Even if we ignore privacy and effectiveness, the problem with authoritarian methods is that they can (and most likely will) be abused. The justification may be to catch predators a…

No the reason he is in prison is because of the Iraq war revelations. It has nothing to do with the 2016 email leaks.

Having a codebase that is so convoluted that only you can work on is really not a skill you should risk your career on. It might work for those people you have seen in a short peri…
