Kenton, thanks for all of the work you and your contributors do on sandstorm.io; I have referred this project to many people wanting to get their feet wet "running a server" as a way to do something without instantly cutting yours

If that's the case, Roger Dingledine is probably the one that should become a non-US person, given he is still leading the technical side of things from what I can see. He could be NSL'd just the same. At the end of the day, Tor i

I agree with you 100% that Tor has its problems, and that it is a research project. It is not, and I do not believe it is, a panacea for strong anonymity on the web, and it is not intended to provide protection against a lot of things peopl

Ack. If you need bindings in iOS, just use libsodium? As far as I am concerned, everything about this is a little scary. Some guy like tptacek will come in here and school me (please do, senpai), but even a crypto novice* like me can see th

I feel as you do. As much as I am loathe to accept anything coming out of one of these organizations as an open-source project, I think it may actually do us more harm than good by attacking this project out of protest for the way they use

It is hard for me to come up with a better strategy for a Tor executive director, than to hire someone who is both a proven electronic civil liberties activist and a competent attorney to lead a project that has already been feeling the h

Assuming Turn2U Inc is legitimate, I'd gladly offer some of my time to work on programs like this as well.

What about anything else where you are paying for the experience? While not a perfect analogy, Walt Disney World comes to mind: it's a place you take your family, and you are subject to potentially spending tens of thousands of dollars

I'm quickly understanding that I need to learn to be more specific as to what the premise of my statement is before I comment here. I agree with your point as to fixing all holes; I was making the point more toward people freaking out

Given Drupal's highly-modular architecture, React and a manager like Redux makes the most sense IMO. Building the Drupal module frontend as React Components seems like it would be easy to add on as a toggleable layer. You push state in

I don't think that is his point; that's not what Harley does, at all. H-D markets themselves as a "lifestyle brand". You don't just buy a motorcycle and you're done. You are aggressively marketed toward for a b

I don't believe that the original author is making the argument that "marketers sometimes do shady things with data." From its title and lede to the end, I read it as "some of these games are manipulative and use manipul

On one hand, I am happy that Telegram exists; its founding story, homebrew crypto, cute marketing and "not-American" position has made it a shit magnet for a lot of people that don't know what makes things secure, and are con

Avast is not the only antivirus program that does that these days; ESET does it, and Symantec's Norton products do as well IIRC. As everything moves toward TLS, this is pretty much a required step on the client for "Internet Secur

Well, it's good to know that I basically got it right. I don't work in incident response, so I had to make an educated guess at what signatures I'd assume IR people would use to respectably say "this is a nation-state.&q

Attribution is generally hard in these types of things, and some guy with IR experience can probably explain more than I can. However, some of these attack groups follow specific patterns, use specific IP addresses, domains, emails, etc. be

It seems that working publicly on information privacy tools (and especially the Tor Project) increasingly makes you a target for nation-state-level adversaries. I'm very curious who the actor was, and what they expected to gain of valu

If there is one place in the American government where "checks and balances" have become a farce, it is in the sheer amount of things the executive branch can get away with by EO. I will be very interested to see what, if any, eff

I think there is a distinction to be made between surveillance and data, and I do not necessarily think you need to go full cypherpunk to make a meaningful difference. The cat is well out of the bag on data collection and analytics and it w

It might be best, then, to speak to a psychiatrist versus a therapist, if therapy is not working well for you, especially with an ADD diagnosis.
