 fuel sleeping Yeah, my wife and I we both were right now. We're on the Apple train. We use Apple devices. I got we both have iPhones I have an iPad we were on Android for a while, but For reasons other than privacy, we decided to switch back other than privacy And again, there's there's stuff that we're told and stuff that the settings tell us that is happening And then there's things that are we're not being told and you don't find out about until after the fact and And I'd like to think that Google is in Facebook or no one's doing it, but I'm just gonna assume that that's not the case Because there's money involved and there's gonna be somebody that Cuz I mean I used to you know part of my professional career was like a lot of security software And you know, we had there was a lot of data Point pun intended I just like a lot of a majority of data Breaches originate from the inside the company So yeah, you can be told that your data is being protected blah blah blah, but all it takes is one or two people inside the company And your data is out there Independent of what we're being told oh and twitch is getting up to boy If you if you guys haven't noticed if you look at twitch like the whole The whole data smart data AI stuff everything is now targeted Like look at twitch logged in and then go to an incognito and tell me what the experiences are or how they differ because They really they track a lot of crap now Like my ghost three goes nuts now with twitch and like I have a bunch of tracking block and stuff and it just goes crazy On twitch. It's just like and you can't stop it on mobile This is how they get you because there's there's there's not a lot of tracking blocking software on here So you watch twitch on mobile. They got you they got your data It's really really big on twitch now. I'm starting to wonder when they're gonna be the next Facebook in the media This and here's another thing. Remember our private messages on twitch. Y'all got y'all remember that the private messages and that data breach where People went to download messages and it had other people's messages in the data and they just glossed over that They just glossed over that data breach. It's like. Oh, yeah, by the way Your messages may have been sent to someone else Our bad. Sorry about that see you tomorrow I guess the I mean if I had a child and I had to teach him About online safety. I would just basically say just be careful what you put online Assume that what you put online? Everybody can see That's like a golden rule assume everything you put online including cloud saves Including any devices connected to cloud Including live streams chat assume that everybody can see what you're doing everybody And if you have that going in the back of your head that you can conduct yourself accordingly Generally, you should be okay So if you go in the chat room if you use a chat program that destroys messages But you assume that it didn't destroy it, you know, you're generally gonna be okay So when that stuff does come out you go, oh, I'm glad I'd listen, you know So I was like the rule of don't use passwords the same two passwords in two different places It's the same kind of rule man. It's like there's password breaches every week So if you use his passwords in two different places somebody's gonna find that out And that's why two factors a thing man. So yeah, it's It's the digital age Privacy and security I remember I was part of it. I remember when this stuff was first going mainstream and 80 to 90 percent of people were against it. They're like, I don't want my data out there I don't want you to have my data. Why are you storing my history? Why are you storing my cookie data? You know people were all against it. We had the What's the the the software foundation people the ESF May use F the the privacy foundation people, you know, they were formed because of that stuff and Everybody was against it and it just slowly over time through to the battle of attrition People just got worn down Google came in Offered all these conveniences and people just they just gave them EFF, thank you. Yeah, EFF Electronic Frontier Frontier Foundation, you know and Google came in with all these conveniences. I blame Google. I'm seriously because Google Shifted everything because it did a lot of things right and People said I don't care What you do with my data and Google had this policy that That they had this policy of don't be evil and they were using like Microsoft and other companies that were caught with their hands in the Cookie jar as scapegoats and they're saying we're not gonna do this stuff that these other companies did and their model was don't be evil My have times changed It's amazing how times have changed in it. It's like Microsoft is now on the side of we're protecting your data We're trying to protect your privacy We're not gonna sell your data and Google's the one going Hey, won't you go check out our new phone? And now Google's really pushing their Chromebooks to there they're going after Microsoft. I saw some ads the other day That was forced to thanks Hulu You know you pay for no ads on Hulu when they still show you ads. It's the biggest scam on earth. I Don't know how to get away with it. Oh I saw the story about the banks We're getting data on your swipe patterns Because the phone stores how you swipe and how you tap and that data was being sold to banks. Oh But it's anonymous. Yeah, I Just couldn't and now they got these phones that have biometric stuff on them or bio stores device. Heck no You're not getting my fingerprint We had a day to breach on our devices We were supposed to encrypt our fingerprints data Locally and we weren't supposed to upload it. That was part of the design we had a an incident where The data somehow was moved to a location on the phone, which was unencrypted by a local worm and originally internally and We had some of our customers data. We estimate a small percentage of our customer data was Compromised We didn't lose any credit card data. There was nothing financial We lost some names and addresses some phone numbers as fingerprints and what we're going to do is that we're gonna offer you all a Free service where we'll monitor your biometric data. And if it's used anywhere else, we'll take care of it for free jump shiny Ryan JC using way too many napkins I'm the happiest pessimist you'll find on the planet suggestions for webmail