May 26, 2022 – “NIST has published NIST Internal Report (NIST IR) 8403, Blockchain for Access Control Systems. “The rapid development and wide application of distributed network systems have made network security – especially access control and data privacy – ever more important. 

Blockchain technology offers features such as decentralization, high confidence, and tamper-resistance, which are advantages to solving auditability, resource consumption, scalability, central authority, and trust issues – all of which are challenges for network access control by traditional mechanisms. This document presents general information for blockchain access control systems from the views of blockchain system properties, components, functions, and supports for access control policy models. Considerations for implementing blockchain access control systems are also included.”


Popular Mechanics – One of the largest crime-waves in recent years could cost you thousands: “…According to the Universal Technical Institute, there are typically 3 to 7 grams of platinum, 2 to 7 grams of palladium, and 1 to 2 grams of rhodium in the standard converter. 

PGMs are rare. They form inside intrusive igneous complexes, mineral patterns that occur when layers of subterranean magma cool into igneous rock and settle between pre-existing layers of the earth’s crust. The magma’s gradual cooling contributes to high crystallization—one can see the mineral makeup of these layers with the naked eye—which in turn contributes to the layering common to intrusive complexes. 

These specific geologic conditions are the only circumstances under which PGMs appear in nature, says Frank Hallam, President of Canadian mining company Platinum Group Metals, LTD. While a variety of industries, including computer hardware and medical tools, use PGMs like palladium, the automotive industry uses over 80 percent of the global supply of palladium each year. 

This intense demand exceeds what mining can supply, so the autocat recycling industry steps up to supplement the rest. More than 90 percent of the PGMs in an old catalytic converter can be recovered, and industry estimates suggest that recycled PGMs account for 40 to 50 percent of the annual supply. Recyclers typically buy used catalytic converters in thousand-pound lots from scrap yards, or take them from the junked cars they buy by the thousands, Froneman says, noting his company processes up to 24 tons of old catalytic converters per day. Used autocats are “decanned” with hydraulic shears, then the PGM-coated honeycomb substrate is removed, pulverized, smelted, and refined. 

From there, the PGMs are sold to original equipment manufacturers that build new catalytic converters for auto manufacturers. Whereas mining yields around 16 grams of PGMs per ton of ore, recycling yields up to 2300 grams per ton of old catalysts, Froneman says—a lucrative industry for miners, refiners, and thieves…”







WSJ [paywall] – “Wages for the median workers at the majority of big American companies are higher than they were before the pandemic, with the tight job markethelping to lift paydays for many bank tellers, factory workers and software programmers. 
Compensation in 2021 for the median worker at 275 companies in the S&P 500 index was higher than in 2019, including 150 companies where it increased 10% or more from 2019, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Half as many firms reported their median worker’s 2021 compensation decreased by 10% or more.”

Wired – Searching clerks’ phones to find out who leaked the Dobbs opinion sets a dangerous precedent of exploiting digital rights. “Following the leak of a draft opinion striking down abortion rights, the Supreme Court’s police force (the Marshal’s Office) launched an unprecedented probe to uncover who leaked the decision. Already, authorities have demanded phone records, signed affidavits, and law clerks’ devices. The scrutiny is so intense that many onlookers have suggested that clerks retain attorneys to protect their rights. 

While it’s unclear how broad the cellphone searches are, or the exact language of clerks’ affidavits, the intrusive probe reveals a disturbing about-face from the Supreme Court, and particularly Chief Justice John Roberts, on surveillance powers…”
