I would counter that the real state secret is that the threat of global conflict in this day and age has dimished but the cold war mentality has persisted. Furthermore, people don't care about privacy and are willing to trade liberty f

If this turns out to be true and functional then the ramifications will be incredibly interesting. The flow of currency in the Muslim world is under constant scrutiny so I wonder how governments will react to the notion of an online, encryp

Well when you see whats on US TV and what people are protesting about on the streets then it certainly feels that way.

The website is clean and interesting but what do you get out of it? I mean are you going to have a sign up fee or ask for a cut of the product? Unless its purely autristic which would be honorable of you.

Its auspicious that this post came up towards the end of Ramadan, when Muslims fast for thirty days or so. That being said, they break their fast each night so its not a continual solid fast. They do go without food and water though, intere

Just assume anything that you type is public. Thats to say, even if you don't post it online the physical manifestation of you typing on a keyboard may not be secure.

Never underestimate an entities willingness to engage in blatant hypocrisy if they believe they can benefit out of it.

Im always cautious about these systems which are labeled as secure but don't provide any details as to how they're secured. Id love to throw my account in and see what it has to show but im cautious.

I think the problem is the fact that pharmaeutial companies are trying to turn a profit to ensure their survival. If you invest a billion dollars in a new drug (which is the average cost these days) and its a flop, are you going to adverise

What do you mean? The internet will still be able to execute the same functions the only difference is that users will be less likely to release their private information with as much trust. Unless I misunderstood your point.

I'll be facetious when I say this but the next big thing might be common sense and the realisation that once you release data ino the open (i.e onto the internet), you lose control of who access it and whats done with it.

In such a hypothetical scenario would the police then be required to return the cocaine? Furthermore, would the owners of the cocaine be expemt from future prosecution. I mean, whats stopping the police from tailing them and waiting a few w

Would you also vote against the 2nd Ammendment? That would probably save a lot more than 2000 lives.

Not Dutch but I have lived in a few places around the world and never assume I have any privacy, unfortunately. Im sure any HN readers from the Middle East, Eastern Europe or Asia would probably know the feeling.

I had this strange thought occur half way through the article. The US government is storing, analysing and recording all internal electronic transmissions so that US civilians can be protected from external aggressors. Doesn't that the

I think non-violent protests only work when the state (or entity you are protesting against) is forced to negotiate. By that I mean all these non violent protests occured at a time during violent protests. Martin Luther King Jnr was given n

Why do you want to intern? You're young and at university still, this is the perfect time to start up your own company. Its nearly winter in Melbourne too, perfect for locking yourself away and working for yourself rather than others.

I guess it depends on what you're looking for out of all this. If you're just trying to create a product so that you can offload it down the line then maybe you should question your initial intentions, there are other ways of making money a
