Ever wonder why full 5G bars suddenly slow down the moment you step inside a building? According to a recent OpenSignal report, one Malaysian network operator experiences three times fewer indoor dead zones than its competitors. To see if the analytics hold up in practice, we took U Mobile’s...

Astranis is building a new satellite for Taiwan. 🇹🇼 With our customer, Chunghwa Telecom, we will bring Taiwan its first-ever dedicated communications satellite. Chunghwa Telecom is the largest telco in Taiwan, with a market cap of more than $30 billion USD. Independent, secure internet infrastructure has never been more geopolitically important — and because it’s impossible to replicate with LEO constellations or even terrestrial links, it merits some spelling out. Astranis was founded on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to peace, prosperity, and self-determination. The satellite we’re bringing to Taiwan represents resilience. It will serve as a critical backbone for cellular connectivity, maritime communications, and essential government services across Taiwan. And it will ensure that Chunghwa Telecom’s network remains operational in times of crisis, whether in the face of natural disasters or other disruptions to terrestrial infrastructure. Importantly, Astranis provides more than just a satellite — we give our customers a standalone, dedicated network. A network that can be rapidly deployed and fully spans their geography of choice. With enterprise-grade security, customizability, and deep insights into the configuration and operation of the network. And as an independent piece of infrastructure, it safeguards against geopolitical risks, and is beyond the reach of hostile neighbors. Those are the benefits of having your own, dedicated satellite and network. And that’s why so many customers are choosing Astranis. We at Astranis are honored to be part of this moment, and to have a product that has proven so uniquely needed in today’s world. We look forward to continuing to support Taiwan and its people for many years to come.

IOTA is being born. 🐣 For almost a decade, the IOTA Foundation has been the mother of IOTA. It carried it, protected it, fed it, corrected it, rebuilt it when necessary, and kept it alive long enough to turn a technological intuition into real infrastructure. But no decentralized network is meant to live forever under its mother’s protection. A foundation is not the final form of a public DLT. It is the womb. The incubator. The structure that allows something immature to survive until it is ready to breathe on its own. And that moment is now approaching. With IOTA Rebased, Move at the base layer, staking, validators, real programmability, and now Starfish live on Mainnet through Protocol Version 24, IOTA is no longer a promise guarded by its mother. It is becoming an adult network. Not just a project. Not just a vision. Not just an architecture waiting for its moment. It is public infrastructure for the real world. 🌍 🔹 The IOTA Foundation is now entering its great year of delivery. One year, maybe a year and a half, in which it will have to consume part of its tokens, not as a sign of weakness, but as the final stage of separation. 🔹 Many will read this as bearish. To me, it is exactly the opposite. It is the umbilical cord being cut in front of everyone. 🔹 Because no truly neutral infrastructure can depend forever on a European foundation. Not Africa, not ASEAN, not America, and not any major global trade corridor will fully trust a public DLT if they perceive that one legal entity still holds too much power over it. That is the key. For IOTA to become bigger, the IF has to become smaller. For IOTA to become more neutral, the IF has to stop being the center. For IOTA to become global infrastructure, it has to stop looking like a network protected by its mother and start behaving like a network that belongs to the world. 🌍 During this phase, some validator nodes supported by IF-delegated tokens will disappear. And although some people will misread this, it is part of the natural process. Those nodes were scaffolding. They helped raise the initial structure, gave stability to the launch, and allowed the network to start walking. But the scaffolding is not the building. When the building is ready, the scaffolding comes down. First, only a few independent validators will enter. Then more. Then competition. And eventually, a real economic fight for validator positions inside a network that no longer depends on its mother’s initial protection. That is decentralization entering adulthood. 💎 The IOTA Foundation also has to become independent from IOTA. Its natural path should no longer be to act as the permanent treasury of the network, but to build real products on top of it. That is where TWIN comes in. TWIN can become the major enterprise, institutional and commercial layer built on IOTA. A SaaS layer for global trade, traceability, digital identity, compliance, digital product passports, logistics, customs, exporters, governments and supply chains. 🧬 The IF would then stop being the mother feeding the child and become something much healthier and much more powerful. 🔥 A customer of IOTA. 🔥 A builder on IOTA. 🔥 An operator using neutral infrastructure to deliver real products to the market. 🔥 That is the right model. Bitcoin does not need a foundation to feed it. It does not need a CEO. It does not need a treasury to keep it emotionally alive. Bitcoin simply exists and offers what it is. Scarcity, settlement, monetary resistance and neutrality. IOTA has to do the same in its own territory. Not only as money, but as digital trust infrastructure for trade, data, identity, real-world assets, machines, institutions and entire economies. 🔹 In 2027 or 2028, TWIN could spin out as an autonomous SaaS business, with recurring revenue, institutional clients and the ability to attract real capital rounds. 🔹 Not crypto grants. Not community funding. Real institutional capital. 🔹 If it proves traction, adoption and revenue, we could be talking about Series A or Series B rounds, each in the tens of millions of dollars. And major investors are already keeping one eye on this coming opportunity.👀👀👀👀👀💰💰💰💰💰 Meanwhile, IOTA would become freer and freer. 💎 Free from dependence on its foundation. 💎 Free from a central treasury. 💎 Free from institutions. 💎 Free from founders. 💎 Free from non-decentralized decisions. 💎 Free even from the need for someone to “save” it. A public network does not reach maturity when its mother protects it better, but when it no longer needs protection. That is why this moment is not bearish. It is brutally bullish. The child is ready to leave home. And when a decentralized network leaves home, it stops being a project and starts becoming infrastructure. Bitcoin needed one paper to decentralize money. IOTA has needed a decade to decentralize real-world trust. And maybe the market will take time to understand it, but the most bullish moment in IOTA’s history may be exactly this. Some will see a mother letting go of her child’s hand. Others will see a network finally being born as sovereign, neutral and free infrastructure. To the untrained eye, the truth may look bearish. To the wise, it will look exactly the opposite. Bullish in its purest form. 💎 Born to be decentralize! #IOTA #IF #Move #TWIN #ASEAN #AfCFTA

