Right, key is to make it so expensive that the obsession over mass surveillance becomes economically unhealthy.

Good points, though... Some of the best known, and as a result watched races are the ones that had wrecks; my opinion. Personally, I don't watch races, and do either street racing, long distance, or bad weather driving; which is it say

Goal should be mass adoption of universal turnkey state-level OPSEC for everyday use.

There's never a single right solution, but if traffic analysis was the issue, endpoints could introduce latency, use Tor, sync/mix traffic with other endpoints via P2P, inject fake traffic, etc. - though if the core system leaks m

Is the backend for the Signal's messaging server open source? If so, they should open source the build script too.

Agree. Reluctant to be critical of the topic, given how much those involved have managed to get done, but it is very concerning to me from what I'm able to tell how low priorty this issue appears to be. Second issue that to me is press

Get the sense that EFF didn't even talk to any of the parties involved before posting their review, and to me, given how much weight they carry in the community, it's unclear why they didn't.

YouTube needs a "download" button; love this code, it works like magic, but for the average user the real answer is that YouTube needs a way to download a video; otherwise, YouTube is just enabling all the 3rd party sites that exp

Exactly, race clubs are for racing, not wrecking. Mainstream racing is designed to entertain the fan(antic)s - and they watch the races for the wrecks.

Yes, the difference between bias and preconception is exactly what, or are you being bias? Seriously, lookup the meaning of the terms and see if what they mean are what you believe them to mean.

(Not that this effort is intended to do so, but)... Guessing without wrecks, autonomous racing would likely never become mainstream.

Data scienists working with editors on a story makes more sense. While not critical to the point, as far as I'm able to tell, John's never done any journalism.

Human artist would most likely inject their own take into "imitation" art, but if the computer's art was purely derived from an artist past work, it's only inspired by the artist work; this is in theory, even the code to

Very possible I missed it, but a story using data science in my opinion should be open source and reproducible using something like a data science notebook script. This article reads as data scientist should be editors, which in my opinion

Tech innovation isn't completely a rarity in the news biz. For example, Django, a python web framework, was created by devs at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper. While I don't know for sure, I'd be very surprised to learn

Has anyone offer to fund an audit of the code/crypto/workflow? If not, it'd be nice Moxie would spec out a public request for funds via some sort of crowdfunding and means to post public offers to audit the code based on the

(@Moxie) Are there docs on how & why phone numbers are used, and what if any risks/threats/weaknesses are known to exist?

How does giving away a known end point make a system more secure? To me, it's the opposite, and makes Signal less secure.

Most obvious reason is that corporations are taxed to fund the government. Beyond that, if they weren't tax, you could just build a massive corporation, never take any cash out, and use it to make smaller businesses more profitable.

How is this giving Theranos a "unfettered voice" - seems like the opposite given that there's no one from the company to my knowledge in this thread of comments; yes, I realize the post is a direct link to an article on them.

In regards to if they already had the SAB - pretty sure before this there was no scientific and medical advisory board, otherwise, why would they be adding so many members to it at once; meaning if that's the case, seems really, really

Most startups don't end up reaching profitability based on their orginal idea, instead, they change paths, then later reach success or failure.
