I don't really know the significance of this, it just looks like an error to me and it's certainly not news that errors exist. A quick Google search and apparently there's a new section of the bridge opening or something? I s

Actually, the one where the guy is afraid of flying, avoids it his whole life and then crashes the first time he actually flies is ironic. I think you'd be right if none of the situations were ironic, but the fact that one is really

Yeah, I agree this does indeed look like exactly the sort of situation the DMCA was designed for and that's certainly the route I'd be looking at taking.

It's an interesting question. I think the specific circumstances described in the article, where the police looked in the suspect's phone to find his home address is arguably not a bad search. But as they point out in the article,

I don't think this is some conspiracy or anything, they just released a new version[0] and it's possible it broke something. Also, it's still available at the EFF website[1], and if you look in the FAQ, it's not availabl

Send a snail mail to me and my wife will probably read it. Send an email to me and my secretary will probably read it. Are surprised if email you send me is scanned for spam? Or scanned for automatic filtering? Or for full-text search? I do

They'd also have to do spam filtering client side, parsing the MIME to extract inline images, attachments and so on, sanitize the HTML to protected against XSS attacks, process it for full-text search, filtering into labels, auto-forwa

I wouldn't put any games in the top ten (or even top 50). I don't see Candy Crush or Clash of Clans being around six months from now, so I don't see how it could be worth anywhere near $1.36B...

I'm no cryptographer, but doesn't ChannelID (and, to a lesser extent, certificate pinning) mitigate a lot of these concerns? certificate pinning is already in Chrome, and I think ChannelID is coming soon (if not already). ChannelI