Hilarious. And don’t forget, everything in the sky is a bowling ball shaped sphere. That’s why questioning the globe is “insane.” Because if it’s in the sky it has to be under your feet. What’s that? Then why does the moon just have one side that we always see that never changes? Well moron, despite billions of years of violent chaos and asteroids bombarding a helpless piece of rock with no atmosphere, you see it’s “tidally locked.” Which means for thousands of recorded years we only see the one side because by total chance it’s spinning exactly the same speed as us despite its 28 day 3k mph orbit around us….. But but we know it’s a sphere because Pink Floyd did an album called “dark side of the moon”that coincidentally holds the record for the longest album to be top 100 at 741 weeks. Cementing the idea that there is a dark side of the moon. Also, Artemis, a cartoonishly stupid “mission” using green screens and simulations just showed us the back side using an “image” which is defined by “not being real.” The idea that the sun moon and stars could be in a higher dimension that we can’t comprehend as 4 dimensional beings has now been “debunked” by a long and treacherous tradition from nimrod to “Koch” and “glover.” (End scene) For people who don’t want to submit to a higher power I can see how crazy I sound. How can there be a dimension we can’t comprehend called “the heavens”? What if, the way to experience the heavens is to accept that it’s above us and is not in the realm of man? Just a thought!

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of and the start of a new conversation. We can all feel it: the web is changing in ways that seem both dramatic and, in a weird way, imperceptible. At times, it’s hard to know where to start exploring what could be next. Sometimes, when you think you've found whatever next could be, it's hard to determine what’s real and what’s hype. Our approach has always been simple: We like to put a big question out there on the horizon of what’s possible, then build toward it with conviction to see what we can learn. When we created the new Edgar Allan site, we set out to explore the impact of conversational design and personalization in marketing experiences. Why conversation? Conversation and dialogue are the foundation of all stories and the vehicle for human connection. Today, it’s difficult to ignore the prevalence of conversation in the digital world, from Slack and Teams channels to social media feeds, phone messaging, and tools like ChatGPT. So, with that in mind, we had some thoughts: ‍“What if a website was less a one-sided place to present information and more of a living knowledge center?” “What if a site could be more of a guide than a brochure?” “What if we could incrementally learn about a visitor’s intent, then dynamically shorten the distance between everything a brand says and the mere seconds of attention most websites get?” Ultimately, the agency's job is to work at the edge of the future and what’s possible so we can make things and report the results to our clients and community. Thank you for joining us in this process. We can’t wait to see how this conversation unfolds and what we can learn together. Also, a huge thank you to the entire EA team. After 258 days of wild exploration and untold effort, today, we are starting the process of learning, designing, building, and optimizing. This site feels like us, and I couldn't be more excited.

