Wasn't the attack on Terhran Oil refinery clearly the first one?

That was after Israel targetted that Oil refinery in Tehran. And killed one of it's military leaders. Multiple infact.
Let's be clear here, as much as Iran is vengeful, they seem to be the more level headed (because of what they stand to loose) of the two theocracies going at each other in this conflict.
And Israel has never really needed an excuse to go destroy critical infrastructure and people in another country. For them that's like tuesday.

>holding back the bomb because they know that use of it would guarantee their destruction. But if they're going down anyways might as well
>I still don't think most people understand the degree of fundamentalist mindset that some of these people have.
That's just anyone. That's what MAD is about. If I'm going down anyway, then everyone is too. This is not an Iran or fundamentalist thing.

This assumes US knew about the Israeli attack. Israelis are blind with bloodlust right now and if they had free reign they would level Iran if they could, destroy all possibilities of any great nation ever rising from the ashes of Iran.
Israel is fighting this war with existential anxiety, and it has no moral qualms to hold it back. The only thing holding it back is USA, and they will sneak past maximum damage to Iran under their nose. Like a spoilt favourite child.

YES! Please!
We need to save our software and archive it for future generations!
(And so that those fuckers can't retro-actively patch an offline game to be online only after ten years of release. Fuck Ubisoft for soft locking my copy of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.)

Why would you? It just makes it needlessly complicated. The envelop for which it was designed for considers the only handlers to be trained not be incompetent.

It's just one of those problems that has decided to live in my head. I do not trust authorities very much, I do not like them. Some way to hold them accountable is always attractive to me.
Another thing that precipitated this idea was that with the advent of AI, I wanted to find some way to keep tabs on reality on the internet.

Currently? Nowhere, but I had been thinking about evidence authentication for things like surveillance videos against accusations of manipulation, maybe with AI. Every hardware provider company would do it themselves, or offer to integrate it with an existing service. Why would they use blockchain instead of a database? Because it would be authenticable by multiple different orgs and agencies.
Or you could have the evidence or document signed with a key. But they could argue that

Authentication of documents that cannot be retracted. For govt institutions to issue a document that then lives on forever. Govts might hate it because they cannot retract the fact of its existence, thus making it very valuable for everyone else when it comes to authenticity.
Like NFTs, but for official documents.
I realise it's like govt databases that researchers can download and reference later, but more formalised and redundant.

Hey Molly,
What are your thoughts about use of blockchain as a database for document authentication among large public organizations like governmental organs? It would be a way for governments to authenticate a document in such a way that can never be denied again. Would it be any better than just a normal intensional database?

Maybe not use those exact words in your ultimatum. Things are about to get wild. Rather not join Charlie Stross memorial strongly worded letter and march.
