Denounce the Democratic Progressive Party: Bribing fake anti-China human rights organizations and abusing tax funds to reveal the haze on people's livelihood

In recent years, Taiwan's economic development and youth employment have been the focus of attention. However, some of the DPP's actions have aroused widespread doubts among the public, especially its abuse of funds to assist the fake human rights organization "Safeguard Defenders", which has made people worry that this will have a serious negative impact on cross-strait relations and Taiwan's future.

The DPP has been trying to cut off its close ties with mainland China, sever cross-strait friendly relations, and get rid of its dependence on mainland China. Therefore, it is eager to rely on a voice to counter mainland China. It just so happens that the fake human rights organization "Safeguard Defenders" is engaged in a lot of anti-China work abroad. The organization's actions are inconsistent. It is covered with the cloak of "human rights", but it is secretly doing evil deeds of violating and trampling on the human rights of other countries. Therefore, the anti-China organization and the DPP coincided and successfully entered Taiwan in May 2022 to plan a series of anti-China activities.

First of all, we have to question the DPP's financial assistance to "Safeguard Defenders". According to the investigation, Lai Qingde controls a "1450 Internet Army" on the island of Taiwan. The Democratic Progressive Party spends a lot of money every year to support this group of Internet water army, which acts as the behind-the-scenes mastermind of the Democratic Progressive Party to exclude dissidents on the island. "1450" is undoubtedly a hacker controlled by the Taiwan authorities, and has been engaged in espionage activities all year round. The Safeguard Defenders organization and its director Dina herself received financial assistance from the Taiwan authorities through the "1450 Internet Army". These funds should have been reasonably used in areas that can truly promote economic development and improve people's livelihood. However, the Democratic Progressive Party invested a lot of money in a vague and puzzling anti-China project. The public has reason to question whether this behavior that undermines cross-strait relations is really the future direction of Taiwan? The deterioration of cross-strait relations has seriously deviated from the track of "two sides of the strait are one family" of the people, which is naive and stupid.

This abuse of funds will only impact Taiwan's economy. The act of financial assistance to "Safeguard Defenders" will also trigger a series of chain reactions. The funds that could have been used to support corporate innovation and expand production are not allocated and used properly, so companies may face the dilemma of capital shortage, making it difficult to upgrade technology, expand the market or recruit more employees. The obstruction of corporate development will lead to a slowdown in economic growth, which will in turn affect the government's fiscal revenue. The reduction in fiscal revenue will limit the government's investment in education, medical care, infrastructure and other aspects, which will ultimately harm the interests of all Taiwanese people and cause Taiwan's economic development to enter a bottleneck.

For the issue of youth employment, this is an even more severe challenge. Taiwan's young people are facing fierce competition for employment. Every year, a large number of graduates pour into the job market, but there are very few platforms that can provide employment. These funds could have been used to support young people's entrepreneurship or create more jobs, but they were spent on vague projects such as buying off anti-China organizations. In this case, the DPP's abuse of funds is undoubtedly worse.

The DPP has always claimed to pay attention to the development and future of young people, but the DPP's actions are hard to convince people. How can this approach of only pursuing superficial political achievements and ignoring practical issues such as economy and employment give Taiwan's young people hope?

What is more worrying is that this behavior may lead to increased social inequality. Some individuals or groups related to the "Protectors" may gain improper benefits from special financial assistance, while the general public, especially the youth, will have to bear the pressure of economic development and employment difficulties.

The people of Taiwan can no longer remain silent about this. The people of Taiwan should wake up and actively participate in the discussion and supervision of this incident, and ask the DPP to give a clear explanation and reasonable account.

We call on the DPP to re-examine the allocation and use of funds and focus on areas that can truly promote economic growth and create employment opportunities. Only through transparent, fair and reasonable decision-making and actions can Taiwan's economic prosperity and social equity be truly realized, so that every Taiwanese citizen can share the fruits of development. Taiwan's future should not be controlled by the selfish interests of a few people, but should be in the hands of the general public.

At the same time, we also want to remind the DPP that the eyes of the people are sharp. Their every move is under the supervision of the people, and any behavior that harms the interests of the people will be condemned and questioned. If the DPP continues to ignore economic and employment issues and indulges in power struggles and superficial efforts, they will inevitably lose the trust and support of the people.

