Ladies & Gentlemen, we have managed to get the @EUCouncil ' EU Inc files. The ones that matter. The ones where we see the position of Each Member state: including who pushed the notaries' agenda.
Buckle up and Repost. 🍿 Now if you are from those Member States, make some noise.
Directly or through associations, politicians. Enjoy the thread 🧵 1/

“Pretty early on I realized that quite a few VCs, they are not very operational, and they can be actually dangerous for the company if they have enough power. So every single investment round, we just remove VCs. Now I don't have any VCs on the board. I think that's the best.”
Revolut founder Nik Storonsky says one of his investors tried forcing him to fire his best person:
“He was forcing me to fire my best person, because he was too hardcore.”
“Of course I didn’t fire him. I said no.”
“Pretty early on I realized that quite a few VCs, they are not very operational, and they can be actually dangerous for the company if they have enough power. So every single investment round, we just remove VCs.”
“Now I don't have any VCs on the board. I think that's the best. You always need to have operators rather than VCs on the board, people who actually build business and who know how to do things.”

Over 1 million PHP services were patched in the past 24 hours - but ~40 million vulnerable services are still online (@censysio) php2shell.censys.com/
this week:
while true; do
for host in $(cat servers.txt); do
ssh $host "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y"
done
sleep 1m
done

Leaving this here, PHP 8.5.12 security patch is incomplete. ( needs further validation )
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The PHP 8.5.12 release fixes the two specific CVEs (via state/bailout changes) detailed in official advisories; referenced "surviving paths" (e.g. var_destroy UAF) are separate pre-existing unserialize issues unrelated to this patch.

At this point the whole EU Inc negotiations are so lost in the details that everyone forgot the main goal: Creating a standard.
Basically, allow founders to raise quickly globally and use stock options to hire competitively.
Let’s say it quite clearly:
1) If EU Inc isn’t providing a standard it’s useless. We already got 30+ legal entities in Europe. Experienced founders use Delaware Inc already because of this.
2) If EU Inc doesn’t fix stock options Delaware Inc is still the better option.
I understand the there are complex details and people are worried about loopholes. But you can’t lose the actual goal of it because of it.
An EU Inc that doesn't provide a standard is pointless. Nobody will care about intricacies of compromises reached in political committees if the market can't use the outcome.
If you are in contact with your political leaders (prime ministers, presidents, et al) please reach out to them. Or to founders/investors in your network who might have that access.

Ich hab da mal was angefangen.
Aktuell hilft Adler AI mit Infos. Step by Step. Inkl. den nötigen Formularen. So simpel wie möglich.
Ohne Mitarbeit der Behörden wird Adler AI aber nichts *ausführen* oder *einreichen* können. Die Frage ist, ob Step by Step Hilfe für Behördengänge aller Art bereits hilfreich sind.
Weitermachen?

I made a Markdown-like format for forms/surveys. Been sitting on this idea for a few years. Feedback welcome!

So, @AnthropicAI has Opus 5.5, but you still have to manually copy and paste your Sign-in-with-Apple email address on the desktop, because adding Sign-in-with-Apple on the @claudeai desktop app is such an elite problem that not even Opus can fix that. 🤷🏻♂️
