I grew up in a eastern bloc country, and what the GP says is spot-on. This is not stereotyping, this is how it was. I still have nightmares about queueing for cheese alone as a little boy (my grandma was queueing somewhere else for soy-base

What would you expect it to do? How is it supposed to know what you want if you don't provide it with the exact search terms? Shouldn't it do partial matches if there are no full matches ?

Watching my kid learn to speak made it clear to me that we are pre-wired for the acquisition of language - we're not building the structures from scratch, we are learning to put words into the empty spaces. Probably natural evolution a

But it's the same thing - the threat model described is not safeguarded by end to end encryption when the encryption device itself is compromised. "secure as practically possible" depends a lot on what practically means, and

So your threat model is a sovereign state able to subpoena cloud data. Under this model, if Google gets a court order to root-break a specific phone (push malicious update), they will be forced to, and that's all the legal framework ne
