En direct : d’intenses bombardements israéliens signalés à Khan Younès, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza
Plusieurs dizaines de chars ont pénétré, lundi matin, dans le sud de l’enclave, selon des témoins, alors que l’armée israélienne a ordonné l’évacuation de la zone. Une responsable de l’ONU craint un « scénario encore plus infernal » à Gaza.

A variation of the DCA proposed by Dr. Huberto Leal, from Hold BTC 100 Channel: R$100.00 are also invested every month, but, if the price of Bitcoin is above the single average of the last five months, all money is withdrawn from the Fixed Income and purchased in BTC, plus R$100.00 per month; if it is below, all BTC are sold and invested in the FI, also adding the R$ 100.00. Fixed Income yields 0.8% per month. The final balance is R$15,333.50 against R$10,161.58 for pure DCA.
In addition to the higher return, the Trend Following Strategy allows you to be absent from the crypto market during down periods and present during major upward movements.

They probably don’t. The fake email may be the one that strike gets, but primal (likely) would possibly have access to the email, etc that was linked to your payment method.
Worth noting that Primal claims to not be gathering any other user metrics (in App Store version) which I don’t doubt at all, but using the Apple Pay feature (which is conducted by Apple and not Primal) may cause data to come into their possession.
Primal may wish to have their lawyers look at their Privacy Policy at https://primal.net/terms as well, as it does not account for information that may be collected or revealed to Primal by Apple Pay. IANAL, but offering friendly feedback.
But on a cursory look through the iOS codebase, I haven’t seen anything concerning or intentional looking. A swift/iOS expert should feel free to correct me, but I’ve been looking at code for a lot of years, and this is my read of it.

'The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime. Because of that, I wanted to design it to support every possible transaction type I could think of. The problem was, each thing required special support code and data fields whether it was used or not, and only covered one special case at a time. It would have been an explosion of special cases. The solution was script, which generalizes the problem so transacting parties can describe their transaction as a predicate that the node network evaluates. The nodes only need to understand the transaction to the extent of evaluating whether the sender's conditions are met.' June 17, 2010 - Satoshi Nakamoto

USDA Raises Beef Production Forecasts, Putting Pressure on the Market
===============
#1647ee74 ver:0.08
Beef prices in the United States have been soaring due to a combination of drought, shrinking cattle herds, and the country's increasing reliance on beef imports. The challenges faced by the U.S. beef industry are further compounded by declining exports and the impact of climate change. The U.S. cattle industry is grappling with extreme drought conditions, aging producers, and a shrinking cattle herd. Ranchers have been forced to cull more heifers during recent droughts, resulting in fewer replacement heifers to rebuild the herds. The average age of agriculture producers in the U.S. is around 57, and older producers may be considering quitting due to the repeated droughts. Currently, the U.S. has the lowest cattle herd since the 1960s .
The impact of drought and shrinking herds is reflect...

Reserve Bank of Australia Keeps Interest Rates Unchanged, ASX Shares Expected to Benefit
===============
#f646daae ver:0.1
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has decided to keep interest rates unchanged in its recent meeting, according to a survey of economists. The decision comes after the RBA raised the cash rate by 25 basis points in November, and it reflects the lower-than-expected monthly inflation figures and weak consumer spending. The RBA is closely monitoring economic data, particularly on the prices side, to determine if any further tightening is warranted. The decision to leave the cash rate unchanged is expected to be good news for retailers and summer holiday makers. However, consumers are advised to remain cautious of high interest rates until at least Q3 2024. Economists anticipate one more rate increase in May next year, followed by rate cuts in 2025. The ASX shares are expected to receive a b...

Financial Markets React to Firmer Rates and Dollar, Australian Dollar Faces Pressure

Asian share markets were mixed on Tuesday as US stocks continued to climb and bond yields dipped. Equity futures in Japan and Australia were slightly lower, while those for Hong Kong edged higher. The S&P 500 gained 0.2% on Monday, supported by positive corporate earnings and expectations that the Federal Reserve's tightening measures have reached their peak. Meanwhile, Treasuries pulled back as investors assessed signs of resilience in the US economy. Australian and New Zealand yields edged higher after Treasuries pared gains from earlier in the week. The 10-year yield rose nine basis points to above 4.5% on Wednesday. The VIX index, Wall Street's fear gauge, remained near its two-month low, indicating a sense of calm in the market. The ICE BofA MOVE index, which measures bond market vola...

Wall Street Slips as Investors Await Key Reports on Job Market

#92ff101d ver:0.09
In a half-day trading session on Wall Street, stocks ended the holiday week with mixed results. While the S&P 500 inched up 0.1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3%, the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%. The market saw gains in health care, financial, energy, and other sectors, which helped offset losses in technology and communication services stocks. Notably, chipmaker Nvidia and Google parent Alphabet were among the biggest decliners, while CF Industries and Best Buy were among the big gainers. This reflects a turnaround in market sentiment in November, with traders cautiously optimistic that inflation has cooled enough for the Federal Reserve to stop raising interest rates. Treasury yields rose, and oil prices continued to ease. However, concerns arise as investors watch U.S. ...

