Cool, I'll check it out. I was thinking more along the lines of hiding messages in the Tor protocol itself, rather than hiding Tor traffic (which is desperately needed.)

No, they're based upon a detailed explanation of the evidence of the state, given to a Grand Jury, who determines whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. That document is available publicly as an indictment. Some indi

Right, but it doesn't work. That's the whole point of the article. Tor+random app usually equals massive vulnerability. I should add I learned that the hard way trying to integrate Tor with OpenBazaar. What might be fun is stenogr

So was Charles Manson before his trial. I'm saying he's guilty, not a court. It's one man's opinion, not a finding of fact or law. The fact pattern isn't really in dispute here. Do you really deny he performed the

Guilty of violating the USC Drug Kingping Act amongst others. Guilty of running an $80 million narcotics ring. Guilty of murder for hire. Guilty under the law as written. You may believe him innocent by appeal to natural law, or un-prosecut

I love it. They used to say "The only way to know what the Times is free to print anything it wishes is for the Enquirer to be able to do so too." Ubricht proved we're not dealing with supervillians. Just security experts wit

Tor and Bitcoin hide fundamentally different things in their pseudonymity specs. It's like people think Tor is magic anonymity peanut butter they can spread on whichever project they wish.

No problem. It's a few bucks a month. Some may reply that is a legal risk as well. I believe it is clearly within the bounds of the law. If the police shut then down I would fight to the extent of my ability in the courts to have them

To put it finally and bluntly: BECAUSE IPs SHOULD NOT HOLD UP IN A COURT OF LAW AS PROOF OF IDENTITY. Wow, that feels better.

I run one. I tell anyone who complains that's legal, explain Tor, and send them the form letter, and then never respond again. Three years running, and I've never been sued or otherwise affected.

Technically no, because there isn't actually a right to remain silent under the United States Constitution. Miranda readings, which most people conflate with this "right to remain silent" are a bit of a bizarre invention of t

Agreed. Colonization must include a very high degree of self-sufficiency. Occupation is a prerequisite for colonization, and the window to do the work necessary to complete the task of a true colony may not be that large.

It's not just the pay of a few top level officials: the number of employees in the university bureaucracy has exploded over the past few decades. What's interesting is that this growth tracks quite well with the increase in tuitio

That most likely would have happened anyway. Even without Columbus's voyage, the existence of ships capable of intercontinental travel would have led to an an encounter that would have played out much the same way: decimation of the po

Look, this is a great chance to see if anything is amiss. We can simply directly test our hypotheses: Start up the Sill Road server with a tor circuit in front of it (isolated from the main network.) Then have the FBI demonstrate how to get

This is now the second major network that I've heard ran into this exact problem. The update to Windows caused the end-user nodes to send out lots of IPv6 packets The access layer switches went to full CPU utilization, and you ended up

The next step in your calculation is to ask, "What are the constraints on production in a society that has ultra-high automation but no artificial intelligence?" There is only one: intelligence. I can see such a society going to g

Who's to say that the choice to survive in the distant future is desirable? Everyone you know and love will have been long dead, and any society with both the means and will to revive you may have undesirable objectives in mind, e.g. a

Sad to report that this does not fulfill the gaps in the extant on-demand grocery delivery system. It's expensive, slow, unreliable, and doesn't provide the items for which the application would be most useful, e.g. delivery of fr

According to the blood samples on 20 patients throughout West Africa, the current outbreak is a new strain. It is closely related to Ebola Zaire, but appears to have involved a different trans-species transmission event than the Zaire strai

Right. But since the current outbreak is limited to a single strain, he should have an acquired immunity. However, he's probably more useful contributing as a research subject state-side, than a treatment specialist in West Africa, to
