I'm guessing that Amazon suspect that the user is doing something that they feel is deliberately untoward, but that they cannot prove . Therefore, rather than feel that they are being cheated, they decline to have the person as a cust

You missed the point. Your anecdote is about the returns gained when you choose to personally sacrifice one thing to gain another. My point was that in this scenario, you are forcing sacrifices on other people whether they like it or not th

I'm guessing you don't have a wife and children. It isn't about the money, it's about not seeing them. You are also forgetting that it isn't just your sacrifice in terms of the time you are giving up with your wife

This is spot on, and this is why bulk surveillance is so dangerous. It would not surprise me to know that the FBI has already started following/spying, and tasked the NSA to electronically monitor key Apple representatives and their la

Can you explain the background to this story? This is because they only want to sell their solution?

They'll do what they did to Wikileaks. The USG phone Visa and MasterCard CEOs and threaten the shit out of them personally. Suddenly you lose the ability to take credit card payments. You can turn to Bitcoin, but that's like tryin

I'm reading between the lines here, but is it suggesting that Clinton didn't trust the PC she had been assigned, and that she suspected she was being spied on? Was this the reason why she chose to run her own email server (not tha

Their age is unimportant. They made the same mistakes that all criminals make when they can't keep their mouths shut. Socialising together is stupid. My father worked in Scotland Yard. He once told me that their are villians and profes

I am lucky to live in a safe area. I don't like the tracking capabilities of debit and credit cards. I don't want my bank to know what kinds of shops I like to shop in, or how I chose to spend my money.I don't want a profile.

What about plausible deniability? You offshore the control of the key signing, source code and development. If demands are made on US based execs, even through NSL, the execs can state that they do not hold the power to force the outside Ap

The cat was supposed to be encryption in the wild. The furniture is the public. The government can't easily take encryption away. They can ban it is the US, but there are plenty of alternative countries that won't follow suit, and

But there is some degree of success mentioned in the article, even if it doesn't work for huge networks. That being said, some degree of privacy is better than none at all. Currently Facebook et al upload every single piece of contact

I wonder how far Apple are prepared to go? Does anyone know how far they need to go to put themselves outside of US jurisdiction? I know some companies already sign their software releases outside the US for tax reasons. Is that also enough

The problem isn't that social networks can't implement this, it is that they don't want to. Facebook and LinkedIn, for example, want to know who all our contacts are, because that data is so valuable to them. This needs to be

This very much mirrors my sentiments. Not only is the proverbial cat out of the bag, but it's proudly parading around with its tail in the air, frequently spraying on all the furniture. And if anyone has a cat, you'll know that yo

You have to trust the government to have a middle ground. It has been shown again and again that we cannot trust them. Even if we trust one government, it doesn't mean you can trust the next one. If the USG force the US tech companies

What bout some of these older particle discoveries from the 60's, have we found practical applications for those, or is it still too soon?
