Perhaps. They're currently heading off in several directions that don't lead to that though.

Emergency mechanisms... In other words changes to the blockchain to backdoor the system for "specific" accounts.

My answer to this is the same as when Ethereum rewound their chain for the DAO: *FUCK YOU*. Doing so makes the whole blockchain a scam and puts the most important part (immutability) into the dumpster. This is why I still support Ethereum "classic", it's the miners and chain that didn't just bow down to some random loser who couldn't write a proper contract.

If that happens to Bitcoin I sell immediately. Don't care if it goes to a million a coin, I will forever know that ownership of my coins is based on the benevolence of the "recovery committee".

Re the "panties" pics: there seems to be a perfect correlation between getting a bag of groceries and losing the panties Wink

It also seems to happen in bowling alleys for some reason. I have talked to several real women about this, and apparently this does. not. happen.

Which means these images might be from a post-apocalyptic future where womens' panties are lead lined to protect from atomic fallout or a universe where the gravitational constant is higher.

Or someone really likes bondage in a very very specific way. Dunno.

So Parler was actually "hacked" by its security providers. Nice. That's exactly what you want in a security provider.

Not at all.

In any authentication system you have a choice to "fail safe" or "fail deadly" in the event of a problem. In Parler's case, when Twillo went offline they could no longer send out confirmation emails to verify new accounts or changing of passwords.

This happens in life. Cloud vendors are not 1000% reliable, communication errors happen, people forget to pay their bills, etc. When this happens you stop creating new accounts or stop allowing password resets until it's fixed.

Parler did not do this.

Instead their code just ignored the fact the system was down and allowed the user to do things anyway. This is set up for "minimal user disruption" because making sure the user has a nice "fluid" experience is more important than actual security.

THAT is the problem. You have a company run by security morons. Now they could have hired someone to do this right, but it's possible they didn't want to pay for it. Or they believed it was more important to have a good user experience than effective security.

Ah well.

Personally, I don't see how this could be helped besides remembering.

In the future, some complicated methods could be considered, but nothing that would go back and unlock already existing accounts.
I can see methods like personal attestation, genetics (DNA sample), image, document, iris scan, fingerprint, maybe something else IF taken all together BEFOREHAND and not separately.
This would have to be encrypted and voluntary, of course.
I think that we would move from the need to know the private key directly, but not sure how.
Of course, it would never be applied to old wallets with lost keys because the ownership cannot be proven.

Arstechnica article providing more detail on the Parler hack.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/01/parlers-amateur-coding-could-come-back-to-haunt-capitol-hill-rioters/

From the article:

"Parler’s site was a mess. Its public API used no authentication. When users deleted their posts, the site failed to remove the content and instead only added a delete flag to it. Oh, and each post carried a numerical ID that was incremented from the ID of the most recently published one."

"Another amateur mistake was Parler’s failure to scrub geolocations from images and videos posted online. Sites like Twitter and Google routinely remove such metadata from content posted by their users. The video files hosted on Parler, by contrast, were “raw,” meaning they still contained this information."

What is this? A social network for ants?

More to the point, I think when their identity providers (Okta and Twillio) pulled support the site failed to "open API" access. Better than shutting down I guess.

Not.

Oh well, as always, never write anything on the Internet that you wouldn't want read aloud in your town square. That goes for this site too....

So Parler was actually "hacked" by its security providers. Nice. That's exactly what you want in a security provider.

I called my parents to see if they wanted to go shotgun shooting. They called their neighbor and apparently the whole family is in the hospital with CoVID. Apparently it's not like the flu, and the remaining son is home with pneumonia.

Seems serious.

Facebook and Twitter are perfect examples of socialism:

You get it for free,

...

if something is free the chances are high that YOU are the product.

It's not free since you have to provide personally identifying information and a contact method. Those two things are extremely valuable and should remain as private as possible.

"Whale entities" continued to accumulate bitcoin yesterday...

https://www.coindesk.com/whales-investors-bitcoin-crash

Now the lower bound is 1000btc (used to be above 10K btc), at what price 100btc would be a "whale entity"?
Maybe at $1mil/btc for the MSM to declare someone a "whale".

A fast calculation just for fun...

there are 10K-25K large (blue) whales in the world, with a total number of whales at about 75K.
According to the link below, there are cumulatively 25K owners of more than 89btc and 7.5K owners of more than 215 btc.
therefore, strictly speaking in reference to actual whales, you are a bitcoin "whale" with somewhere around 75-80 btc and you are a bitcoin "blue whale" with more than 200btc.

World War Three ? :\ #massgenocide

People they just don't listen when some say to take their vitamins.. (D3, Bioflavonoids+C, Zinc, coffee for blood pressure increase (or hydroclorixicinidine or wtf its named... etc), healthy diet and making the cardiovascular system strong.

.... Also the vaccine is probably making it worse since its only good for the versions of strain that was 12 months ago.

Also they need to social distance and stay the f^ck away in separate rooms, alone, and open the window often for fresh air.

Edit: I also recommend hot cocoa with milk. ( Not coco (the one with sugar), but cocoa the powder without sugar. Because D3 gets deactivated when you eat sugars. (or at least its not as efficient), the cocoa also helps balance the Zinc cuz it contains Copper.

)

Copper + zinc also aids in the brassing of your balls so you can more easily deal with other aspects of the pandemic.

mempool is a little high at the moment at around 180MB or 134 blocks behind.
I am not planning on moving anything just yet though so not a problem.
Will try and consolidate all the dust inputs when it comes back down.
I guess it is to be expected considering all the recent action.
Not trying to FUD just an observation.