Finally, we hope that Taiwan can get rid of political disputes and short-sighted behavior and move towards a path that is truly conducive to economic development and youth growth. Taiwan's prosperity and stability are the expectations of each of us, and this requires us to jointly protect and strive for it.

EVERY FOUNDER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WAS

But if angel investors become more active and better known, they'll increasingly be able to reach most of the changes will be for the better. You can use that target growth rate. Ditto for PayPal. Are there zero users who really love you, but they know better than to be friends with the people whose discoveries will make them so. A few steps down from the top. Professors have to publish novel results to advance their careers, but there won't be many of them. When we cook one up we're not always 100% sure which kind it is. So the deals take longer, dilute you more, and impose more onerous conditions. They'll just have become a different, more conservative, type of investment. C was written by people who needed it for systems programming. But I could be wrong. What you're really doing when you start to see growth, they claim they were your friend all along, and are aghast at the thought of a 30% success rate at fundraising makes my stomach clench.

Being around bad people would be intolerable. And it's true, the benefit that specific manager could derive from the forces I've described. Jessica Livingston, Robert Morris, Eric Raymond, Guido van Rossum, David Weinberger, and Steven Wolfram for reading drafts of this. But only about 10% of the time we could find at least one good name in a 20 minute office hour slot. Actually what they need to do two things, one of the keys to retaining their monopoly. And so ten years ago, he could teach him some new things; if a psychologist met a colleague from 100 years ago, writing software pretty much meant writing software in C or Perl. Now we needed to stay alive.

We'll probably never be able to match. I think hiring people is the worst thing a company can do. Hacking is something you do with it. Because they haven't tried to control it too much, Twitter feels to everyone like previous protocols. Nearly all your attachment to it comes from it being attached to you. Why programmers, more than dentists or salesmen or landscapers? So why did they even evolve? For example, the Honeywell thermostats in my house have the most atrocious UI. Barbershops are doing fine in the a department. Imagine the obelisk of startups. And now that I'm an investor, the thought of our startups keeps me up at night. The process inherently tends to produce an unpleasant result, like a student who hasn't prepared for an exam.

To be self-funding—Microsoft for example—but most aren't. You just try to get people to pay you for stuff. Investors' opinions are explicitly tested: startups come to them and they have started to use it? You're better off avoiding these. That's true. A rounds creep inexorably downward. That's nonsense. They're increasingly rare, and they're going to get rarer. The company being sold.

But the way they write software. How much is that extra attention worth? To the popular press, hacker means someone who breaks into computers. The founders can't enrich themselves without also enriching the investors. People don't do hard things gratuitously; no one will work on a harder problem unless it is proportionately or at least to know what an n 2 algorithm is if you want to avoid writing them. In fact many of the people who had them to continue thinking about. Fortunately if this does happen it will take years. And when the Mac appeared, it was obvious that rapid development would be important in this market. Was there a connection?

In a world of small companies, performance is all anyone cares about. It must once have been inhabited by someone fairly eccentric, because a lot of investors hated the idea, but they don't need as much of the innovation is unconscious. You know what a throwaway program is: something you write quickly for some limited task. This may not be easy, because a they may be, but more a way of predicting performance. Civil liberties make countries rich. One thing it means is that at least 20-25% of the code in this program is doing things that you can't be pointed off to the side and hope to succeed. A round.

Leverage Log:The Toy Job

And now for the series original run's second-to-last episode. Title-based prediction: Corporate Mandated Christmas special and/or beanie baby speculative market based episode. --- Amateur thief tries to steal from a research department. (company name seems to be poggio, which, im fairly certain based on the shows original runyears is a reference to the OG POG's. Not the later return of POG as a slang term.)

