About Drow Economy

From Drow of the Underdark (3.5e):

The drow economy consists of three separate yet inextricably intertwined systems of exchange, each of which is largely specific to a particular social and political caste.

Coins

When dealing with drow of a lower station, such as when a matriarch or priestess purchases goods from a vendor, the race makes use of coinage - just as do most surface dwellers. Gold, silver, and other precious metals have roughly the same buying power in drow communities as they do elsewhere, though the rate of exchange varies somewhat based on available metals, scarcity of resources, and the mood of the drow doing the shopping.

The drow rarely mint their own coins, preferring to make use of foreign monies brought in by outside traders or taken in raids on other races. On those rare occasions when they do mint coins, the results are exceptionally plain, either totally unadorned or stamped with the signs of Lolth and/or the house who produced them. The drow also use coins when trading with others, unless the foreigner has something of particular interest to sell.

Barter

Although one low-ranking drow might use coins to purchase goods or services from another low-ranking drow, the standard form of exchange between relative equals is a system of barter. A swordsmith might offer the neighboring baker a new blade in exchange for a few weeks’ worth of bread. A cleric might heal a wounded soldier, if the soldier in turn agrees to kill someone to whom the cleric owes a debt. A priestess might perform a marriage ceremony in exchange for several barrels of fine lichen wine and a potion of invisibility. At the upper levels of society, drow might trade slaves, individually or by the dozens, in exchange for exotic animals, valuable works of art, or access to a fertile mushroom farm.

Favors

The third practice, common only among the drow elite, is the exchange of favors. This system creates a web of debts and obligations that often stretches across the entirety of the house and church leadership, frequently binding drow to complete strangers by only one or two “steps.” A typical agreement of this sort might resemble the following: “If you ally with me to prevent the Matron of House Inlindl from gaining control of the northern trade route, I will owe you a great favor in exchange.”

The interesting thing about this system of boons is that drow actually prefer to pay off their debts as soon as possible. For a drow, having too many obligations hanging over one’s head is tantamount to political and social suicide. She cannot afford to directly challenge anyone to whom she owes a great favor, for fear of that favor being called in and ruining one of her ongoing schemes. Additionally, high-caste drow often trade favors to third parties, meaning that a matriarch might find herself suddenly obligated to someone with whom she would never willingly have cooperated, or even someone she doesn’t know.

One might imagine that the drow would simply ignore these commitments, but despite their selfish nature, very few actually do so. They know that if they refuse to acknowledge a legitimate debt, word will spread swiftly and nobody will deal with them in the future. They might even find the other houses turning against them, seeking to eliminate the threat to the system and the status quo.

Promise Tokens

Not even enlightened self-interest is always enough to keep the drow honest, so a wise dark elf making one of these deals often demands the exchange of promise tokens. These are small baubles or pendants, often made of silver, that are engraved with the symbol of the drow’s family or house. They are often also marked invisibly, such as with the arcane mark spell. If a drow refuses to honor a debt, the creditor might present the promise token as evidence of the arrangement when besmirching her name and seeking redress. Of course, it’s not impossible to fake a promise token, but their frequent usage does make reneging on a debt - or making one up - somewhat difficult.

He should have STAYED and RESISTED and FOUGHT!!!!

Make them fire him and then tell the world WHY!!!!

According to the newspaper, Lebryk has clashed with allies of Musk, whom Trump has named to lead his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), over access to payment systems that the agency uses to distribute more than $6 trillion annually to households and businesses.

Social Security and Medicare benefits, paychecks for federal employees, and payments to government contractors and grant recipients all flow through the payment systems run by the Bureau of Fiscal Service, among thousands of other functions.

Since Trump won the election in November, officials Musk has named as DOGE staffers have been asking for access to the payment systems, and the demands have been reiterated since the president took office last week, the Post reported.

Mark Mazur, who served in the department under Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, said the push for access to the systems from an advisory committee aligned with a partisan agenda suggests "bad intentions" from Musk and his allies.

"This is a mechanical job—they pay Social Security benefits, they pay vendors, whatever," said Mazur. "It's not one where there's a role for nonmechanical things, at least from the career standpoint. Your whole job is to pay the bills as they're due. It's never been used in a way to execute a partisan agenda."

The idea that "good government technocrats could work with Musk and DOGE to improve technology and services" has been proven to be "all grift," added Owens in a post on Musk's social media platform, X.

Bossware Surveillance Buildings

A case study on technologies for behavioral monitoring and profiling using motion sensors and wireless networking infrastructure inside offices and other facilities"

Wolfie Christl, Cracked Labs, November 2024

This case study is part of the ongoing project “Surveillance and Digital Control at Work” (2023-2024) led by Cracked Labs, which aims to explore how companies use personal data on workers in Europe, together with AlgorithmWatch, Jeremias Prassl (Oxford), UNI Europa and GPA, funded by the Austrian Arbeiterkammer.

