A way of exploiting it is talked about in the article which would effectively allow Facebook/Whatsapp, or whoever is coercing them, to read all messages sent by a particular device.

I suspect it's a number of reasons. - I work to my own schedule. There's no artificial start time. If I feel like I've got something to contribute at any point I sit down and do so. If I feel inspired or get in the zone I&#x2

My own really short story, I (sysadmin/ops/programmer) currently work remotely about 4 hours per day, and I'm way more productive than when I worked 8.

I suffer from this too. The one month where I cut out alcohol completely I lost significant weight. Admittedly I exercised more too, but then months where I've exercised but not cut out alcohol I've not seen nearly as many benefit

That we know of. Which may be exactly the way they want it, and that may add to the difficulty.

Maybe, though you might be able to say the same about the president of the US. The people surrounding the leader of any given country I'd guess would be people who have background and links, kinda like a network of trust (I'm thin

Honestly not sure how well those really work either. As long as a majority (or lets face it, significant minority, see US election) can be manipulated into voting against their interests the only thing politicians need to fear are actual th

At this point I have no faith in any of the political systems in place to really represent the people. People can already be manipulated into voting against their interests.

There is a secondary risk, and that is that ISPs (who IME often don't have skills or decent budgets for this sort of thing) are storing your data. At some point an ISP is going to get hacked for this data. At least re-routing to a serv

I signed it, though I'm pretty sure that the government e-petitions are a well crafted wind for people to piss into. At least I become a +1 in the count of people who object.

Yup, the US doing something doesn't mean Russia didn't.

I read the wikipedia article on the shooting (which admittedly may contain errors) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Mark_Duggan It does seem like it's going to be hard to know what actually happened at the i

I try to maintain an open mind, and an air of distrust over things I read and things governments do. However Russia has form for brutality, wether they are liberating or conquering, or both. Russia might mean well (I don't believe they

I would be interested to see what some of the people that were quoted in that rebuttal would say now. Speech is dangerous, speech is a weapon, that's why it needs to be protected, because people want to have the weapon only for themsel

That's fair enough, though I don't see anything quite as "extreme" as the examples of breitbart articles (which as far as I'm aware they are standing by). Everyone has bias, and everyone lies, and sometimes people j

Can you expand on that?
829.
by wlll 10y ago
That's a legit criticism, and likely shows a bias, though the paper did seem to acknowledge error, and the tone of the article was contrite, and lets face it, we're looking at a report of the paper's error in the paper itself

I really don't see the similarity (though I'm not familiar with the NYT, I assume it's a bit like The Guardian in the UK for this discussion). Can you give examples of fake news, or what I'd consider to be biased propaga

by wlll 10y ago
I have seen content from Breitbart, it's objectionable and dangerous propaganda IMO. I support their right to publish it, I don't support the idea of forcing people to do business with them.

Unfortunately in the UK you can be prosecuted for not handing over an encryption key the authorities think you have: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/14/ripa_self_incriminat... It is up to you to prove yo

I wonder if we can mitigate this by rolling keys regularly. Daily perhaps? As far as I know there's no requirement to store encryption keys personally, only to give up the keys on request if available. Something that you can't do

I'm worried about climate change making food production unviable causing conflict, and the rise of fascism. Road casualties etc. don't get a look in.

Ruined is a little strong. It's not like you can see the bolts unless you're up-close and personal with them, like for instance if you're climbing.
