Solution to what? Crime has been falling for decades, and if law enforcement can't spy on communication quite as easily as it used to, the increase of other surveillance more than makes up for it. They are crying about "going da

There's no reason the setup has to be any more complicated - it could work exactly as it does currently, only with the option of pointing it at your own server, instead of Amazon's, or even keep using Amazon's server, but end

Sure I have issues - but these are murder investigations. Keeping track of who might be associated with the victim is the bare minimum of investigating. Giving this data to others as part of a background check is a whole different matter.

Sorry, I phrased myself poorly - in this case, the inputs that give incorrect output aren't very special, as opposed to 0,1,INT_MAX,... Although including numbers such as 10^N - 1 isn't out of the question either.

Can said information include everything gleaned from Google searches and pages with Google analytics? I.e. a full browsing history?

Would QuickCheck know to try 999999 as input? Most of the possible inputs would give correct results, and those that don't, aren't very 'special', such as 0,1,-1,MAX_INT, and so on.