Case study “Tracking Indoor Location, Movement and Desk Occupancy in the Workplace” (PDF, 25 pages) Summary

As offices, buildings and other corporate facilities become networked environments, there is a growing desire among employers to exploit data gathered from their existing digital infrastructure or additional sensors for various purposes. Whether intentionally or as a byproduct, this includes personal data about employees, their movements and behaviors.

Technology vendors are promoting solutions that repurpose an organization’s wireless networking infrastructure as a means to monitor and analyze the indoor movements of employees and others within buildings. While GPS technology is too imprecise to track indoor location, Wi-Fi access points that provide internet connectivity for laptops, smartphones, tables and other networked devices can be used to track the location of these devices. Bluetooth, another wireless technology, can also be used to monitor indoor location. This can involve Wi-Fi access points that track Bluetooth-enabled devices, so-called “beacons” that are installed throughout buildings and Bluetooth-enabled badges carried by employees. In addition, employers can utilize badging systems, security cameras and video conferencing technology installed in meeting rooms for behavioral monitoring, or even environmental sensors that record room temperature, humidity and light intensity. Several technology vendors provide systems that use motion sensors installed under desks or in the ceilings of rooms to track room and desk attendance.

This case study explores software systems and technologies that utilize personal data on employees to monitor room and desk occupancy and track employees’ location and movements inside offices and other corporate facilities. It focuses on the potential implications for employees in Europe. To illustrate wider practices, it investigates systems for occupancy monitoring and indoor location tracking offered by Cisco, Juniper, Spacewell, Locatee and other technology vendors, based on an analysis of technical documentation and other publicly available sources. It briefly addresses how workers resisted the installation of motion sensors by their employers. This summary presents an overview of the findings of this case study….

What is Open Source Software (OSS) and its advantages?

Open Source Development Services

Open Source Software (OSS) is software within the source or base code that is completely available for all and anyone to view, modify, and distribute openly. Unlike the proprietary software owned and controlled by a single company, OSS is built on collaboration and transparency. At the heart of OSS lies the concept and vision of Open Source, where the developers and coders from worldwide contribute towards building, improving and maintaining the software openly which can be changed or edited at any point.

Key Advantages of Open Source Software:

1. Cost-Effective -

One of the most significant advantages of OSS is that it's usually free to use. There are no expensive and costly fees, licenses or subscription fees that may hit to the next level. Open Source Development is ideal for startups, small businesses, and organizations looking to reduce IT costs without sacrificing functionality.

2. Flexibility and Customization -

Access to their source code allows and grants the businesses to customize their software to fit as per their unique business needs or as per their objectives. Open Source Development will enable users to add new features, integrate with other tools, or modify existing functions—something proprietary software often limits.

3. Strong Community Support -

Larger size of communities of developers back most of the OSS projects. These communities offer the regular set of updates, bug fixes, and improvements. If you encounter the issues, someone in the community has already solved them or can provide help and better assistance.

4. Transparency and Security -

Because the code is open, it can be reviewed by anyone. This transparency and open to factor allows the developers and coders to spot and fix their vulnerabilities quickly, making the OSS more secure than closed-source alternatives as compared to others. Open Source Development encourages peer review, leading to more reliable and safe software.

5. No Vendor Lock-In -

Open Source Software gives you complete control and reliability. You're not tied to a specific vendor, platform, or pricing model with this implementation. You can switch the providers, modify your systems, or build your features without any restrictions with its implementation.

Cloud Migration and Integration A Strategic Shift Toward Scalable Infrastructure

In today’s digital-first business environment, cloud computing is no longer just a technology trend—it’s a foundational element of enterprise strategy. As organizations seek greater agility, scalability, and cost-efficiency, cloud migration and integration have emerged as critical initiatives. However, transitioning to the cloud is far from a lift-and-shift process; it requires thoughtful planning, seamless integration, and a clear understanding of long-term business objectives.

What is Cloud Migration and Why Does It Matter

Cloud migration involves moving data, applications, and IT processes from on-premises infrastructure or legacy systems to cloud-based environments. These environments can be public, private, or hybrid, depending on the organization’s needs. While the move offers benefits such as cost reduction, improved performance, and on-demand scalability, the true value lies in enabling innovation through flexible technology infrastructure.

But migration is only the first step. Cloud integration—the process of configuring applications and systems to work cohesively within the cloud—is equally essential. Without integration, businesses may face operational silos, inconsistent data flows, and reduced productivity, undermining the very purpose of migration.

