I think in general "encrypted email" refers to end-to-end encrypted email which of course does not have that problem.

I think it is inaccurate. The concerns of lavabit and silent circle seemed to be about unencrypted email.

"the way the Iranian most likely got control over a US drone" That is a very bold claim which I believe requires far more citation than you have provided. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93U.S._RQ-1

I imagine if signal was jammed and only C/A codes were rebroadcast the drone would use those instead of nothing. edit: Assuming that navigation was relying only on GPS

Yes, but it would protect against passive surveillance.

Unless you are trying to argue that we are incorrectly using the word pedophile, I don't think that study[1] is relevant to this discussion. It is a comparison of recidivism between child molesters, some of whom meet certain criteria for 'p

Middle line and balance? If it would have become public record at trial, it should become so now. How can one argue that Aaron's death should cause less detail of the prosecution to be made available?

Moxie demonstrated sslstrip on Tor exit nodes. It will not work on hidden services as the address contains a hash of the server's public key.

I empathize with your position, but I don't think it is fair to paint such a negative picture when the reality is, at worst, much less offensive.

I'd be interested to know what kind of speed gains HN got from SPDY. I'd guess very low as there aren't many requests (per page load) to multiplex.

D-Wave has a history of 'exaggeration'. I'd take anything they say with a grain of salt.

Even if every transaction has a new address, you have to get BTC in to the wallet somehow, and the most common method to do this is to buy BTC online with a credit card. You could buy BTC with cash of course, but then why not just send the

I thought the Gentry method solved the problem of enormous cyphertexts (via 'bootstrapping') while still preserving addition and multiplication operations. Is that not true?
