If we are using that cartel tactic why not go full Norco and make smuggler submarines as well for the stuff that can't be as easily hidden as regular South American weapons smuggling?
When my biggest argument is with the title (there's no solar things so sundress feels a touch off, the geothermal is plenty hot and steamy though), I have no significant opposition to the cyber plan.

My first omake here and the first bits of work in story on the secure protocol.
Goal is that at the end of the first arc of this series(There will be four) the NSA will be bashing their heads against the wall trying to break the security of the protocol.

> We have been assembled here to work on a long term secure network protocol for long term use in our networks. This protocol must be secure against highly capable attackers and flexible enough for multiple use cases now and in the future.
> PROJECT LEAD
>
> That's a tall task for us. We can do secure in the near term but we don't have that much experience in designing protocols against a highly capable attacker. The flexibility requirement will be a pain to. Do we have an idea of what's needed in that regard?
PS: Do we need to handle network instability or can we assume that is dealt with already
> LEAD DESIGNER 1
>
> Well, at minium we have to be able to support our current use cases. We have the need handle fixed deployments where we can preload data for bootstrapping the connection. We do have scenarios where we need to establish a secure connection between two nodes without them being preloaded before hand with data for that connection. Right now we are using a somewhat convuluted method in where the two hosts communicate with trusted servers to establish their connection.
> PROTOCOL DESIGNER 1
>
> You can assume that the underlying layer to the protocol will handle network stability and delivery assurance.
> PROJECT LEAD
>
> The first use case is fairly easy. We just preload enough key material to both encrypt and add an authentication code to each packet onto both nodes. The cryptography for that is fairly simple and the security would only rely on the cryptographic algorithms we use. The second is a pain however. While our current method allow us to create secure connections between two nodes that were not aware of each other before hand, it requires a complex architecture that has to be available at the time of the handshake and takes a while to complete. Good luck if the infrastructure breaks doing that process.
> CRYPTOGRAPHY DESIGNER 1
>
> You don't have to tell me how painful that is. I had to deal with that situation when troubleshooting some problems with a site's secure computer's connection problems. It's a pain to get all the servers needed working. I've heard some stuff about key exchange algorithms. Couldn't those be used to establish the needed secret key material that would then be used to secure connections in the second scenario?
> PROTOCOL DESIGNER 2
>
> If we assume the attacker won't tamper with the connection at the time of the handshake yes. Key exchange algorithms do protect the generated key material from passive eavesdroppers but the moment the attacker can inject themselves into the entire connection the security breaks. If the attacker can intercept and pose as the other node for both nodes, they can perform the key exchange themselves and gain access to all the secret key material used. The problem there is that we failed to successful authenticate the node we are communicating to.
> CRYPTOGRAPHY DESIGNER 1
>
> Aw shucks. There goes that idea. Are we stuck with having to handle complex infrastructure just to achieve that? It's a pain still and having to manage an ever increasing amount of continuously online trusted servers is a pain in the ass. There should be a way to authenticate the nodes.
> PROTOCOL DESIGNER 2
>
> To my knowledge so far, no. All methods to authenticate entities that I know of require us to use symmetric cryptography which requires a preshared secret. We can do a lot to minimize the size of the preshared secret but it's still needs to be present one way or another.
> CRYPTOGRAPHY DESIGNER 1
>
> You are a bit behind the times though. We do have the RSA cryptosystem which allows us to create signatures using a private key that can be authenticated with knowledge of the public key. The system essentially works like this:
Gen(r)-> K_pub, K_priv
Sign(m, K_priv)->Sig
Verify(m, Sig, K_public)-> True/False
Most notably, the public key can remain public for all to see. So long as the associated private key to the public key remains secure, the signatures can be trusted to come from the holder of the private key. If you trust the public key(and by proxy the signer), you can trust the signatures. Most notably, no one else can forge the signatures and verification does not required a preshared secret.
> CRYPTOGRAPHY DESIGNER 2
>
> Great, so we can make use of that then? I'm thinking a general handshake like:
Node 1:
Connect request
Key exchange
Signature
Node 2:
Key exchange
Signature
Node 1:
Check connection(use a MAC with the generated key)
Node 2:
Check connection(use a MAC with the generated key)
Does this look okay as a starting point?
> PROTOCOL DESIGNER 2
>
> Looks good to me so far. We will need to work on the actual specifications more before we can say it's secure though. And we need to work on getting the needed public keys and handling public/private key pairs. I think I can reuse some of my previous work on this from another project though.
> CRYPTOGRAPHY DESIGNER 2
>
> I've asked the higher ups about this and they require us to also support cryptographic algorithm negotiation. They need it due to concerns on the computational burden of some of the cryptosystems that you all have proposed for the protocol and some of them want to be able to use preshared keys anyways.
> PROJECT LEAD
>
> That shouldn't be too hard right? Worst case scenario we need two more packets before the original handshake design. One for the intiating node's proposed cryptosuite, the other for the responding node's selection. We then just use the selected cryptosuite in the handshake. We can also help support the preshared key mode by creating dummy versions of the signature and key exchange portions of the handshake packet, making it easy to integrate into the overall protocol.
> PROTOCOL DESIGNER 2
>
> Already working on integrating that into the preliminary spec for the protocol. BTW, what are we calling it?
> PROTOCOL DESIGNER 1
>
> Secure connection layer? That's basically what we are making here. We don't need to worry about network problems and only handle the security of the connection.
Also can you guys take a look at the current spec? File name is PRELIM_DRAFT_SCL_SPEC_01. If this looks good so far I'll send them over to the validation team to take a look.

