I'm a fan and daily user of Signal, but here is the harsh reality that this outage (going on for more than half a day now) exposes: Signal is not, today, suitable as a primary secure communication channel. Maybe one day when it scales,

Genuine question: why is there so much pure teeming hatred for data scientists in this comment thread? Almost every comment comes off as full of snark and vitriol against data scientists.

Those who work at Facebook, of which there are many on HN: how do you justify or rationalize your employer engaging in behavior like this?

I have stopped communicating with friends and family who try communicating via insecure apps. I send a response saying I will only read Signal or similar messages from them. Some think this is a hardline, but my security is important to me,

What is the point of the partial redaction in this blog post (and corresponding journal article) if with a simple web search you can find the unredacted PII of the individual given in the example?

This seems like a vector for 1) malicious content (malware, spyware, cryptominers), 2) spam (referral links, MLM sites), 3) offensive content (shock sites, extreme pornography), 4) illegal content (child pornography, terrorist material).

The paperwork was still required. So what exactly are you suggesting? That passengers forged medical paperwork en masse, knowing that airlines would not verify it? Is there evidence that this was happening anywhere?

That burden of proof has already existed in the form of having to file the requisite paperwork including a letter from a doctor as well as a specific animal behavior form. It was not just a matter of claiming $random_animal is an emotional

I'm finding a lot of the comments in this thread to be hurtful. Yes, many were abusing the system to register pets as service animals. No, that is not a reason to forbid the practice which was genuinely helpful to people like myself wh

I honestly cannot come up with any other explanation for why this is not taught in schools other than due to propaganda for Western powers.

Why is this not getting any media attention? Why is there no formal statement from Apple? Why is this behavior justifiable.

From a lay outsider's perspective, it seems like there is no real "balance of power" that's oft-touted when Americans discuss their politics. It seems like agencies like the DHS and CBP have all the power (backed by the
