Conceptually, it can't work for general use cases. I hope the investors realise this.

This is exactly why I asked the original question.

No. The product _is_ the network. By restricting access to the network, access to the product is also curtailed.

They've stopped broadcasting local radio .. not the Olympics.
635.
by lwhi 5y ago
Why would local radio be broadcasting the Olympics?
636.
by lwhi 5y ago
This is local radio .. not Olympics coverage.

In that case, the moratorium placed on local radio seems even more bizarre.

It's funded via a license fee. Operates under a model of public service broadcasting.

I ~think~ thought officially you should buy a black and white license.

Thx! Has the BBC decided to do this in retaliation though?

I've heard that there are a lot of problems with broadcasting events due to the sell off, but I'm confused how this affects local radio. Is this an example of a tit for tat, proxy war?

No, you are utterly incorrect. If you produce a product that people depend on — and through which, you either intentionally or inadvertently cause damage to your user base — they have every reason to be upset. If the product is open source,

If you are unclear, perhaps it would be useful to ask yourself what you would personally need from a product to consider it 'secure'.

As far as I'm aware, I have to use the official server if I wish to communicate via the platform. If this isn't true, I'd be very interested to learn more.

So are you telling me I can run my signal server and use it to communicate with others on the signal network?
646.
by lwhi 5y ago
They also refuse to open source their server software. This is the problem in my mind. Open source in words, but not spirit.

You need to reread my post. The situation is far more complicated than your link to the GitHub repo would indicate.

I disagree. If that really is the choice, they should drop the secure moniker without further debate. -- If you produce a product that claims to be secure, the onus is on you to back up those claims. Off the top my my head there are many wa

I appreciate that this was a difficult and rare bug, but for an app that sells itself as 'secure', it feels like this isn't acceptable. How can users be assured that this type of issue won't occur again?

Looks like this was fixed [1]. Doesn't fill me with confidence if this type of issue can occur though. [1] https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/10247#iss...

I'd go further than this. It underscores why open standards and protocols are essential for a more secure world.

by lwhi 5y ago
In which world does Microsoft conform to open standards or protocols? Your point simply doesn't make sense.

We ruin what we have and move on. The problem with the West Wing, was that it added a pompulus romantic sheen to subjects that arguably didn't deserve it.

Design comes first. Implementation follows design. I can't imagine machine 'intelligence' carrying out the former any time soon. When it does, we're done for anyway.

Maybe we should think of it in a different way. Resource allocation.

Well, I really hope these problems are solved iny lifetime. I find it maddening to see the corporations run rings around elected governments!
