Phone is no better than email. Security through a physical object that can run out of battery, be stolen, have no signal, cost money to have service, offers no cryptography while being under mass surveillance across the world, etc.

This is quite a stupid idea. How exactly am I supposed to log into my passwordless email to check the email containing the code to get into my email ? The assumption that "the ability to send an email or SMS to users reliably and quic

Different browsers have different default values, a css reset is there to remove those inconsistencies allowing a fresh and sane starting point. check this page for more info and an example of a css reset: http://meyerweb.com&#x

You're supposed not to drink water from a plastic bottle which has been exposed for some time to the sun.

"this" obviously means going public public about stopping the storage of data and deleting existing logs. "shit" probably means retribution of some kind for exposing them as being part of the surveillance apparatus and n

A moderation team catching a criminal act while it is happening is certainly not the same as storing everybody's IP address for up to 2 years so third parties can access it.

I'm not sure you have to build and own your own fiber network to start an ISP, actually there's a trend of people making their own ISP and they report that it's not that hard: "Y U NO ISP, taking back the Net [30c3]&quot

From the methods facebook used, I assumed those existed long before they've surfaced to the public so I blocked all thing facebook from my network early on, like buttons and facebook login never had the opportunity to track me as they&

Facebook sucks, it's a fact. Privacy is a building block for freedom and being robbed of the ability of being free sucks. Say you have a friend anywhere on earth but he/she doesn't have a facebook account, how exactly is face

Say what ? holy war between of iOS vs Android ? irrelevant! Smartphones are a huge privacy liability whether apple, google or other. facebook is another mega huge privacy liability. Why google avoided implementing sane privacy control in an

I agree with you, SMS is a much private matter, but you're sadly mistaken. SMS are not encrypted nor secure communication. Your carrier can read them, and so do the relevant part of the corporate surveillance apparatus along with all y

Sorry to split hair but until 1998 GiB didn't exist and GB were indeed 2³⁰ so it's wrong to say GB are now 10⁹ because of a decision of the BIPM from 1960. GB are 10⁹ because in accordance with its mission the IEC made them so in

Good question, especially when the linked post is wrong, or at least poorly written. >Because in 1960, the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures decided that the SI prefix G- meant 10^9. This is wrong. The switch from GB to GiB happe

I disagree. First, the human mind is not that good at dealing with decimal and numbers between 0 and 1. My car is rated 4.5l / 100 km, which is easier to deal with than 0.045l / km. For a simple calculation, say 5km, what the eas

From a European point of view it seem obvious that the gallons per mile trick is a small but effective cog in the larger US automobile conspiracy going on for decades. From the destruction of public transportation[1] to the many billions of

AFAIK, MPG is not used anywhere in the world but in one country where people don't even grasp the beginning of it. MPG is actually quite useless to do range estimates. If you got n gallons you could possibly maybe travel more or less m

How is that specific to facebook ? Also this looks a lot like what OP did which failed to be even close to be as succesful as search engine ads.

Interesting post but it's hardly news, a few years back when facebook was struggling to make money I remember reading a detailed article about how facebook delving into advertisement could mean the end of the web as we know it and by t
