This table of hash functions should show you why MD5 is never to be used when privacy/security is a concern... http://valerieaurora.org/hash.html MD5 first started coming under pressure in 1994 and was cracked in 2004.

Thanks for this! I'm using BCrypt at the moment and am looking at others like SCrypt so it's great to see actual reports about this.

I also visited it a few years back. It's no Disneyland but there's a wholesomeness to it. It's not just about money, but also about humanity. I really love Ghibli films and want to support the studio.

We're already suspects, we might as well have the encryption too. Privacy is a basic human right and cannot be granted or taken away. But you need to defend it all the same.

So long as the power to spy on people exists it will be abused. It already has been and it will only get worse. The only recourse is better cryptography.

You have to think about children and older people who don't have the degree of self control we adults do. Or the car itself will become the toilet. P.S. Wondering who downvoted my above, and quite legitimate, comment. Somebody mustthi

I saw the possible mock-ups of such a tube system (where everybody has to be seated) and had only one question: Where is the restroom and how do you stand up to walk there? I hope Elon has considered this.

Treating the citizens as the enemy is one thing but treating your employees the same way is on a whole new level. I'm actually interested to see how this plays out. The only thing that is for sure is that the job won't get done if

I wonder if there is a decentralized P2P crawler system that shares IP addresses of at least major domains/hosts. With that you could run a node and search locally against your machine without anybody knowing.

I think this is why Mod Def decided to volunteer for this procedure. He wanted to show us the degree to which it is or isn't torture.

I love that this video was recorded in advance of the US government actually saying all the thing he predicted. It deflates the whole argument that Snowden "aided the enemy" in a way that would not work if he responded to the accu

Time is a tool that Snowden is using well. By dumping everything at once he creates work for everybody else to scour through for the interesting bits. Instead by releasing bits at a time he lets us digest it all before moving on to the next

Technology, not policy, has always been what limits the degree of government surveillance. Concerned private citizens need to start using technology too. They need to learn about encryption and products to protect their privacy. Of course

Cats sleep 16 hours a day so if you get them addicted to social networks you'll be creating a rat population problem. In all seriousness though the author here just took the time to write what most of us have thought... that technology

I wondered that too. It has that "I understand what society expects of me and am willing to obey it therefore I'm a model citizen" vibe to it.

Japanese society and education can be very demanding of young people. I live in Japan and have never seen so much brainwashing on the topic of the unemployed or uneducated. Besides the term hikikomori there is also NEET (Not Employed, Educa

Snowden should just live in the airport and continue his work. I'm certain people would take care of him financially. Not that I want him to be trapped but he seems more free there in the sense that he can write what he wants.
