You're using biased language. Rephrasing your point to: "Targeted stealing can be justified. Indiscriminate stealing can not be." or perhaps "Targeted leaking can be justified. Indiscriminate leaking can not be". I

There are always security trade-offs (especially when it comes to ease of use) but until you can show me a better app, which I can get my non-techy friends to use , Signal remains the best option for the mass market.

The article you reference does not say anywhere that Assange was not present. Also, you need a lot of supporting evidence to claim that Assange's lawyer (Jennifer Robinson) would a) lie about her client b) speak without his permission

Not sure why this is upvoted? He's at the Ecuadorian embassy. We know he gave a statement to, and was questioned by, the Swedish prosecutor there this week (as confirmed by his lawyer). It'll be interesting to see if the prosecuto

I think it's still likely that they will vote to invoke Article 50, but the leeway they have is with amendments. E.g. Is there enough support for an amendment requiring the UK to stay in the customs union? Possibly.

If you've been following the case, this was not unexpected. Also the government have already confirmed they will appeal.

For those who don't follow British politics this is very significant. - Invocation of Article 50 is likely to be delayed from Q1 as the legislation will go through parliament and the (hostile) House of Lords. - A 'hard' Brexi

UKIP are not in power and have never been. They have 1 MP out of 650. In answer to your wider point, I think you're reducing the problem to the value of the pound when there are many more factors at play ('sovereignty', borde

What you're describing is a pyramid scheme. Get more and more new people in to pay for those already there. If immigration falls or stop rising you suddenly have a problem. A more robust, sustainable solution is to improve productivity

I think it's commonly agreed that pure functions depend only on their inputs AND cannot have side effects. So when introducing 'Math.random' the function would be impure as it has side effects.

You're attacking strawmen. People are free to believe whether Sweden/Assange have ulterior motives, but either way the Swedish prosecutor has behaved improperly. For example see the UN report here: http://www.ohchr.org&

In a way, I'm surprised I can read this so easily. Do our brains read by converting text to sounds, and then parsing the sounds?

I understand how much I'm influenced which is why I dislike adverts so much.

by agd 10y ago
For me it is the advertising I hate. I really don't want/need adverts in my life. If I want to find about new products or see reviews, I can search them out or read about them in publications I like or ask my friends.

The point is that metadata is more valuable for mass surveillance purposes than content. WhatsApp and FBM do nothing to protect metadata.

by agd 10y ago
It's worth remembering that this does not protect metadata. It's believed (though not known for sure) that WhatsApp logs metadata for their encrypted messages, and it looks like Facebook do the same here. If you want to resist mas

You're attacking a strawman here. I (as stated in my post) don't know whether he is an abuser or not. I was only commenting on how I don't think the orchestrated campaign mentioned is helpful to anyone (including the alleged
