The most important press freedom case in the world will be decided *this week.*
This journalist has been in a London prison for almost five years for exposing state criminality.
If the UK sends to the country he exposed he will die in a US prison cell.
This week the UK will decide. It’s now or never. Defend Assange. His life and the future of journalism depend on it.

2026, Two men meet in a San Francisco alleyway to buy a USB drive with LLaMA-7 weights:
"How do I know you're not a CEA agent?"
"Come on bro, we worked at Meta together. Trust me, the CEA does not pay enough to make me switch, ha ha."
"Well you came to the right place. This LLaMA-7 stuff, it's top of the line. You won't find a cleaner set of weights anywhere."
"Looks good. You're right, this is big. So big that it's worth a lot to the CEA."
"Wait, what do you mean?"
[A CEA SWAT team appears out of the shadows]
"I'm sorry, they told me it was either this, or 30 years for the Minecraft server I was caught running."

Freedom must be defended at the fringes, which are unfortunately occupied by assholes.
In short, it must always be legal to be an asshole.

We shall realize, with time, that it makes little sense to ask permission from those who hate us. Permission will not be forthcoming... and permission is not necessary.
Our raison d'être is *permissionless* finance: open, transparent, universal, objective, and sound.

A lot of people on both sides of the culture war are going to regret getting into bed with people they've got into bed with and tolerating behaviour they abhor because it was their side doing it.
"I know he's acting like an asshole but he's OUR asshole" will always backfire.

The Biden Admin is quietly executing a highly coordinated plan, across virtually every financial regulator, to strangle the crypto industry by cutting it off from the banking sector. @nic_carter explains in an explosive guest post — piratewires.com/p/crypto-cho…

I think it’s remarkable that we’ve built a cryptocurrency where some poor schmuck can’t spend their money without everyone on Twitter knowing all the details and commenting about it.

Amazing compendium of failures of "provable security": eprint.iacr.org/2019/1336. I saw a preprint months ago and the shock value of the huge lists still hasn't worn off. I think (and hope) this will put an end to the delusion that provable-security failures are isolated mistakes.
