I figured an NSL could require Google Play to issue an “update” for that user which was just a backdoored client. Or similarly, require Signal to do something like that. As lavabit was pressured to do.

They’ve already bannned truly effective E2EE. Lavabit, TrueCrypt, Skype all RIP. I suspect the new E2EE protocols like signal may secure past communications to some degree but further forward communications can be wiretapped via federal ord

Why does it need to tell everyone I have a Signal account? Adobe doesn't tell everyone that I own Photoshop. Gmail doesn't tell everyone that I have a Gmail email. PornHub doesn't tell everyone that I subscribe to their premi

Indeed but it's also not clear why Google couldn't provide the same amount of free storage as they do for free Gmail accounts.

Can you try Lynx/Brave/Waterfox as well? I'd personally be curious to diff the HN cookie stored in each browser and see if there's a difference unique to FF. I'd also be curious to diff the HTTP requests sent from e

Something about Steve Klabnik's communications always carried a lot of weight for me and lent a great deal of credence to Rust as a whole.

I'm going to be blunt here, because this is your job. You've agreed to take on a particular level of responsibility and competency and I believe it's fair to hold you up to that. > And ads are always labeled. Poorly these

The article was misleading. I don't think they have examples of members of the electorate getting victimized. I believe it's almost entirely out-of-towners. Doubt the next election will change anything.

The article (almost certainly inaccurately) portrays this as the police are heavily victimizing citizens of their own town. But in actual small towns, this strategy tends to only work when the police are harming only out-of-towners that are
