Ars hasn't known better in a good long time.
- enraged_camel 14y agoAgreed. Their quality has gone down a lot over the past couple of years. Every article they write is full of mistakes and inaccuracies. Honestly they only reason I still visit the site is to see Aurich Lawson's artwork.
- gwern 14y agoIt's funny that you mention mistakes and inaccuracies, because I'm actually waiting for the author of the OP article (Cyrus) to get around to replying to an email I sent him 4 days ago pointing out that the claims about Silk Road in http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/06/fbi-halted-one-child-porn-inquiry-because-tor-got-in-the-way/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/06/fbi-halted-one-ch... are completely false and this can be proven by merely reading the PDF used as the source for the article. Thinking about complaining to him on Twitter, maybe if I start being more public about it he'll bother to do something about a year-long mistake...
- gwern 14y agoI pinged him on Twitter and he fixed it within the hour. I guess I've learned a lesson here.
- enraged_camel 14y agoYeah. I find it kind of sad just how bad people are with email. I hate the idea of having to rely on Facebook or Twitter to get people to respond.
