with the only difference with the change from Khomeini to Khamenei. So while looking like a random stream of consciousness these posts are actually being reviewed and updated with some level of care about accuracy. This is the USA President being serious: Blockade the Strait of Hormuz to ALL traffic and interdict any ship that passed through.

Here’s the full latest post:

So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khamenei, and most of their “Leaders,” are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP

There was a recent study done by the University of Cambridge which analyzed the black market for fake accounts across various platforms in multiple countries. They found there was a correlation with the price of these accounts and ease/difficulty in setting up a SIM farm for that country.

Snippets from https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/price-bot-army-global-index

“One SIM card can be used for hundreds of different platforms,” said Dek. “Vendors recoup SIM costs by selling high-demand verifications for apps like Facebook and Telegram, then profit from the long tail of other platforms.”

…

A new analysis using twelve months of COTSI data, published in the journal Science, shows that verifying fake accounts for use in the US and UK is almost as cheap as in Russia, while Japan and Australia have high prices due to SIM costs and photo ID rules.

So the likely outcome of this Korean effort will be to increase the costs for fake accounts but not to entirely eliminate them. With the extra risk of another place for sensitive data to be leaked.

The name prometheus is already in use by an open source monitoring project:

They are both in the computer field so there is some chance for confusion. Especially if the Prometheus monitoring project has some AI capabilities then that would strengthen the case for a trademark naming conflict.

Apple Inc, the computer company, had to settle and pay Apple Corps (the Beatles record label) money to settle trademark rights for the Apple name when Apple got into music business:
