Yes, you're reading that correctly.Meme StreakPresident-elect Donald Trump may have spent his career playing the role of a wheeler-dealer businessman, but his actual financial track record has always been dodgy he inherited a vast sum, declared bankruptcy at ventures ranging from a hotel to a casino, and estimates of his wealth have been a frequent topic of speculation for decades.Underscoring that tenuous real-world performance, it appears that Trump has now accumulated vastly more wealth in the past 24 hours than he did in his entire life previously. Yes, you're reading that correctly: since launching a meme coin called $TRUMP on the eve of his second presidency about a day ago, Axiosestimated earlier today that 89 percent of Trump's net worth was tied up in the cryptocurrency, putting it north of $60 billion and making him on paper, at least one of the world's 25 richest people.In a preview of Trump's certain-to-be-chaotic adventures in the world of blockchain, though, the coin subsequently crashed by about 50 percent meaning it still represents the overwhelming majority of Trump's worth, but makes him substantially poorer than he was this morning.Wallet InspectorWe should point out that none of this is remotely fair in any normal sense of the word; the only reason for $TRUMP's explosive growth is the fact that Trump is about to be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.In that position, two things will be true. First, Trump will have immense regulatory power over the crypto industry; after slamming the tech for years, he reversed his position when it became financially convenient to him, and has now nominated crypto advocate Paul Atkins as head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. And second, any wealthy people who need a favor from Trump will now be able to buy caches of his meme coin to earn influence.Add it all up, and the whole thing reeks to high heaven. Trump's crypto isn't shooting up in value because of any intrinsic technical or business acumen; it's doing so because investors believe rightly, in all likelihood that it will be a lucrative conflict of interest over the next four years.More on Donald Trump: Trump Pledges Information About Mystery Drones on Day One of PresidencyShare This Article

Jan 20, 2025Ravie LakshmananSupply Chain Attack / SolanaCybersecurity researchers have identified three sets of malicious packages across the npm and Python Package Index (PyPI) repository that come with capabilities to steal data and even delete sensitive data from infected systems.The list of identified packages is below -@async-mutex/mutex, a typosquat of async-mute (npm)dexscreener, which masquerades as a library for accessing liquidity pool data from decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and interacting with the DEX Screener platform (npm)solana-transaction-toolkit (npm)solana-stable-web-huks (npm)cschokidar-next, a typosquat of chokidar (npm)achokidar-next, a typosquat of chokidar (npm)achalk-next, a typosquat of chalk (npm)csbchalk-next, a typosquat of chalk (npm)cschalk, a typosquat of chalk (npm)pycord-self, a typosquat of discord.py-self (PyPI)Supply chain security company Socket, which discovered the packages, said the first four packages are designed to intercept Solana private keys and transmit them through Gmail's Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) servers with the likely goal of draining victims' wallets.Particularly, the packages solana-transaction-toolkit and solana-stable-web-huks programmatically deplete the wallet, automatically transferring up to 98% of its contents to an attacker-controlled Solana address, while claiming to offer Solana-specific functionality."Because Gmail is a trusted email service, these exfiltration attempts are less likely to be flagged by firewalls or endpoint detection systems, which treat smtp.gmail.com as legitimate traffic," security researcher Kirill Boychenko said.Socket said it also came across two GitHub repositories published by the threat actors behind solana-transaction-toolkit and solana-stable-web-huks that purport to contain Solana development tools or scripts for automating common DeFi workflows, but, in reality, import the threat actor's malicious npm packages.The GitHub accounts associated with these repositories, "moonshot-wif-hwan" and "Diveinprogramming," are no longer accessible."A script in the threat actor's GitHub repository, moonshot-wif-hwan/pumpfun-bump-script-bot, is promoted as a bot for trading on Raydium, a popular Solana-based DEX, but instead it imports malicious code from solana-stable-web-huks package," Boychenko said.The use of malicious GitHub repositories illustrates the attackers' attempts to stage a broader campaign beyond npm by targeting developers who might be searching for Solana-related tools on the Microsoft-owned code hosting platform.The second set of npm packages have been found to take their malicious functionality to the next level by incorporating a "kill switch" function that recursively wipes all files in project-specific directories, in addition to exfiltrating environment variables to a remote server in some cases.The counterfeit csbchalk-next package functions identically to the typosquatted versions of chokidar, the only difference being that it only initiates the data deletion operation after it receives the code "202" from the server.Pycord-self, on the other hand, singles out Python developers looking to integrate Discord APIs into their projects, capturing Discord authentication tokens and connecting to an attacker-controlled server for persistent backdoor access post installation on both Windows and Linux systems.The development comes as bad actors are targeting Roblox users with fraudulent libraries engineered to facilitate data theft using open-source stealer malware such as Skuld and Blank-Grabber. Last year, Imperva revealed that Roblox players on the lookout for game cheats and mods have also been targeted by bogus PyPI packages that trick them into downloading the same payloads.Found this article interesting?

