GPS data is pretty accurate outdoors, but the second you step inside a store the trace goes completely haywire and bounces round hundreds of meters in all directions. So any warnings will end up so broad as to be useless. Even if just 0.1%

Some nuance, but still a biased hit piece. Particularly ugly is when the author dismisses Glenn Greenwald's journalist status, which is beyond doubt, and designates him a mere digital-privacy activist. The Economist have a history of p

They're really hitting the "nobody should be above the law" talking point hard. How fortunate for us — it sounds good but doesn't survive even casual scrutiny. Crypto might interfere with investigations, but that is very

It stinks that the case ended like this — without setting a sensible precedent — but I think there is still some upside: FBI director Comey's "Going Dark" narrative no longer holds water with anyone who's paying attentio

So why is Microsoft fighting us.gov regarding access to data stored in another country? Isn't that, to the layman, just another variety of ribbon-wrapped box. Gates should know that, just like extra-jurisdictional data retrieval, sign

See this FT article [1] (a admittedly biased competitor) from late last month. Their cash shrank from £840M to £740M in the last year, and they're planning to cut "costs" by 20%. That's a tragedy at such a great newspape
