  5. I smell Grift, wonder why? Or is this just a framework of a concept?

    Gaza "Board of Peace" considering issuing a Stablecoin pegged to the US $.

    Who will store the reserves, who would audit them, who would operate the blockchain, and where would it be located/hosted, what legal system would enforce payments - all open questions .

    Is it realistic that Gazans would be able to access the system given there is next to no functioning Internet in Gaza? gizmodo.com/trumps-so-called-b #Gaza #BoardofPeace #Internet #Crypto #CryptoCurrencies #StableCoin #Grift #BlockChain #DigitalToken

  6. SpaceX opens the door to "sharing" its spacecraft tracking data with its "StarGaze" Space Situational Awareness (SSA) system.

    Stargaze aggregates data from ~ 30,000 star trackers distributed across the StarLink satellite fleet to generate accurate orbit estimates and predictions of position and velocity for all detected objects in near real-time and the system generates Conjunction Data Messages (CDMs). 

    SpaceX will make Stargaze conjunction data available to any satellite operator (free of charge) that submits its own ephemeris (trajectory) data to the platform. Stargaze ephemeris is updated and shared publicly every hour.

    BIG question: How long will Stargaze be "free of charge" ??? news.satnews.com/2026/02/18/sp

  7. The Crypto industry is already engaged in building up and spending SuperPAC money to influence the upcoming 2026 elections with ~ $3 million already spent primarily on special elections in Florida and Virginia.

    Crypto PACs claim they already have $221M cash on hand with an additional
    $100M "committed" but not yet reported publicly.

    Fun Fact: Fairshake, (the largest Crypto PAC by far) is now the #5 most-funded PAC in the country.

  22. 90 mph/145 kph and 5G’s of force – what is not to love?

    Olympic Bobsledding has long been a hot bed of technological innovation, and the 2026 winter games are no exception.

    Carbon fiber, custom spike plates/specialized shoes, 3D printing, plasma nitriding, and yes data analytics are all powering efforts by teams to gain even the slightest of advantages. Advanced data analytics powered by data from sensors in the sleds is studied to plot the best trajectories for approaching curves and developing race strategies.

    Lastly, design efforts continue to improve the safety systems in sleds and aim to create refinements in three key areas: 1) keeping athletes inside the sled (during crashes), 2) improving the ability to brake the bobsled, and 3) improving protective clothing and helmets.

  27. Microsoft reports excellent progress on attempts to encode data in glass using femtosecond lasers.

    Project Silica is developing technology that could preserve information for 10,000 years. The system creates groups of symbols, which are then encoded as tiny deformations, or voxels into glass with a laser.

    By splitting the laser into four independent beams writing at the same time, the team say the technology can record 65.9m bits per second. Microsoft claims they could store 4.84TB of data in a 12 sq cm piece of fused silica glass, 2mm deep – about the same amount of information that is held in 2m printed books.

  28. What do you mean you did not see it? It is a Bus and you just crashed into it!

    Tesla has reported its Robotaxi fleet in Austin, TX has been involved in 14 incidents (crashes) since its launch in June 2025.

    Looking at the #'s, the fleet likely reached around 800,000 miles by mid-January 2026 - that works out to one crash every 57,000 miles. The average American driver experiences a minor collision every 229,000 miles and a major collision every 699,000 miles. Er go, Robotaxi's are crashing at 4X for a regular human driver.

    NOTE: All of Tesla's "incident" reports are fully redacted and flagged as “confidential business information.” Tesla remains the only ADS operator to systematically hide crash details from the public through NHTSA’s confidentiality provisions. electrek.co/2026/02/17/tesla-r #Tesla #RoboTaxi #FDS #AutonomousVehicles #Safety #NHTSA #CarCrashes #AutomatedDriving
