionen auch auf die Familien der Richter. Und genau da liegt das größte Problem. Meiner Tochter, einer internationalen Anwältin, wurden Visum und Kreditkarte entzogen . Sogar ihre Google-Konten, E-Mails usw. wurden gesperrt. Es ist unfassbar, denn sie lebt nicht bei mir, arbeitet nicht mit mir zusammen und hat keinerlei Verbindung zum IStGH. Dieselben Maßnahmen wurden auch gegen die Familien meiner Kollegen verhängt – gegen ihre Ehemänner, Partner, Mütter und sogar gegen ihre Ex-Frauen, die aufgrund ihrer Unterhaltszahlungen ebenfalls als potenzielle Sanktionskandidaten gelten.

Welche Rechtfertigung gibt es also für die Misshandlung und willkürliche Angriffe auf Familien? Der einzige Zweck ist, die Macht der Stärksten auszuüben und diejenigen einzuschüchtern und anzugreifen, von denen man glaubt, dass sie diesen Gewalttaten erliegen werden . Das ist nicht nur ungerecht, sondern völlig unverdient und willkürlich."

Programa Especial - Luz del Carmen Ibáñez, la jueza peruana de la CPI sancionada por el gobierno de Donald Trump

En el primer año de su segundo mandato, el gobierno estadounidense de Donald Trump sancionó a cinco jueces y tres fiscales de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI), incluido el principal Kharim Khan. "Un ataque contra el estado de Derecho", condenó Naciones Unidas. "Estados Unidos no puede pretender intimidar a un sistema de justicia de vocación universal y vulnerar la independencia de los jueces creyendo que vamos a ceder por estos actos de violencia', dice a RFI la jueza peruana Luz del Carmen Ibáñez, una de las sancionadas

Over the past few weeks, several US banks have pulled off from lending to Oracle for expanding its AI data centres, as per a report. So Oracle is now firing 30000 engineers as banks pull out from financing AI data centres and OpenAI deals to meet fools dream. Wise investors are pulling out of data centres now as they found out it's impossible to reach AGI & exponential AI growth through increasing the scale of compute. LLMs have already hit their developmental plateau https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/oracle-layoffs-tech-giant-to-slash-30-000-jobs-as-banks-pull-out-from-financing-ai-data-centres-11769996619410.html

My general approach to fixing almost any organizational problem starts with “make it visible”. Make the problem visible enough and sometimes other people will step in and fix it without any effort on my part.

There is one big exception to this approach however, and it just came up in a conversation.

That’s when we’re trying to fix a morale problem. Many companies will start by trying to visualize “team happiness” with something like a Niko-Niko calendar, and this can backfire spectacularly.

First, the companies that try to track happiness/morale, already know they have a problem or they wouldn’t have asked for this. Second, when the results come in and show that teams are not happy, management rarely does anything positive to address that. Why do I say that? Because the companies that already have a good plan to address morale/happiness, don’t start by asking people to quantify how they feel.

So now we’ve made it really visible that there’s a morale problem, and that we’re not willing to do anything about it, so morale drops even further, which gets even lower scores, which we again do nothing about.. and it spirals downwards.

So now when I hear a company say they want to start tracking happiness, I ask them what specific actions they’ll take when the results show that the teams are not happy. If they don’t have a solid plan already, I advise them not to track it at all. If you’re not prepared to fix it, don’t make it visible. That’s just going to make it worse.

So @xaitax has cracked Microsoft Recall, he's got access to the encrypted database and has automated dumping of screenshots and all text from screenshots.

I've looked at most recent Recall and yep, you can just read the database as a user process. The database also contains all manner of fields which aren't publicly disclosed for tracking the user's activity.

Any price increases that our countries experience because of Israel’s and America’s war against Iran should be recompensed by them.

No solidarity with this bloodthirsty, lie-based imperialism.

We need a new tough line against any country breaking international law: boycotts, sanctions, divestments, and holding to account officials legally and financially.
