With just days until the outcome of the U.S. presidential race, Bitcoin enthusiasts across the world are wondering how a win for either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will impact the cryptocurrency market's long-term fortunes. With Bitcoin surging to a new all-time high against several global currencies in the past few days - and with its U.S dollar valuation only missing an ATH by a mere $175 - the general outlook would appear to be positive. Some have speculated that the future of Bitcoin is assured regardless of which candidate assumes the presidency, and that neither Trump nor Harris will stem the rise of a digital currency that has seen its value increase by 142,538,880.54% in the past 14 years, as per data from CoinMarketCap. Let’s take a look at how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been addressing the topic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the lead-up to the election, and examine what a win for either candidate could mean for the future of the crypto market in general. Trump and Harris Come Round to Bitcoin? In recent years both Trump and Harris have expressed caution around the topic of cryptocurrencies. Trump initially claimed Bitcoin could eat into the U.S dollar’s dominance around the globe and drew attention to its use in illicit and illegal activities. Harris, meanwhile, appeared hesitant to grapple with the issue of digital currencies and remained fairly tight-lipped on the subject until recently. In the run-up to the election, however, both candidates have changed their views on the topic, with Trump in particular appearing to become an eager adoptee of the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Donald Trump’s campaign has been fuelled in part by digital currencies after he began accepting donations in the form of Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, and Solana, and other cryptocurrencies. Indeed, Donald Trump’s perception as the most pro-crypto candidate of the two has been helped by comments made in the past week in which Trump floated the possibility of removing the imposition of capital gains tax on Bitcoin usage. Trump told podcaster Joe Rogan: “They have them paying tax on crypto and I don't think that's right. Bitcoin is money and you have to pay capital gains tax if you use it to buy a coffee? I was talking with a friend and he said 'it really shouldn't be taxed' and I agree. Maybe we get rid of taxes on crypto and replace it with tariffs,” said Trump. Trump declared that only cryptocurrencies made in the USA should be subject to the removal of tax and that coins created in other countries - particularly China - should still have tariffs imposed. Kamala Harris has not expressed such clear support for the cryptocurrency market, however she has begun to reach out to major cryptocurrency firms like Coinbase and Ripple, and has called for greater regulatory oversight of the crypto market. While Harris’ comments have been regarded as less positive than Trump’s, they do suggest she may be willing to work alongside the industry to clear up regulatory uncertainties and ensure a safer environment for investors - a stance that still appears somewhat pro-crypto. How a Trump Win Could Affect Bitcoin The general perception is that a win for Trump is a win for Bitcoin. Indeed, some observers claim that Bitcoin’s resurgence over the course of the past few months is an indicator that Trump has already won.MannaBitcoin and HandsFreeBTC founder, Adam Simecka, on X. https://x.com/AdamSimecka/status/1851090258768572873?embedable=true The value of BTC increased by 21% in the past 30 days, and 37% in the past three months, and some expect it to record a new all-time high against the U.S dollar regardless of the outcome of the U.S election. That said, a Trump win would send strong signals to cryptocurrency investors worldwide and would spur both institutional and retail adoption, facilitating growth for Bitcoin and DeFi initiatives through a relaxation of both taxation and regulation. Private wealth management firm, Bernstein, told CNBC that a win for Trump could see the value of Bitcoin top $80,000. Youwei Yang, chief economist at Bit Mining, was even more optimistic, and recently forecasted a potential Bitcoin price of $135,000 if Trump assumes the presidency. According to Yang, a Harris win would still see Bitcoin reach a price of $120,000. Trump has also vowed to make the U.S the world leader in Bitcoin mining and has even floated the idea of the U.S government holding Bitcoin as a reserve currency. How a Harris Win Could Affect Bitcoin Kamala Harris’ recent focus on regulatory oversight suggests that despite her apparent caution, she recognises that crypto is here to stay. Harris told a gathering of fundraisers in September: “We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting our consumers and investors,” said Harris, as reported by Bloomberg. While Harris hasn’t voiced any decidedly anti-crypto opinions, the general perception is that a Harris win would mean slower growth for Bitcoin in the short-term as the focus shifts towards stronger regulation. The market’s reaction to a Harris win could be highly reflexive, and could result in a sharp dip in the value of Bitcoin in the short-term. Such a sharp dip could send reverberations throughout the market, potentially creating a large-scale selloff where traders collectively seek to drop a rapidly declining asset, before buying in again when they perceive the dip to be over. Bitcoin’s Future With the election result just days away and Bitcoin’s immediate future potentially in the balance, Donald Trump made reference to Bitcoin’s past. On Oct. 31, Trump wrote on X: https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1852033244729860397?embedable=true “I would like to wish our great Bitcoiners a Happy 16th Anniversary of Satoshi’s White Paper. We will end Kamala’s war on crypto, & Bitcoin will be MADE IN THE USA! VOTE TRUMP!” wrote Trump, referencing the 16th anniversary of the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper. Rarely in history have the fortunes of an entire asset-class been so dependent on the outcome of a presidential race, and the furore surrounding Bitcoin in the run-up to the election is testament to how deeply ingrained the idea of autonomous digital currency is in the minds of voters. Bitcoiners across the globe will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of the election in the next week. While neither outcome may necessarily spell doom for Bitcoin’s long-term future, the impact of either candidate assuming the presidency is certain to produce fireworks for the cryptocurrency market in the short-term.

