The San Francisco Chronicle:

  • Front Page “S.F. HOMELESS PROJECT: Centers appear to be working”: Navigation Centers for people that suffer from persistent homelessness have proven helpful in San Francisco and in other U.S. cities. Although more costly and time intensive, they offer unwavering support to those that require extra assistance.
  • Front Page “Supes panel puts roadblock in front of Tasers”: Supervisors Sandra Lee Fewer, Malia Cohen and Norman Yee removed funding for police tasers from the city budget (Catherine Stefani and Jeff Sheehy voted against the cut). More information on the true costs of the tasers is being requested before committing to the expenditure.
  • Front Page “Harris’ ICE stance a fault line for Dems”: Senator Kamala Harris thinks ICE should be reconsidered from scratch after citing poor treatment of migrants. Positions among Democrats on the ICE agency vary and may cause discord in the party.

The Washington Post:

  • Front Page “Now on the menu: Dinner with a side of shaming”: White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a public restaurant on account of her affiliation with the Trump Administration. The public shaming of unpopular political figures is at an elevated level in American history.
  • Front Page “Separated families feel terror of the unkown”: Immigrant families separated at the US border continue to be difficult to reunite. A bad situation made much worse by increasing uncertainty and duration.
  • Front Page “If NATO, Russia clash, U.S. may stall in traffic”: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO countries have become less prepared for a large scale conflict with Russia. After the Russia/Ukraine conflict in Crimea, however, NATO countries are beginning to worry again.

Heartbeat – Monday, June 4th, 2018

Jogged two laps, yoga, DuoLingo.

News from The Washington Post:

  • Venezuela continues to lose citizens as the hyperinflation there wipes out incentive to stay in the country. Ten to twenty percent of staff at schools, hospitals and public transit have left.
  • There’s debate on whether President Trump has the ability to pardon himself. Giuliani and others claim Trump will not do such a thing and that an impeachment would likely follow if he did.
  • China is becoming an increasingly attractive country to conduct scientific research in. They’re investing heavily in recruiting talent from abroad, luring back expats and producing more doctoral degrees internally. The US should continue to collaborate with their growing scientific community.

Worked on setting up “seeder nodes” for Primecoin (https://github.com/belovachap/primecoin-seeder). Waiting on a couple of full nodes to sync up before starting the DNS servers.

Still working on protocol message structures in C#. Would like to get to an initial application that shows the communications between Primecoin nodes 🙂 Ultimately I’d like to build a mining module and a simple wallet for a stand-alone distributed Primecoin app on Windows 😀
