Let me take a stab at creative government-speak: No, this is also metadata. They are only taking a screenshot every few minutes, with as aim to get a clear picture of the face of the person operating the computer. Just like an email header

It actually made me laugh out loud. The statement makes it seem like MtGox was all fine and dandy until media started to talk about its shutdown. And now they say: > We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly.

So, was this plus automatic updates over SSL one of the ways the NSA could access "any iOS device"?

Any chance the pdf file was up early and they simply guessed the URL? This announcement was named 20140220-Announcement.pdf ( https://www.mtgox.com/img/pdf/20140220-Announcement.pdf ) while the previous one was 2014

Nearlyfreespeech is explicitly not for anonymous hosting. They are just very unlikely to take anything down without a court order forcing them to do so.

First a warning, because I've seen many misconceptions: Modafinil is not a sleep replacement. Especially not long-term. Do not use it that way. Its anti-sleep property is that it suppresses many parts of the urge to sleep. It does not

There's a theory that there's a group of people that has a genetic mutation that makes modafinil not work for them. That might be the case for you?

I have a fair bit of experience with modafinil/adronafinil, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I'm not recommending trying them without docter's prescription, of course. It helped me greatly to stay up longer,

You missed the word "invisibly"-- they can join/watch without showing up in the Cryptocat client as being present.

So, do all your (startup's) domains have AAAA records yet, and servers IPv6? I just enabled IPv6 on my stuff, which took much less work than expected.

fwiw: I discovered a strategy that works for me: don't look at the bird, but look to the top right of it. I got 21 and 20 in a row, after getting a high score of just 5 before switching to this strategy.

> "Latest stable version: 0.13.2" Does that mean that they suggest I can use this in production (since it's "stable") or that I can't, since it's not at version 1 yet?

I know that the LibreOffice team is short on manpower, but I still find it puzzling that they do not treat reproducible crashes as release-blocking bugs. Instead, there are a lot of such bug reports untouched, potentially waiting to be expl

Technically I love new plans in this space. However, it seems that this requires a lot of people using it to be useful (network effect)? Is there a plan for getting this used by people?

Yeah, because 2 years in prison is a completely reasonable sentence for researching the background of police officers or politicians, i.e. looking into corruption. And 10 years of prison for being at a protest is hardly extreme as well. Or

Plausible deniability is not intended to protect you; it is intended to protect the data. If you know that giving up the key (or all the keys) will not make them stop torturing you (as you cannot prove that you have given them all the keys)

What? I don't use any Google services besides Youtube, and for that there are many alternatives that are technically equivalent. I have zero issues living my day-to-day digital life. In what way exactly are they a decade ahead?

I haven't used any retina screens, but I use scaling in XFCE for my 27" 2560x1440 monitor and for a 14" 1920x1080 laptop screen, and it works without any issues on both of those. What are the native issues with retina (in Gno

Many desktop environments can do scaling well enough, in my experience. Not sure about Unity, the Ubuntu default. Edit: for non-retina screens (i.e. it's fine on my 14" 1920x1080 laptop.) For retina (not this laptop), it might not
