How will you prove what I possess is encrypted data and not random bits?

Wouldn't putting a bunch of metal in a microwave be risky? I'm picturing something exploding and sending shards of glass into bystanders. (Then again, a 4 Lions moment where an intrepid terrorist slits his own throat with a molten

I really hate this "going dark" narrative. They can track his purchases via his debit card, his movements via CCTV + cell tower records, intercept his emails... but there's one bit of his digital life that's inaccessible

Is endless innovation desirable? I have an iPhone 6s. I like it. I'd like to see longer battery life and higher storage capacity in future models, but otherwise it's a good phone. I don't want it thinner - in fact, I'd b

Define "civilization". I could see a return to the dark ages (or at least, pre-electricity civilization) as totally possible.)

Do most libraries post this policy publicly?

So basically the installability of Linux circa 2003, but with the bonus that security updates might brick my system?

It's my understanding you can't deploy HTTPS on a github hosted Jeckyll site that's using - has that changed? (To clarify: https:github.com/shitpostingblog, but https://shitbpostingblog.xyz is not)

How long does a typical library retain records after a book is returned?

Recall anything else? Even something as simple as the state, MO of the killer, etc?

I've had good luck with Bing, so now I use that as my fallback. But honestly, simply forumulating a query appropraiately can help. Pagerank basically lets you use search terms like circles on a Venn diagram - whatever's in the int

Are there any statues in the US (where DDG is based) that would compel them to keep logs? I find it hard to believe there are not.

* Facebook is not "unregulated" - the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission both regulate it. The latter has taken multiple interventions, and will probably continue to do so in the future. * Facebook

One thing no one seems to talk about: a large chunk of the Uber drivers I've encountered are also Lyft drivers. If large chunks of people ditch Uber, Lyft could stand to grab the lion's share of the market.

I wonder if it's legal in that location to shoot someone committing theft under cover of darkness...

So for anyone else intending to do an anonymous live stream, doing the shoot indoors (insulated from outside noises such as a 4channer driving around in a truck honking their horn) would probably allow for an uninterrupted stream.

Not a cryptographer, so this may be harebrained: Would someone who has access to all 4 hashes be more able to crack said hashes than if they only stored one? (Or would they salt each hash with a different salt to negate this?)

Doubtful. Part of being an undercover operative means deniability. Imagine if a foreign power arrested a suspected spy, and found non-standard software on their phone. So they'd probably use off the shelf software and mitigate risks in

The problem is that there are very few IT systems that are purely foreign. For example, if the CIA finds an exploit in a wireless router made in China and sold all over the world, that hole can also be found by others and used against targe

It's relatively easy to use regular expressions to strip that out though. I set up a catch all for my domain, and give each entity it's own unique addy to guard against this.

When I signed up for a major grocery store rewards card, I was able to put a bogus name on the form. How can they correlate my purchases with me specifically? Can they correlate the charges to my credit card with the times the rewards card

So a journalist should use a dumbphone, where every text and call is transmitted in the clear, and the contents of the address book is stored unencrypted, rather than buy an iPhone and leave it at home when attending sensitive meetings?

They seem to want it both ways: when an ad causes serious consternation in the press, they pull it because "we've a private site and can regulate speech". But if there isn't sufficient controversy, they can hide behind t

It may have been random. I'm pretty sure they pick a small # of people to do these do regardless of what intelligence says.

Any word on whether it can tether? Dumbphone + tethered netbook could be a killer combo.

I know a couple Japanese citizens who chose to come to the US and work IT in a large research university for this reason. (They got about the same as they would have in Tokyo, but were living in a low cost area of the US and had a 40 hour w

That's not true. If you attribute what you say "X said", then X is guilty of slander/libel. (YMMV in England)

Amsterdam has an amazing public transit system... plus you can basically walk from one end to the other.
