I mean, if you’re trying to defend against a coordinate government attack, you’re boned anyway. They’ll just break into your house and install a sniffer, or arrest you, or make your life hell. That’s assuming they can’t just get into your h

So? What if the VPN doesn’t know who you are? What if it’s your own VPN but others don’t know that? The entire point of choosing a good VPN is to get the visible data off of your immediate ISP, since they know who you are, and into a more n

Maybe instead of relying on humans to suddently act differently than they ever have in thousands of years, we could just remove the stupid link. I mean, listen to yourself. Rather than an easy, technical solution, for a very limited and wel

I mean, it sounds like people have been confidently predicting the demise of academia for 25 years, and it has yet to happen. And I don’t know about you but it certainly seems like we have still been exponentiall since 94.

The article is hyperbolic in the extreme. Reporter got ahold of a poorly phrased email from a manufacturing manager who lost their shit (which happens every time their production floors even so much as pass gas) over something they didn&#x2

There _are_ incremental improvements, in the form of 5 gamma ray, 6 x-ray, 5 UV, and 4 visible satellites. Actually, there are more than that since Hubble went up. Unfortunately there are real physical limits to visible light telescopes, an

Completely agree. Well, tf.contrib I am usually happy with the docs and a glance through GitHub issues, but, yes, code found elsewhere for very new, or even just recent papers can be really hit or miss, and not always obviously so. There is

I hear this sentiment a lot lately, and I do not agree with it at all, you're basically just hand-waving the issue away and retroactively deciding what is a real world, practical problem or not after we've already found a solution

They are referring to Genetic Algorithms. There was a theory called the "building block hypothesis" but no one could prove it (turned out it was impossible to prove). The field was sort of run on hand waving for several decades.

by Cacti 9y ago
Yep. The original wave of genetic algorithms largely depended on some hand-wavy "building block" ideas that no one could really prove. It turned out that it was because proving them is impossible in the general sense, as we found

I’m sorry, what quagmire? Most people either aren’t aware of the privacy issues or if they are don’t care. People like using Facebook, or at least are addicted to it.

From the court case, In particular, the national courts had failed to determine whether the applicant had received prior notice from his employer of the possibility that his communications might be monitored; nor had they had regard either

Why do you feel the need to defend Slack? It was their decision to do this to ensure they wouldn’t be forced out of the corporate market ($$$$$) and, I hate to break it to you, US and EU law are very similar in this regard. Corporations in

I mean, it sounds more like people are upset because they are embarrassed how they acted in DMs, or said things they shouldn’t have about their colleagues, and now are worried someone will see that. It doesn’t sound accidental, but that the

It is very odd. We've had corporate monitoring of practically all employee electronic activities for decades. It's enshrined in legislation and tested in case law. The capabilities are built into practically every major business s

Don't you think some companies need the ability to investigate things their employees are doing for the specific purpose of bringing it to the attention of government agencies PRIOR to warrants being issued and PRIOR to pissing off the

You're missing the point. You don't actively monitor it, you record it so that later you can go back and review those conversations in the event you are required to by law. I don't know where you've worked, but this stan

I mean, how do you think your email is handled? Your internet traffic? This stuff has been monitored and recorded by companies for decades, why would Slack be any different?

And what if the issue is two employees are using Slack to discuss using a competitors proprietary information on a contract proposal? Or two employees are discussing how to arrange the books so that they don't receive margin calls whil

Hey, don't let the door hit yourself on the way out. There are very valid legal reasons for a business to need at least the option for discovery, e.g., legal suits, fraud, violation of trade secret or export controls, serious employee

Yes it is atypical. Have you tried looking through the github issues on the subject? There seem to be a number of possibilities, depending on your environment.