US Urgently Needs More Funding for Ukraine to Continue Fight Against Russia
===============
#541c88be ver:0.2
The Biden administration has warned Congress about the urgent need to approve tens of billions of dollars in military and economic assistance to Ukraine. Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young stated that without this assistance, Ukraine's war effort to defend itself from Russia's invasion may come to a halt. The U.S. is running out of funding to send weapons and assistance to Ukraine, which would severely impact Ukraine's ability to fight. Additionally, the U.S. has already depleted the money used to support Ukraine's economy, and if the economy collapses, Ukraine will not be able to continue fighting. President Joe Biden has requested a $106 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other needs, but it has faced challenges in Congress. Republicans are insisting on U.S...

His idea is simply that the properties of Bitcoin and the fact that, when properly custodied, it requires extreme amounts of energy to steal or spoof make it an attractive addition to warfighting technologies.
Right now, we use that property to hold Bitcoin as an asset that can be sold in the future; as money. It benefits everyone to have a little in case it's the only money left standing.
In the realm of cybersecurity, a theoretical computer that is hardwired to operate only if a specific transaction is seen on chain becomes immune to all forms of software hacking. You can't hack the blockchain. And you can store the signing device in a nuclear vault.
I'm not saying we know exactly how Bitcoin can be used for cybersecurity, but the possiblity exists. Because the possibility exists, we have to make an attempt to adopt it for that purpose before anyone else does. Because historically, dismissing new technology is the losing strategy. Adopting it is risky and time consuming, but I don't see how anyone can argue that investing time in finding new uses for Bitcoin is a bad opportunity cost.

Block Quote: 819790
'It is possible to verify payments without running a full network node. A user only needs to keep a copy of the block headers of the longest proof-of-work chain, which he can get by querying network nodes until he's convinced he has the longest chain, and obtain the Merkle branch linking the transaction to the block it's timestamped in. He can't check the transaction for himself, but by linking it to a place in the chain, he can see that a network node has accepted it, and blocks added after it further confirm the network has accepted it.
As such, the verification is reliable as long as honest nodes control the network, but is more vulnerable if the network is overproof-of-workered by an attacker. While network nodes can verify transactions for themselves, the simplified method can be fooled by an attacker's fabricated transactions for as long as the attacker can continue to overproof-of-worker the network. One strategy to protect against this would be to accept alerts from network nodes when they detect an invalid block, prompting the user's software to download the full block and alerted transactions to confirm the inconsistency. Businesses that receive frequent payments will probably still want to run their own nodes for more independent security and quicker verification.' October 31, 2008 - Satoshi Nakamoto

While listening to it I was thinking about a feature which can categorize all of your saved messages in Telegram (not only by the type of content, but also by topics). Seems like some AI feature for Telegram.

Hitler was an evil man, if what they say that he did was true, and he no doubt had evil beliefs for sure. But if he left that, repented, rectified his situations than the door to forgiveness is always there. Unless you’re dead, and then it’s too late.
But best believe, there wasn’t much of a difference between him and the likes of Winston Churchill. They all shared similar evil ideas. It’s just that Hitler lost the war.

Most importantly, the library facilitates #translation of the books into the minority #indigenous languages of the world. It tracks the number of times the book has been read, the number of devices that downloaded it, and the number of times it has been translated.
Best part is: If you don't like my book, you can create your own with the Bloom Editor and publish it to the library (https://bloomlibrary.org/create).

The problem we have here is that in Islam we are supposed to love and hate for the sake of Allaah. Yes, you can love and hate some for personal selfish reasons but if they are outside the guidance and guild lines of Islam, then it’s not necessarily sanctioned. A few examples to clarify.
1) Some ideas are evil, and repugnant, but if I hated someone specifically just for that you may assume that this would justify all sorts of mistreatment. That’s normal for ‘hatred’. But in Islam we’re ordered to guide such people to righteousness and good behaviour, deed and beliefs. Why would you put effort to help someone if you “hated them”? That shows that it’s not the type of ‘hate’ you’re thinking of.
2) Likewise, you love someone, but only to a point whereby you don’t commit sinful deeds or mistreatment of anyone because of it. So if I was madly in love with a woman and she told me I must rob someone so i could get her some expensive ring, that love would be wrong and forbidden if it leads me to such a sin. Likewise, if would be prohibited for me to aid any fellow Muslims to oppress a non-Muslims, and in fact I am obligated to stop him. So although my aligences is towards my fellow Muslim, I cannot let that ‘love’ lead to sin. That’s not really love. The prophet Muhammad said: “Help your brother, whether he is oppressed or the oppressor”. His disciples said “we understand how to help him if he is oppressed, but how can we help him if he is an oppressor?” And said “stop him from his oppression”.
So when I say “hate someone for their idea” it’s not the same type of hatred a racist has for ‘the other’ for example.
So bringing it back to the original conversation. If I met someone who had no issue in the murder of innocent civilians , or they agreed with the use of nuclear bombs on civilians, I very easily hate that person for having it in them to accept such barbarism, but if I was able to get them to change their views through dialogue, and they changed, I would have zero reason to hate him further and in fact I would love him for his sincerity and goodness.