The value of the work we're doing at Optimum is encapsulated quite well by the phrase "speed is money". In modern markets there are real economic advantages to latency reduction. This is nothing new. Wall Street firms have long been optimizing on latency, primarily through colocation and top of the line hardware. However, when it comes to decentralized systems, expensive hardware and geographic concentration are antithetical to their purpose. Therefore we should optimize decentralized network latency through software, which I'm thrilled about because it's exactly what I've spent the better part of the past 2 decades working on with Random Linear Network Coding. Now let’s talk about networking economics, the relationship between speed and money. First, it's important to note that users will only pay for low latency if it can be consistently guaranteed. Second, you can only make that latency guarantee for a certain number of users. This is a universal law of networking. We can model this relationship on a delay curve, shown below. The delay curve is determined by the utilization rate of the network, meaning how much traffic is flowing through the network divided by the network's throughput. As you approach a level of traffic equal to the available throughput, latency trends infinitely higher. On this delay curve we can impose some utility thresholds. These thresholds are the levels of latency which are important to different groups of users because of how that latency guarantee improves their economic outcomes. Finding the point on the curve where each threshold intersects will tell us what level of traffic we can guarantee that level of latency for. Essentially, there exists a finite supply of speed on a network and the highest utility users of that speed are willing to pay more for it. I like to think of this similarly to expedited shipping options on Amazon. This is why we say speed is money, and why we can create a Latency Marketplace. The only way to increase the supply of speed is to fundamentally increase network throughput. This is what we work on at Optimum by using Random Linear Network Coding. The same relationship between traffic and throughput still applies, but now the delay curve is shifted out further to the right. Now more traffic can be processed at the same latency, or the same traffic can be processed at a lower latency. More speed available to the network. More value unlocked for the network’s users. Crucially, that value is no longer only reserved for those who can afford to sit closest to the machine. Expanding the supply of speed widens who can reach each latency threshold, keeping the network's advantage decentralized rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. When nodes join Optimum and participate, they reap the benefits, but they also add to the capacity. Rather than vying against each other in a zero-sum game, nodes help themselves and others.

Nawiwi: "Whether to renew the contract or not, we already had an official discussion about a month ago with both the parents coming to talk to me and the team. We talked and seemed to understand each other, and the artist and parents said they would give a response in 2-3 days, but more than a month has passed now. No matter how many times I ask, there is no answer, and it’s not clear. This is what we got, so we don’t know either. I have had staff follow up with the artist many times asking what the response is. What the plan is, what was agreed on. They were supposed to give a summary back because we already gave the solution and they wanted to propose something. We wanted to listen but they just disappeared. From three days to more than a month now, no matter how many times I ask, no response. Probably not coming, probably busy lately. I see them just playing fitness and liking all the fans’ posts first. So, fan clubs when you say you want that person to have work, you have to see if they actually want to do it, like it, or just have to endure it. You have to see who they really are, uh... yeah. You have to see the reality too... We are ready to support and open opportunities in every case. Even if you say how many million per year you want, write it down and we will arrange it for you. If you don’t trust us, go trust someone else, and it will turn out like this. But we are not saying it’s not everyone’s personal right. We have done our job perfectly, called the parents to a meeting, made a contract agreement to give feedback to each other, but there was no feedback, so it’s over. Bye." 🤣🤣🤣Bruh all of this over someone you said is talentless, disrespectful, controversial, that nobody wants, that's disrespectful to fans and employers? All of this over them?

Back in 2022 I gave a lecture that opened up with a succinct but deep discussion on what classical liberalism is and why it's the opposite of Marxism. Communism doesn't come from classical liberalism. There's only one thing I wish I had added here looking back on it. Faith. At one point, I come to the point of explaining how securing our inalienable rights secures individualism, but I didn't explain why that matters. Why should we want to be individualists? I came very close to the answer, but it evaded me in the moment. The answer is located in faith. We want to be individualists because only individuals can choose to be righteous (to keep the law and honor the sacred), and only individuals can accept the offer of Grace and thus find renewal in earnest repentance. Faith is trust and confidence in a covenantal belief that if we, as individuals, do our part, good things are sure to come. If we are good, we can be confident there's a value in it. That's faith, and it matters—and it's up to us as individuals to hold if we can. And it's worth holding, especially when it's hardest to hold on to. This is why so many tyrants have hated the Jews for so long. This belief and framework comes into the world uniquely with the Jews, who are ultimately defined by this covenantal relationship and thus will not depart from it when faithful. The Jews stake individualism against it all, and the Christians continue that and expand its reach, thus its gifts. I wish I said it, even though I didn't. It's what makes it matter.