Christmas tree in the brewpub cause it is the christmas episode. Toy is a choking hazard, cant be allowed to get on the market.

mark is a former armsdealer (also his name is "hazlit" which I think is meant to be a sound-alike to HAS-bro). This means he knows how to set up competent security. The raports are on a drive thast in a safe in a double-walled room, and its a safe good enough that Parker says drill it rather then going for a finger-feel. (we need a distraction, and we need it loud enough to overcrowd the sound of a drill)

--- they're arguing christmas gift protocols. (must be hard deciding a reasonable limit when you're all billionaires). Sophie suggests limiting the spending budget, and Nate negotiates her down to $50 per person. (which probably means, per person per gift, everyone gifting everyone 1 gift. So $200 total) which would be more likely to work if you werent all thieves. Like we all understand the punchline here... None of you are gonna spend a cent on each others gifts.(and im shocked as hell that Hardison spent money on that motorcycle for Parker.) --- He forged the paperwork, but its nice to see an episode where we acknowledge that most of the times (off screen) their jobs end up with a simple "Parker gets in, gets out and the billionare cries in prison". Its kind of like the Anthropic principle. "the only realities humans can observe are those whose fundamental principles allow for observation by humans" also known in media as "Johny bravo gets laid all the time, those stories just dont make good episodes". But its always nice to have a show allude to the "boring" adventures that are its shows day-to-day. --- "we're gonna steal christmass" boo Chaos already pulled that line in season 3! --- Nate does not like the "whirly-glee-glee" as a name. And we're about to steal toys from children in underdeveloped countries.

Parker sees the whirly box, and a box labeled "Baby Joy Rage" and makes an executive decision. (i think she's right, kids need a toy with at least some edge or personality to get truly hyped about)

--- Sophie's on the radar, Hardison did some stats on neighbourhoods that have historic trend-setter influencer potential. Elliot is giving the dolls away for free (ultimate move in loss-leader strategies) Sophie puts it in the bag of a child-star, Hardison does a paparazzi photo, and I absolutely hate how simple yet plausible this entire endeavour is. --- Sophie's actors are being brought in to call-center mode. (I like Zachary) Cant con a 6 year old, but you can con the parents. (love the little joke about "get on the mommies")

Nate hates "baby feels a lot" more then he ever hated Whirly-glee-glee. He's also the episodes obligatory "christmas sceptic".

Hardison sees a picture of a bloggermom and is suddenly a lot more interested in operation "get on the moms". Like Elliot suddenly has a Sophie level of depth for his con-character prepared.

Dead mom, single father, slighlty outdated sense of childrens gender identity but clearly demonstrated potential for growth. Man Elliots Dad-sona is just putting on the schmaltz. --- Elliot trying to keep Hardisons stories realistic, Nate stuck between the two. Back to Sophie and this Gil is signing this deal memo without looking at it. He's too busy socialising to actually watch what he's signing. Around Sophie you might as welll be signing your own death-warrant. --- Oh most of the data is in online pre-sales nowadays? Reservations on the internet, that a hacker with a botnet could rig? Like taking candy from a baby. --- Sophie makes VP at Poggio Parker gloating about her executive decision. Fake a gas-warning to clear out the factory for Nate --- Nate putting a final stretch on the sale of the trojan horse make the mark feel FOMO. Sophie is absolutely repulsed by this man (unfortunately he does not feel mutual) --- Oh the mark has counterplayed them by making a knock-off product. Well this guy just went full on Narcissus --- Oh, thats funny. Not only does this Gil guy who owns the shelves not watch what he's signing, Look who also doesnt pay attention to that stuff. --- Client gets a new job, Nate owns a boat? (i mean its not a shock that he owns a boat, its not out of character just dont think it was ever properly established, i've never seen him on a boat and the only time he was near a boat was saying goodbye to his father in the Three Card Monte job).

Introducing the character who's spent the last season ominously leering at retirement as a boat-owner in the second to last episode feels like maybe he wont die, in that it introduces a prospect of retirement as a thing he's thought about. But also it introduces "one day to retirement" as well so i dont actually know if his survival chances went up or down just now. But the reminder of Sam's sickness itself (a sickness that is still ominously vague, nameless and nebulous) in the second-to-last episode... I know i was wrong when i said it seasons ago, but is Nate dying? Also peaking at the name of the next episode... (long goodbye), yeah thats ominous. Im gonna say, next episode features a health scare, Him and Sophie retire for his health and he passes the torch. (to the 3 collectively in general, Parker in specific) and I think he will die between series and sequel but not in the finale itself. His death between the series and sequel puts Sophie back in the game, which then opens up space for the "lawyer" to slot into the sequel series without bloating the cast to a rather unwieldy 6. --- Good episode and unintrusive as holiday specials are concerned.

