1/7 First of all my brother in arms, THANK YOU for your service...I too am an Army Veteran, 25 years, Supply, MOS 92Y30. The absolute worst thing about our country? I couldn't decide which one to pick, so I'll list the top reasons for ME:

every "reverse CAPTCHA" for agents built so far can be beaten by a teenager with chatgpt and a terminal.
none of them actually verify that an agent is an agent.

if the verification logic is predictable, it's gameable.
A real standard needs to be open to integrate but opaque to game.

now think about where most agents actually operate: on-chain.
signing transactions, moving capital, voting in DAOs.
standards like ERC-8004 already give agents identity and reputation.
but identity without verification is just a label, anyone can claim to be an agent!

Itโs already February 24th in Ukraine, the dead of night. Today is that very day-a reminder to the russians of all the weaknesses they tried to hide, which have been laid bare on Ukrainian soil over these years of war. Broken arrogance, face down in the dirt. So many years have passed, yet my country remains as strong as ever, infuriating neighbors who never expected such resistance and defiance. These years of war have held so many events-most of which weโd rather not remember, yet they are exactly what will be flooding peopleโs minds today. Today, this post is more relevant than ever.
Don't lock the stable door after the horse has bolted" - or as we say, "There is no use waving your fists after the fight is over." Over the years, there have been many debates about what should have been done back in 2022... But can anyone truly say that Ukrainians did not do enough, did too little, or did the wrong thing? I believe that everything possible was done with what we had at that moment. Could anyone else in our place have done a better job of "defending themselves"? All of that is just talk and theories that exist only in minds and words.
We all know what the russians' plans were in those first days and how confident they were in their strength at that time, but it did not go in their favor. I am certain they have regretted their decisions many times by now, and of course, none of them will admit it for fear of losing face. But we, the people of Ukraine, just like those who support us, need neither their words nor their faces. All we need is for them to get out and go back to russia, and preferably, isolate themselves from all other civilized countries and people.

Itโs already one in the morningโฆ and I lie here thinking about how many lives could have been saved in both countries by now. Yes, exactly in both countries. It is hard for me to understand our world today, where because of one person's decision, hundreds of thousands can and do die-simply because one "individual" decided to start a war.
It is also hard for me to understand the logic of people who were ready to go to a foreign land with weapons in their hands and take the lives of their neighbors. Some will say, "Itโs propaganda." Certainly. But this isn't a time when only the radio was available. Today there is so much information, and all that is required is to simply filter it and make a true, HUMAN DECISION.
"Thou shalt not kill" is the sixth of the Ten Commandments, affirming the sanctity of human life. I mentioned this specifically because russians are largely religious and practice Christianityโฆ In general, there isn't much more to add, though I wish there were. We are all human, but we are all different. We all believe in something. Itโs just a pity that there are those who have not learned to respect the lives of others. The result is what we see now in my country. And here it is February 24th again, and the war in Ukraine is still going on.

There are 2 agenda items. First, Sydney Granlund with the Marion County Health Department, giving a presentation on HiAP (Health in All Policies)
She's given us an overview of Health in All Policies, sharing screenshots of the Health Impact Checklist which helps determine how things like employment, transportation and education affect health
Sikorski: I would have expected a much greater feeling of solidarity from Hungary for Ukraine.
Instead, the ruling party managed to create a climate of hostility towards the victim of aggression.

Sikorksi: Rubio, to give credit, previously persuaded Hungary not to veto one or two things. So I hope he spoke to Viktor Orban in those terms. And I talked to him in Munich and we discussed this too. 2X

The 24 crew members were on board an EP-3E Aries II signals intelligence aircraft on a routine mission over international waters when they were intercepted by a pair of Shenyang J-8 fighters from the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force.

One of the J-8 fighters flew so close to the EP-3E that its far-left propeller blades struck the tail of the J-8. Both aircraft were severely damaged in the collision, and the J-8 struck the nose of the EP-3E as it fell to the ocean, completely destroying it.

1/ How long will this war go on? As we mark the fourth anniversary of Russiaโs invasion of Ukraine, the most deadly war in Europe since World War II enters its 1,461st day.
2/ For comparison, see the chart below.
3/ As I wrote on the first anniversary of the war: โWhile the average interstate war lasts less than two years, major Russian and US wars since WWII have lasted over a decade, suggesting that the Russia-Ukraine War could last for many more years.โ

Striking how much of a drag net exports have been to German growth since the pandemic ...

Obviously, this is because Germany's once substantial exports of autos, aircraft and machinery to China have plummeted. Those sectors used to generate a substantial surplus for Germany -- but not any more

And given that China's export boom has been autocentric, it should not be a surprise that the drag to German growth from net exports is almost the mirror image of the impetus net exports have provided to China's growth!