(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCUFC 311 was a fun event.The Intuit Dome is an amazing venue for the UFC. Im hoping the promotion heads there twice a year moving forward. Im also hopeful the event offers some monetary and mental relief for residents in the area who have been dealing with the wildfires on some level.When looking back at the event in totality, heres my take on who and what saw their stock go up or down after UFC 311.UFC 311 Stock UpThe Intuit DomeI dont want to beat a dead horse, but take a look at some of these shots that were taken on Saturday night inside the Intuit Dome.INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: A general view of the Octagon during the UFC 311 event at Intuit ...

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)Getty ImagesI dont remember the last time I saw a more impressive win in a bantamweight championship fight. Dvalishvili was down two rounds on the majority of the three judges scorecards heading into the third frame.What does he do? Simply outpace Umar Nurmagomedov for the final three to prove he is the deserving champion at 135 pounds. Dvalishvili has now won 12 fights in a row.Heres who he has defeated on this streak:Umar NurmagomedovSean OMalleyHenry CejudoPetr YanJose AldoMarlon MoraesCody StamannJohn DodsonGustavo LopezCasey KenneyBrad KatonaTerrion WareDvalishvili is arguably on the most impressive streak in the history of the division.Umar NurmagomedovINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Umar Nurmagomedov of Russia prepares to face Merab Dvalishvili ...

(Photo by Cooper Neill/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCAs great as Dvalishvili was, he only had to be that good because of the level of his opponent. Nurmagomedov handled Dvalishvilis wrestling better than anyone else the champion has ever faced.While Dvalishvili did secure seven takedowns in the fight, Nurmagomedov stuffed 23 of the attempts. Everything about that stat is remarkable.All things considered, Im not sure if there is another bantamweight in the world who can beat Nurmagomedov.Ji ProchzkaINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Jiri Prochazka of the Czech Republic reacts after a victory ... [+] against Jamahal Hill in a light heavyweight fight during the UFC 311 event at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCEveryone knows Prochzka is a wild man with no shortage of toughness. What he showed us on Saturday is a level of defensevia enhanced head movementthat made him enjoy a serious upgrade in his TKO win over Jamahal Hill.Perhaps Alex Pereira is still Prochzkas kryptonite, but no other light heavyweight in the world has beaten him in 12 years.Jailton AlmeidaINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Jailton Almeida of Brazil reacts after his technical knockout ... [+] victory against Serghei Spivac of Moldova, not pictured, in a heavyweight fight during UFC 311 at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)Getty ImagesAlmeida has rebounded well following a disappointing loss to Curtis Blaydes in March 2024. The best thing about his win against Serghei Spivac on Saturday was that he set it up with his striking.An excellent combination wobbled Spivac before Almeida pounced and locked in the TKO just before the horn in the first round.Almeida called out Ciryl Gane, but before that, he might need to get his revenge against Blaydes or lock horns with the winner of Sergei Pavlovich vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik on February 1. Almeida has already beaten Rozenstruik, so well see how it plays out.Reinier de RidderINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Reinier de Ridder of The Netherlands poses for a portrait after ...

(Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCThe former two-division champion from ONE showed he deserves to be ranked in the UFC. He made very quick work of Kevin Holland in a fight that RDR seemed to know would be an easy assignment for him.Id love to see him in with No. 11 Paulo Costa or even No. 13 Jack Hermansson.Azamat BekoevInglewood, CA - January 18: Azamat Bekoev (blue) battles Zachary Reese (red) during their bout at ...

