As a scientist, I love that the Nobel Prize is occasionally awarded to deeply flawed, borderline insane people. For one, I believe it's a great humility check for the community at large. Also, I love watching the lengths others go to w

The speculation is always my favorite part of these things. Until we know, it could be anything - hacking, DDoS, bad engineering/sys admin, hardware failure, misconfiguration.

What dustup around end-to-end encryption? I'm only familiar with ProtonMail's IP logging controversy. I was unaware it impacted E2E at all?

This is not a good enough outcome. It's never been about IAP methods. The problem here is that Apple is stopping you from using software on a physical device you own. Very disappointing ruling.

I'm extremely confused by this. Unless you are naive enough to assume that ProtonMail is incapable of logging IP addresses (in which case they'd be incapable of serving HTTP requests...see the problem?) then they can log. And they