Key Considerations in Cloud Migration

A successful cloud migration depends on more than just transferring workloads. It involves analyzing current infrastructure, defining the desired end state, and selecting the right cloud model and service providers. Critical factors include:

Application suitability: Not all applications are cloud-ready. Some legacy systems may need reengineering or replacement.

Data governance: Moving sensitive data to the cloud demands a strong focus on compliance, encryption, and access controls.

Downtime management: Minimizing disruption during the migration process is essential for business continuity.

Security architecture: Ensuring that cloud environments are resilient against threats is a non-negotiable part of migration planning.

Integration for a Unified Ecosystem

Once in the cloud, seamless integration becomes the linchpin for realizing operational efficiency. Organizations must ensure that their applications, databases, and platforms communicate efficiently in real time. This includes integrating APIs, aligning with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and enabling data exchange across multiple cloud platforms.

Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Strategies

Cloud strategies have evolved beyond single-provider solutions. Many organizations now adopt hybrid (combining on-premise and cloud infrastructure) or multi-cloud (using services from multiple cloud providers) approaches. While this enhances flexibility and avoids vendor lock-in, it adds complexity to integration and governance.

To address this, organizations need a unified approach to infrastructure orchestration, monitoring, and automation. Strong integration frameworks and middleware platforms become essential in stitching together a cohesive IT ecosystem.

Long-Term Value of Cloud Transformation

Cloud migration and integration are not one-time projects—they are ongoing transformations. As business needs evolve, cloud infrastructure must adapt through continuous optimization, cost management, and performance tuning.

Moreover, integrated cloud environments serve as the foundation for emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT), enabling businesses to innovate faster and more efficiently.

By treating cloud migration and integration as strategic investments rather than tactical moves, organizations position themselves to stay competitive, agile, and future-ready.

Omniston: Redefining Decentralized Trading on STONfi DEX

When it comes to decentralized finance (DeFi), one question often looms large: How can we make trading more secure, efficient, and accessible for everyone? The answer may lie in Omniston, a groundbreaking innovation on STONfi DEX that’s transforming how we think about liquidity and trading.

In this article, I’ll break down what Omniston is, why it matters, and how it could be the future of trading for both the TON ecosystem and the broader DeFi industry.

What Is Omniston

At its core, Omniston is a decentralized liquidity protocol designed to work seamlessly within the STONfi DEX. Instead of relying on traditional liquidity pools, Omniston connects traders directly with market makers through a Request for Quote (RFQ) mechanism.

Imagine you’re at a bustling farmer’s market. Instead of blindly accepting the first price offered for a basket of apples, you get to ask every vendor for their best price. Once you find the best deal, you make the purchase directly, without middlemen or unnecessary fees. That’s essentially how Omniston works—only in the digital world of cryptocurrency trading.

Why Does Omniston Matter

If you’ve ever traded on a DEX, you know that security, slippage, and liquidity fragmentation can be major headaches. Omniston tackles these challenges head-on, offering a suite of benefits that make trading not only safer but also more transparent and cost-effective.

1. Full Control Over Your Funds

With Omniston, you’re always in charge. Funds stay in your wallet until the moment a trade is executed. There’s no need to deposit assets into a centralized exchange or third-party platform. It’s as if you were holding your cash until the very second you hand it over for a purchase—ensuring complete control and minimizing risks.

2. No Middlemen, Just Smart Contracts

In traditional trading systems, trust often rests on third parties, like brokers or centralized platforms. Omniston eliminates this need. Using smart contracts, trades happen only when both parties meet the agreed terms. Think of it as a handshake deal that’s automatically enforced by technology—no room for misunderstandings or foul play.

3. Transparent and Predictable Pricing

We’ve all experienced hidden fees or unexpected costs at some point, whether in traditional finance or crypto. Omniston’s RFQ mechanism ensures that you know exactly how much you’re paying and receiving before you confirm a trade. There’s no slippage or price surprises—just clear, upfront pricing every time.

STONfi DEX and Omniston: A Perfect Partnership

STONfi DEX has always been about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in decentralized trading. The introduction of Omniston takes this mission to the next level, addressing some of the biggest challenges in DeFi today.

Unified Liquidity for Seamless Trading

Liquidity fragmentation has long been a problem in the DeFi space. When liquidity is spread across multiple platforms, it can be hard to find the best prices. Omniston unifies liquidity within STONfi DEX, making it easier for traders to access competitive rates without hopping between platforms.

Efficiency at Its Core

Omniston combines the best of on-chain and off-chain trading processes. While trades are initiated off-chain for speed, they’re settled on-chain for security. It’s like blending the speed of a digital payment app with the security of a bank vault—fast, reliable, and safe.

A Gateway to the TON Ecosystem

For developers and projects, Omniston offers unparalleled access to the TON ecosystem. With millions of users and countless unique projects, STONfi DEX becomes a gateway to a thriving blockchain community, powered by Omniston’s innovative technology.

