“Australia’s spies and cops want ‘accountable encryption’ - aka access to #backdoors”

“he outlined an argument that a dynamic tension exists between security and technology, Burgess added “encryption protects our #privacy and enables our #economy…and creates safe spaces for violent #extremists to operate, #network and #recruit.” #Burgess labelled encryption “clearly a good thing, a positive for our democracy and our economy” because it “protects #privacy, it enables communications and transactions.” But he noted it also provides #criminals with #anonymity, which is why #Australia has laws that make it possible to access encrypted messages.”

“Google agreed to destroy billions of records to settle a lawsuit claiming it secretly tracked the #internet use of people who thought they were browsing privately in its Chrome browser’s #incognito mode.

Users alleged that #Google’s analytics, cookies and apps let the #Alphabet unit improperly #track people who set Google’s Chrome browser to “incognito” mode and other browsers to “#private” #browsing mode.”

“An #Uber manager allegedly wrote in an email: “GoCatch is the reason we’re launching #taxi in #Sydney. Fuck those guys.”

The court heard Uber developed a #spyware tool called “#Surfcam” to steal #GoCatch drivers’ data, including their names and phone numbers, with Rohrsheim telling a colleague on 31 July 2013: “We are aggressively cold-calling [without disclosing how we got their number] and won 56 of [GoCatch’s] drivers.”

Another for the dirtbag files.

@Lana @feld the choice of grade was a balance b/w strength (more carbon) & cost (less C & Ni in 301 than 304?) … the rust is likely b/c increased carbon.

The trade-off b/w 301 & 304 is a approx. 30% strength improvement for 301. Still laugh at the rust though.

@aral excellent example of how to use rust. I’ll probably not use it (Vim is sufficient) but just reading through the source is an education in itself.