Harris đấu với Trump: Dự đoán số phận của thị trường Bitcoin sau bầu cử

Next week, the US will hold a presidential election. At that time, we will vote not for a presidential candidate but for an impression of the candidate we see on TV and at campaign events, read about in newspapers and blogs, and hear about from our friends and family. Like Plato’s shadows on the cave wall, our impressions will reflect only whatever somebody chooses to show us. Modern politics overwhelms us with images crafted and cultivated to fit what we want to see rather than the truth. We latch onto the fragment of reality that we perceive. We never see the full picture. Outside of a few insiders, nobody has enough information to make an informed decision about anybody they vote for. I certainly don’t. Who’s good? Who’s bad? You may think the answers are obvious. Often, it’s not so easy to tell. The devil you don’t know or the other devil you don’t know For example, Congressman Tom Emmer, one of crypto’s most powerful advocates in Congress. He’s the guy who yelled at SEC Chairman Gary Gensler for missing the FTX fraud, among other grievances. Did you know FTX was one of the biggest donors to Tom Emmer’s campaign and gave almost $3 million to the GOP’s Congressional Leadership Fund while Emmer was in charge of it? Did you also know that Emmer was one of several Congresspeople who wrote a letter to Gensler asking him to stop investigating FTX (among other crypto entities)? If you support crypto and politicians, have you ever asked Emmer how he feels about protecting a scam? Taking money from a fraudster? Did he give the money back? Or, do you not care because Emmer says nice things about crypto and criticizes people you dislike? Because he shares your views? If you don’t support crypto and politicians, do you support Gensler’s nonsensical application of obsolete financial rules to stifle a new technology with arbitrary lawsuits and bizarre standards? Or, do you not care about people trying to build or use crypto, so you ignore it? Presidents don’t matter for your financial markets Why does market performance always seem disconnected from politics? The crypto market crashed more than 50% several times under Biden. It crashed more than 70% several times under Trump. Obama was even worse — multiple crashes of 80% or more. On the flip side, it went up 100% after Biden took office, 2,500% after Trump took office, and 5,500% after Obama took office. Seems fishy until you compare that with legacy assets. People make a big deal about the economy under one party or the other, but the economy — like crypto — seems to do whatever it wants regardless of who’s in office. Look at the stock market performance under Republicans and Democrats, adjusted for GDP. Red is Republican, blue is Democrat. Can you see any trend? Neither can I. You can extend this to the wider economy. Let’s do GDP. I counted the number of negative half-years in white: What about inflation? Same. What about employment? Same. What about budget deficits? For statistical consistency, we’ll calculate it as a percentage of GDP. Same. What about oil prices? Same. From a purely investing perspective, you get no advantage or disadvantage under Democrats and Republicans. On the whole, the US economy and its major assets perform as well or as poorly under one as the other. You can take these charts and move the boxes one or two years forward to account for the lag between a change of party and the results of their actions. You’ll get the same result. Know what matters Am I saying presidential elections don’t matter? No. They matter a lot. Every election carries high stakes for your business, employment opportunities, living standards, moral or religious beliefs, mental health, and many aspects of your life. But presidents can’t save your marriage, get you to lose that extra 10 pounds, or fix your financial problems. For people who work in crypto, you won’t find a better friend than Trump. That’s important for people trying to run businesses, build crypto apps, and create new tokens. What about the rest of us? Doesn’t matter. Sure, government policies can tinker around the edges, but crypto is a global asset. Prices come from buyers, sellers, and circumstances beyond any president’s control. The past two years saw a wave of innovation from non-US talent and US companies working abroad. Thousands of new projects have been launched. Hundreds more are waiting for market conditions to improve. Oddly enough, crypto is bigger under Biden now than Trump and Obama. Bitcoin’s hit three new all-time highs! For all those reasons, vote your conscience, not your crypto portfolio. If neither presidential candidate resonates with you, write somebody in. You can scribble “Bitcoin” on your ballot. Most likely, you live in a state where your presidential vote doesn't matter — any of the 43 states painted red or blue in the image below. Partisanship has already made your decision irrelevant. Why not vote for somebody or something you want? You have nothing to lose. I dive more deeply into this topic in a recent post, The US Presidential Election Matters for You, Not Your Crypto Portfolio. https://cryptoiseasy.beehiiv.com/p/the-us-presidential-election-matters-for-you-not-your-crypto-portfolio?embedable=true Mark Helfman publishes the Crypto is Easy newsletter.

