I apologize for not directly answering your question--I don't have any knowledge or opinion about what to expect from big companies--but I want to say that I consider it a minor miracle that I didn't serve time for various ultimat

I welcome being put on a list, if it happens. I want to be part of this conflict. Something is happening now, and we need to keep pushing.

A page like this might be really useful, but it's very difficult for it to tell the whole story, and the story is always changing. In my experience, China's government uses many methods to sabotage the Internet, and the methods us

I very much prefer for emails to contain text only, or with HTML only as attachments, and it has absolutely zero to do with any desire to show off to other people. For me, it's all about keeping some control over technology. I tell a v

I'm American, and lived in China for two years. It's common to see things on the street that you don't understand, even for natives, and it's not prudent to take what you're seeing at face value. There are lots of s

I agree 100%. This is, I think, and underappreciated aspect of language study. Chinese people speak Mandarin with accents, so they're not irritated to hear my accent.

It's one of my shortcomings that I just cannot get into the mindset of an FBI agent who is happy about this. How do you keep wanting to go to work and investigating this kind of thing?

You seem to be assuming that the allegations are true. The understanding that most people have had is that DPR is a pure freedom fighter. If you take away those allegations, all that's left are fake "crimes" that aren't

If DPR actually paid to have someone killed, it would surprise everyone who knew anything about him. He's thought to be a libertarian and totally against the use of force.

The issue is, the SSH server is many tens of thousands of lines and extremely complex, while a port-knocking implementation might be a few hundred lines and very easy to audit. It's much easier to be certain that the simple one is bug

For now, we need to stop thinking and talking like this. This race is lost. The government is ready to record everything, but we are not ready to encrypt everything. It's not enough to protect yourself, even if you could. You are not O

There's a lot of scary stuff they can do. I'm sure I'm not devious enough to think of most of it. If they have years worth of emails you wrote in your normal style to friends and colleagues, it may be hard to write anything o

Thanks for doing this! I don't know what to expect, but it's nice to have the cameras rolling.

Author is the putz, not Snowden. It's not attention whoring to show yourself, say who you are, and tell the truth. Nobody "blew it". This fire is still burning and I hope it will just keep growing until we've burned out

tokenadult isn't saying the US is perfect. He knows China better than most. In China, these kinds of projects are riddled with corruption. They're practically for theft primarily, and only secondarily for whatever their stated p

It wasn't. I agree there's a little bit of wrongness to that, but I hope his parent post won't mind too much, because there's a lot of truth to his point. Often we get more information like this, a fuller understanding o

This is one of the reactions that always comes out on this kind of story. Yes, the department of killer zombies is just doing its job, eating peoples' brains. But I'm starting to think maybe we shouldn't have a department of

He said in the original interview with Greenwald that he felt that since he was breaking the law, he owed it to Americans to explain why. The way he's done it, he's the very definition of a whistleblower.

I know just what you mean. I lived in China and felt the same kind of shame when the US government or other Americans did wrong, even though it had little to do with me. Chinese people understood immediately when I said the US government do

Not to thread hijack, but my dad is interested in genealogy. He turned up a letter written in 1883 from a relative to his sons who had just left home for school. I found his language really interesting, so I transcribed it. One part I liked

You're right, but it's not that simple. HK people don't like to speak Mandarin, and don't like the mainland. It's normal in HK for there to be public demonstrations that would be unthinkable on the mainland.

You said that Wikileaks was all about stroking Assange's ego. I called you on that. I'm sorry if I came off badly, but I keep seeing this idea and I never see it substantiated with anything. He's an attention whore because he

Again with this junk. He hardly mentions himself. He's relentless on the most crucial issues of humanity. Nobody's done more for the world lately, but you use your psychic powers to find some supposed flaw. It's like hating t

I think Snowden and/or Wikileaks would have thought of that before leaving HK. If the Russians have anything, it's encrypted blobs.

Don't chicken out. It'd be a rare opportunity to do something good and strike back at the people who make this world a lot worse than it needs to be. Drake did the right thing, and although he was badly harmed, he doesn't reg
