Seems like it - when i posted my comment the post had 3 points and mine was the only comment. Good to see that it eventually sparked some interesting conversation!

Ah, that makes sense; I read GPs phrase the other way.

Shouldn't that yield the inverse effect?

Would be good with some context on motivation and impact. Some of these are specific to x86, for example.

Apart from the surveillance aspect, one thing that bothered the hell out of me with Cloudflare using ReCAPTCHA was that it yielded a much larger part of the web than necessary effectively blocked in China, since the CAPTCHAs would get trigg

See, this is the one complicating factor for L7 E2E, and I think you make a compelling case; you pretty much need open source/reproducible builds to be able to have any kind of protection against leaking PIIs over encrypted channels. I

I have not heard this be a factor when people get mortgages or loans. So "because it doesn't matter". But apparently in the UK it does! So if I understand right, not having a history of debt can be a problem when getting a mo

Unfortunately, no. Cash is effectively getting phased out in Sweden; these days, there are more physical shops denying cash than accepting it. Trying to make either a deposit or a withdrawal of "large sums" (> ~1K USD equivalen

I'm curious if there's anywhere else outside the US where "building your credit rating" by accumulating debt history from e.g. credit cards is a thing and makes a difference. I haven't heard it mentioned as a US-spe

It seems you are conflating transport encryption with encryption at rest. I can not imagine a scenario where encrypted end-to-end transit can "bite" you as there is no recovery scenario apart from snooping network operators/a

I think this can hold in any country today, regardless of how developed you consider it to be. Slums not necessary. Less true in smaller countries like Iceland or the Vatican, of course, but I think this has way more to do with population s

Zoom claiming it's compliant has nothing to do with it actually being compliant.

France has actually been the worst for me spam-call-wise - used to get daily calls until recently. I think it comes down to chance (handing over your cell to the wrong hairdresser/gym/restaurant/online shop/whatever) and

I also think there's something to be said for not putting Twitter - or any other company - in that position in the first place. We need to put more concerted resources into building decentralized alternatives. https://scuttl

While I am quite concerned with people who take unnecessary risk and ignore restrictions, there're quite a few people who take this to mind-boggling extremes. The biggest "Expats in Paris" FB group had the admin do a long ran

If anything, it's remarkable that US wasn't already banned together with Schengen countries last week.

Do you have a source to back that up? As far as I understand it, Microsoft has no responsibility for PIIs e-mails going through the Outlook e-mail client. Maybe the US is different, but at least in Europe, the GDPR is clear that software ve

And I didn’t say or imply I downvoted you. Do you think people downvote for fun? It’s not like your question was rhetorical right (Sorry I’m going to stop being obnoxious now, hope you understand why it’s easy to read your comment as such!)

I worded that poorly. How about this: If you don't own, manage, solicit or control any servers having access to PHI or PII you don't have any risk of being liable. Put all of that on the client, do your best to protect it but ult

The GP is easy to interpret as justifying or excusing the behavior. Something being profitable doesn't suddenly make it OK.

Personally, I'd want to have the source and run that software myself - how else could I trust that the app developer didn't bribe you or find an easy way to subvert your detection?

If you don't store any data you won't need any lawyers. You don't need to store a single byte of data on your users or customers to provide a service or software using that data.

You can develop all of these services, just don't hoard data. With no centralized serverside database you have no liabilities. P2P is a solved problem. Better implementations of that is exactly the kind of innovation we need now.

Honestly, I was (perhaps part knowingly) uninformed and ignorant until the spread outside of China started making the news, so nothing worth noting until the past 4 weeks or so. Yourself?
