Asymmetric encryption is used during the “handshake”, which takes place prior to any data being sent. The handshake determines which cipher suite to use for the session – in other words, the symmetric encryption type – so that both browser and server agree. The TLS 1.2 protocol took multiple round trips between client and server, while TLS 1.3 is a much smoother process that requires only one trip. This latency saving shaves milliseconds off each connection.

Das beschämende Spektakel, dass die Bürger definitiv mehr und mehr von denjenigen entfernt, die behaupten, ihre Vertreter zu sein, hat schon seit Langem nichts mehr mit dem Gesetz und der Verfassung zu tun, sondern mit den persönlichen Begehrlichkeiten dieser Personen.
Das Argument von Anfang 2023, dass sie mit einem Terroranschlag konfrontiert seien, ist widerlegt worden. Jetzt besteht der Terrorismus-Vorwand nicht mehr, und wir haben eine politische Krise, die vielleicht sogar noch schlimmer ist als die von vor einem Jahr. Das Land ist weiterhin unregierbar, aber nicht wegen der Mobilisierung von denen „da unten”, sondern wegen der unersättlichen Gier von denen „da oben”.

Eindringlich rief der Papst in seiner Urbi-et-Orbi-Botschaft dazu auf, sich für Frieden einzusetzen. „Er komme bald in Israel und Palästina, wo der Krieg das Leben dieser Völker erschüttert. Ich umarme sie alle, insbesondere die christlichen Gemeinschaften in Gaza und im gesamten Heiligen Land. Ich trauere im Herzen um die Opfer des verabscheuungswürdigen Angriffs vom 7. Oktober und erneuere meinen dringenden Appell für die Freilassung derjenigen, die noch immer als Geiseln festgehalten werden. Ich flehe darum, dass die Militäroperationen mit ihren entsetzlichen Folgen unschuldiger ziviler Opfer eingestellt werden und dass man etwas gegen die verzweifelte humanitäre Situation unternimmt, indem man das Eintreffen der Hilfslieferungen ermöglicht.“
Franziskus richtete den Scheinwerfer aber über das aktuelle Gaza-Drama hinaus auf die Zukunft der Menschen und Völker im Nahen Osten. „Man schüre nicht weiter Gewalt und Hass, sondern führe die palästinensische Frage zu einer Lösung, und zwar durch einen aufrichtigen und beharrlichen Dialog zwischen den Parteien, der von einem starken politischen Willen getragen wird und von der Unterstützung der internationalen Gemeinschaft.“ Der Vatikan wirbt für eine Zwei-Staaten-Lösung Israel/Palästina und für einen international garantierten, freien Zugang zu den Heiligen Stätten.
Following the birth of the Saviour came the slaughter of the innocents, the Pope recalled, and he remembered the innocents, the „little Jesuses“ of today, who are victims „in their mothers’ wombs, in odysseys undertaken in desperation and in search of hope, in the lives of all those little ones whose childhood has been devastated by war.“
We must say „yes“ to peace and „no“ to war the Pope decried, as every war marks „a defeat without victors, an inexcusable folly.“ He also called for a „no“ to weaponry given that with human weakness we can often end up using it for war sooner or later.
Peace is even more difficult, he observed, „when arms production, sales, and trade are on the rise“ and public funds spent on arms can come at the expense of bread for the hungry. He decried „the interests and the profits that move the puppet strings of war.“ And these must be brought to light, „talked about and written about,“ he emphasised, since many have no idea how much of their public funds are being spent on weapons, whereas they should be informed.

“It’s time to say ‘enough.’ Year after year, we spend more and more on our national defense – it’s too much with too little accountability. We have troops on food stamps while at the same time, price-gouging defense contractors are getting richer by the day.
At stake is an $886 billion bill that would grant a 5.2 percent raise to military personnel, include programs to counter aggressive moves by China and Russia, and establish a special inspector general to oversee U.S. aid to Ukraine.

Die seit Jahren von den Funktionären dieser sehr alten Partei organisiert gestreuten Propaganda über D-Mark-Nationalisten-Kapitalisten als vermeintlich einzigen Gegnern des Euro-Finanz- und Währungssystems, können alle selbst widerlegen, wenn sie sich ausnahmsweise 10 Sekunden Zeit zum Nachdenken nehmen.
Noch nie wurde in der gesamten Geschichte der Menschheit ein Finanzsystem durch das vorhergehende ersetzt. Ein neues Finanzsystem wäre neu.

