Analog Equivalent Rights (17/21): The Previous Inviolability of Diaries

Privacy: For our analog parents, a diary or a personal letter could rarely be touched by authorities, not even by law enforcement searching for evidence of a crime. Objects such as these had protection over and above the constitutional privacy safeguards. For our digital children, however, the equivalent diaries and letters aren’t even considered worthy of basic constitutional privacy.

In most jurisdictions, there is a constitutional right to privacy. Law enforcement in such countries can’t just walk in and read somebody’s mail, wiretap their phonecalls, or track their IP addresses. They need a prior court order to do so, which in turn is based on a concrete suspicion of a serious crime: the general case is that you have a right to privacy, and violations of this rule are the exception, not the norm.

However, there’s usually a layer of protection over and above this: even if and when law enforcement gets permission from a judge to violate somebody’s privacy in the form of a search warrant of their home, there are certain things that may not be touched unless specific and additional permissions are granted by the same type of judge. This class of items includes the most private of the personal: private letters, diaries, and so on.

Of course, this is only true in the analog world of our parents. Even though the letter of the law is the same, this protection doesn’t apply at all to the digital world of our children, to their diaries and letters.

Because the modern diary is kept on a computer. If not on a desktop computer, then certainly on a mobile handheld one — what we’d call a “phone” for historical reasons, but what’s really a handheld computer.

And a computer is a work tool in the analog world of our parents. There are loads of precedent cases that establish any form of electronic device as a work tool, dating back well into the analog world, and law enforcement is falling back on all of them with vigor, even now that our digital devices are holding our diaries, personal letters, and other items far more private than an analog diary was ever capable of.

That’s right: whereas your parents’ diaries were extremely protected under the law of the land, your children’s diaries — no less private to them, than those of your parents were to your parents — are as protected from search and seizure as an ordinary steel wrench in a random workshop.

So the question is how we got from point A to point B here? Why are the Police, who know that they can’t touch an analog diary during a house search, instantly grabbing mobile phones which serve the same purpose for our children?

“Because they can”, is the short answer. “Also because nobody put their foot down” for advanced points on the civics course. It’s because some people saw short term political points in being “tough on crime” and completely erasing hard-won rights in the process.

Bitcoin, the Bitcoin Cash roadmap, and the Law of Two Feet

Bitcoin: As the dust settles after the November 15 bitcoin upgrade, the roadmaps have been updated with the new state of the protocol and people are starting to looking ahead to the next set of features. I thought I’d take the opportunity to give my view on it.

The new set of features ahead has been published on bitcoincash.org, which is for the most part spearheaded by the Bitcoin ABC implementation, but where Bitcoin Unlimited also deserves significant credit for research and development.

Clarification: “Bitcoin” refers to Bitcoin-BCH, or Bitcoin Cash
In this post, I’m talking about the “bitcoin roadmap”. As there’s more than one bitcoin, I should clarify that I’m referring to Bitcoin-BCH, or the “Cash” version of Bitcoin, as opposed to Bitcoin-BTC, the “Blockstream” fork of bitcoin. For those familiar with the subject, this would be obvious, as the Bitcoin-BTC version doesn’t have a roadmap to scale, such as I’m describing here.

This is the current “you are here” map as of end-2018:

The Bitcoin Cash roadmap as of end-2018, as published at bitcoincash.org.

I like this roadmap for two reasons. Or rather, for two levels of reasons.

The first is that I see bitcoin as the path to a world currency. In order to be so, it will need to carry an insanely heavier load, and because of the typical velocity of money, each bitcoin must be valued far higher than it is today — to a point where single satoshis are no longer a small unit, but represent maybe a few cents. That quanta (smallest possible discrete value) is not small enough to provide frictionless automated microtrade, which is why I’m looking forward to — and have been discreetly applauding — the fractional satoshis on the roadmap. The bigger footprint a network gets, the more inertia it takes to change something, so getting these two items in with reasonable speed is something I regard as key.

The third key item is extensibility — the ability to extend the protocol without asking permission, akin to how early browsers started supporting random new HTML markup tags left and right. This drove the standards forward and allowed for rapid feedback cycles with the user community, and something similar will be needed for permissionless innovation on top of bitcoin to really take off.

