People also need to educate themselves on encryption, in case the government doesn't care to hear their voice. Stand up with technology and not just policy.

It hasn't happened in the last 4 years and it won't in the next 4. The only way to bring justice to banks is to cause a run on them. Take your money out and put it in a small, local credit union. You'll be glad you did, if o

Exactly. I live in Japan and the inkan is the bane of my existence. I can go to the bank teller, offer them my driver's license, citizenship card and can recite the PIN code to them but they won't believe I'm me and let me a

Well, possession might work better if it were a chip you'd implant in your body. Then at least it wouldn't be prone to theft. You'd just need to convince people to implant something in their bodies. In any case, you're

Exactly. Don't like it when people take photos of you streaking children? Then don't streak children!

Possession of an iPhone or other device as a system of authentication is actually less secure than even a fingerprint which at least takes some degree of skill and tools to lift off of a surface. Sorry but the core of your idea is not a sol

The average American = the proverbial frog in the pot. It'll take some seriously hot water to wake people up.

I could read a few paragraphs and just got sick of this article. You called the author right, he's a hack at best.

Edward Snowden recommended to his interviewers to put their cellphones in the refrigerator of his hotel suite in HK. The sound is muddled to the point where it sounds like a conversation in another room while having a bunch of clothes piled

You can always reject one aspect of society while embracing another. I understand how the author here feels. The whole market economy/consumption cycle is dehumanizing and serves those already in possession of excess riches at the exp

The NSA has been lying through its teeth of late. Tell me again why I should believe it.

The transition is rough but I would like automation to reach 100% and nobody having any jobs. At that point money is no longer needed, as long as there is an abundance of things (what the 100% automation is all about). People spend their da

Yeah... ummm.... I fed it an image of some of the most prominent women in computer science and half of them came up as dumb asses including Hedy Lamarr, inventor of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.

Spying on phone calls/metadata has nothing to do with announcing raids against legitimate terrorists.

My product (a password and secret manager) comes with a privacy GUARANTEE, not a policy. Polices are "what we want to most of the time" and are too weak.

Watching Snowden's video it's self evident how learned and intelligent he is. I don't much care whether or not he finished high school. It isn't the single measure of intelligence. Morality is the quality by which I&#x2

Teens are used to posting self genitalia pics to their friends. They'll begin to value privacy when they need to interview at a company who finds those pics and decides not to hire them.

With politicians like Feinstein who needs terrorists? They're destroying the very foundation of America all by themselves.

They still have to waste CPU cycles comparing either the plaintext or the checksum as you suggest. If nothing else it makes their server room A/C more expensive.

BCrypt is superior to the SHA family of hash algorithms. That should be reason enough not to use SHA.

I've always been surprised so many companies have their servers based in the USA. Iceland seems a safer place to me from a democracy standpoint.

Go pseudo. For the same reason you'd develop the software in the first place, so people can operate in private. But open source your work so if you make mistakes the ideas you have can be improved upon by others.

Privacy is a human right. Not something a government can grant or take away. And certainly not something CNN can declare dead. Mine is alive and well and I'm keeping it that way.

① Don't be so lazy about your own privacy. You are the source of most of their data from where you ate last night to what movie you're watching tomorrow. So stop doing that. ② Populate the surveillance database with junk data by

Actually it does. Free services means the loyalty is NOT to the users but whoever pays the bills (usually ad merchants). That's why there are "privacy policies" and not "privacy guarantees".

And I've joined you by flagging the OP as well. Some people don't seem to understand the cost of democracy and need to put aside their sense of entitlement for just one or two days for the greater good.
