Got a link for that? I've honestly only ever heard of the Python Flask, never the other.
I would steer clear of things like VPN and Tor. You might want to mention them but that's about it as it might get you in quite a bit of troubles with parents, the school etc.

GPG is a good thing to teach, the same as HTTPS and things like the EFF's HTTPS-Everywhere extension for most major browsers. Don't just stick to HTTPS though, make the leap to TLS/SSL and how it can be used to protect other forms of communication like e-mail.

BitTorrent Sync would be another thing I'd have a look at as it allows them to create their own Dropbox-like system, sharing files with friends etc. without entrusting their data to a third party.

Someone advised to never use free e-mail services but even with paid ones you have no guarantee your data won't be turned over. So if you want to be absolutely sure, host your stuff yourself.

Have a look at the Freedombox, https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/, and ark-OS, http://ark-os.org/. Teach them about open source communication platforms and protocols such as XMPP (Jabber). You don't have to teach them how to set this stuff up, that would also require a working knowledge of Linux, but make them aware. Linux itself wouldn't be a bad thing to mention too.

Most importantly though, don't be an idiot. Don't share things on the internet you deem private or not for public consumption or when you do chose to do so, make sure others can't reade it.

They can extrade the person: "As long as a website's address ends in .com or .net, if it is implicated in the spread of pirated US-made films, TV or other media it is a legitimate target to be closed down or targeted for prosecution"
Secret courts are not about justice.

They are about masking injustice behind the veil of "law".

Since US is a country with long tradition of rule of law. The easiest way of subverting the rule of law is by subverting the concept of a judge and of a court.

There.
My first real start-up job was at the end of 1999 and start of 2000. The company was founded by a few Ivy League MBAs and they hired a bunch more. I found them intimidating a bit and they made sure the relationship stayed that way.

We had a lot of meetings with a lot of SATish words thrown back and forth. We had meetings about how to have meetings and on and on...

Fast forward the Internet bubble burst, we were ruining out of cash fast and had to downsize. One-by-one the MBAs left and we got more creative, more nimble. I went from a snobed -out engineer (it had a non-leadership connotation at that place) to running engineering and then the product team. We sold the company (not a huge exit but everyone got something) and stayed a year until got fed-up with the labyrinth of our parent company (ran with bunch of sales and MBAs).

Here's what I learned from my experience. Many MBAs make good consultants. They can analyze and write a report for you. They're mostly not creative nor can creat anything (or they'd be doing that instead of spending $100,000 in school ). Because they can't creat anything, they have to show their value. Which means a lot of analysis, meetings and meetings about meetings. Resulting in slowdown, reduced innovation and increase in politics.
It was the same with the drone strike debate. The whole buzz was about the fact that the US president now could order a drone strike on US citizens.

No discussion about non US citizens. It was just assumed that drone striking them was OK. Made me really feel weird as an European.
Cool! We'll do our best to get it there safely. :)

>It's very simple: there would be mass panic if they showed how successful they've been.

We don't know that. But I suspect if they really were stopping lots of plots people might question why there are people so desperate to kill us. Nonsense like "hate us for our freedom" isn't going to hold up long if we are constantly getting attack.

Having said that, I don't believe this is the case. Based on what the government has shown (entrapment cases) I'm sure they'd blast it out on every station if they managed to stop a real terrorist plot.

>One can't observe (as a US citizen) a lack of successes and estimate whether the program is working or not, because that information would be intentionally hidden.

And one can't observe if my anti-tiger rock is actually protecting me from being killed by tigers. But I'd still call you a moron if you paid billions for my rock and gave up a ton of your freedoms to have it.

The USA gets all of europe's bank transaction data above 5000€ or so :/
The big US companies have made it clear that they will give out data held by subsidiaries, even if this is illegal eg under European law.
Whats interesting here in Australia is that mainstream press are largely ignoring this story.
The number one story on news.com.au right now is "How the fabulously rich kids travel" - cant wait to read that!
The Ed Snowden story is way down the page.
What are you saying? Those people see something holding back Gestapo-style "disappearing"s? Or they think that it's already happening? In the cases you mentioned, the people were too high profile to be completely disappeared but how they have been handled is despicable enough.
That's because writing a bot for most of those games is ridiculously difficult (because it "enables cheating" - maybe true - maybe not).

One "exception" to this rule is StarCraft [1]. But only because somebody hacked the core of starcraft to enable this. If you want to play a starcraft bot - be warned. They're not programmed to be fun, they're programmed to win.

He needs financial, physical and political protection. Most people can contribute to the financial and the political part.
Nothing to see here. It simply returns what's the most relevant in specific area (in this case word "North" matches).
Just want to emphasize the difference between the FRA law and what's happening in the U.S. right now: FRA (swedish agency doing SIGINT) don't need a warrant. This is all supported by law.

