If you want raw data: out of the 1000 audio recordings the journalists could get their hands on, 153 were recorded without the trigger word. Google provided those audio recordings to language experts for transcription without account inform

There was an agreement the US pulled out of. Which part of that agreement talked about ballistic missiles? I think you are confusing two separate things. One is a nuclear capable Iran and the other is about the military projection of conven

For anyone wondering why the one (1) day extra, microsoft has a fixed patching schedule. The patches were released on june 11 patch tuesday. They needed the extra day to check if it was included in the june 11 patches.

I thought his point in the blog was that it was indeed trivial to implement but when you think about all the consequences it becomes trickier to do it well. He makes that point at the end.

I'm not sure if I follow your line of reasoning. Suppose it wasn't a call to violence but rather a call to never speak or engage with that person again. That person can be fired and never be able to rent again... (I have examples

Maybe you're right and I'm too cynical, but I see this more like a PR piece to attract talent to their organization. I think the NSA has a real image problem. They released ghidra. They admitted it was a recruitment tool. They now

I know we should always assume good faith. From all the vulnerabilities they know, they chose to publish one that's known and only concerns outdated software. Maybe I'm too skeptical but when the NSA starts leaking fixes for zero

Ok fine "victim's family". I stand corrected. It's not like when we change the words to describe it, is going to change how they feel.

And how are they going to be held accountable? They already have several contracts which states victims can't sue the company. Maybe not everyone signed, but then it's about how much they can pay their lawyers.

A diplomat would say we could trust the FAA but now they need to be verified.

Why is this strange? You sue the company making the tool then they tell you in court it's not them but rather entity X who abused it and give you the documents to prove it. Then you sue entity X.

If they've found a better way of snooping then why announce it to the world instead of silently dropping the program? This sounds more like a public relations move instead of a technically inspired one.

I wonder if recruitment was also a factor in making this decision. Recently they released ghidra which they admitted was mainly for recruitment purposes. If it's because of this, then it makes sense it's not worth it. Collecting m

What voting system are you using? If it's winner takes all then you're right. The head of state is indeed in charge of all departments. If it's more of a parliamentary system then the head of state needs to put x members in c

They even give an economic argument for this law. In a report to the EU commission they estimate this will result in potential benefits in the range of 5.8 to 9.6 billion euro.[1] This is only for public procurement. The two main conclusion

Wouldn't it be more sensible to give a range instead of a fixed date? I know it's not going to happen, but I think it would be more informative and honest. That way you could communicate better of how certain you are. There's

What are talking about? Is it because I said it was illegal instead of it being a crime? The first sentence you quoted was also part of a larger piece about we still need to see the proof that he actually sent it to someone else. So replyin

I think you read over the part where I said it was illegal. You don't need to invent scenarios, you can use the facts of this case. Manning already had access and didn't need the password to be cracked. Wikileaks already received

This is a very poor analogy and I think you know it. Cracking the password isn't the same as using it to log in. There are still some extra steps required. In the case of picking locks there are no extra steps, you gain access immediat

Suppose what everyone is saying is true: "We pay for the services companies provides us with our data". Normally, depending in which jurisdiction you're in, you could get your money back for "bad" service. If someon