Trump or Harris? Won’t Matter for Your Crypto Portfolio

Markets have already started to prepare for U.S. elections. The outcome of these elections may (or may not) have a material impact on financial market dynamics, including crypto. Does it really matter who wins, or would crypto be affected by stronger catalysts? Let’s take a closer look. For obvious reasons, the data for crypto is not sufficient to evaluate how a Republican or a Democrat President impacts the market. Fortunately, such data is available for traditional financial markets. For example, we can take a look at how markets performed starting with the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower (1953 - 1961). The data shows that it is not possible to tell whether a Republican or a Democratic presidency is better for financial markets. It should be noted that there is no sense in studying earlier market periods. The world we live in was shaped as a result of World War II, so the behavior of markets before this key event is hardly relevant for analysis. Taking a look at a shorter time frame, Saxo analysts concluded that a Democratic presidency was better for markets. However, they evaluated market history starting with the presidency of Bill Clinton (1993 - 2001), which increased the likelihood of random coincidence. The general impact of a Democratic or Republican presidency is not the only catalyst that will matter for crypto markets. Regulation issues are extremely important. Traditionally, it is believed that a Trump administration would be more crypto-friendly compared to a Harris administration. Such a conclusion is based on two key factors. First, Trump managed to portray himself as a crypto-friendly candidate during his presidential campaign. For example, Trump noted that he wanted the U.S. to be the leader in Bitcoin mining. Second, the incoming president will likely change the head of the SEC. Under Gensler, the SEC took a hawkish stance on crypto. The regulator started numerous lawsuits, including several high-profile ones. In addition, the SEC views almost all crypto except Bitcoin as securities and insists that it should be regulated according to securities laws. Analysts seem to be concluding that Gensler is the worst possible head of the SEC. According to this view, whoever comes to the SEC after a potential Trump victory would be better than Gensler. This optimism may be founded on candidates’ campaign promises. However, history tells us that putting too much faith into promises made during an election campaign is a mistake in any country in the world. Judging by the market perception of Trump, his victory could indeed provide support to crypto markets in the short term. In the long term, the beginning of the rate-cut cycle in major economies will likely serve as the main positive catalyst for crypto. Liquidity will be flowing to markets, providing long-term support to crypto projects. Hopes for a sharp turn in regulatory attitude towards crypto may prove to be unfounded. Anyone who comes to the White House will focus on maintaining the global dominance of the U.S. dollar, while the U.S. role in financial innovation (such as crypto) will take a back seat.

Trump or Harris: Does It Matter for Bitcoin?

So, I've started playing around with FiveThirtyEight's publicly available polling data. Why? Because I'm kind of just interested in the polling around the 2024 U.S. presidential election and the statistical side of things and was wondering how I would construct my own little prediction from scratch. So, here's what I did for a first try. (Disclaimer: I'm not a professional data scientist. Playing around with the data and exploring some things is really my main focus.) First and foremost, I want to keep it simple for now. As Kahneman explains in his book, Noise: Simple models often get the job done pretty well. ① Therefore, I only consider high-quality pollsters but without weighing their polls differently. I only include data points with a numeric_grade ≥2.5 (best: 3) in 538's dataset. ② What I do weigh is closeness to election day. The closer to November 5, the more relevant the poll. I consider polls from up to 90 days (~3 months) before, weighted linearly. A poll ending on August 7 has a weight of 1/90, and a poll ending on November 4 is one of 90/90. ③ Lastly, I'm not looking at national polls. What I focus on are the 7 swing states that are going to decide the election. With all this, we arrive at the following picture as of September 24. Harris in front in MI, NV, NC, PA, WI; Trump in AZ & GA. Based on these probabilities, we can also calculate the expected electoral votes (EVs) for each swing state, and the race overall: ④ This, however, doesn't take into account polling error, which was significant in both 2016 & 2020. So, I also did ①–③ for those two. I'm not considering elections before that because ever since Trump entered the stage, election dynamics have significantly changed. Old rules don't apply anymore. 2024 will be much more similar to 2020 & 2016 than to any election before that. The polling error for my methodology looks like this: Following the “keep it simple” rule, let's assume the polling error in 2024 will be the average of 2016/20 and apply it to the margins from above, also adding the polling error uncertainty to the uncertainty from the polls: And, again, these are the expected EVs based on the probabilities: Now, one could argue that pollsters might have learned their lesson and polling will get more accurate again this year. This, however, was already an argument in 2020. Plus, at least part of the problem seems to be that certain Trump supporters simply don't want to participate in polls anymore due to trust issues (see, e.g., https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/04/why-election-polls-were-wrong-in-2016-and-2020-and-whats-changing.html). Obviously, pollsters are trying to learn and adjust, but whether they'll be less off this year than in the two elections before, we'll only see on November 5. For now, I also don't take polling errors from the 2022 elections into account. I have to read more on this first, and I assume that a presidential election is most similar to other presidential elections. So, for this first try, my own little forecast includes one prediction purely based on weighted polls from high-quality pollsters, and one prediction assuming the 2024 polling error will be the average of 2016 & 2020. Please feel free to head over to my Github—where I'll collect and archive everything—and have a look at the complete data and calculations in the latest Excel file: https://github.com/maxspeicher/2024-us-presidential-election/ So, I've started playing around with FiveThirtyEight's publicly available polling data . Why? Because I'm kind of just interested in the polling around the 2024 U.S. presidential election and the statistical side of things and was wondering how I would construct my own little prediction from scratch. So, here's what I did for a first try. FiveThirtyEight's publicly available polling data FiveThirtyEight's publicly available polling data (Disclaimer: I'm not a professional data scientist. Playing around with the data and exploring some things is really my main focus.) First and foremost, I want to keep it simple for now. As Kahneman explains in his book, Noise : Simple models often get the job done pretty well. Noise Noise ① Therefore, I only consider high-quality pollsters but without weighing their polls differently. I only include data points with a numeric_grade ≥2.5 (best: 3) in 538's dataset. ① numeric_grade ② What I do weigh is closeness to election day. The closer to November 5, the more relevant the poll. I consider polls from up to 90 days (~3 months) before, weighted linearly. A poll ending on August 7 has a weight of 1/90, and a poll ending on November 4 is one of 90/90. ② ③ Lastly, I'm not looking at national polls. What I focus on are the 7 swing states that are going to decide the election. ③ With all this, we arrive at the following picture as of September 24. Harris in front in MI, NV, NC, PA, WI; Trump in AZ & GA. Based on these probabilities, we can also calculate the expected electoral votes (EVs) for each swing state, and the race overall: ④ This, however, doesn't take into account polling error, which was significant in both 2016 & 2020.

