When you send someone a letter, you might have a copy and they will have a copy, but the post shouldn't. If you burn your copy, you don't expect the post to send you a backup.

Yes... and the premise of the original post was about vulnerability to arbitrary code being executed on the machine with the user account's rights. I.e., nothing's stopping the keyloggers now. This is the airtight hatchway we&#x27

And yet users have repeatedly flocked to software, including browsers, that "surface" less features.

So locally running malware only needs to keylog your master 1Password password to decrypt your 1Password data file?

Just getting the file would not help you for the attack vectors shown in the article for Chrome (need user account's CryptProtectData), IE-pre-10 (need copy of registry keys + CryptProtectData), or IE 10 (need binary on user account).

I remember some software explicitly storing your saved passwords in plain text to make the point that storing it "encrypted" is in the end no different. Short of making you log in to your browser/password manager with a maste

because what Facebook's really missing is more new parents posting about their children and their creations ;)

Oh. Well, I guess that's a huge difference from a father finding his young daughter making things on paper that are just plain beautiful! Parents have always found their progeny's output amazing. Crayon drawings are easier to put

A lowest common denominator in spying wouldn't be such a bad thing, I would think, provided a sensible choice of countries. Though I was thinking more along the lines of making the internet less reliant on American-housed or -owned inf

BART service is running close to capacity during peak hours on the central part through San Francisco to Daly City. You can't put a lot more trains through without building a second tunnel.

They don't, but were either not allowed or not willing to publish the number of requests excluding the non-secret ones or the breakdown of the total number into "innocent" and otherwise.

The principle still applies: the information has been submitted, collected, and is accessible to those who ask persuasively enough.

Incidentally, this would be a great advance on Zuckerberg's professed goal of making the world a more open place. Safer or better would be arguable - more open would not be.

They aren't being accused of a crime (or at least most of the controversy isn't about things that are normally considered crimes), so I'm not sure if innocent-until-proven should necessarily apply.

> what reason do you leave for them trying to improve transparency? To decrease the mistrust. Facebook hasn't been fully trustworthy for a long time, if ever. That's normal - I don't think any company really is.

Perhaps I should defer to Jean Chretien... "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven." Honestly though - I don't know.

... or so says Facebook's legal department ;). How can we tell?

There's the shared-private-keys argument, by which they wouldn't actually know how many requests were made. I haven't been followed very closely so I don't know if private keys thing was specifically denied - was it?

Is there any practical way for them to actually prove this is the complete number, rather than the number they're allowed to tell us about?

Ah yes, Berlin, that's a reasonable option for laptop repair for residents and visitors to Poland.

I take it you do not visit Poland or Trinidad and Tobago often. Fair enough, to each for their own needs! But keep in mind the grandparent is not necessarily a high-flying high-paid bit-pusher like you, so your dismissal is still a little s
