There is no separation at Google anymore -- though there used to be. That was torn down to build Google +. http://www.wired.com/2012/04/opinion-singel-google-walls/all...

I'm going to nitpick that article. Not all of the coverage of Trello at Disrupt came from writing reporters ahead of time. I know because I wrote one that mentioned Trello: http://www.wired.com/2011/09/startup

Fun fact: the airlines are still regulated as common carriers, even after much of the deregulation. No one is arguing for the FCC to set pricing, and having a universal service fund for broadband makes sense. USF funding was always levied a

Common carrier regulations date back even farther than the depression and they work perfectly well with airlines, prohibiting discrimination. Title II is appropriate. Broadband connections are the telecom infrastructure of the future, and t

That's an ethical, not legal argument. (Unless we're talking about CC-licensed images requiring attribution.)

I don't know that this is infringement -- at the very least, it's arguable that the use of the image is transformative (e.g. it's being used in a montage of criticism). Just because something is used commercially doesn't

Really, Kevin Poulsen is the Wired writer you are going to pick on? He co-created Secure Drop with Aaron Swartz. If your memory doesn't go back that far, there was that cool article the other day about how a hacker reverse-engineered O

1) The story explicitly refers to PFS. 2) Ladar has explained this. And even with PFS, if a service provider hands over SSL keys and gets hit with a gag order, perfect secrecy only helps in regards to past communications.

So the totality of your criticism of a story from one of the best security reporters in the business is sigh and "doesn't get it right"? And this is the top comment on Hacker News? Sigh

Well, there's a lot of paperwork and time involved. Most U.S. banks raised their international wire fees to ~$60 at the end of October to comply with more regulations.

What kind of citizen thinks that required legal standards can be private property and uses the word "entitled" to refer to public standards? The answer: a corporatist with no sense of the notion of public goods. This generation sc

Actually, that's exactly what the net neutrality rules say and that's the point of the internet. Any legal device connecting to any legal service so long as you don't harm the network.

I still don't think this comports with the net neutrality rules, which focus on network management at a user/protocol level. Commercial/non-commercial is a business distinction -- which is exactly what net neutrality was mean

Sure, Thomas, I'll bite. I think Andrew did a good job of exploring the question of asking people to help an individual, when their dollars would be better spent on issue-focussed NGOs/charities (defined as greatest good for great

Who says it the job of journalists to "present sides that are wrong or misinformed?" What you meant was that journalist shouldn't have a worldview different from mine. He didn't have to present those views -- those wer

Paul, as a mostly former journalist, I'm going to say I think you are mostly reacting to the grafs about funding/Silicon Valley greed machine, and being referred to as "recently controversial." A real write-up of a start

Do not try to talk your way out of anything. And you do NOT have to and should not answer any questions from law enforcement or the TSA. Ask repeatedly: Am I being detained? Am I free to go? Cops can ask for ID (which you do have to provide

I don't know that you get to say that something is wrong if you can't get to Ramen-profitability in 6 to 12 months and then later say to follow the example of Google and build something that touches billions of people's lives

One may argue then that an ISP could offer a service that bans the Bittorrent protocol under the argument that they want to prevent abuse of an otherwise unlimited connection for only $70/month to connect to a filesharing website that

Well, there are lots of people whose threat model doesn't include the police. Say for instance you are a psychiatrist who wants to offer patients a fairly secure method of talking to you. Or you are a small business doing work in China
