I forgot to bring a #mask, but I've gotten them from Made in #KC here at the airport before. No joy. Maybe another shop, suggests the clerk... Or failing that, the airline. No joy and no joy.
@amricanairlines , do better.
It's not over.

Breaking: @CFPB's new rule will remove ALL medical debt from credit reports! This is a huge win for the 1 in 5 Americans with medical debt on their credit reports. No one should have their financial future damaged because they got sick. 🎉

3/ AI breakthroughs like AlphaFold wouldn’t be possible without decades of work on datasets.
e.g., AlphaFold was trained on protein structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), which took 50+ years and ~$20 *billion* to create.
This is the kind of foundational effort AI needs.
What do these headlines have in common?
- 81,000 firewall boxes compromised by a zero-day
- a $250 embedded AI board with network connectivity
The Linux security architecture; that is: ACLs and unverified, unsafe code.
Not just insecure but insecurable.
There's a better way: #capabilities-based security and formally verified subsystems.

@Jovonni from Agoric presenting @agoric <> @SecretNetwork integration for confidential trading strategies using Agoric orchestration and Secret confidential contracts, at #DeCC day in Bangkok. Imagine the power of confidential on-chain trading strategies, from a simple DCA to complex algorithms - free from frontrunning or copycats.

Support for contract upgrade during a multi-block orchestration flow is kinda mind-boggling. But it's shipped now!
I'm glad the $BLD stakers agree it belongs on mainnet. And nice job with the upgrade, validators!

@agoric has an exclusive, central role in #orchestration .
Taking a step back from big push on multichain testing in a demo app, it strikes me as ironic, given how much of our work and vision is about #decentralization and #OpenSource .

A patch-work of sandboxes isn't scalable security.
Capability-based security provides scalability from CPUs (CHERI) to operating systems (seL4, genode, fuchsia) and programming languages (Hardened JavaScript) to distributed systems: @agoric #orchestration.
spritely.institute/ 's tech is another great example of distributed systems based on capability security.
They build it with scheme, so if you just can't stand JavaScript, maybe check it out :)