"Nothing to hide" dominated the pro-debate for this. Only populist representatives like Fredrick Federley and Annie Lööf voiced their discontent with the proposed changes in law, and they happily agreed to it while some minor things where changed. Common people just didn't care. Still don't.
When you enter america as a tourist you (used to) sign a document saying you wave all rights of personal freedom. Now they make you pay for it up front online every couple of years.
I am reading. It's a work in progress that "leaked", I should have made it private really until it was ready. Was originally built for a Chromebook Pixel kiosk at Google I/O, totally aware it burns most browsers/devices to the ground.
>But the return on investment is likely to be far less.

I am not so sure about that. The internet... well, many of the wide-open holes have been closed... BGP hijacking isn't as trivial as it was in '08[1], mostly because filtering has been implemented in some places, but it's still something that could be done by someone of, say, my resources. It's trivial to anyone with real resources.

And there are all sorts of other possible attacks. Hell, even ignoring the (probably easy, for one of the three letter agencies) possibility of putting a backdoor in the firmware shipping on popular routers, well, most ISPs end up using ancient router firmware revisions on their routers[2]

Yeah; read over that BGP hijacking attack; it sounds way easier than setting up a collector at every ISP. (You'd still need local collectors to not add too much latency, but a single (/very/ well connected) collector could cover a reasonable region)

[2]Cisco charges an arm and a leg for firmware upgrades... they give you some of the really old stuff? but usually the choice is used $BIGNAME hardware without firmware updates, or you roll-your own quagga. (at the 10G/sec traffic level my upstreams can push, quagga/vyatta work just fine... that's what I use.)
In practice, acquiring the "equivalent experience" is nearly impossible without the degree

That's just not true in my experience. A goodly percentage of the very best people I've worked with - and the very best people I've hired - have not had a degree in CS. Many do not have a degree full stop.

Many of the people I hire who do have degrees aren't being hired because of the degree - they're being hired because of the side project, and their experience of hacking code since they were 11, etc.

I think students, especially American students (because that massive personal debt must be worth something...), overestimate the importance of a degree when it comes to hiring.
you'll be putting all your traffic through cloudflare?

if they do your SSL termination that makes all your careful US-avoidance completely redundant.

additionally, if you include some JS hosted on cloudflare, then that's susceptible to being tapped by the US intelligence agencies too.
With Crowdit being a US company, what do you think the chance of any substantial funds ever reaching Snowden is?

(and that's ignoring all the other obvious problems with this scheme)
One should take oneself less seriously.
The time voting would help was gone years and years ago. If you want to make peaceful change now you're going to need to get involved in politics directly (e.g. "The pirate party" but don't call your party that in the US. In fact, I'd call them "democrats" or "republicans", which ever is more popular). Until enough of us do this, things will just continue to get worse. There is no politician out there who truly has your interests at heart. Even if there is, they're alone (e.g. Ron Paul and I don't even agree with the majority of his platform).
I think it is telling that you chose to only respond to half of my comment. NO, it is not legal for them to break traffic laws for non-emergencies. It is also illegal for an officer to search my house without a valid search warrant. Furthermore it is illegal for an officer to discharge his weapon on Main Street for no particular reason.

That being said they can do all of these things legally in the furtherance of their duties (your "delimited circumstances") as law enforcement officers. This is precisely why it is silly to speak of "a double standard," law enforcement officers are different from civilians. How would a society enforce the rule of law if we were equals?
bin laden & co. knew the NSA process took 72 hours and adjusted their communications accordingly. the operational aspects (read: deficiencies) of many "important" monitoring functions is widely known by those who "need" to know.

As everything must eventually exit the VM to use hardware or certain features, you have more control over the boundary. On iOS, as you run native code, you could theoretically do direct device access in assembly and the OS has far less control over that. It is also possible to inspect the bytecode for a Java program and know with much more certainty what it's going to try and do, which instructions it will try and run, etc.
Odd, although not unique. "Terrorist training camp" centres me near-ish to Mountain View as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a "if null" that defaults to the Googleplex. I guess these searches are getting filtered in some way and the default is kicking in.
I think the number of ways the a country as big and powerful and geographically isolated and culturally diverse as the USA is different than a rich western democracy is out of scope of a forum comment. But I think the short answer is that your woes generally fall into 2 categories: fallout from slavery/racism (prison, capital punishment) and stuff that has to do with terrorism/being the sole hegemonic power in the world (torture...etc.).
My surprise was directed at the fact that people have this in a system advertised as democratic. I am quite well-acquainted with cases like those you quote.
Using a VPN for piracy is no different than using open wifi for piracy. Most children over the age of 10 can circumvent a "safety filter" on a computer. IMHO these are non-issues.
"Europeans would be already in the street by now for a lot less than this."

Some Europeans. Former East Germans, Greeks, most of those in the eastern European countries, Spain, Portugal. People of a certain age in those countries can remember what living under a dictatorship was like.
Tarsnap - Online backups for the truly paranoid
Ok, I'll bite. What sort of hypothetical could warrant such an action, intentionally leaking this story?

Do they want to reassure us of their best efforts in protecting us from terrorism?

