I think it's amusing that the author does not think iPhones are a fashion statement. :)

So for those of us who don't have a Facebook account and refuse to create one, this means our employer can force us to sign up?

Privacy isn't a binary. Neither is secrecy. It's a function of relationships. So the question isn't whether children have privacy, but against whom are they able to be private, in what regard? While I'm generally ok with

While Facebook gets props for their astonishingly clever .onion address, it seems rather odd to promote unlinkability while continuing to enforce their legal names policy. I'd probably respect this a lot more if it was accompanied by s

I'm kind of sad the author didn't touch on key signing at all. The trust levels are basically meaningless. What does it mean to trust someone more than someone else? If doing a request to get someone's key exposes your social

It's worth noting that in addition to being the author of the Wired story that originally leaked news about the Bluffdale, Utah facility, James Bamford also wrote the Puzzle Palace, which IIRC is the first book ever published about the

Ok. Kodak wasn't really disrupted so much as its market base moved to digital cameras. I suppose you can claim that retail has been disrupted by online markets like Amazon, but (to take an example) there were a lot of reports that Bord

I love how this is posted on facebook.com and not internet.org.

That's valid, but I highly doubt 35% of Americans have jobs like bank tellers or casino employees.

How exactly are people supposed to pay their debt if they can't get a job because they have debt? An employer doing a criminal background check makes sense, a credit check far less so.

I helped set the presentation up. Jitsi is actually the ideal choice, but it's too unstable for something like this. Google Hangouts was used at Snowden's request.

Surely there were discussions which lead to the names policy, as well as more discussions that lead to the repeal of it? I have a hard time believing that a single person at Google (Vic) would be given so much free reign to make policy chan

Vic has been particularly offensive about this. The restaurant analogy comes to mind. He also stonewalled for a long time, was kind of a dick about it, and refused to budge when presented with evidence. If something magically made him chang

by aestetix 12y ago
I won't believe that unless Vic can prove it. edit: I'm being downvoted, but remember that Vic is the one who pushed the names policy in the first place.

It's worth pointing out that it's hard to have any kind of non-shallow discussion when you're limited to 140 characters. They will inevitable turn to disagreement, lack of context, and flame wars.

I am curious whether this would have happened if Eich were still the CEO.
