   We plan to build chat into Lavaboom, but we haven't figured out yet what's the best way to do it (and it's a _way_ long ahead, anyway). What you're saying makes a lot of sense and is definitely a possibility.

   TLS transport is nice to have, but some people can work around it. [0] That's why I only considered PGP, but you're right, SMTP TLS is important. We've also been toying with SMTorP. [1] 0: http://en.wikipedia.org&#

   As glibgil says, it's called Zero Knowledge and it means we can't access your data because it's encrypted client-side. It was a no-brainer, since we already have your public key. We make key management easier by offering the

    We're a small team with limited resources, JS is the easiest medium to get started and ship MVP. Until we have native apps for most popular platforms, you have two options: (1) run the web client on your own machine, and use Lavaboom t

    And yet nobody sees a problem in creating stupid crap for stupid users and expecting to ~break even~ get rich selling ads. This reminds me of a recent article [0], where this line stood out: > “We just introduced an emoji feature and com

    I find it disturbing how everyone seems relatively unfazed by DARPA's intended use of this technology.

    DDG would be a perfect fit for Apple, IMHO, as long as they don't kill the company and leave them some autonomy.

    I'm the counterexample - I like letting capable people as loose as possible, and more often than I'd like this backfires. I'd appreciate some effective pointers on how to deal with this issue.

    How large can the indexing data be? I really doubt it's larger than a couple of MB. Zero Knowledge is a perfect fit for this scenario (due to the concerns you outlined), store the data encrypted on the server and decrypt it with some p

    Go is the language name, golang is the search-friendly alt, and "gophers" are the users of the language. Your apparent distaste for Google doesn't justify your mean attempts at humour.
