The mood at the anti-war protest.

A sharp BTC price decline makes sense: there's a genuine risk the Russia/Ukraine war results in significant effort to shutdown Bitcoin under the guise it is supporting Russia.

Don't think Bitcoin's ability to resist government pressure is infinite. Both Russia and the US have the technical capability to destroy civilization itself... This is a question of how the politics evolves.

Ugh.

I actually have a WHO standard Yellow Fever vaccine cert in my passport. It's just a yellow piece of paper, trivial to forge.

Having zero real security is a good compromise with this kind of thing. We do not need QR codes; there's no reason to force people who don't want it to get vaccinated.

EXCLUSIVE: West Virginia Wants To Ban Tesla & Others From Sending OTA Updates To Customer Cars - CleanTechnica

Good.

OTA updates are an obvious and very serious national security concern. They're a single point of failure that could be used to disable millions of vehicles at once. Or worse, kill.

The engineers at Tesla and others who have implemented them are criminally incompetent and should never be allowed to work in safety critical industries again.