The demonstrators are protesting the government’s proposed state budget that is slated to send billions of shekels to the ultra-Orthodox communities. Protest organizers said in a statement that this “isn’t a state budget [that’s being put up for a vote], but rather raiding the public coffers that will destroy Israel’s economy for generations to come.”

he Knesset is slated to devote several days next week to debating and passing the budget.
Despite the tension, leaders of all the coalition parties expect the budget to pass next week and say the government is at no real risk of falling. “In the long run, things can’t work this way, but at least for now, the budget will pass,” one minister said. “There’s no immediate threat to the government.”
The reckless, messianic fanatics who run our lives aren’t pausing for a moment, pouncing on the public coffers like a pack of hungry hyenas, emptying them for many years to come ■ With the budget deadline looming next week, pressure is mounting on the architects of the judicial coup
Werfen wir den Blick dazu noch ein paar Jahr weiter zurück. Denn nüchtern betrachtet fand der erste „iPhone-Moment“ im digitalen Sinne nicht 2007 statt, als Steve Jobs die Bühne betrat. Sondern es war ein Moment am 12. März 1989 – und dieser vollzog sich still und leise und ohne große Werbekampagne.
Es war der Tag, an dem der Entwurf zum World Wide Web erstmals veröffentlicht wurde. Der Einfluss des WWW auf unser aller Handeln bis heute ist wohl nur schwer in Zahlen zu fassen, geschweige denn in finanzielle Werte. Wie auch? Patentiert oder lizenziert wurde das WWW nie.
Ultimately the problem stems from an over-financialized economy. Finance is supposed to serve production, not replace it. We need to reinvest in the productive base: infrastructure, labor, health, social, and natural capital. #Kennedy24
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a fierce critic of big banks, emphasized that the FDIC bailout of First Republic once again puts taxpayer money on the line. That’s after $25 billion was used from the Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund to backstop a loan for the rescue of depositors at Silicon Valley Bank in March.
(May 1, 2023)
The government’s takeover and sale of First Republic comes roughly eight weeks after the government took control of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, whose failures sent a shock wave through the industry and raised fears that other regional banks were at risk of similar runs on deposits.
(April 29, 2023)
Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that JPMorgan and PNC are vying to buy First Republic following its seizure by the government, which could come as soon as this weekend.
If the San Francisco-based lender falls into receivership, it would be the third U.S. bank to collapse since March. First Republic said this week its deposits had slumped by more than $100 billion in the first quarter.

The FHLB system was created under Herbert Hoover in 1932 with the primary goal of making homeownership more affordable for the average American. (…)
While FHLBs are privately capitalized, they enjoy a special statutory lien priority which can place them ahead of other parties, including the FDIC, in bankruptcy proceedings. Thus, if Silvergate were to join the spate of major crypto industry entities that filed bankruptcy recently, it could leave the FDIC holding the (empty) bag, responsible for paying out deposit insurance on Silvergate’s FDIC insured accounts while the FHLB is first in line for any assets remaining.

The insider sales went largely unnoticed because Signature Bank, unlike most other S&P 500 companies, filed documents with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation instead of the Securities and Exchange Commission. (…)
The bank collapsed and was taken over by federal regulators last month, in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse.

The idea that conservatives like the market and not the government is unadulterated crap. It is a myth that they use to conceal the ways they have rigged the market to make income flow upward. Unfortunately, virtually the entire left has agreed to go along with this absurd myth. Moments like the bailout of the rich depositors at SVB make the truth about conservatives and the market apparent to all. (And yes, this is the point of Rigged [it’s free].)

Silicon Valley’s failure came with incredible speed, with some industry analysts on Friday suggesting it was a good company and still likely a wise investment. Silicon Valley executives were looking to raise capital early Friday or find additional investors in the company. But trading in its shares had been halted before the opening bell due to extreme volatility.
Shortly before noon eastern time, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced it was shuttering the bank. Notably, the FDIC did not wait until the close of business to seize the bank, as is typical in an orderly wind down of a financial institution.
Imagine how we could rebuild our nation if we brought even half that amount home. Let‘s take care of those left behind. Let‘s fix our infrastructure. Let‘s clean up our environment. Let‘s make our nation strong and prosperous again! #Kennedy24

This summer, a $600 million computing cloud developed by Amazon Web Services for the Central Intelligence Agency over the past year will begin servicing all 17 agencies that make up the intelligence community. If the technology plays out as officials envision, it will usher in a new era of cooperation and coordination, allowing agencies to share information and services much more easily and avoid the kind of intelligence gaps that preceded the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
For the first time, agencies within the intelligence community will be able to order a variety of on-demand computing and analytic services from the CIA and National Security Agency

