1. The idea that the NSA possesses such an inherent (and permanent) advantage vs. all others on planet earth that there could exist vulnerabilities / exploits that only it could exploit (and nobody else; American hubris at its finest possibly)
2. The idea that there are no 'double agents', 'spies' (etc.) that are embedded within the relevant intelligence agencies dealing with these secrets.
3. The failure to put a 'cap' or timestamped limit for when the vulnerability will be patched. For example, perhaps they find a vulnerability that they consider to be NOBUS in 2011, and decide to leave that exploit unpatched - when does it become patched? Surely, the NSA cannot have believed that they stumbled across exploits that nobody would ever be able to exploit at any point in time - either then or in the future, right?
4. The NSA has frequently made purchases of certain exploits on the 'grey market' from various vendors. To leave those exploits unpatched exhibits stupidity in its rawest form because, by virtue of the fact that there exists a 3rd-party vendor with the ability to find certain zero-day vulnerabilities in software (among other things), means that the assumption should be that there exists 3rd-parties (in general), with the capability to find the same bugs / exploits and leverage them by passing that information on to their respective intelligence unit(s).
This policy of 'NOBUS' has resulted in tens of millions of Americans becoming the victim of various data breaches, hacks, ransomware etc.

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
Telegram Auto-Delete Messages in Any Chat
Some messages aren’t supposed to last forever. There are some Telegram groups and conversations where it’s best if messages are automatically deleted in a day or a week. Here’s how to auto-delete messages in any Telegram chat. You can enable the auto-delete feature on a per-chat basis. It works for both one-on-one conversations and group chats. Previously, you needed to use the Secret Chat feature to automatically delete messages after a set time. At the time of writing, you can choose to automatically delete messages after a day or a week. Telegram starts the timer once they are sent, not after they are read. This won’t affect the messages that were sent before enabling the feature.
