I'm a little suspicious of this. It might be true but something doesn't sit quite right. Where's the full text? Or a scan of the letter. How do we know that this is done by Facebook's legal team? Why only this product and not others like So

If they didn't have so much money then the reason would have been that they were strapped for capital. The nature of successful Kickstarter projects is that they are are solving hard problems. Hard problems are very difficult to estimate an

I can't find the reason in the article, but I'd like to propose that it's because making new things is hard and people are optimists? An interesting comparison would be to know how many projects in general are shipped late. Otherwise it wil

The reason 256 bit AES keys are large enough is that in order to brute-force them, one of 2 things needs to happen: (1) We need to build computers out of something other than matter or (2) A weakness in AES must be discovered that wi

It's very easy for us to look at others and identify their behaviour as stupid. I've always tried to assess it as all people are domain stupid, just like all people are domain smart. By this I mean that everyone has their area (or domain) o

One of the frustrating things for those of us who want to provide a way to limit access to undesirable content for minors is that Google presents the image search in a very opaque way. For example, say that I want to protect a junior school

This will make for an interesting legal argument. The ruling compelled ISPs of a certain size to block access to TPB and the Pirate Party is not an ISP. It would be good for this to go to court to be re-examined given the ineffectiveness of

While I generally support what is being proposed here, Google as a company has a strong interested in "keep[ing] the Internet free and open" for them to sell their products. That doesn't make it wrong, it just means that if this was raised

The court has ordered that they block access. Different ISPs have chosen to block this in different ways. Some drop the DNS, some redirect to their own blocking site. Presumably the Pirate Party will add another option to their TPB proxy to

To anyone reading this, please note that while some of beloch's points are valid, the analysis of AES and the breakability thereof is not. While it's true that at some point it's likely that AES will be broken, it's also true that at some p

When people mock the Facebook share price and question their long-term sustainability, remember that they're in a position that no company has ever been in before. They are trying to monetize personal data that has been provided willingly.

A more meaningful chart would show how the total number of "Personal Computing Platforms" has exploded. How would the chart change if you decided that an old Nokia that supported WAP was also a "Personal Computing Platform"? Also, this come

"Trust" is a big offer. There are 2 main trust issues when I give my contact information to another company: 1) Will they keep as private as I would? and 2) Will they still be around in 5 years? Your model means that I can somewhat believe
