   Is Forward Secrecy implemented in the latest version? This used to be a main disadvantage compared to Signal, for example.

   Not true, a lot of banks still use z/OS and Cobol, and you can make a good living with those skills.

   You should also be aware that installing an ActiveSync profile (to access company mail and/or calendar) has a similar effect; ActiveSync has features to wipe your phone and set up restrictions.

    I've done this years ago and am very happy with it. However I don't recommend this to everybody (especially non-techies) since you cannot restore a backup to a different physical device, so changing your phone requires a re-instal

    Time to move that data (or at least a copy of it) elsewhere.

    That wasn't the subject. The point is that deleting everything but the bare necessities kills the "time waster" opportunities, while being still much more useful (and privacy-minded) than a dumb phone.

    A dumb phone is a privacy nightmare. Use a smartphone with important and privacy-minded apps only, and ditch the social stuff. Use a laptop or desktop for Twitter and the like. That's what works for me (and my phone's battery).

    To me paper is a temporary GTD-style "Inbox" which quickly captures draft information until it can be put into a trusted electronic system. I guess I am too hooked on backups, tagging and searching, as well as the possibility of

    I don't understand all this recent Signal bashing here on HN. I have been using Signal for some time now on a daily basis and I haven't had real usability issues. We cannot hold OWS responsible for the insecurity of our operating

    I agree that this is rather useless. I have given up on Facebook and Whatsapp and what I am missing most is the double checkmarks when a message has been delivered / read, as well as attaching any kind of file to a message. That being

    Yet another useless "the mainframe is dead" article. While some banks might have these issues, it's not because the mainframe is slow (it isn't) or has been around for a while. It is because of IT mismanagement and/