There's a duck duck go ahead a good article Duck duck go ahead a great article on that I might have to look it up for you because they put out some great stuff about What they believe are some of the better sites. They're saying they're foolproof or anything And there was one webmail that they recommended. I don't remember what it was Wow Someone is sensitive Y'all using way too many napkins put from 2017 fast mail I Think it's one I've heard fast mail being mentioned before because it uses PGP Proton mail. I've heard of that. Yeah proton mail fast mail. I've never heard this too to know that what is that? Yeah proton mail might be the one you want my own go with they got some good apps I don't know if they have they do what they do. Okay. They do have an iOS app. They have a web version I haven't heard of any incidents with proton mail lately, but this is set. This is 20 2017 data Because y'all using way too many napkins. Yeah, I'm a big fan of duck that go Big fan huge fan They're using way too many napkins over there at Google jump Commander Yeah, but guys, I may sound like I'm miserable But I just I just look at life from a realistic perspective and I try to mitigate as much as possible because if you You can be really miserable if you just worry about this stuff 24-7 You just have to live by a set of rules and just try to stick to them as best as possible I just know that but there's stuff that they're not telling you This is That's like a life rule. Nobody gives you the full story man. There are always somebody hides them It's like you got to look at them like Leonardo DiCaprio and uh an Inception you're gonna be like you gotta do like that monkey. He'll be moat the monkey. Hmm like Oh, I'm a brand up. Hey, it's things every how you doing man What's your opinion on blockchain technology? I don't even know what it is Because I'm gonna explain to me what it is. Is it I is IOT is it is it is it micro services Why what is blockchain other than the marketing term? What is it? It's so is that I just heard all of a sudden this term came up and From what I looked it up for like a good six minutes less than that and I was like so they just combined Everything into one term Everything distributed into one term is that what it is? Is it like distributed services? Trying to set up your Twitch stream. I've been good man. I've been good been doing this is what you grind myself What is blockchain can someone explain it to me like I'm a five-year-old because I Really think it's one of those marketing things that they themselves don't understand but they they talk about all the time Yeah, use the blockchain. Mm-hmm. You having problems with your database blockchain it Yeah Your vending machine went out your work. You need to install a blockchain on it. You get a new bike. I hope you put a blockchain on it Oh, don't buy a jewelry from there. You need to go up there and buy a blockchain jump commander Distributed services plus a trustless DB plus self-correcting DB that sounds like everything I used to call the service oriented architecture like so a stuff distributed services No central anything everything is distributed I mean some of the stuff you've naming or cat were characteristics of them But it looks like they just segmented it off and just called it blockchain. I don't know Maybe it's a trend of integration standards. I Guess that's the that's the way I can look at it's like it says some kind of a standard that everybody's agreeing to because this whole distributed thing it was like the Wild Wild West, you know, it's like you pick a language and And Essentially to integrate you'd have to write something to talk to each other and if people wise up, it's like let's stick to a stand Let's go restful. Let's go this let's go that you know for web stuff. I'm gonna talk about IOT Let's stick to a standard and I don't I mean this stuff has been around for I don't know how long It's just been called different things. So I think I really think blockchain is like the what was the other marketing term? Big data that was another big that was that big data was a big term There was big data blockchain If you're in development software development Agile, oh Yeah cloud oh man so many buzzwords to get you to spend money on stuff I used to consult with a lot of this stuff man. It came down to people It always came down to people. It wasn't processes. It was always the people Processes help, but it was We had some weird adverse in TV you're doing work of advertising. They want to use blockchain to change people's lives The company that it's it's this pie in the sky stuff man Big data's my new cakes today That's good. Yeah, who is that? That's big data Now playing not set Oh But I mean I'm not saying block my blockchain is not useful I'm just it's a label for something. I don't quite identify with I've been out of the game for almost two years Actually, September of this month. I'll be out of The game for say for two years. So all this new buzzword stuff. I'm just not up to date on That was my world for for 10 plus years, but I Got laid off September 2017 or 16. I'm sorry 2016 I just I just haven't been in that world. I did some consulting a little bit the first year, but I'm just out of the loop Some of the same problems are still there though Wait a transaction is written on a piece of paper This piece of paper is then added to a binder filled with other pieces of paper. The binder is the blockchain That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life The internet is made of bunches of ones and zeros and they drive big big tubes They got these big tubes and you can imagine big dump trucks You take the dump trucks and you move data and it gets clogged up. It's your blockchain it It's equivalent to that explanation of the internet The binder is the blockchain and you've got transactions. I Mean you could call that a cue Who's ever dealt with Java queuing that sounds like a cue. How could you just gonna you just gonna take a cue and Call the blockchain It's like asynchronous link lists all this stuff all these different things where you take data It could be a freaking pointer. I don't know whether it could be something as simple as an array It could be a piece of paper And you just gonna call the blockchain I'm hoping there's a standard to it Okay, if they if they slap a standard on it, right if they slap a standard on it and People are agreeing to