There should be an open e-ink device and ecosystem. Even if you go through the trouble of flashing your kindle with a custom image, you're still stuck signing into your Amazon account to borrow a book from the library. Librarians will

Definitely an inflated claim by the prosecution. You cannot blame a major market event on the actions of a single individual. I would say in spite of that that this is one of those rare cases where the justice system comes back with a fair

Always promptly install security updates. Other than that, there is no protection from this specific class of vulnerabilities. There are other good security practices a slightly savvier user can follow, like running a soft firewall and inst

There was some spying by the NSA without their knowledge or consent. Network traffic between their internal networks wasn't encrypted, which enabled snooping. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security&

You can and should restrict the number of people with access to the data, but in a tech company there's always going to be a significant number of people with direct access to the raw data. Software engineers on an on-call rotation, fu

Working as designed: a smokescreen for arbitrary interrogation and denial of groups that border agents don't like. Everybody else that fails the test gets the benefit of the doubt. 75% accuracy is exactly useless, and I find it hard to

You can't just spin up 6k new relays and take over the Tor network without somebody noticing. The network is actively monitored for sybil attacks, and it takes 2+ weeks before a new node is "trusted" with significant traffic,

If you want to keep your phone secure, enable a long passcode, turn on full device encryption, and turn it off. If you are a US citizen, you can't be turned away at the border or forced to unlock the device. If you're not a US cit

Hosting a bridge from home is safe. They're not in the global relay list so nobody knows which IP to block. Middle relays should be safe to host from home but unfortunately some overzealous 3rd party lists of "evil IPs" inc

I stopped drinking it for a couple of months while I was having anxiety problems. There was no upside to cutting it out, I only felt worse. I drink between 600ml and 1.2L a day and find that it has a positive impact on my mood. There is suc

Nope! Because the Office of Legal Counsel made a good faith effort when they (incorrectly) opined torture was legal, none of the torturers will be held liable. After all, the government told them it was legal. It doesn't matter that th

I've seen posts by PG in some recent threads out in the wild, they don't show up in his post history. I would imagine this is intentional to prevent old comments being dredged up and used against him, much like Zuckerberg's o
