[3/4] Beyond the financial damage, the epidemic of scam calls also undermines Estonians’ trust in e-services and the e-state, and more broadly in our state as such. I hope I am wrong, but I do not dare to rule out the possibility that this is part of a broader PSYOP directed against us.
[2/4] Educating end users is not enough. Changes must be made at points where they affect tens and hundreds of thousands of people. And if making those changes is hindered by certain business or legal constraints, those constraints must be weighed against the damage prevented.
[1/4] In the first 11 months of 2025, nearly 27 MEUR has been lost to scammers in Estonia. This is something bigger than just a bunch of isolated incidents, and it has to be addressed -- by telcos, banks, and the state.

In MilTech, the path to an MVP, or rather a MFP (minimum *fieldable* product) has to be much shorter than what's been acceptable for "regular" startups.

none of these U.S. presidents proposed to recognize the annexation of the Baltic states by soviet russia.
forget the tariffs, its show(er)time!
I have repeatedly said that analysing the long-term impact of the tariffs introduced by Trump administration is a waste of time, as they'll find another greatest-of-all idea within a matter of weeks.

that's русский мир for you, my friends.
www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... is another proof that security is a process, not a product -- even the most secure channel cannot protect sensitive information from accidentally or "accidentally" invited strangers.
at the same time, this is the best possible ad for signal.org.
Donald Tusk: Russia will be helpless against united Europe. Right now, 500 million Europeans are begging 300 million Americans for protection from 140 million Russians who have been unable to overcome 50 million Ukrainians for three years.
