This is an argument against using SMS or phone calls as the second factor, apps like Google Authenticator are still a really great option (as the article states).

I see a large difference in not biting the hand that feeds you and labeling that country as "stand[ing] against human rights violations carried out by the powerful rather than the powerless". It turns his crusade from one which is

It is really quite hard to think of a reason why the US Ambassador to Russia would "[ask] her to relay to Mr Snowden that the US Government does not categorise Mr Snowden as a whistleblower and that he has broken United States law&quot

These nations, including Russia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Ecuador have my gratitude and respect for being the first to stand against human rights violations carried out by the powerful rather than the powerless. Are people reall

To play devil's advocate here, what else would people have Microsoft do? Is there a scenario in which they can successfully resist enabling surveillance features in their products while operating in the US? CALEA applies to telecommuni

Why would Snowden steal four laptops from the US government if not for the data on them? Is the theory that he took them for his own personal usage, rather than taking a personal laptop he already had with him? If so, why four? Also the ide

I think it is highly disingenuous of Greenwald to be angry that a news organization is quoting anonymous sources for their opinion as 1) the original NYT article makes it very clear that it was just an opinion and 2) anonymous sources has

I think you do have to ask yourself what reasons the Russian government would have to not be interested in talking to Snowden as much as they possibly can, and the answer would be there are almost no reasons why it would not be in their s

This would seem to be demonstrably false given the large number of news sources stating that his passport was "revoked", and also given this language on the State Dept website: Passport revocation may be effected when ... the per

The other option is that the slides use ambiguous language.

I don't think this has much to do with the products you use, but rather the jurisdictions you reside in and the laws passed there. No one should "bitch and cry about losing your rights and privacy" - they should be lobbying t

Could it be that rather than a distinction between the big airlines and the small airlines, the author was attempting to make a distinction between flights with large amounts of passengers (100-200+) and flights of smaller size (50ish)? I t

But why is an advertising company deserve more skepticism than a company that sells operating systems or database servers?

In this context it reads as highly dismissive.

They are only doing 6k writes a second for crying out loud. And 600k reads per second (as of when this article was written), which seems like an important thing to leave out.

They are making a tradeoff between cost of reading your timeline and cost of a write at tweet-time to optimize the former.

Think of it this way - when was the last crash or accident involving a major jet in the US? It's been over a decade.

I believe recent car models, or at least luxury ones, are designed to eject the engine as a safety feature. An engine projected into the cabin sound quite lethal.
