  The podcast explores the security of the Bitcoin protocol using the universal composability (UC) framework. A UC security proof for Bitcoin is presented, specifying its goal as a parametrizable ledger functionality. A new, weaker but implementable ledger functionality is proposed, demonstrating that an abstraction of the Bitcoin protocol securely achieves it under certain assumptions (global clock, random oracle, and idealized network). It shows how previous property-based approaches can be viewed as special cases of this UC treatment, and discusses the implications for composition with other protocols. Finally, the improvement of security guarantees by incorporating public key cryptography is analyzed.

  The Irish Potato Famine, one of the most devastating events in Irish history, did not occur in a vacuum but was the result of a complex web of agricultural, social, and political factors that had been building for centuries. Understanding the roots of the famine requires a deep dive into the role of potatoes in Irish agriculture, the socio-economic conditions of 19th-century Ireland, and the historical context of British colonial policies that shaped the lives of the Irish people. 
  The potato had become the cornerstone of Irish agriculture by the early 19th century. Its ability to grow in Ireland's challenging soil and its high nutritional value made it the ideal crop for the majority of the population. Potatoes provided an inexpensive, calorie-dense food source that sustained not only the rural laborers but also their families. By the 1840s, the potato was so integrated into Irish life that it made up the bulk of the diet for the rural poor, with many families relying solely on it for sustenance. This dependency created a fragile agricultural system, highly vulnerable to disease or crop failure. 
  The socio-economic conditions in Ireland at the time were dire. Most of the population lived in poverty, working as tenant farmers for English or Anglo-Irish landlords. The vast majority of land was concentrated in the hands of a small elite, and the system of land tenure kept most Irish peasants in a state of near-perpetual debt. This imbalance exacerbated the poverty faced by the rural poor, many of whom were already struggling to make ends meet. As a result, when the potato crop began to fail, the majority of Irish farmers had little in reserve and were left with few options for survival.

  After state capture, South Africa is f*cked not in a good place. The system is down. How do we reboot?
  
  Our is not the first country to find itself in a difficult spot. China, India, South Korea, Vietnam and many others have gone from being economic basket cases to powerhouses, lifting millions out of poverty. So how can we pick ourselves up and fix things? In this book, Roy Havemann argues that right now we need to focus on six basic 'E's: Eskom, Education, Environment, Exports, Equality, and Ethics.
  
  Havemann lays out how we can practically bring in lessons from other countries and learn from their achievements and mistakes, for example, how China, Greece and Colombia solved load-shedding, how different South American countries are dealing with inequality and how Brazil and Kenya are upgrading their education systems.
  He shows that we are slowly moving in the right direction. Our own 'Operation Vulindlela' delivery unit, which is a joint initiative of the Presidency and the Treasury, is implementing change where it's needed but more can be done to accelerate reforms to make South Africa a success. Sometimes the solutions to our problems are right here in our very own country – all that is needed is for us to recognise and harness them.
