You can't, you have to trust the platform. This is no different to any other encrypted messaging platform: you could be using a pen and paper + one time pad to encode a message but it's not secure if there's someone looking o

Depends what you mean by 'surveiling' really. People seem generally comfortable with the tradeoff of streetview cars taking pictures of their house (the tradeoff being that we then get streetview in g maps). Perhaps people are com

I think the GP meant 'aiding them in commiting future crimes' in the literal sense (e.g. helping launder money, abusing attorney privilege etc.) rather than implying that by defending them in court the lawyer would then be culpabl

Im not sure prosecuting academics is particularly obvious: you'd need to prove malicious intent (rather than ignorance) which is always difficult. For me a better solution would be to properly incentivise replication work and solid sci

Wind and waves would be a problem as they'd push the train around and it'd be hard to control with a tug. I think it'd be less hydrodynamically efficient too which would mean higher fuel costs overall: assuming you could buil

For what it's worth, google's MFA setup is the best of any I've used. You can (and should) setup a variety of second factors on your google account so that if one of them fails for some reason you've got other options. B

Pumped hydro storage is great but very dependant on geography, as without some big height differences it's hard to store enough energy. This makes it infeasible in a lot of locations.

Similarly, a lot of the tricky aerodynamic effects in F1 come off the tyres (tyre squirt etc.) so without modelling those you're not getting a great view of the bigger picture. In a similar vein I remember reading that one of the reaso

To me it seems FLoC is more about trying to stop a fingerprinting arms race between browsers and adtech, as will happen if third party cookies are removed and no other alternative is provided. In an ideal world adtech companies would just h

I don't think this is necessarily true. Say you have 100 sensors sampling at 1kHz for a year, you'd have ~3 trillion rows in your database and plenty of potential for scaling issues at a very reasonable price.

The clocks on both devices (i.e. fb's server and your phone) need to be fairly closely synchronised. TOTP effectively encrypts a timestamp using a shared secret then decrypts it on the other side and checks you're within some boun

This is obviously reading the tea leaves a bit, but I didn't get the impression they are looking to scrap GDPR. It seems to me that they just want to relax things a bit so that businesses don't feel so threatened by it. Overall I

Frankly it sounds like you just don't need a relational database. Their whole selling point is the strong guarantees they provide about your data, and if you aren't using those then you're basically just writing files to disk