These three taken together happen to represent the final phase of the three tracks that the roadmap lists. I have some understanding that each of them have necessary prerequisites that are being filled in some sort of logical order.

This brings me to the Law of Two Feet.

You see, it doesn’t really matter what I think of a feature, whether I like it or not. I am a diehard proponent of the Law of Two Feet: It simply means that if you don’t like something, then it is your responsibility — both toward yourself and the community you don’t like — to walk to a place you do like.

(Just to be clear, the Law of Two Feet is inclusive. It also applies to people who don’t have two actual feet.)

This is what I worded as the Freedom of Initiative and the Freedom to Follow, and it is absolutely key for permissionless innovation. You don’t get that the moment somebody is trying to give somebody else permission on what road they may choose.

Each of us have the freedom to take any initiative we want.

Each of us also have the freedom to follow any initiative we like.

But no one of us may tell another what they must or may not do.

I happen to very much approve of the above roadmap from where I’m sitting. But even if I didn’t, the freedom of initiative and freedom to follow are far more important than my opinion on this particular initiative.

It will happen in the course of time, that's your bottom bracket broke down. If you do not know exactly how you should install a new bearing, then you look at this video! Basically, the bottom bracket differ in "loose ball" and "sealed bearing". The loose ball bottom bracket are installed in many cheap beginners bikes. The bearings in turn differ in different sizes. Starting with the largest outer diameter are US-BB, MID-BB, SPAN-BB and EURO-BB. The EURO-BB you recognize the screw thread and are rarely built on a BMX frame. This is important, first you have to check if you have a 19mm or a 22mm axle crank!

Mika Köhler - Bike Check 2017



Our 18inch shredder Mika Köhler has built up his current whip with some fresh parts, which we had to check out!

Yo Mika, where do you come from and how long have you been riding?

Hey, I'm from Lauffen am Neckar, GER and I've been riding BMX for 4years now.

What is your favorite BMX video?

Many, but I prefer the Sunday grow up and the BSD Transmission DVD most!

What bike setup do you have and what can you tell about it?

So basically a bike for me has to be street-ready, black, clean and in 18 inches. I would prefer, if the whole setup would be built out of only 2-3 brands but it's a bit hard to find the perfect parts for a 18inch bike. This is why my bmx is equipped with about 15 different brands. Each part is carefully selected and fits like the fist on the eye. I'm particularly proud of the handlebars and cranks, which were the first custom parts of my first bmx, which was a stereo halfstack 18 ". Soon the cranks will be replaced and hung on the wall!

André Bodlin - Bike Check 2017



André Bodlin has recently received parts from eclat via traffic distro for his new whip, which we had to check out!

Yo André, where do you come from and how long have you been riding?

I come from the beautiful Sonthofen in the Allgäu, but I'm living for 3,5 years in Stuttgart now. I've been riding BMX for about 6-7 years.

What is your favorite BMX video?

Difficult task from the abundance of great BMX videos to choose a favorite, but the Above Below Part by Nathan Williams (filmed by Rich Forne) I've probably watched most.

What bike setup do you have and what can you tell about it?

Most of the parts on my bike are Éclat products. Only frame and handlebars come from Wethepeople. The frame is - since I`m not the largest - with the small top tube (20.75 ") quite perfect for me. In addition, I`ve made sure that the Chain Stay is slightly shorter. Tailwhips are a bit easier. There is not much more to report. Except maybe my light Chicago handlebars (but still limited). Oh yes: I am very satisfied :)

Fork: éclat Storm with 30mm
Bars: WeThePeople Patron 9“
Stem: éclat "Mercury V1" Topload

Anything else to talk about? Take your chance!

I would like to say "thank you" to all people who`ve supported, embossed or motivated me in any way. Whether family, friends or sponsors. Merci!

Yo André, thank you for your answers! We are glad to have you on board and look forward to the coming time with you!

Yo Kevin, where do you come from and how long have you been riding?

I'm riding my signature Autum Bikes "PIVN" frame for one year now and I just got my second sample of it and well... it's just perfect! It has a shorter chainstay, because I'm not the tallest. My setup isn't the usual „Flatland“ setup, it's actually more „Flat Street Whatever“.