(Photo by Hans Gutknecht, Los Angeles Daily News/SCNG)MediaNews Group via Getty ImagesThe short-notice replacement made it clear he belongs in the UFC. Bekoev destroyed Zach Reese with some explosive ground-and-pound strikes. The 29-year-old looked like a guy who is perhaps two wins away from getting a ranked opponent.Ailn PrezINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Ailin Perez of Argentina reacts after a victory against Karol ... [+] Rosa of Brazil in a bantamweight fight during the UFC 311 event at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCBeyond the signature twerking she has become known for, Prez is rapidly improving as a fighter. She maintains an excellent work rate. Shes tough as nails and, most importantly, understands how to win rounds.Prez simply outworked Karol Rosa on Saturday night. When the new rankings drop, and with Holly Holm being released, Prez should leap from No. 13 to No. 8 in the womens bantamweight division.Muin GafurovINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Muin Gafurov of Tajikistan reacts after the second round against ... [+] Rinya Nakamura of Japan in a bantamweight fight during the UFC 311 event at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCSeveral fighters saw their undefeated records demolished on Saturday night. Gafurov was responsible for taking Rinya Nakamuras away.Gafurov is deceptively athletic. He swings and kicks with knock-you-into-next-week power with his strikes, and his ground game is strong.We need to see him produce a little more consistently, but he could be ready to make some noise at 135 pounds. When you consider he lost his first three fights in the UFC and might have been on the cusp of being released ahead of his win over Kyung Ho Kang in June 2024 (Kang was released earlier this month), Gafurov has experienced quite the rise.UFC Stock DownRenato MoicanoINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Renato Moicano of Brazil reacts after a submission loss against ... [+] Islam Makhachev of Russia in the UFC lightweight championship fight during the UFC 311 event at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Cooper Neill/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCWas it a slip or a knockdown? Thats one of the questions some viewers had after Islam Makhachev briefly hit the ground during a flurry from Moicano in the first round.No mattermoments later, the champion was showing, live and in color, that there are levels to this sport as he made the Brazilian tap quickly to a DArce choke. Quite frankly, Moicano is far from being at Makhachevs lofty height.Moicano wasnt expected to win, but he looked like the 10th-best lightweight in the world, and at 35 years oldto lose that waythats a ceiling-defining loss.Kevin HollandINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Reinier de Ridder of The Netherlands reacts after a victory ... [+] against Kevin Holland in a middleweight fight during the UFC 311 event at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCCharacter and personality are great. They help to sell fights and partially legitimize a fighters presence on a card. However, at some point, fighters have to consistently win to remain useful to the promotion.Holland has lost four of his last five fights and six of his last nine. At 32, hes far from old, but if he hopes to maximize his talent, he needs to make a choice to commit to a weight classideally welterweight.If hes to shift his losing ways, he may have to drop the approach that suggests he doesnt care about winning.Payton TalbottINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: Payton Talbott reacts after a bantamweight fight against Raoni ... [+] Barcelos of Brazil during the UFC 311 event at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Cooper Neill/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCTalbotts loss was not a fraud check. He is still the real deal. What we saw on Saturday was a young and talented prospect run into a tough veteran with an excellent gameplan who took the matchup and the odds personal.Combine that with Talbotts still-developing takedown defense and you get a one-sided major upset. Talbott has a lot of work to do when it comes to grappling, and because of his overall package, critics are going to point to all of the things surrounding his unique character as the reason he stumbled.True or not, that perception is especially damaging after a loss. That said, there is no question in my mind, hell be back.Rinya NakamuraINGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: (L-R) Muin Gafurov of Tajikistan drops Rinya Nakamura of Japan ... [+] with a punch in a bantamweight fight during the UFC 311 event at Intuit Dome on January 18, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCEven more than Talbott, Nakamura showed cracks in his game. Nakamuras stand-up defense was highly questionable, and he waited too long to look to take the fight to the ground where he would have been more comfortable against Gafurov.Nakamura is a lot further away from being ready to take the next step than Talbott. Quite honestly, pitting the two of them against each other next makes sense.Here is a look at all of the results from UFC 311.(c) Islam Makhachev def. Renato Moicano via first-round submission (Darce Choke)(c) Merab Dvalishvili def. Umar Nurmagomedov via unanimous decision (48-47x2, 49-46) - (FOTN)(POTN) Jiri Prochazka def.

