I honestly don't even think you know what I'd be wrong about, since you said you don't know the meaning of the comment you disagreed with.

Whoa, WikiLeaks doesn't have control over the quality/veracity of the information leaked to it. If an email is added by the people who submit the leak, there's simply no way to verify that. They're not journalists, they

I suspect they've disabled it, or somehow changed it to a more manual process, e.g. phone call or physical meeting.

How important is Assange, himself, to WikiLeaks? If he's critical to its operating capabilities, why?

Thanks for catching my mistake, I was referring to the first link when I said it "requires the prior knowledge of a bug hit rate". I think you've misread the report, as there weren't independent groups, it was two people

His view is not correct, nor are the links you've provided directly relevant to this discussion. The "German Tank Problem" requires knowledge of variables that aren't present in the VeraCrypt security audit. In fact,

I don't think you're understanding the conversation that's going on, and I do find it boring to re-state things I've already written.

You are not correctly restating what I've said. I never said "Officers" wouldn't/couldn't be arrested or prosecuted. I also never said there was case law preventing the DoJ from prosecuting "Officers&quot

I'm saddened how you'd rather end conversation than change your beliefs.

Your analogy isn't relevant to this conversation.

It doesn't matter what I think, it matters what can be supported by evidence, and your emotional narrative aside, the number of bugs found in a piece of software does not indicate there are more bugs to be found. You did make the a

I didn't say it was irrelevant, I used the word "ignorant". We can substitute the word with "maliciously manipulative" or "intellectually dishonest" if you'd prefer.

Except for the critical fact that she was never found to have violated any law, everyone involved says this. Anyone else having done what she did would have lacked the authority to do so, whereas she did have such authority. There i

"If we found bug x, y and z will necessarily be found, therefore VeraCrypt is insecure." That's the argument being made implicitly, and the argument you're reiterating. Saying, "Who knows if there are more bugs?&quo

Regardless of what you believe about Wikileaks, it doesn't follow to think they're in league with the provider of the leaks. If you know anything about how Wikileaks solicits material, you'd know such isn't the case...

If there were more bugs, why weren't they found? This is a form of "slippery slope" argument that holds no weight as to the security of VeraCrypt, one way or another.

Just turn off your phones, can't unlock Android, at least, without the code, after startup.

What is the point in talking about that, though? Giving your anecdote that you don't want to watch anything on Netflix falsely implies your anecdote is statistically significant, when in reality it isn't.

> without your consent Untrue. I have given my consent. Why are these privacy posts always using some kind of nefarious and negative language?

It's $10/month, peanuts considering what you're getting. Your careful analysis of a purchase that's doable using the literal change falling out of your pocket is not representative of the folks who purchase Netflix (not

Every single one of those founders who come on HN and give honest opinions also wrote press releases just like this. You have not heard from Elisabeth Holmes because of this, you've heard from the CEO of Theranos, whose name is Elisa

Sometimes you guys are after blood, what do you want them to say? "We're the worst, we'll never try at anything anymore, sorry for existing." Would that make you happy?

It's not off topic, though. Can we discuss this over email?

Because people don't honestly care, they just like to pretend to care. Convenience trumps privacy, every time.

I think the "right" answer here is to put something like nginx in front with load balancing, and rolling restarts, or something like that. I'm in a very similar situation as what you've got described, and I'll sta

No, I'm done. The author of the tool has come out and explained things to you directly, and if you're going to keep playing games, you can do that with someone else.

No, because Dead Man's Switch doesn't do that either.
