From a security mindset, I was thinking this had made a return: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern_(spyware) I was pleasantly surprised to find out this was something very different.

The backup is secured with "a strong key", implying that all PFS guarantees go out the window regardless of the PFS algorithm used to send the messages in the first place. Signal had great guarantees by how they both enforced a si

They _do_ do that anyway for iCloud. The E2EE support was inherently better, as it significantly reduced the decrypted content exposure to Apple. The uproar over the feature and Apple’s relenting on the implementation resulted in no E2EE as

You don't need FHE to do this – what you're describing is generically a multi-party compute scheme that can be solved by other means. Since you have familiarity with signatures, I'll plant the seed of how this particular MPC

There’s a distinction — see incidents where a state employee refuses to issue a marriage license, and that gets the employee fired. Public defenders do not get the same leeway a non-state provided lawyer has in representing a client.

Seeing the Midwest figures is unsurprising and still disappointing. As someone pitching a startup, the number of big name investors that have asked where I’m calling from and have this look of “why?” or even outright asking it really shows

I'll play ball here. What do you classify intersex people as? Especially those born with either completely mixed gonadal representation or genitalia? Are they neither male nor female? These things are bimodal in distribution, but they
