ICYMI: Anyone really interested has already seen this, but what a amazing smackdown of the Trump/Habba litigation v. Clinton et al. A quote to give you the flavor: “The effort by Mr. Trump and his lawyers to use the courts to bully journalists as part of a dishonest and futile attempt to rewrite history is a shameless attack on a freedom essential to democracy.” https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.610157/gov.uscourts.flsd.610157.302.0.pdf

Lawyer (ret.) interested in environmental law, human rights, humanitarian law, foreign policy, national security, cybersecurity, OSINT, intelligence, technology (#GIS, risk modeling, social network analysis, etc). Grateful beyond measure. Optimistic beyond all reason. Deadhead.
A great article on the nature of “awe” and its transformative power to educate and inspire. And also to carry moral lessons: “ Awe-struck research subjects have shown greater generosity, more ethical decision-making, kinder behavior towards others, and decreased entitlement.”

Imagine car swarm attacks and highway chaos. “The vulnerabilities could let attackers remotely track, stop or control a car — even an entire fleet of emergency vehicles. Another could give hackers access to some 15.5 million automobiles, allowing them…to control braking systems…The researchers were able to use a VIN number to …take complete control of an owners’ vehicle account, …remotely lock and unlock, stop engines, locate vehicles…” #hacking #cybersecurity https://www.cyberscoop.com/car-hackers-vulnerabilities-research/

@friend Thanks for your reply. I think I’m going to take down the toot and reconsider the question. I was really just thinking of the potential use of the digital asset as a means for covert channel communication via steganographic means, offline storage of the asset, and limited minting (e.g., one). But I’m realizing I don’t know enough about the NFT minting and storage process yet.

@dustin The ISW is doing excellent work. I don’t know if you caught the 11/29 webinar presented by the Hayden Center on the ISW’s methods but it was an hour well-spent. The video is on the Hayden Center YouTube channel at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BjO4FZgpGTE
WAR IN UKRAINE: OPEN SECRETS
@dustin Which ones…. <musing>…. Hard to come up with a single one. Seriously, though, the information warfare in this conflict has been impressive to behold.
So, Russia claims that US provision of defensive Patriot surface-to-air missile systems to #Ukraine makes #NATO a party to the conflict created by the Russian invasion. I say that’s rubbish. Thoughts? #ArmedConflict #InternationalLaw #War
