My father covered the Civil Rights Movement for the Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post and knew Martin Luther King Jr. This is from the Post's story on MLK's funeral. I think dad got it exactly right. The white establishment wants King's legacy to be "let's all get along and love one another." Don't let it happen. King was a radical. He knew there can be no racial justice amid systemic economic inequality. Fight for the poor and against cops murdering Black people. #mlkday #blm #mlk

With the Guardian newspaper hit by ransomware, this is your occasional reminder:

We don't have a ransomware problem per se. We have a Bitcoin problem. Any financial system that can electronically transmit $5M ransoms without KYC/AML checks would do. But such a system is only cryptocurrency. Banks would rightly view allowing ransom payment as an exestential threat, while $5M in cash is 50kg, and needs to be picked up in person.

The Ransomware Problem Is a Bitcoin Problem

The best way to deal with this new era of big-game ransomware will involve not just securing computer systems or prosecuting criminals, but disrupting the one payment channel capable of moving millions at a time outside of money laundering laws: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