doing these Binders using similar protocols and techniques. I'm all for renaming it But it's just gonna take everything out there that uses God knows what language What language and just what protocol and what standard and you just gonna say if you take that data and you combine it Together with something else Then it's a blockchain That's so weird man That's so weird. I think they're keeping it vague for a reason. I Gotta look more into it though. I really need to understand what blockchain is because it's all over the place And if I'm gonna have an intelligent conversation with anybody about tech today and they mentioned blockchain I got to understand Yeah, let me permit you. It's a linked list of transactions It's a queue I mean anybody ever use JMS in there in there in their tech career anybody use JMS at all Java messaging service It was very it was very common. I don't know if it's still being used today It just reminds me of a standard Java queue. It's just that's what you do you slap these messages It could be transactions. They could be data. They could be blobs be anything you black box The whole thing you don't care what it is. You just care about the size of it and You just slap this up there and then if somebody wants to grab it like a bulletin board somebody wants to grab it You can grab it. It's like a binder. You can take a page out of the book if you want That's what it sounds like to me and It just looks like a rebranding of it It is the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto Are you kidding me they don't even know who made it my longest boy ever don't waft. What it boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy Boy Thank you back for the boina boys everybody show packs of love in the chat So they don't even know who did it according to this article It says it was made by a person or a group of people go that go by a pseudonym. So was it aliens? I'm gonna go with aliens But since then it has evolved to something greater Allowing digital information to be distributed, but not copied. You know what not I'm reading this. I Think they just wanted the marketing name for Bitcoin But they didn't want to call it Bitcoin because it's a it's a curse word in the households of politicians I really think this is a roundabout way of describing digital currency Now I'm reading this it makes sense That's what it is. I get it. I got it. I don't need to read anything else. I can completely understand it now I got it down That that that just that just that was two plus two for me Because I was thinking about it programmatically. I was thinking about it logically and that's the wrong way to go This is this is for lack of a better word. It's an agenda This is For lack of a better word and it's smart. I think it's smart because again Bitcoin It is an it's taboo The politicians hate the word. I mean, it's like is it Bankers go crazy when they talk about Bitcoin They hate it So they call it blockchain Just call it blockchain. They're like, oh, okay. You're not talking about Bitcoin. You're talking about blockchain. Oh I was worried there for a second. It's free real estate I can have that makes that make sense I'm not I'm not saying they're stupid for doing this. It's it's it's obviously I'm gonna say obviously because it's not obvious, but It seems to be a way to just get digital currency to be accepted You put a marketing buzzword about it. I mean look at big data if you if you Understood what went behind big data you probably wouldn't back it Because that's what Facebook was doing. It was all about getting that data Putting some business rules on it putting some logic to it and making some sense out of it to create heuristics So she could do some cool things like create targeted ads That was just one part of big data But you had this these mountains of data that was being collected and there was so much you could do with it and sell it Complete That's exactly what they're complaining about right now, but back then it was just all big data big data is all about data. That's big You really might talk about big day of the day. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, it's no big day to talk today Yeah, it's digital currency. It's basically digital care. They're explaining the technology Behind digital currency and they're calling it blockchain, but if you break it down, it's what we've been using for years It's just more secure To the word of the way they did to say we're we're We're moving data on the internet Not allowing it to be copied. That's called security That's called secure data. If nobody could copy my data That's called secure data. They've been using way too many napkins I mean, that's why I laughed at that. I'm like data can't be this data can't be copied I'm like, wait a minute. Isn't that just secure data? Because that's why we have tunnels. That's why we have no That's why we have uh, what you call it HTTPS, that's why we have secure shell We don't want the data to be copied. We we're we're protecting the data So it's just funny that they described it that way, but I get it. I get it now I get it. I can I can I can explain Bitcoin. I'm sorry. I can explain a blockchain or somebody else And I'm not going to use a binder to describe it I'm going to use a truck analogy. I'm going to say blockchain is an armored truck That takes your money from your bank or from the store To your bank or from the ATM that you deposit to your ATM to your bank blockchain Are the armored trucks and the guards to make sure that nobody can take your bitcoins. I mean I mean your data your your transactions Can't say bitcoin How many more jumps too many napkins 18 And they keep track of every piece of data that entered the armored truck and where it went. It's a clipboard It's a ledger The bags have probably have ID tags. They have exactly what's in them if they're good I mean it it makes sense. I understand it now. It's it's less It's less vague now Because I see why they're doing it. It wasn't the what was confusing me. It's the why that clarified it for me And nobody ever mentioned bitcoin to me before when I talked about it And when they said when I read that in that one article about how It was originally conceived I think the wording was originally conceived for for bitcoin it clicked Yeah, exactly lord nargo bit bitcoin and digital just digital currency in itself shakes up the the traditional pillars that