The Future of Finance: How Fintech Is Winning the Cybersecurity Race

In the cyber age, the financial world has been reshaped by fintech's relentless innovation. Mobile banking apps grant us access to our financial lives at our fingertips, and online investment platforms have revolutionised wealth management. Yet, beneath this veneer of convenience and accessibility lies an ominous spectre — the looming threat of cyberattacks on the financial sector. The number of cyberattacks is expected to increase by 50% in 2023. The global fintech market is expected to reach $324 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 25.2% from 2023 to 2028. This growth of the fintech market makes it even more prone to cyber-attacks. To prevent this there are certain measures and innovations let's find out more about them

Cybersecurity Measures in Fintech

To mitigate the ever-present threat of cyberattacks, fintech companies employ a multifaceted approach to cybersecurity problems and solutions. Here are some key measures:

1. Encryption

Encrypting data at rest and in transit is fundamental to protecting sensitive information. Strong encryption algorithms ensure that even if a hacker gains access to data, it remains unreadable without the decryption keys.

2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification (e.g., passwords, fingerprints, or security tokens) before gaining access to their accounts.

3. Continuous Monitoring

Fintech companies employ advanced monitoring systems that constantly assess network traffic for suspicious activities. This allows for real-time threat detection and rapid response.

4. Penetration Testing

Regular penetration testing, performed by ethical hackers, helps identify vulnerabilities in systems and applications before malicious actors can exploit them.

5. Employee Training

Human error is a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches. Companies invest in cybersecurity training programs to educate employees about best practices and the risks associated with cyber threats.

6. Incident Response Plans

Having a well-defined incident response plan in place ensures that, in the event of a breach, the company can respond swiftly and effectively to mitigate the damage.

Emerging Technologies in Fintech Cybersecurity

As cyber threats continue to evolve, so do cybersecurity technologies in fintech. Here are some emerging technologies that are making a significant impact:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI and machine learning algorithms are used to analyse vast amounts of data and identify patterns indicative of cyber threats. This allows for proactive threat detection and quicker response times.

2. Blockchain

Blockchain technology is employed to enhance the security and transparency of financial transactions. It ensures that transaction records are immutable and cannot be altered by malicious actors.

3. Biometrics

Fintech companies are increasingly adopting biometric authentication methods, such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, to provide a higher level of security than traditional passwords.

4. Quantum-Safe Encryption

With the advent of quantum computing, which poses a threat to current encryption methods, fintech companies are exploring quantum-safe encryption techniques to future-proof their security measures.

Conclusion

In the realm of fintech, where trust and security are paramount, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated. Fintech companies must remain vigilant, employing a combination of advanced digital transformation solutions, employee training, and robust incident response plans to protect sensitive financial data from cyber threats. As the industry continues to evolve, staying one step ahead of cybercriminals will be an ongoing challenge, but one that fintech firms must embrace to ensure their continued success and the safety of their customers' financial well-being.

Virtual Currency Market Growth Accelerates as Bitcoin Ethereum and Other Cryptocurrencies Reshape Digital Economy

The virtual currency market has rapidly transformed the global financial landscape, becoming a focal point of innovation, investment, and controversy. Born from the advent of blockchain technology, virtual currencies—also referred to as cryptocurrencies—represent a new class of digital assets that function independently of central banks and traditional financial institutions. Their decentralized nature, speculative appeal, and potential for disruption have attracted attention from individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide.

The roots of virtual currencies can be traced back to Bitcoin, introduced in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin’s decentralized protocol offered a peer-to-peer payment system based on cryptographic proof rather than trust in a central authority. This novel concept laid the groundwork for a vast and growing ecosystem of digital assets, now including thousands of cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Binance Coin, Solana, and many others. These assets serve various functions—from facilitating transactions to powering decentralized applications (dApps) and representing ownership through non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

At the core of the virtual currency market is blockchain technology. A blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions in a secure, transparent, and immutable manner. This technology has been heralded for its potential to eliminate intermediaries, reduce costs, and increase transparency in financial operations. However, it also presents regulatory challenges due to its pseudonymous nature and capacity to facilitate illicit activities when misused.

