Crypto lending is making a comeback with the SEC standing down. The Nexo platform exited the US after paying $45 million in fines to regulators; now they’ve announced they’re coming back at an event they hosted in Bulgaria titled “Trump Business Vision 2025”, which featured Donald Trump Jr.

@malwaretech @iagox86 @charlvdwalt I remember a Dan Kaminsky talk about how residential ISPs were starting to inject ads into cleartext websites. This would have been maybe 2007 or so.

Imagine if the legal climate then was as it is today. SSL would be illegal. Felony disregard of business model and all (h/t @pluralistic).

Wealth for businesses doesn’t come from customers anymore; it comes from investors. That’s what extreme wealth inequality does. And risk-tolerant investors are all vibes. So basically a business owner’s ability to get rich depends entirely on just how much bullshit they can get a few billionaires to believe.

In Minnesota, all but seven of the state’s 87 counties were under the red flag warning, the term used for high alert for wildfires, according to the state’s Department of Natural Resources.

“Fire danger is extreme across the state due to hot, dry, and windy conditions,” the agency wrote on social media. “This is a dangerous time for wildfires.”

On Sunday, the temperature in the Twin Cities reached 90 degrees, breaking the previous record of 88 degrees that had been set in 1900. The heat was expected to continue at least through Wednesday, the Weather Service said.

The conditions had already wrought havoc near Brimson, Minn., an unincorporated community in the northeastern part of the state. There, the Camp House fire had consumed at least 750 acres since Sunday, the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center said.

We have a CI job to spot unwanted utf8 letters in #curl PRs as we have noticed that GitHub will gladly show the for example (identical) Cyrillic version of a letter next to the Latin version in a diff and it is yes, entirely impossible for a human to spot the diff. I mean the diff is shown, but the significance of it is not.

Changing just a single letter like that in a URL hostname opens up for a world of grief.

To describe Trump's actions as “potential conflicts of interest” misses the point. A “potential conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation in which it’s possible that Trump might choose his own personal interest over the nation’s. Stated this way, the problem is the conflict.

But Trump isn’t conflicted. He repeatedly chooses his (and his family’s) interests over the nation’s. He is using the authority and trappings of the presidency of the United States…

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo hit with government lawsuit for allegedly misleading consumers: ‘Falsely promoting and distributing’

"The complaint says Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have misled consumers about the recyclability of their plastic bottles, placing the responsibility for the plastic-waste crisis on the latter’s shoulders — while quietly lobbying to weaken environmental protections and regulations worldwide."

Ever notice ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2025/05/12/cocacola-and-pepsico-hit-with.html