Why Liquidity Matters in Crypto

To understand the impact of Omniston, it helps to think about liquidity. Liquidity is the lifeblood of any trading system, much like cash flow is to a business. Without sufficient liquidity, transactions become slower, costlier, and less predictable.

Omniston changes the game by pooling liquidity into a single, unified system. This ensures that every trader—whether you’re swapping $10 or $10,000—gets the best price available. It’s like walking into a store where every product is always in stock and priced fairly.

The Bigger Picture: Omniston’s Role in DeFi

Omniston isn’t just a new feature—it’s a glimpse into the future of DeFi. By addressing key pain points like security, transparency, and liquidity fragmentation, it’s setting a new standard for decentralized exchanges.

For users, this means a better trading experience that’s both intuitive and secure. For developers and projects, it opens doors to new opportunities within a growing ecosystem. And for the broader DeFi community, it’s a step toward a more connected and efficient financial system.

Final Thoughts

Innovation is at the heart of DeFi, and Omniston is a perfect example of what’s possible when technology meets user needs. By integrating this protocol into STONfi DEX, we’re not just improving the trading experience—we’re building a foundation for the future of decentralized finance.

Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just starting your DeFi journey, Omniston offers a level of security, transparency, and efficiency that’s hard to beat. It’s time to rethink how we trade and embrace the possibilities that innovations like this bring to the table.

Let’s continue the conversation: What excites you most about Omniston and its role in the STONfi DEX ecosystem?

Step 3: Entering the Swap Amount

Input the amount of tokens you’re looking to swap. The platform will automatically calculate how much of the other token you’ll receive.

Think of this as asking the vendor, “If I give you five apples, how many oranges will I get in return?” The app does the math for you, ensuring you get a fair deal.

Step 4: Review and Confirm the Transaction

Before completing the swap, double-check all the details. Ensure you’ve selected the correct tokens, and verify the calculated amounts.

This is your moment to pause and ensure everything aligns with your expectations. Accuracy is key in crypto transactions, just like double-checking a receipt at a store.

Step 5: Approve the Swap in Your Wallet

Once you’re satisfied, press the Swap button. A confirmation prompt will appear in your connected wallet. Approve the transaction, and within seconds, your new tokens will appear in your wallet.

It’s as simple as handing over your apples and walking away with your oranges. No fuss, no confusion.

Gemini Code Assist Enterprise: AI App Development Tool

Introducing Gemini Code Assist Enterprise’s AI-powered app development tool that allows for code customisation.

The modern economy is driven by software development. Unfortunately, due to a lack of skilled developers, a growing number of integrations, vendors, and abstraction levels, developing effective apps across the tech stack is difficult.

To expedite application delivery and stay competitive, IT leaders must provide their teams with AI-powered solutions that assist developers in navigating complexity.

Google Cloud thinks that offering an AI-powered application development solution that works across the tech stack, along with enterprise-grade security guarantees, better contextual suggestions, and cloud integrations that let developers work more quickly and versatile with a wider range of services, is the best way to address development challenges.

Google Cloud is presenting Gemini Code Assist Enterprise, the next generation of application development capabilities.

Beyond AI-powered coding aid in the IDE, Gemini Code Assist Enterprise goes. This is application development support at the corporate level. Gemini’s huge token context window supports deep local codebase awareness. You can use a wide context window to consider the details of your local codebase and ongoing development session, allowing you to generate or transform code that is better appropriate for your application.

With code customization, Code Assist Enterprise not only comprehends your local codebase but also provides code recommendations based on internal libraries and best practices within your company. As a result, Code Assist can produce personalized code recommendations that are more precise and pertinent to your company. In addition to finishing difficult activities like updating the Java version across a whole repository, developers can remain in the flow state for longer and provide more insights directly to their IDEs. Because of this, developers can concentrate on coming up with original solutions to problems, which increases job satisfaction and gives them a competitive advantage. You can also come to market more quickly.

GitLab.com and GitHub.com repos can be indexed by Gemini Code Assist Enterprise code customisation; support for self-hosted, on-premise repos and other source control systems will be added in early 2025.

Yet IDEs are not the only tool used to construct apps. It integrates coding support into all of Google Cloud’s services to help specialist coders become more adaptable builders. The time required to transition to new technologies is significantly decreased by a code assistant, which also integrates the subtleties of an organization’s coding standards into its recommendations. Therefore, the faster your builders can create and deliver applications, the more services it impacts. To meet developers where they are, Code Assist Enterprise provides coding assistance in Firebase, Databases, BigQuery, Colab Enterprise, Apigee, and Application Integration. Furthermore, each Gemini Code Assist Enterprise user can access these products’ features; they are not separate purchases.