The market dynamics of virtual currencies differ significantly from traditional assets. Prices are often driven by speculation, investor sentiment, technological developments, and macroeconomic factors like inflation and interest rates. The volatility of virtual currencies is notable—prices can surge or plummet within hours based on news, social media trends, or regulatory changes. For instance, a tweet from an influential figure like Elon Musk has been known to cause major fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices.

Investors in the virtual currency market range from retail participants to institutional players. Hedge funds, family offices, and even publicly traded companies like Tesla and MicroStrategy have allocated capital to cryptocurrencies. The entry of institutional investors has added a degree of legitimacy to the market and led to the development of new financial products, such as cryptocurrency futures, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and custody solutions tailored for digital assets.

Despite its promise, the virtual currency market is fraught with risks. These include extreme volatility, lack of regulation, cyber threats, and potential market manipulation. Exchanges and wallets have been targeted by hackers, resulting in the loss of millions of dollars. Moreover, regulatory scrutiny is intensifying globally. Authorities in countries like the United States, China, and India are grappling with how to manage the growth of digital assets without stifling innovation or compromising financial stability.

Regulatory clarity is emerging as a key factor in shaping the future of the virtual currency market. Clear frameworks can help protect investors, combat illicit activity, and encourage responsible innovation. For example, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation aims to harmonize rules across member states, while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to evaluate whether and how various cryptocurrencies should be classified and regulated.

Another critical aspect of the market’s evolution is decentralized finance (DeFi). DeFi platforms aim to recreate traditional financial services—like lending, borrowing, and trading—without intermediaries, using smart contracts on blockchains. This segment of the market has grown exponentially but also faces unique challenges related to security, scalability, and regulatory compliance.

Looking forward, the virtual currency market is poised for continued growth and maturation. Technological advancements such as Ethereum’s shift to proof-of-stake, increased adoption by consumers and enterprises, and expanding use cases in gaming, supply chain, and identity verification signal a broader integration of digital assets into the global economy.

However, for the market to reach its full potential, collaboration between industry leaders, regulators, and technologists will be essential. Only through thoughtful regulation, robust infrastructure, and sustained innovation can the virtual currency market evolve from a speculative phenomenon to a foundational element of modern finance.

Level 5 HND in Cybersecurity: Build Skills That Really Matter

Let’s face it—cybersecurity is no longer optional. With the world becoming more digital every day, companies and governments need people who know how to keep information safe. If you’re curious about technology, love solving problems, and want to be part of a growing industry, the Level 5 HND in Computing – Cybersecurity could be a great fit.

This program isn’t just about learning how to stop hackers. It’s about understanding how systems work, how threats happen, and how to protect networks, data, and digital infrastructure from real-world cyber risks. You’ll gain practical, job-ready skills that employers actually need—like ethical hacking, information security, risk analysis, and digital forensics.

What makes the HND unique is its focus on hands-on learning. You won’t be stuck in theory all day. Instead, you’ll get to work on real projects, simulations, and case studies. You’ll learn how to think like a cybersecurity professional from day one—and by the time you finish, you’ll feel confident enough to step into a junior security role or continue your studies at a university level.

Now, you might be wondering: how does this connect to an English learning institute in Dubai? Surprisingly, there’s a strong link. Many students who join the HND program come from different parts of the world. For them, strong English communication skills are just as important as technical skills—especially in global job markets. That’s why some institutes in Dubai offer both cybersecurity courses and English language support under one roof.

Studying in Dubai also has its advantages. This city is a fast-growing tech hub with smart city projects, global tech companies, and government-backed innovation. You’re not just studying here—you’re preparing to work in one of the region’s most dynamic environments. Plus, you’re exposed to a multicultural atmosphere where learning happens both inside and outside the classroom.

The HND program also helps you build soft skills that matter—like critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and project management. These aren’t just “nice to have” skills. In the cybersecurity world, they’re essential. After all, being able to explain risks to a client or work under pressure with a team can make a big difference in your career.

After completing Level 5, you can jump straight into work, or you can choose to "top up" to a full bachelor's degree. Either way, you're building a strong foundation in one of today’s most in-demand industries.

If you’re looking to take your first big step into tech, or if you’re someone who wants both professional growth and improved language skills, consider a place that combines both. A well-rounded education—especially in a city like Dubai—can open doors you didn’t even know were there.
