    People seem to be raving about Skype supporting end-to-end encryption, and giving Microsoft credit. However, overlooks two points: (1) Skype started out peer-to-peer and MS centralized it, and (2) MS still collects metadata. I see it more as a MS's hand being forced by fact that most competitors are introducing end-to-end encryption, not because they want to add it out of the goodness of their hearts. Don't give credit where credit isn't due.

    Signal's reliance on Google and lack of federation (centralized architecture) make it harder to recommend. XMPP with OTR, hosted on your own server, with Tor connections might be a better bet but no push notifications on mobile (particularly on iOS) without using third-party push services. Which is why Signal uses Google? (XMPP has a push option but needs server support.)

    Amazon and Microsoft enable censorship circumvention in Iran, but Google does not. (Signal relies on Google so blocked in Iran.)

    1. Microsoft and Amazon Enable Censorship Circumvention Tools in Iran. Why Doesn’t Google?
      from Motherboard
      Google blocks a tool called Google App Engine in Iran, indirectly allowing the Iranian government to block apps that piggyback on it to skirt online censorship.

    Tried a couple of shots of this european peach brandy last night. Could strip paint but has attitude.

    Serious question: what (if any) are the implications of Gödel's incompleteness theorems for formal methods to 'prove' a program against a spec. Does it e.g. imply that any spec. can never be complete? Or does it only apply to systems of arithmetic described by axioms?

    I have a very grave concern that W3C standards are now so complex they can't be implemented except by large, expensive software teams, which require corporate backing. Firefox selling out to Google, Pocket. The web becoming controlled by corporations lock, stock & barrel.

    Also, why is the Certificate Patrol extension for Firefox no longer supported? Ah, I see: "As Firefox is in the process of becoming a Google product, we are no longer granted an API that lets us protect you from men in the middle." http://patrol.psyced.org/

    Okay, so why can't I delete 'Authorities' in the Firefox certificate manager? 'Delete or distrust' button ineffective - and I distrust most of them by default.

    @thatbrickster Since then 'six jobs' Osborne is editing a London hack rag as a vehicle for his personal vendettas. Nothing like rewarding failure.
