"another move from Mozilla to start gathering"

What do you mean by "another move" here? Mozilla isn't gathering anything!

No he can't always contribute himself because most people myself included can't contribute to whatever project just because it is open source. You need to have an intimate knowledge of the technology and the experience and since you suggesting that he "can always contribute" I'd ask you: can you?

Check the "How do I opt out?" part of the article.

You're conflating different forms of ads. Ads that get your info through trackers are invading your privacy. The Mr. Robot ad is as invading of your privacy as an ad in a paper magazine. It didn't collect your data. Come on don't pretend you don't know how invasion of privacy works.

The Mr. Robot extension didn't send data about you to other people so that means it didn't invade your privacy. It was strange that Mozilla would allow such an extension but it wasn't spying on you.

Probably crypto mining.

I have an account on Pinterest because I like the service but having to sign-in for the simplest of things surely bugs me. Sometimes I just want to see one image and I end up having to navigate a bunch of sign-in pages just to see something. Recently I've found myself skipping Pinterest pages just because of the hoop jumping that signing-in creates.

So Vibranium is not a metal after all!

Speak the name loudly to someone and ask them to write it. I know all about the company but I couldn't stop laughing after reading the headline. It gets to me every single time.

I've heard about the acquisition months ago. It took them a while to create a Microsoft version out of it.

The reason for his detention is mentioned near the end of the article:

"After several hours, Carrillo and another detainee were driven to a privately run immigration detention center in Adelanto, 85 miles outside Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert."

Privately run centers don't get paid based on citizenship or not but on services rendered.

This is one of the truly American stupid statements that mean nothing to the rest of the world.

Derive from other people's testimony: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2017/11/me_on_the_equ...

What's the difference? Discrete mathematical concepts are applicable to programming as is without modification.

I think it should be illegal. Frame it in terms of a burger. If McDonald's says "since you say our food is bad we're messing with your burger after you bought it and we'll give you your money back if you return it" that would be illegal and probably, not sure though, a form of discrimination.

The reason dealerships exist has nothing to do with accountability. Google it.

The price seems steep but I like the idea of merging these 2 technologies: http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/12/2/13818796/re...

This makes me think that the claims to pursue informants/leakers is false. It also makes me believe that the purpose of the leak was to create an alibi to conduct a procedure that looks like a prosecution to intimidate potential leakers.

Frankly I think this posting of github pages instead of the authorative source is inappropriate. I see it a lot on HN and find myself having to check that this is the official repo by going to the original website. If you know it you don't need to be told about it but if it's being posted to get it to people's attention then the canonical source is the right link even if it only has a link to github.

The graphic on the page links to the github repo.

A slow paced serial killer is safer than a fast paced serial killer.

“Had the FBI put a reasonable position on the table … five years ago they probably would’ve got that through,” Gidari argues. “They’re their own worst enemy on this stuff.”

Cruz fighting for internet freedom, Obama expanding social welfare after cutting it, Clinton fighting for healthcare and minimum wage.

I'm not trying to make this political but thank you Bernie Sanders. After the success of Bernie's grassroots movement traditional politicians are trying to appeal to the more progressive portion of the population since Trump controls the angry.

Hmmm, why did I just feel I'm reading reddit?

If that is true then that I think is a violation of due process. If proven to have happened then many people can simply go free due to technicalities of the law. Awkward for the FBI.

This should have been G+ without the creation of a whole social sub domain.

I think that the blame lies on the FBI. How can non-science be pushed into court under a deceptive cover of legitimacy.

It doesn't matter if "scientifically invalid" is a vague because when the jury decides based on invalid hair sample analysis then justice is not served. Also some evidence collection might not yield DNA in the first place.

This article is nothing more than ideological bullshit.

From a digital point protective measures such hack proof system can be expensively engineered https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTc1MTg but biology is a little bit trickier. I can think of biosuits of the future being like what we see in SciFi which is currently unrealistic but still plausible. I don't know where future protective technologies can go but there has always been some form of measure and countermeasure being developed in parallel one as a byproduct of the other.

As for privacy, I think we don't have as much privacy as we think we do. The thing that technology introduced is the recording of our already public moments. Now they can be played back at someone else's discretion and that someone else can control the narrative of our lives portraying us against our will in whatever way that someone wants. We're stuck here.
