In #Bitcoin, where ownership is knowledge, privacy and security are one and the same.

Read that as many times as you need to.

#ShowerThought All security is security by obscurity. You know something your attacker doesn’t, and that’s what makes it secure.

Your post came at the right time. I’ve been contemplating security/ownership/posession/privacy lately.

It occurred to me that all security is security by obscurity.

Working definition of security: intentional, differential accessibility. That is, something is secure if it is accessible to a select few, and not others.

Working definition of obscurity: that which is unclear/unknown. Lack of information.

So consider your smartphone. You can get into it because you know the pin. An attacker without the pin can’t access it without difficulty. The asymmetrical difficult is what makes it secure. If you use face unlock, the information is the geometry of your face. Your face is “in form”. Your attacker lacks this form, making access difficult. Likewise for a key in a lock, etc.

The security of anything comes down to differential information. Knowledge is power.

Working definition of privacy: the ability to selectively reveal or conceal personal information.

Therefore, privacy is security. Without privacy, the information is not secret. If not secret, it’s insecure.

Tyrants of all stripes cannot stand privacy. It is by denial of privacy that they deny security, and by denying security, they deny property.

It’s all related.

That’s hot

Ownership, always and everywhere, starts with what you can defend.

In nature, you own something you defend against decay. If you have a cabin in the woods, you have to defend it against pests, rot, weather damage, etc.

In civilization, ownership is what the law permits. That is, your property is what you can defend (enforce) legally.

In #Bitcoin, ownership is pure knowledge—access to information. You either know the keys or you don’t. Your exclusive knowledge means defending this secret.

In all cases, therefore, ownership is essentially information. That is, “in formation”.

Your cabin is yours when it is “in form” (not decayed). In civilization, you assert domain by informing others of your legitimate title claim. In Bitcoin, you own the coins that you can sign for—you can put transactions “in form”.

Dang, and I didn’t even know it

TFW you want to go out but your owner keeps programming anyway. #dogstr

That looks like two 45lb plates on a 45lb bar for 135lbs (60kg) total. Yeah, he should be able to lift it.

We’re not even talking cleans here, or he’d have to have a double overhand grip. So he’s deadlifting for sure.

Good form though. 👍

It’s not too late to start, anon! 💪💪

Yeesh

PMS?

LET’S GOOOOOO

IDK. My problem is overeating. Limiting the hours of the day when eating is allowed is one of the two effective ways I’ve found not to overeat.

The other is extreme carbohydrate limiting (20g per day max).

At my weight and height, my BMI is 31, making me officially Obese by medical standards. 😅

Different macronutrients have different effects on metabolism. Carbohydrates trigger insulin release, which increases hunger and causes fat storage.

Yes, caloric deficit leads to weight loss. And it’s significantly easier to achieve that deficit by avoiding macronutrients that trigger fat storage and hunger (carbohydrates).

All soft forks are user enforced, so IMO it makes sense for users to activate them as well.

Who are the degens in this case?

One Meal A Day, haha, intermittent fasting.