The 2024 Presidential election of the United States is only a couple of months away. With Joe Biden out of the race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump from the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, remain the top contenders for the leadership of the most powerful country in the world.

The HackerNoon editorial team has only verified the story for grammatical accuracy and does not condone/condemn any of the claims contained herein. #DYOR Interestingly, for the first time, the blockchain industry is a key voting bloc that could play a very important role in the emergence of the 47th President of the United States. Usually, stakeholders in the blockchain industry, including Web3 users and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, maintain a reserved stand on politics. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterik even recently sounded a note of warning against voting for candidates simply on the basis of their allegiance to decentralized technologies. However, the stakes are higher for the upcoming elections. The right candidate could mean the difference between a relapse into the stifling, "regulation by enforcement" environment the industry currently battles under the Biden administration or a renewed approach that will drive innovation and sustain investor's interest. The voting significance of the blockchain/crypto community is also not lost to the Democratic and Republican parties, as contestants from either side have made moves to appeal to major industry stakeholders. All of these underline a crucial question: "Which candidate is better for the advancement of blockchain/Web3 interests in the United States?" To get a better context, let's look at the industry's current state. Pre-Elections 38% of workers in the United States admit to using blockchain technology in their businesses, while over 40% of American adults own cryptocurrency. With the approval of Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year, there has been increased nationwide interest in digital assets and cryptocurrency. However, blockchain in the United States continues to grapple with a tricky landscape. Unclear regulatory guidelines, a perceived "Operation choke point 2.0," and the determined attempts of the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) under Gary Gensler to clamp down on "unregistered securities"  have seen Coinbase, Ripple, and Terra Labs, among others, slammed with contentious lawsuits. The ideal presidential candidate, among other things, would address policy change, promote fair regulations, and encourage pro-blockchain development. The Trump Option Key industry players like Ryan Selkis, the CEO of Messari, the Winklevoss brothers of Gemini, Elon Musk, and many others consider former President Donald Trump as the ideal choice for blockchain innovation. And with good reason. Trump has been increasingly vocal in supporting digital assets and blockchain technology. A major highlight was the last Bitcoin conference in Nashville, where he made the headlines for his position in the industry and his newfound love for crypto. But this was not the case just a few years back.  During his tenure as the President of the United States in 2021, Trump came down heavily on crypto in a Twitter (now X) post where he clearly stated he was not a fan of digital assets.  His change of mind and explicit declaration of support for blockchain has been a rallying call that has reflected positively on public polls. Beyond verbal reassurance, the republican nominee's financial disclosure documents reveal he has over a million dollars investment in Ethereum and three separate NFT collections that have made over $7.5m in sales. His campaign team has also encouraged and received donations in crypto to the tune of 25 million US dollars at the end of July. At the Bitcoin conference, Trump also commented about firing Gery Gensler, prioritizing blockchain tech growth in the US, and shutting down CBDCs. These and many more of Trump's bold and vocal stance on the blockchain have endeared him to the crypto majority and positioned him as a much-needed ally to turn the tide politically. Kamala Harris However, Polymarket, the world's largest decentralized prediction market, shows a keenly contested battle ahead, with Kamala Harris trailing only a few points behind Trump. Harris clinched the presidential nomination of the democratic party after Joe Biden stepped down and is vying to become the first female President of the United States. Unlike Trump, Kamala Harris has refrained from any public commentary on how to approach the blockchain industry. Similarly, the recently released 92-page official platform of the democratic national committee (DNC) had no direct or implied mention of blockchain, crypto, or digital assets, sparking rumors that Kamala Haris may toe the Biden line. On the flip side, however, there are already positive signs that a democratic presidency may favor blockchain sentiment, especially with ongoing efforts from the DNC to reach out and interact with industry stakeholders.  Billionaires like Mike Cuban, with extensive investments in Web3 companies including Polygon, OpenSea, and Arbitrum, are also betting on the democratic candidate. In addition, the commitment of Tim Walz, Harris's running mate, to clean energy policies could significantly shape the future crypto-mining and pave the way for a more environmentally sustainable approach. The personal stance of Harris concerning the blockchain industry, however, remains unclear and may be the biggest drawback for moderate voters and the younger, more tech-savvy demography. Beyond Elections In the broader tech ecosystem, especially with the emergence of AI, the impact of which is currently sweeping access to all sectors, what will Trump or Harris's win mean for solutions incorporating blockchain technology? Since its explosive resurgence last year, artificial intelligence has highlighted the need for decentralized technologies to bridge the infrastructural and computing gap that traditional tech companies have not been able to fill. Decentralized marketplaces and DePIN have enjoyed growing popularity in the past year due to their affordability and competitive edge, especially in executing AI projects. However, a tight leash on AI development will spill over to blockchain, limiting the potential capabilities of Web3 and DePIN.  An elected Trump will be actively seeking a repeal of the 2023 Biden AI executive order in a bid to loosen the reins and give more room for development. While this is good news for innovation, critics are concerned about the potential deleterious effect of unchecked growth in the AI sector. The explosive pace of acceleration of generative AI technology, although capable of yielding short-term gains for Web3, may create new social problems.  Take, for example, the emergence of dangerously accurate deep fakes. On the other hand, democratic Harris will most likely seek to uphold the executive order, pushing for more guidelines to structure the sector with emphasis on consumer protection laws, an approach sources claim the majority of Republican and Democratic voters inherently support. Rounding Off The 5th of November is gearing up to be a pivotal moment for the future of Web3 in the United States. With blockchain as a major talking point, regulatory clarity and the perceived ability to implement favorable policies will play a crucial role in the outcome of the elections. Currently, only the Trump candidacy has articulated and maintained these ideals. Therefore, except for a last-minute solid pro-blockchain move by the democratic team, Donald Trump remains the prime choice for many industry stakeholders and enthusiasts. The 2024 Presidential election of the United States is only a couple of months away. With Joe Biden out of the race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump from the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, remain the top contenders for the leadership of the most powerful country in the world.

