   Thanks, but I don't want to pay for two SIMs/plans. Edit: I'd also prefer not to have to remember to carry two devices.

   Yes, we lost something as soon as applications could start doing things without explicit instruction from the machine's owner. Limited technology (pre-HDD) accidentally gave us privacy (data on disconnected floppy disks) and security (

   Autossh is great, I use it all the time. I use "@reboot" in a non-privileged user's cron to start them.

   As a Brit, I hope it forces some EU changes and a new referendum. Largely because Scotland will leave the UK if the UK leaves the EU.

   Thanks, I like the idea of making an embeddable playback widget for other people's web sites. The point was to be able to visualise chunks of CSV time/position data - being able to publish those visualisations may be a useful feat

   I'm considering spending some more time on this to refactor the code and add a couple of new features. I want to find out whether such a tool is of use to anyone else, before spending further hours. I am open to feature requests.

    That makes sense, but any malicious service could pretend that a particular telno was a user of the service, in order to see which users had that contact. I'm assuming the objective is to minimise the service's unnecessary knowled

    Good catch. This is a weakness, but it may not be relevant to WhisperSystems' use case. If you provide an L0 with numbers whose hashes end with '1' (hex), and I don't request L1/..1 shard, then you learn that I don

    I am looking forward to using an 8GB RAM 8-core 64-bit ARM phone with 2560x1440 HDMI, running Ubuntu desktop as my main PC in a year or two. Currently only the quantity of phone RAM and the display resolution are hardware issues.