DJI Flip | The Skies Are Calling | CinematicDJI has shared a new video (above) showing off the kind of impressive cinematic imagery that its possible to obtain with its recently released Flip drone.Recommended VideosSoar over sweeping desert dunes with the DJI Flip, a foldable drone that turns every flight into cinematic magic, the company says in a message accompanying the video.Please enable Javascript to view this contentDJI adds: Weighing under 249g, with a bright f1.7 aperture, dual native ISO, and advanced LIDAR tracking, this compact drone captures breathtaking 4K footage thats as smooth as the sands below.The footage certainly looks breathtaking, though according to DJI, youll have to tweak it in post-production to get similarly dramatic results. The quadcopters 10-bit D-Log M color mode supports recording up to one billion colors and helps retain more highlight and shadow details for increased flexibility when editing, DJI says, adding that even in high-contrast scenarios, like sunrises and sunsets, it delivers natural color gradations with delicate details for a full-spectrum visual experience.Unveiled last week, DJIs Flip quadcopter could prove popular with vloggers and content creators looking for something compact and reasonably priced it starts at $439 to record their adventures, though its relatively simple flight controls mean that folks coming to drones for the first time might also take a close look.DJIs latest drone is more advanced than the more affordable Neo, which launched last year, but sits below the Mini 4 Pro in terms of features and capabilities. The Flip has a maximum flight time of up to 31 minutes on a single charge, a control range of up to 8.1 miles (13 kilometers), and can operate at altitudes of up to 9,840 feet (3,000 meters). Importantly, its able to stay steady in wind speeds of up to 10.7 meters per second (for comparison, the Neo can handle speeds of up to 8 meters per second), ensuring that those cinematic shots arent ruined by distracting wobbles.Considering that it wasnt so long ago that you needed a helicopter and a huge budget to get aerial shots as beautiful as this, it really is quite astonishing how drone technology has utterly changed the game when it comes to filming from the sky.Editors Recommendations

Ukrainian strikes have forced Russia to reduce its ammo usage, Oleksandr Syrskyi said.The Ukrainian commander in chief said Russian shell usage has "practically halved" for months.Ukraine has been hitting ammo depots, oil facilities, and factories deep inside Russia for months.Ukraine's military commander in chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said Russia has cut down its artillery ammo usage in recent months due to Ukrainian strikes on the Kremlin's production facilities."For several months now, the artillery ammunition expenditure rates in the Russian army have practically halved," Syrskyi told Ukrainian broadcaster TSN in an interview released on Sunday."Here is a vivid example," Syrskyi added. "If previously the figure reached up to 40,000 rounds per day, it is now significantly lower."Syrskyi attributed the reduction to Ukraine's attacks on "industrial enterprises" that manufacture ammunition, missile parts, and other weaponry on Russian soil.His comments come as Ukraine has increasingly reported that it's been carrying out long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities, munitions factories, and ammunition depots across the border.On Tuesday, Kyiv said it had launched its "largest attack" on Russian targets with missiles and drones, including hits on a fuel storage facility for bombers and a factory that produces rocket parts and artillery ammo.Russia's defense ministry said that it shot down nearly 150 drones that evening, providing an indicator of the operation's scale.Ukraine says its attacks on Russian facilities continue, with another reported strike on a gunpowder factory in the Tambov region on Thursday.Its monthslong pattern of long-range attacks underscores Kyiv's ability to break through air defenses and hit facilities deep inside Russian territory.Some of its most notable strikes happened when Ukraine attacked three ammunition depots in Krasnodar and Tver in September, areas that are hundreds of miles behind the border.The UK's defense ministry said at the time that at least one of these depots saw the loss of 30,000 tons of ammunition, saying that the trio of strikes resulted in the largest loss of Russian and North Korean ammunition up to that point in the war.North Korea has been supplying artillery systems and millions of shells to Russia since early 2024.Any strain on Russia's ammo production and reserves would likely be significant for the war because analysts say it's becoming increasingly clear that the fate of the battlefield hinges on the quantity of weapons and manpower available to either side.To meet the war's demands, Russia's defense sector has swelled to staggering levels when considering its total spending. Its defense budget grew from $59 billion in 2022 to $109 billion in 2023. The Kremlin is planning to spend about 13.5 trillion rubles, or about $131 billion now, on defense in 2025.That's nearly a third of its entire federal budget and is up from 10.8 trillion rubles in 2024.Russia's defense ministry did not respond to a request for comment sent outside regular business hours by Business Insider.