FACT SHEET: Biden-⁠Harris Administration Announces Initiative to Bolster Cybersecurity of U.S. Ports Today, the Biden-Harris Administration will issue an Executive Order to bolster the security of the nation’s ports, alongside a series of additional actions that will strengthen maritime cybersecurity, fortify our supply chains and strengthen the United States industrial base. The Administration will also announce its intent to bring domestic onshore manufacturing capacity back to America to provide safe, secure cranes to U.S. ports – thanks to an over $20 billion investment in U.S. port infrastructure under President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda. Today’s actions are clear examples of the President’s work to invest in America, , and against 21st century threats – priorities his Administration has focused on relentlessly since taking office. secure the country’s supply chains strengthen the cybersecurity of our nation’s critical infrastructure America’s prosperity is directly linked to maritime trade and the integrated network of ports, terminals, vessels, waterways, and land-side connections that constitute the Nation’s Marine Transportation System (MTS). This complex system supports $5.4 trillion worth of economic activity each year, contributes to the employment of more than 31 million Americans, and supports nearly 95% of cargo entering the U.S. The security of our critical infrastructure remains a national imperative in an increasingly complex threat environment. MTS owners and operators rely on digital systems to enable their operations, to include ship navigation, the movement of cargo, engineering, safety, and security monitoring. These systems have revolutionized the maritime shipping industry and American supply chains by enhancing the speed and efficiency of moving goods to market, but the increasing digital interconnectedness of our economy and supply chains have also introduced vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could have cascading impacts on America’s ports, the economy, and everyday hard-working Americans. Today’s actions include: Now, the U.S. Coast Guard will have the express authority to respond to malicious cyber activity in the nation’s MTS by requiring vessels and waterfront facilities to mitigate cyber conditions that may endanger the safety of a vessel, facility, or harbor. The Executive Order will also institute mandatory reporting of cyber incidents – or active cyber threats – endangering any vessel, harbor, port, or waterfront facility. Additionally, the Coast Guard will now have the authority to control the movement of vessels that present a known or suspected cyber threat to U.S. maritime infrastructure, and be able to inspect those vessels and facilities that pose a threat to our cybersecurity. President Biden will sign an Executive Order to bolster the Department of Homeland Security’s authority to directly address maritime cyber threats, including through cybersecurity standards to ensure that American ports’ networks and systems are secure. Owners and operators of these cranes must acknowledge the directive and take a series of actions on these cranes and associated Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems. This action is a vital step to securing our maritime infrastructure’s digital ecosystem and addresses several vulnerabilities that have been identified in the updated U.S. Maritime Advisory, 2024-00X – Worldwide Foreign Adversarial Technological, Physical, and Cyber Influence, that was released today. The U.S. Coast Guard will issue a Maritime Security Directive on cyber risk management actions for ship-to-shore cranes manufactured by the People’s Republic of China located at U.S. Commercial Strategic Seaports. Every day malicious cyber actors attempt to gain unauthorized access to MTS control systems and networks throughout the nation. The Proposed Rule will strengthen these digital systems by establishing minimum cybersecurity requirements that meet international and industry-recognized standards to best manage cyber threats. These actions build on prior actions by DHS including those taken by the Transportation Security Administration, and reflect the Administration’s commitment to leverage regulatory requirements in pursuit of safeguarding critical infrastructure. The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemakingon Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System. The Administration will invest over $20 billion, including through grants, into U.S. port infrastructure over the next 5 years through the President’s Investing in America Agenda, including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. As a result, a U.S.-based subsidiary of Mitsui E&S Co., Ltd (Japan), is planning to onshore U.S. manufacturing capacity for its crane production. PACECO has a deep history in the container shipping industry, manufacturing the first dedicated ship-to-shore container crane in 1958 as PACECO Inc., and it continued U.S.-based crane manufacturing until the late 1980s. PACECO intends to partner with other trusted manufacturing companies to bring port crane manufacturing capabilities back to the U.S. for the first time in 30 years, pending final site and partner selection.  The announcement is part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s fourth Investing in America tour, where White House and Administration officials are traveling across the country to highlight the impacts of the President’s Investing in America agenda on communities, families, small businesses and the United States’ economic and national security. It also follows-up on the White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience’s efforts to strengthen America’s supply chains, particularly by addressing supply chain risks resulting from threats and vulnerabilities inside U.S. ports. The Administration continues to deliver for the American people by rebuilding the U.S.’s industrial capacity to produce port cranes with trusted partners.

