It difficult to determine causality in these scenarios. Does your company have more female employees because female executives have created a less misogynistic, more welcoming culture? Or does it have more female execs because it has more f

Ok, but by your same logic it also means not a few monopolistic multinational silicon valley companies dominating our digital lives. These companies are already more powerful than many governments.

Note that this article is from July 2016. For example it says: > The wall-builders have already done great damage. Britain seems to be heading for a recession, thanks to the prospect of Brexit. This prediction was wrong. The UK had good

Just because we in the UK have the awful Schedule 7, does not mean it's generally acceptable in Western democracies.

This is nothing to do with the opposition. The political culture of the UK when it comes to security and civil liberties is completely authoritarian on both sides of the house (and in the media). 'Security' trumps all. This is a p

Looks pretty but not quite realistic. Expect the iPhone 8 to be very similar to the Galaxy S8 in design. i.e. no physical home button, curved screen and no bezels at sides but keeping small bezels top and bottom.

Context: the UK government has decided to abandon the single market. Businesses are currently lobbying (very stongly) for this not to happen. That's not to say there's not merit in their arguments, but I would take the figures wit

The question for me is that posed by the hacker who discovered the vulnerability. Here's what he said [1]: "He (Moxie) said: “The choice to make these notifications ‘blocking’ would in some ways make things worse. That would leak

You could send a dummy message for those with blocking turned on and screen it out at the receiving client.

No, even if you have the notification turned on, the message is still resent without your consent.

There's no notification blindness. If a key was changed after a message was sent, then the sender would simply be notified and they could choose to resend using the new key. This is how Signal works.

'As such I think it's unfair to just complain about WhatsApp here.' I disagree. WhatsApp have a known vulnerability which they won't fix (indeed they deliberately added this vuln on top of the Signal protocol), and no de

'Nintendo absolutely killed it' I'm afraid I have to disagree. Here's why: - price: much more expensive than most people were expecting (£280 vs for example, £200 for a PS4 with a game) - battery life: potentially only 2

I'm not sure about Swedish chefs (?) but it's fairly clear that state-sponsored actors are actively involved in trying to manipulate online discourse.

He specifically addressed this. He stated that setting a precendent for proof-of-life via a PGP message is bad and they wanted to avoid doing it. It's bad because it doesn't actually prove anything. He said it is hard to secure PG

He actually went into a rather interesting discussion about what would constitute valid proof of life. His summary is that a combination of the following is useful: - live video where the person can interact with a live feed e.g. reddit - s
