Romance Scams Across Borders

-
Image
Globalized World We live in a strange contradiction. On one hand, humans invented nations, borders, religions, gender roles, and money, concepts so “real” they exist mostly in our collective imagination. On the other hand, local societies often had to endure very real hardships: closed-minded living, few opportunities, and self-imposed cages of limitation. Then, for a glorious moment, salvation seemed near: the internet arrived, international organizations popped up, borders softened, and the “Union of Countries” type projects promised free movement. The world felt open. Of course, nothing global comes without side effects. Alongside global trade and collaboration came global tax loopholes, worldwide criminal syndicates, and scams that can now reach everyone, everywhere, from anywhere . Online Scams 2.0 Online fraud isn’t new. What is new is how easy it’s become. In the beginning, only a few highly skilled nerds knew how to exploit digital cracks in the system. Today? Anyone with a Wi...

Simulation Creates Realities

-
Image
  Simulation Creates Realities I can see a near future where humans stop smashing things in real life just to see what happens. No more expensive crash tests, no more wind tunnels sucking up billions of dollars, no more logistic and production nightmare on construction site or “oops, we broke another robot.” Instead, simulations will do the heavy lifting. Immense AI databases will crunch the properties of materials down to the atomic level and give us the most precise outcome imaginable. And honestly we’re already halfway there. Today, companies use AI to simulate how robots move, or to teach one how to do a backflip. Is that a useful feature? Probably not. But hey, at least it’s cheaper to fail in virtual reality than in the factory, where “oops” means six months of repairs and a crying engineer. The result? Fewer broken robots, fewer wasted weeks, and a lot more laughing at digital screw-ups before trying them in real life. We are heading into a world where we trust the s...

What’s the best way to cross the ocean?

Image
Hello, world long time no see 😊s ince January 2021, when I paused blogging, it feels like I lived another life. On the road I met an amazing girl who became my wife. We moved from place to place and eventually landed in Stockholm, Sweden, where routine and daily challenges took over. We divorced about half a year ago for for the same reason many couples divorce, the usual mix of personality, feelings, and mindset. In the same time, I got deep into tracking and improving my health, and the wave of new AI tools surprised us all with what they can do. The pace of change is crazy. In these four years my awareness grew a lot, and since June 2025 I’m back on my path, exploring new places. What’s best for whom when crossing the ocean                Today I’m in Canada. I didn’t take the “usual” way I would’ve liked I took the plane. As a curious note, flying pumps out far more CO₂ than a sailboat would, and it adds a bit of extra radiation to the...

Space Technology on The Earth. Water Management.

-
Image
As we know space is quite a hostile environment. Very cold, no air, no pressure, no gravitation and without natural resources yet people managed to colonize the low orbit of the Earth.  To lift one kg to space costs about 2700$/kg or less for the cheapest cargo carriers as Falcon 9 of SpaceX [1] . It is very expensive if we compare how much it costs to send one kg on an airplane which is above 4$/kg [2] .  The price and unfriendly ambient, placed people in the corner to find the solution of water management in space. People were pushed to reconsider what is water and how to use it when the only water source is on the Earth. The previous knowledge of personal hygiene and disposal of urine had endured rigorous scientific researches and tests to ensure the basic needs of water in space. The water system in space is nearly perfekt in terms of sustainability. Personal hygiene is performed with less water than ever before yet without compromising the health of astronauts.  The ...

Extracting The Future from The Present

            It has been a while since my last appearance on this page which wasn't caused directly by me. Such a decision to retract from writing, I made only because I faced covid-19.  Covid-19 after being around for one year still ravages outside the window and I thought perhaps it is time to give a new life and meaning to old forgotten things, namely to my abandoned travel blog.       Idea of writing a book was circling around my head for many years though low esteem in my writing skills and limited time by routine work wouldn't allow me to break the ice into initiation of putting down my reflections.      To achieve my goal of writing I quit my job which  generated the precious free time for drafting and the writing skills I somehow achieved with my traveling blog.      I am still far away to master the writing craft which wasn't anyway my final goal. I aimed ...

First time flight in nearly 4 years. The end of my journey.

Wading through corona turmoil While being in Sri Lanka the entire crew, after a long debate where to sail next, decided that the first coming stop will be in Oman but guess what, after I applied and paid for my visa Oman officials announced that it closed the borders to prevent spreading of the coronavirus. After this completely unprepared action that limited considerably our next choice we decided to sail to Djibouti and as soon as we were preparing for departure the news broke with negative waves from Djibouti which alerted us of locking airports and closed the borders. Eventually we left Sri Lanka on a positive note with suspicion that coronavirus will ease the grip of the world and the borders will be open by the time we will arrive in Djibouti, after 3-4 weeks of sailing.       [1]      After roughly 24 hours of sailing we found ourselves in a non wind spot, with a flat surface comparable to a mirror that reflected sun in all the directio...

Corona virus part 2. Consequences that changed the world

Image
[1] Worldwide virus outbreak drill One could feel a prodigious scale game going on, from alarming news in distant places that never would reach or affect one directly to quickly stiffened with enforced governmental emergency surge in front of your eyes to unfold in a mature poisoned drama. Tension with periodic lockdowns could be felt as unrealistic war-like conditions which gave a feeling of playing a role in a life scene from an abysmal apocalyptic, lab escaped virus outbreak movie. It seems however that governments around the planet had a global real-life drill simulation, it appears that they have just tested their technical aptitudes and preparedness methods for a future global outbreak and to justify their action they marched under the cover of coronavirus outbreak because indeed it is the best opportunity to act without legislating laws and even with less interrogation for indictment from the public community.           [2] If the WHO's vi...