FACT SHEET: Biden-⁠Harris Administration High-Speed Internet Investments Spur Made-in-America Manufacturing Boom Today in Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Nokia and Sanmina Corporation in Pleasant Prairie, Kenosha County, Wisconsin to highlight the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to invest in high-speed internet, boost domestic manufacturing, and create good jobs. Vice President Harris’ visit coincides with Nokia announcing the manufacturing of broadband network electronics products for the BEAD program in the U.S. that will add up to 200 new jobs at Sanmina Corporation’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Pleasant Prairie, Kenosha County, Wisconsin. This event makes Nokia the first telecom company to announce the manufacturing of broadband electronics products in the United States, which will be ready in 2024. The Vice President will be joined by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Senator Tammy Baldwin. The announcement is the latest in a string of domestic manufacturing announcements that have been spurred by the Biden-Harris Administration’s high-speed internet investments and Made-in-America policies, part of the President’s Investing in America agenda and a clear sign that Bidenomics is working. Across the high-speed internet industry, most electronics products are not currently manufactured in the U.S., but Buy America provisions in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are driving the onshoring of new manufacturing, particularly ahead of implementation of the $42.45 billion Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program. Just as Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Rural Electrification Act brought electricity to nearly every home and farm in America, President Biden and Vice President Harris are delivering on their historic commitment to connect everyone in America to affordable, reliable high-speed internet by the end of the decade. The Biden-Harris Administration’s historic Internet For All initiative is investing $90 billion to bring affordable, reliable high-speed internet service to every community in America is creating good-paying manufacturing jobs and revitalizing the domestic broadband manufacturing industry. Other recent private sector domestic manufacturing announcements include: Corning, a producer of optical fiber and cable, celebrated the expansion of its U.S. manufacturing capacity with the opening of a new manufacturing campus near Hickory, North Carolina.  The more than $500 million investment to build fiber in the U.S. adds hundreds of manufacturing jobs to Corning’s more than 5,000 employees in the state. CommScope**,** a provider of broadband network equipment, recently announced a $60 million investment towards expanding its U.S. fiber optic cable manufacturing at its facility in Catawba, North Carolina. This investment will create more than 250 new jobs over the next five years, and create a fiber optic cable, “HeliARC” which is specifically designed for rural fiber network architecture. Prysmian, a manufacturer of optical fiber and fiber optic cable, announced a $30 million investment to convert its Jackson, Tennessee, copper cable facility into a state-of-the-art fiber optic cable manufacturing plant. As part of this plant retrofitting, Prysmian transitioned their workforce, retraining and retaining nearly 90% of employees. Prysmian has made a significant effort to hire and train female manufacturing workers, who make up 42% of plant employees compared to an industry average of about 25%. Buy Americarequirements are key to ensuring we maximize the economic potential of the Internet for All initiative. Manufacturing the iron, steel, fiber, and construction materials needed to deliver affordable, reliable high-speed internet service to millions of Americans is an opportunity to create jobs right here at home. Funds for the BEAD program will be used to purchase items manufactured in the U.S., such as iron, steel, and fiber. Additional specific rules for spending BEAD program funds are forthcoming. As President Biden said in his State of the Union address, “We’re making sure that every community — every community in America has access to affordable, high-speed Internet… I’m also announcing new standards to require all construction materials used in federal infrastructure projects to be made in America. Made in America. I mean it. Lumber, glass, drywall, fiber-optic cable.” Today’s announcement is part of President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda, which includes the historic investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the American Rescue Plan. Together, these investments are unleashing a manufacturing boom, helping rebuild our infrastructure and bring back supply chains, lowering costs for hardworking families, and creating jobs that don’t require a four-year degree across the country. The private sector has already invested more than $500 billion in new manufacturing here in America, including for semiconductors, electric batteries, EV charging, rail manufacturing, water parts, and more.

Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . Mr. Harrison at Home Chapter III - Mr. Harrison at Home Mr. Harrison’s house was an old-fashioned, low-eaved, whitewashed structure, set against a thick spruce grove. Mr. Harrison himself was sitting on his vineshaded veranda, in his shirt sleeves, enjoying his evening pipe. When he realized who was coming up the path he sprang suddenly to his feet, bolted into the house, and shut the door. This was merely the uncomfortable result of his surprise, mingled with a good deal of shame over his outburst of temper the day before. But it nearly swept the remnant of her courage from Anne’s heart. “If he’s so cross now what will he be when he hears what I’ve done,” she reflected miserably, as she rapped at the door. But Mr. Harrison opened it, smiling sheepishly, and invited her to enter in a tone quite mild and friendly, if somewhat nervous. He had laid aside his pipe and donned his coat; he offered Anne a very dusty chair very politely, and her reception would have passed off pleasantly enough if it had not been for the telltale of a parrot who was peering through the bars of his cage with wicked golden eyes. No sooner had Anne seated herself than Ginger exclaimed, “Bless my soul, what’s that redheaded snippet coming here for?” It would be hard to say whose face was the redder, Mr. Harrison’s or Anne’s. “Don’t you mind that parrot,” said Mr. Harrison, casting a furious glance at Ginger. “He’s . . . he’s always talking nonsense. I got him from my brother who was a sailor. Sailors don’t always use the choicest language, and parrots are very imitative birds.” “So I should think,” said poor Anne, the remembrance of her errand quelling her resentment. She couldn’t afford to snub Mr. Harrison under the circumstances, that was certain. When you had just sold a man’s Jersey cow offhand, without his knowledge or consent you must not mind if his parrot repeated uncomplimentary things. Nevertheless, the “redheaded snippet” was not quite so meek as she might otherwise have been. “I’ve come to confess something to you, Mr. Harrison,” she said resolutely. “It’s . . . it’s about . . . that Jersey cow.” “Bless my soul,” exclaimed Mr. Harrison nervously, “has she gone and broken into my oats again? Well, never mind . . . never mind if she has. It’s no difference . . . none at all, I . . . I was too hasty yesterday, that’s a fact. Never mind if she has.” “Oh, if it were only that,” sighed Anne. “But it’s ten times worse. I don’t . . .” “Bless my soul, do you mean to say she’s got into my wheat?” “No . . . no . . . not the wheat. But . . .” “Then it’s the cabbages! She’s broken into my cabbages that I was raising for Exhibition, hey?” “It’s not the cabbages, Mr. Harrison. I’ll tell you everything . . . that is what I came for—but please don’t interrupt me. It makes me so nervous. Just let me tell my story and don’t say anything till I get through—and then no doubt you’ll say plenty,” Anne concluded, but in thought only. “I won’t say another word,” said Mr. Harrison, and he didn’t. But Ginger was not bound by any contract of silence and kept ejaculating, “Redheaded snippet” at intervals until Anne felt quite wild. “I shut my Jersey cow up in our pen yesterday. This morning I went to Carmody and when I came back I saw a Jersey cow in your oats. Diana and I chased her out and you can’t imagine what a hard time we had. I was so dreadfully wet and tired and vexed—and Mr. Shearer came by that very minute and offered to buy the cow. I sold her to him on the spot for twenty dollars. It was wrong of me. I should have waited and consulted Marilla, of course. But I’m dreadfully given to doing things without thinking—everybody who knows me will tell you that. Mr. Shearer took the cow right away to ship her on the afternoon train.” “Redheaded snippet,” quoted Ginger in a tone of profound contempt. At this point Mr. Harrison arose and, with an expression that would have struck terror into any bird but a parrot, carried Ginger’s cage into an adjoining room and shut the door. Ginger shrieked, swore, and otherwise conducted himself in keeping with his reputation, but finding himself left alone, relapsed into sulky silence. “Excuse me and go on,” said Mr. Harrison, sitting down again. “My brother the sailor never taught that bird any manners.” “I went home and after tea I went out to the milking pen. Mr. Harrison,” . . . Anne leaned forward, clasping her hands with her old childish gesture, while her big gray eyes gazed imploringly into Mr. Harrison’s embarrassed face . . . “I found my cow still shut up in the pen. It was your cow I had sold to Mr. Shearer.” “Bless my soul,” exclaimed Mr. Harrison, in blank amazement at this unlooked-for conclusion. “What a very extraordinary thing!” “Oh, it isn’t in the least extraordinary that I should be getting myself and other people into scrapes,” said Anne mournfully. “I’m noted for that. You might suppose I’d have grown out of it by this time . . . I’ll be seventeen next March . . . but it seems that I haven’t. Mr. Harrison, is it too much to hope that you’ll forgive me? I’m afraid it’s too late to get your cow back, but here is the money for her . . . or you can have mine in exchange if you’d rather. She’s a very good cow. And I can’t express how sorry I am for it all.” “Tut, tut,” said Mr. Harrison briskly, “don’t say another word about it, miss. It’s of no consequence . . . no consequence whatever. Accidents will happen. I’m too hasty myself sometimes, miss . . . far too hasty. But I can’t help speaking out just what I think and folks must take me as they find me. If that cow had been in my cabbages now . . . but never mind, she wasn’t, so it’s all right. I think I’d rather have your cow in exchange, since you want to be rid of her.” “Oh, thank you, Mr. Harrison. I’m so glad you are not vexed. I was afraid you would be.” “And I suppose you were scared to death to come here and tell me, after the fuss I made yesterday, hey? But you mustn’t mind me, I’m a terrible outspoken old fellow, that’s all . . . awful apt to tell the truth, no matter if it is a bit plain.” “So is Mrs. Lynde,” said Anne, before she could prevent herself. “Who? Mrs. Lynde? Don’t you tell me I’m like that old gossip,” said Mr. Harrison irritably. “I’m not . . . not a bit. What have you got in that box?” “A cake,” said Anne archly. In her relief at Mr. Harrison’s unexpected amiability her spirits soared upward feather-light. “I brought it over for you . . . I thought perhaps you didn’t have cake very often.” “I don’t, that’s a fact, and