As gzip compression only applies to the content of the page, not the headers, I would assume that prefixing your page with content that is variably compressible and of varying lengths would throw a monkey wrench in the attacks. The compress

Thank you for the write up here. I was going to post something similar, but instead use the example of a lawyer wanting to perform name searches on the list of people the NSA has information on. One point I do want to make, though, for anyo

This is incorrect. The article involves compilation of the PyPy interpreter (not CPython) into JS. This is why I asked about someone attempting a benchmark comparison between the two. Still, it's a fun project. Good luck to the author.

How does this compare to http://repl.it/ ? Anyone figured out how to get a comparable benchmark out of it without loading a full browser? The reason I ask is that http://repl.it/languages/Python loads

This part of the talk is probably the part I have the least interest in, honestly. It would be cool, yes, to act like a first-party Dropbox client and have full access to my account via open tools. But in the meantime, they do have a python

Well, the best we can do is assume they lied. However unlikely, it's still possible the NSA had moles or secret legal proceedings against certain employees that directed them to provide the NSA with a direct connection to the servers.

"Work is continuously occurring in the interior" Might be nice to have a window in a room so you have a dry area to stage your work from or take a break in. Maybe pair it with a lockable interior door for overnight storage.