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is expanding the military budget enormously. Pentagon spending is set to hit levels not seen since the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Both chambers of Congress have passed the bill, and it will now head to President Biden‘s desk.
The bill passed by a vote of 83-11, with 60 votes needed for approval.
Congress has a bad habit. They have stopped passing substantive legislation through normal procedure, debate and votes. The legislative process as designed by our Founders is not happening. Instead, Congress is saving most of its actual policy-making legislation for large end-of-the-year bills that can combine hundreds of separate pieces of legislation. And if reports are accurate, we could be shaping up for the granddaddy of them all this December. This process must change, particularly for bills as highly controversial and constitutionally concerning as the misleadingly named Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA).
Der aktuelle Chef des Stiftungsrates der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz, Wolfgang Ischinger, hat in einem Interview mit dem Springer-Blatt BILD die Bundesregierung aufgefordert, alles in die Wege zu leiten, um Deutschland in eine „Kriegswirtschaft“ zu führen. Die Bundesrepublik stände erst „erst am Anfang der Zeitenwende“, so der langjährige deutsche Spitzendiplomat und Botschafter in den USA. Die vom ihm nun platzierte Forderung ist mehr als nur ein indirektes Eingeständnis, dass, zumindest nach seinem Verständnis, die Bundesrepublik sich bereits im Krieg mit Russland befindet.

For the fourth quarter of 2019, total wealth in the U.S. was $111.04 trillion.
The total net wealth of private households in Great Britain was £14.6 trillion in April 2016 to March 2018, an increase of 13% in real terms from April 2014 to March 2016, mainly because of increases in private pension and net property wealth.

Um die Inflation zu bekämpfen, erhöht die Nationalbank den Leitzins und beendet damit die Zeit der Negativzinsen
The ECB, for its part, is due to take its key interest rates significantly higher.
The Bank of England decided to lift interest rates by a half-point to the highest level since 2008 in a contested decision, as the U.K. central bank joins peers across the globe in trying to bring inflation down by quelling demand.
The vote was 5-to-4 to bring rates to 2.25%, with three members calling for a 75-basis-point hike while one voted for a quarter-point increase. It was the seventh consecutive rate hike for the U.K. central bank.
Collectively, Americans have nearly $900 billion dollars in credit card debt, and if you carry a balance, your bill is about to get more expensive, as the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate for the fifth time this year. Currently, the average interest rate on a new credit card offer is more than 21%, according to LendingTree’s Matt Schulz. “You can expect that average to go up to over 22% in the next couple of months because banks don’t tend to waste a lot of time on raising rates when the Fed does,” Schulz said.
Das Hauptproblem: Die hohen Zinssätze treiben den US-Dollar in die Höhe – zum Nachteil anderer Länder. Denn nicht nur Importe werden teurer, sondern auch die Bedienung von Krediten. Die straffe Geldpolitik der US-Notenbank bekommen daher vor allem einkommensschwächere Länder zu spüren, die sich während der Pandemie hoch verschuldet und ihre Kredite in US-Dollar aufgenommen haben – selbst aber keine Dollars verdienen.

The complaint from former head of security Peiter Zatko, a widely admired hacker known as “Mudge,” depicts Twitter as a chaotic and rudderless company beset by infighting, unable to properly protect its 238 million daily users including government agencies, heads of state and other influential public figures.
Die 84 Seiten starke Beschwerde des Whistleblowers liegt nun bei der US-Börsenaufsicht Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), der Handelsbehörde Federal Trade Commission (FTC) und beim US-Justizministerium. Eine Fassung des Dokuments, die an den US-Kongress ging, wurde gestern teils geschwärzt von der Washington Post veröffentlicht.
Der als „Mudge“ bekannte Hacker Peiter Zatko wurde 2020 vom damaligen Twitter-Chef Jack Dorsey angestellt. Nach einem schweren Sicherheitsvorfall, bei dem die Twitter-Konten von Joe Biden, Jeff Bezos und anderen Prominenten gekapert wurden, sollte Zatko die Systeme des Kurznachrichtendienstes verbessern.
Ausrichten konnte Zatko jedoch offenbar nicht viel: Seine intern vorgebrachten Warnungen seien in den Wind geschlagen worden, zitiert die Washington Post mehrere ungenannte Insider.

We have no way of knowing whether the loophole has already been exploited: Anyone could have collected data undetected for over a decade.
We do know this is still an active threat vector – while two major DNS providers (Amazon and Google) have fixed the issue, others may still be vulnerable. As a result, millions of devices are potentially vulnerable.
(…)
After analyzing it, we learned it was dynamic DNS traffic from Windows machines that were querying the hijacked name server about itself. Dynamic DNS keeps DNS records automatically up to date when an IP address changes. It’s traditionally been used in large networks that host internal services, and use their own internal servers. In short, the traffic we received contained sensitive information that was never supposed to leave an organizations internal network.
The dynamic DNS traffic we “wiretapped” came from over 15,000 organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, 45 U.S. government agencies, and 85 international government agencies. The data included a wealth of valuable intel like internal and external IP addresses, computer names, employee names and office locations.
