It's interesting that all the work being done on this "secure" phone is being done on non-secure hardware and networks. Presumably if interested parties think this is a threat, they can access all comms/data about this

I read a story (or a post?) a while back of how a guy used TaskRabbit.com (I guess you could get a group of your friends to do the same) to go to local flea markets and scope it out. If you find it, you might be able to either buy it back o

When it comes to econ-related issues, he's worth reading--at least it's interesting. For non-econ-related issues, not so much. This quote from 1985: "The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in 'Met

I'm continually astonished by the number of HN posts on what the best tool to do something is. The reality is that there are often different tools for different needs and there need NOT be just one tool to rule them all. I find that I

"Germany is no different than France is no different from the US is no different than China etc. etc" What evidence do you have of this? I'm highly suspicious of the fact that the German and French governments are spying on t

A reasonable sample is a function of the size of the overall population. Assuming you're talking a few million visitors in some fixed period of time, at 500 comments, you're still a little ways off from a 95 percent confidence int

What a piece of crap link-bait. The actual title of the article should have been the last sentence of her piece: "Having a servant you cannot pay a decent wage cannot be a birthright".

If "non-US entities" includes businesses outside the US as well, I'd agree. Revelations recently [1] that the spying went beyond countries/heads of state. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that companies were being

What are you saying? That because Snowden didn't have an extension to his own bloodline that it was easy for himself to come forward and blow the whistle?

Ugh. Really? It feels slow and is painful to use.

Sadly, I think that when Snowden isn't a (tech) house-hold name any more, he'll disapear one day in some common house-hold accident.

I don't know. I don't think NSA & Co. give a crap! I think they think a lot along these lines: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt

I don't know if Clapper was under oath at the time, but if he was, isn't lying to Congress a crime? Edit: Actually read the Forbes article and it states that Clapper was under oath when responding to Sen Wyden's questions.

I'm reading this right now (in my 30's) and LOVING it! It's a hefty read, but the story--though I've heard the story before, seen movies, etc.--is so great it's fantastic.

It might be foolhardy to assume that BTC transactions are anonymous, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY difficult to figure out who was involved.
