The world is so full of data which updates in real-time. I hope Firebase focuses on publishing more data representing things in the real world that people can build on (using their API's, of course).

Also a bit strange that he went from Germany to Brazil via the UK, and was allegedly carrying documents, which seems harder than sending encrypted files over the internet. Even if journalists aren't themselves technical, surely the Gua

I would be very surprised if what would clearly become a high-profile detainment wasn't choreographed ahead of time to the minute, the possible routes of questioning prepared, and the timing and contents of the phone call thought throu

The intent was quite likely to intimidate other journalists, whistle blowers, or just people in a position to help them. It could also have been to make more public that Greenwald has a younger gay Brazilian partner, something we gloss over

Wow, no kidding. Why the heck could it need "Administrator level account permissions" (both on OSX and Windows [1])? I guess you could run it in a VM and wipe it afterwards. 1. https://www.examsoft.com/dotnet/

If you had Google's certificate private key, you can pretend to be Google. It's undetectable from the user's perspective. I think we should trust Google to keep their private keys safe, although it would help a lot if the pub