I can't imagine a scenario existing where the tables might eventually turn & those who were once appalled & angry that the NSA was so into everything change their minds and become reassured that the gov't is actually on their game & has the means to get some outrageous terrorist threat we couldn't have imagined under control again because of their broad wiretapping capabilities.
obamaischeckingyouremail.tumblr.com
Please. This is not about can we trust them because someone leaked, any civic-minded person would have done what he did if they had big enough balls. Are we trying to say that out of the thousands of employees the NSA has no one else but this one guy felt there was something wrong with this program?
Interested to hear HN feedback on these points
The only problem with tarsnap is that it uses AWS, or did as of the last time I talked with Colin. I would love to see it move off onto a less personally annoying service, but its service to do with as he pleases.
hgroup has been dropped from the spec.

figcaption is actually quite popular now. Most newly-developed "html5" websites use it.

You don't have a clue what it is. What you should realize, though is that a lot of people are up in arms about this. Do you think you're smarter than all of them? From this post alone, I see a resounding no.

Education is a signal of quality, which in the absence of other credible signals is the one to fall back to. If you are an Edison or a Tesla, it may not matter to you.
"If you are asked to do something to which you are morally opposed, and out of fear for personal loss you do not make your voice of opposition clearly heard, then you are a coward."

... or you are a victim of abuse and crime. I don't think I can fault people with top secret clearance for keeping their mouths shut (at least not all of them) and continuing doing what they're told. Basically the same scandal that rocked the Catholic Church might soon rock our government. It's a fine line though, because at a certain point, you're no longer the victim but the abuser/criminal perpetuating the cycle of evil.

I would kill for good ruby support in all browsers. As someone learning Japanese it would be a godsend when it comes to reading and learning kanji.

However we would also need to pretty specialised editors / automatic converters to write the ruby markup since it is so $&~!@#^ verbose.

I still find it ironic that the browser with the best (i.e. working) ruby support is Internet Explorer. (I am aware of some firefox plugins but...ech)

Ask HN: browser extension to encrypt emails in gmail client-side
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of a browser extension that hooks into the gmail interface and can encrypt the contents of an email before sending it.

It's always a problem to make security available for the masses (and actually secure!). Here's how I'd do it if I had to set one up.

The Chrome extension would prevent gmail from reading the email fields, preventing the saving of drafts server-side. On sending the email it would encrypt the content with a key that is unique per receiving address. If the client has the extension installed it can decrypt the contents automatically on display.

The problem is getting the decryption key across to the recipient securely, but that only has to be done once. After that the browser extension can hold it indefinitely. It could be done with a trusted third party site, which only holds the key for a very short time, and only for the first email sent to a new recipient. Power users could of course use their own ways of getting keys across.
No, I'll be putting some of my traffic through Cloudflare as we use several domain names, and each for a specific purpose.
Putting a better UX or UI has been considered for PGP/GPG a very long time, and if you really reflect on that topic, you'll learn that a fancy interface or UX won't solve anything.

Foolproof software is operated by fools. Facebook has only proven that to an extent that you simply can't deny it anymore.

If fools use PGP/GPG, they will compromise you by putting the message in the subject and encrypting their disclaimer/footer.

OTR uses, iirc, AES and DH-kex, that are the same basic building blocks like RSA and AES or any other symmetric cipher you like to use for PGP/GPG/SSL. OTR adds deniability which is fancy for privacy but won't do for other scenarios (like business, money, profit), it works fine in one to one sessions, but group sessions are off the record.

We can conclude that OTR is fine for chat, sorry to hear google dropped the interoperability protocol in hangouts, take a wild guess why.

PGP/GPG can sent to group-messages (one message encryped for multiple recipients and may optional provide proof of the sender), does not imply any protocol like XMPP, and stores messags in a secure manner too. The drawback is, you have to take care of your private-key and your friens, partners, business-associates public-keys.

If somebody really inists that key management sucks with GPG/PGP let them do some key management and distribution only with a symmetric cipher.

Key-Managment with PGP/GPG is a light, soft breeze compared to that. Some people even used it as an excuse to party.

I understand why people have dropped privacy and anonmyity, it is no fun to follow procedure and there are so less benefits compared to every other social media app, it is so comfy to state you have nothing to hide and not care about the implications.

With PGP/GPG you won't have 600 friends, that means caring about 600 keys, that is basically one revoke a week if you are lucky and all you friends master crypto and revoking and getting their new key signed.

If you want to understand a bit crypto it may take a good tutor to teach you the very basic concepts and history of using crypto within 2 schooldays, 16h (and they'll hate you afterwards and they won't pay that).

Im using Duplicity but am looking at tarsnap.
The US legal system is only accessible by citizens of the USA.

It should be of no surprise then, that citizens of other countries have no ability to protect themselves from over-reaching laws and actions by the US government.
That might change... and not only for reasons related to privacy.

I live in EU and I remember that about two or three years ago every geek's wet dream was to get to Silicon Valley and build a startup. But that seems to be changing. I don't have any research to back it up - it's just some anecdotal evidence but many people now seem to consider alternatives like London or Chile... mostly because they are afraid of software patents and want to stay out of US jurisdiction.

These things are difficult to asses but there is a tipping point somewhere - once critical mass is achieved innovation can quickly move somewhere else. Fear of American government can help make it happen and I am sure that competitors are going to love playing that card.
