Ok. Medical: chronic PVT, and pseudobraintumor due to tetracycline allergie. Financial History 40k per year from 2011-2015 , last year no income, master student CS. That sums it up, I should probably post the details on github soon, since that is the policy of the company im founding following buffer.io precedent. It is my firm belief that openness and honesty is as important for societal progress as it is for the scientific sort. But I don't expect you to adopt my sentiment only to weigh the full context of the consequences.

That's great! But this is a personal decision, and I would never do what you just did. Let's just both agree not to force our differing personal feelings about privacy on the other, and we won't have an issue.

Why did you redact or omit your social security number and bank account numbers?

  You're conflating privacy and security (which are similar I know). If you know my entire banking history that's a privacy issue (which jfaucett was ok with). However, if you are able to access my account and take money, that's a security problem. The line can get really fuzzy sometimes, but they are different issues.

    So did Wikileaks violate privacy or security when they released data containing unredacted credit card and social security numbers?

      Security. Although SSN in theory should be a privacy issue. Credit card numbers are clearly similar to keys. They are the keys to your bank balance.

I could not agree more. I've learned to be ridiculously honest over recent years and it makes everyone happier (in the long run). When everyone knows the truth they can make better decisions. This applies at all levels. Secrets hurt everyone. (This does not apply to security things, like passwords, bank account numbers and the location of my house key).
