If they have "absolutely no qualifications to implement cryptography" then they are doing an insanely amazing job since such few vulnerabilities were found. All that other crap of russia, censorship, reddit threads, russia, cult

I'm guessing a "pet politician" is a very American Thing -though I have nothing to base it on but my own opinion- since US politics are very much based on specific persons while I'm used to people looking at politics as

How is this different than outside Google? Unless they misuse access to information from Google it sounds like ordinary life in the US.

I have done web-development both in the bad IE days but also recently and IMO it wasn't as bad to develop for IE as it is for Safari today. Safari is broken in strange and random ways and missing odd features and is a moving target (an

Are you saying German sites doesn't follow the law (only freely given consent is legal)?

Sure, but having engineering knowledge doesn't make you an engineer just like having medical knowledge doesn't make you a doctor.

>if other engineers said he's an engineer Nonsense! Engineer is an education, not a job title. It's no different than Musk calling himself Doctor. He either went to school for years to become an engineer or he isn't one.

by Dah00n 5y ago
Why do you need someone who worked with him to attast it? Engineer is something you go to school to become, not something you become because you have money or workers. Either he have an education as an engineer or he isn't an engineer.

How do you know the punishment doesn't fit the crime when the case is a thought experiment at most? Or are you saying that because it would be a criminal case it is too much no matter what? It makes no sense to me that it is too much j

Well, I don't assume either really but I guess GP does. I find it unlikely to the extreme that Google would ever want to scan this content or even less so that they would go to lengths to decrypt it first. But saying that all is lost i

As far as I know they don't but for arguments sake let's say that they do. A lot of smart people have worked on Gmail so any scanning of mails would be for useful metadata or if they scan all the text it would be to provide servic

Well, they have a better voting track record than the US vis-à-vis citizens vs politicians, so I guess the answer world be No if the US is authoritarian but Yes if it is democratic.

Yes. Saying otherwise is hyperbolic. The European Commission uses and recommends Signal themselves. https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observato...

Sounds like the US when you mention parallel construction but since the laws are way way worse than this one in the states I'm guessing it is somewhere else?

I'm amazed any HN readers could believe Google would want to know what is stored if they could actually read it. That is completely useless to them. What is interesting and useful is who is connecting from where, when, with what. Yet