> Good. Time for us to go through this and look for problems. There has to be some somewhere.
> VALIDATION 1 NARRATOR: There were problems
It turns out there are problems. Comment if you can figure it out. My hint will be to look at real life problems with protocols like TLS 1 and SSLv2/SSLv3. Ignore the ones about cryptographic algorithms though, that'll come up later.
Protocol wise, if the computer using the protocol is compromised, there is no defense the protocol itself can provide(worst case for the attacker they dump all the secret keying material or the protected information). Therefore that is out of scope.

So many way to love: an animated series presenting through various love/relationship stories a maximum of the genders,sexual and Romantic orientation that exist.
The objectives of the series are:
1 be an entertaining, wholesome series with (for once) healthy and functional relationships.
2:To educated people about the different sexuality/gender/etc possible (it would do a world of good at many places)
3: allow people with a non-standard gender/sexuality living in countries less tolerant/educated than Guangchou to be able to put a name to what they feel/are and to know that no, they are not weird monsters for that.
I leave to the qm the choice of what should be the age of the target audience and the level of eroticism associated
Tales of humanity: a series presenting over the course of these episodes tales, history, fairy tales, legends and myths from all over the world and from all eras (although the first episodes focus on tales from guangchou dear to the animators ), unlike Disney and other modern producers here it was chosen not to sugarcoat the stories but to reproduce them much more faithfully (although a panel at the beginning of the episode putting the story in its context then it was added in cases where the story would have aged badly from a moral point of view, would be racist, etc.) in all their tragedies, joy, horror, exaltation, anger, strangeness, because sometimes things go wrong, sometimes the story doesn't end well, sometimes there is no good or justice and that's a good lesson to teach.
the idea is like for the greeting dish cooking show to allow people around the world to come together through something universal.

Refugee Integration, you are lacking proper public transport infrastructure that is keeping up with your population boom, there is still a glaring lack of trained or specialized people in nearly all industries, the military wants a new batch of Iron-Tiger Lines to enter production (focused on rear-line duties such as engineering and logistics), and there are worries that your food industry won't be able to keep up with the population growth and push you down from 2 guaranteed meals a day per person to 1.

Interesting. Informative. Very helpful.
Okay. Kind and gentle peoples. I'm gonna go ahead and say it.
Let's aim for three meals per day. Nutritionally complete too.
We're at risk of slipping. But IMO, it's not enough just to stay where we are. Let's actively try to improve on that.
And beyond that historically? Pretty much everything flows from having enough food. We need trained technical staff and specialists? First off, especially younger children still developing, but older children and adults too. Everyone needs calories and food for healthy brains and to maintain focus in school.
We need public transport infra? Then workers need food. We've got refugees? They need to be fed.
There's the wars too, and being able to supply rations to our allies along with disaster relief could also go a long way.
Population growth means we need more food anyway, but how about aiming to make things *better*.
Would anyone be willing to support a "Feed people." Plan?

I love this action. Making what we can bio-degradable. While making it so anything that's not can be returned and recycled and and/or sanitised and re-used.
But, and this is just a suggestion. Would we be able to go a step further? So, rather than fish being packaged in bio-degradable or recyclyable materials, it's packaged in seaweed for example. Which can be cooked and eaten along with the fish?

I think the are actually some actions that need to be removed? I think we already took Six Sigma for instance - I remember doing it at the same time as pharmaceuticals to ensure good quality control.
The Reverse Engineer Western Durable Goods option has kind of been made obsolete by the Consumer Goods Bureau - they automatically look at what the west in doing for each new consumer goods factory we build and incorporate the good bits into our designs.
Because it happens one bit ot a time it falls below the level of abstraction.
What are the big outstanding issue with refugee integration? Housing or something else?
Transit isn't a problem, Dragon Rail will deal with that.
Food wise are we more limited by production or distribution? I notice the food factory is Helpful, but that doesn't generate more calories so much as repackage existing ones so I'm wondering.
But the long and short of it is that we don't have the free actions for any food production this turn.
Between rail and consumer goods, I've had to squeeze the other urgent things down to the minimum.
Next turn there's 4 to 8 actions we can possibly play with - depending on how many actions we lock for Dragon Rail and how many we want to put towards education/immigration.
You managed to get most of the initial refugees from some years back settled and educated, but Chinese Refugees are beginning to arrive in Guangchou and they need all that done too. Unless you huck some love toward a department that manages that (3 Actions, -8 Rep/-2 PO) you'll need to keep an eye on that.
Bus gang rise up. We shall not be constrained by train tracks lain by economic feasability!
And food wise it's both. You need more, and better ways to get the end products to the people. Remember: you are the #1 source of food for all people in Guangchou, that shit is mostly state organized and controlled.
Next turn is 1984 right ?,if yes the the Winter Olympic Games took place in Yugoslavia from February 8, 1984 to February 19, 1984 and those of the Summer Olympics in the USA from July 28, 1984 to August 12, 1984, do you know what that means? a golden and free opportunity to mess with the USA on their own territory, oh and another roll for medals.
Qm:
1:is the "Reverse Engineer Western Durable Goods" totaly useless now or no ?
2:does Guangchou have a national sport ?,if no can i offer this idea?
Aquatic quadriathlon, first the different teams of two person dive into the sea from a cliff then swim a defined distance from the cliff to a boat (Tepukei or another similar type of small ancient ship) all located at equal distance from the cliff then they must sail to a predetermined point and dive deep and quickly without equipment to recover a stone "pearl" placed there, brought it back to the boat, sailed to the island and once the shore reached run with it to a symbolic place /traditional (top of a mountain/volcano, the town square or at the bottom of a cave) and placed the "pearl" there
we have participed to olympic game for a while,it was talked and yeastmobile (post 6670) rolled how many medal we have 61 bronze medals,26 silvers medals and 6 gold ones,total