Wildness Promenade / BDSD Boundless DesignSave this picture! GreenimagesHuizhou, ChinaArchitects: BDSD Boundless DesignAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:1200 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Greenimages Lead Architects: Lin Wenke, Sun zhengyuan More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. The Wildness Promenade is located in Zone C of the Wild Island Cultural & Life Community. The predecessor of the community was the Dongjiang Wine Factory built in 1951. On the basis of retaining the original 18 building groups and the landscape texture, it has gradually become the most vibrant cultural community in Huizhou since the renovation started in 2019. The story of BDSD BoundlessDesign and Wild Island began in 2021. We created a bookstore, Ueno Bookstore. In 2022, we once again completed the renewal of the public garden of Wild Island, and in 2024, we carried out the renovation of Zone C of Wild Island.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Take "Wildness Promenade" as the theme of this renovation, we continue the spirit and atmosphere of the site in a way that interweaves the old with the new and creates brand-new memory points with new structures, allowing people to experience the collision and integration of the new and the old as they walk through. It links landscapes, promenades, squares and buildings in the three dimensions of points, lines, and surfaces, creating open spaces of different scales and realizing rich horizontal and vertical layers.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Corridors: Construct Smooth Circulation Lines. The old factory buildings from over 70 years ago are rugged and imposing. The remaining structures stand independently, lacking a systematic layout. To integrate the architecture with commercial spaces and create a sense of enjoyment in wandering, it's essential to bridge the fragmented feel of the existing site. On one hand, we must consider the original architectural conditions; on the other, we need to bridge the gap between the old buildings and new application scenarios.Save this picture!Save this picture!Preservation is the best design expression for the renovation of historical buildings. To avoid unnecessary demolition and modification, we have reorganized the circulation lines, connecting the spaces with lightweight sky bridges and stairs, bringing a smooth overall experience. It expands the single wandering function on the circulation lines, optimizes the accessibility of the second floor, and combines the protection and innovation of the old buildings.Save this picture!Steps: Delicate Remodeling on a Micro Scale. Before the renovation, the side of Zone C close to the park's exit was unattractive, and few visitors would enter the entire park through it. BDSD Boundless Design hopes that through the renovation of the exit, the buildings can be integrated with the pedestrian paths, and be connected in series. This will not only enrich the park's visiting experience but also attract visitors to come and take pictures. The open function serves as both a passageway and a stepped plaza, meeting the needs of celebrations during holidays. When stepping onto the steps, the open roads among the buildings are connected with the iconic old chimney on the axis.Save this picture!Wildness: The Ruggedness of Nature. The designer hopes to present the charm of nature invisibly. By preserving the original tall plants and creating a wild garden where plants can grow freely, the disorder of nature collides with the exquisite geometry of human craftsmanship, enhancing the ambiance of the old buildings. The time frozen in the industrial style is interwoven with the natural cycle of growth and withering in the four seasons, and the present and the future are gradually merging.Save this picture!Save this picture!"A growing living block" is the principle that BDSD Boundless Design has continuously adhered to during the four-year-long renewal of Wild Island. Space is like a container that can hold people's joys, excitements, and melancholy, and can endow history and old buildings with new vitality. Each renovation is just a starting point, and only by leaving room for growth can the space truly be returned to people.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Huizhou, ChinaLocation to be used only as a reference.
