Referred from your reply to my comment[0]; Algorithms can be backdoored due to having a novel technique to defeat them that you have not disclosed and has not otherwise been discov…

Running an algorithm chosen by an attacker with extensive resources is foolhardy, because you can never be certain that your resources are sufficient to detect a trap carefully hid…

HP's consumer line isn't/wasn't great (I've had scant experience with it over the years), but their business products are generally great to take apart and repair. The EliteBook se…

I can't say as I've paid much attention and I'm sure the majority of ice cream is made from artificial vanilla, but: Vanilla beans appear to be about $6-7 each retail and $4-5 whol…

What are the alternatives once an event occurs and Google/Microsoft/Redhat/?? claim it was an accident outside of their control (possibly due to negligence)? Yes, outside experts w…

A signed malicious update would be a Big Deal(tm), but the entity would also be able to survive it by claiming it was negligence. I don't believe negligence has not been significan…

Perhaps I am cynical, but what's the profit motive for Google? They're much more financially motivated to be complicit and find vulnerable people to advertise to, if not create vul…

I think you could make your point without saying that "Most women can't handle adversity", which seems to be a dubious claim arising from extrapolation from your particular situati…

Disk encryption also prevents disposal issues from affecting you, which is a separate problem than physical access.

I looked at the two linked pieces of documentation, and to my naive eyes they look like they perform the same task: PHP: "Bound parameters minimize bandwidth to the server as you n…

Not to take away from his talking the good talk, but I don't think that his moral position is very meaningful given that it is demonstrably ineffective. If it was demonstrably effe…

But you still don't instill that actual individual in minds, and an actual, non-abstract, particular individual is occasionally crucial to a thought. Without that word you would ba…
