Events of the past [sic] offer a not-so-gentle reminder of the dangers of deference & cheap trust. Your riskiest assumptions are the ones you outsource. No institution, individual, influencer, or cult of personality is infallible. Bias towards hard promises & independent thought.

Our heuristics for trust & security are deeply flawed. The problem won’t be solved by another company or piece of tech. The problem is believing it can be. The problem is ontological and epistemic. It will only be solved thru similar. And we can’t rely on companies who profit from information asymmetry. Security (& trust) follows intelligence here - it’s a networked phenomenon.

When you don’t know what you don’t know, so you outsource security to a single “trusted” company or piece of tech; you’ve already lost.

Quick point on the events yesterday - here's an open secret of the modern web: The apps, sites, & services you use every day are fundamentally not secure. Why? Bundles, dependencies & cheap trust.

— these authors, with no relation to your trusty nanny-cam company or credit score app, who never intended for their library to be used this way, who thought no one cared about the simple library they wrote a couple years ago

— this app you’re trusting - this frankenbundle of packages held together by duct tape, hope, an army of unpaid, underappreciated software engineers, a host of accounts that no longer exist, & a cacophony of m i c r o s e r v i c e s.

Deeply saddened by the brutal acts of terror, mass indiscriminate killings & sheer disregard for human life. When you hear “From the River to the Sea..” this is what that means: the total removal of Jews & Israelis from the land of Israel - through bloodshed, violence & terror.

Huge congrats to @lrettig and @teamspacemesh on genesis! A win for validator accessibility and decentralization at the consensus layer- and a reminder that those are inextricable dependencies of neutral, censorship-resistant, permissionless protocols.
Spacemesh is alive! Holy crap. ... I'm going back to bed

PMC surrealism - crypto rag quoting a pmc telegram on apparent declaration of "official commencement of civil war" as if Prigozhin is out here like Michael Scott shouting that he declares bankruptcy
Replying to @crypto_ninjas
📍According to a message shared on the Wagner PMC Telegram channel, one of their convoys has been targeted in an attack within the Voronezh region. Aviation assets are reportedly involved. This development has led to the declaration of an official commencement of civil war. "One of the Wagner PMC convoys in the Voronezh region has come under attack. Aviation assets are also engaged. The declaration of the official start of civil war has been made."

The proposed design of @Uniswap v4 is a strong model for web3 protocols. Unbundling into a lightweight, unopinionated core with strong support for arbitrary hooks/plugins can turn a protocol into a highly efficient, permissionless, versatile software platform