I’m mighty fond of it, too. I’m much obliged to you. It looks good on top. I hope it’s good all the way through.” “It is,” said Anne, gaily confident. “I have made cakes in my time that were not, as Mrs. Allan could tell you, but this one is all right. I made it for the Improvement Society, but I can make another for them.” “Well, I’ll tell you what, miss, you must help me eat it. I’ll put the kettle on and we’ll have a cup of tea. How will that do?” “Will you let me make the tea?” said Anne dubiously. Mr. Harrison chuckled. “I see you haven’t much confidence in my ability to make tea. You’re wrong . . . I can brew up as good a jorum of tea as you ever drank. But go ahead yourself. Fortunately it rained last Sunday, so there’s plenty of clean dishes.” Anne hopped briskly up and went to work. She washed the teapot in several waters before she put the tea to steep. Then she swept the stove and set the table, bringing the dishes out of the pantry. The state of that pantry horrified Anne, but she wisely said nothing. Mr. Harrison told her where to find the bread and butter and a can of peaches. Anne adorned the table with a bouquet from the garden and shut her eyes to the stains on the tablecloth. Soon the tea was ready and Anne found herself sitting opposite Mr. Harrison at his own table, pouring his tea for him, and chatting freely to him about her school and friends and plans. She could hardly believe the evidence of her senses. Mr. Harrison had brought Ginger back, averring that the poor bird would be lonesome; and Anne, feeling that she could forgive everybody and everything, offered him a walnut. But Ginger’s feelings had been grievously hurt and he rejected all overtures of friendship. He sat moodily on his perch and ruffled his feathers up until he looked like a mere ball of green and gold. “Why do you call him Ginger?” asked Anne, who liked appropriate names and thought Ginger accorded not at all with such gorgeous plumage. “My brother the sailor named him. Maybe it had some reference to his temper. I think a lot of that bird though . . . you’d be surprised if you knew how much. He has his faults of course. That bird has cost me a good deal one way and another. Some people object to his swearing habits but he can’t be broken of them. I’ve tried . . . other people have tried. Some folks have prejudices against parrots. Silly, ain’t it? I like them myself. Ginger’s a lot of company to me. Nothing would induce me to give that bird up . . . nothing in the world, miss.” Mr. Harrison flung the last sentence at Anne as explosively as if he suspected her of some latent design of persuading him to give Ginger up. Anne, however, was beginning to like the queer, fussy, fidgety little man, and before the meal was over they were quite good friends. Mr. Harrison found out about the Improvement Society and was disposed to approve of it. “That’s right. Go ahead. There’s lots of room for improvement in this settlement . . . and in the people too.” “Oh, I don’t know,” flashed Anne. To herself, or to her particular cronies, she might admit that there were some small imperfections, easily removable, in Avonlea and its inhabitants. But to hear a practical outsider like Mr. Harrison saying it was an entirely different thing. “I think Avonlea is a lovely place; and the people in it are very nice, too.” “I guess you’ve got a spice of temper,” commented Mr. Harrison, surveying the flushed cheeks and indignant eyes opposite him. “It goes with hair like yours, I reckon. Avonlea is a pretty decent place or I wouldn’t have located here; but I suppose even you will admit that it has some faults?” “I like it all the better for them,” said loyal Anne. “I don’t like places or people either that haven’t any faults. I think a truly perfect person would be very uninteresting. Mrs. Milton White says she never met a perfect person, but she’s heard enough about one . . . her husband’s first wife. Don’t you think it must be very uncomfortable to be married to a man whose first wife was perfect?” “It would be more uncomfortable to be married to the perfect wife,” declared Mr. Harrison, with a sudden and inexplicable warmth. When tea was over Anne insisted on washing the dishes, although Mr. Harrison assured her that there were enough in the house to do for weeks yet. She would dearly have loved to sweep the floor also, but no broom was visible and she did not like to ask where it was for fear there wasn’t one at all. “You might run across and talk to me once in a while,” suggested Mr. Harrison when she was leaving. “’Tisn’t far and folks ought to be neighborly. I’m kind of interested in that society of yours. Seems to me there’ll be some fun in it. Who are you going to tackle first?” “We are not going to meddle with people . . . it is only places we mean to improve,” said Anne, in a dignified tone. She rather suspected that Mr. Harrison was making fun of the project. When she had gone Mr. Harrison watched her from the window . . . a lithe, girlish shape, tripping lightheartedly across the fields in the sunset afterglow. “I’m a crusty, lonesome, crabbed old chap,” he said aloud, “but there’s something about that little girl makes me feel young again . . . and it’s such a pleasant sensation I’d like to have it repeated once in a while.” “Redheaded snippet,” croaked Ginger mockingly. Mr. Harrison shook his fist at the parrot. “You ornery bird,” he muttered, “I almost wish I’d wrung your neck when my brother the sailor brought you home. Will you never be done getting me into trouble?” Anne ran home blithely and recounted her adventures to Marilla, who had been not a little alarmed by her long absence and was on the point of starting out to look for her. “It’s a pretty good world, after all, isn’t it, Marilla?” concluded Anne happily. “Mrs. Lynde was complaining the other day that it wasn’t much of a world. She said whenever you looked forward to anything pleasant you were sure to be more or less disappointed . . . perhaps that is true. But there is a good side to it too. The bad things don’t always come up to your expectations either . . . they nearly always turn out ever so much better than you think. I looked forward to a dreadfully unpleasant experience when I went over to Mr. Harrison’s tonight; and instead he was quite kind and I had almost a nice time. I think we’re going to be real good friends if we make plenty of allowances for each other, and everything has turned out for the best. But all the same, Marilla, I shall certainly never again sell a cow before making sure to whom she belongs.
