Actually, there's an EFF sponsored tool for that (written in collaboration with the Tor project) for both Chrome and Firefox:

There are easy answers here: there should be no program at all. Terrorism is no legitimate threat to the US and never has been. Any time you give the government the ability to override checks and balances, they are already abusing that ability (and usually want it applied to previous behavior so they can't be prosecuted for past infractions).
"and shareholders who care more about profits than morals."

Well, I don't know what your prejudices about shareholders are, but I know a few of them and they really care about morals, probably much more than average Joe.

Anyway, making a super State that controls everything goes against shareholder's interest as history shows the first thing super states do is eliminate competitors altogether.

You know Mr Adolf Hitler asked again for more business contributions to his party. They were angry to be asked again so they put a condition in place: "Only if you don't ask again in a long time". Hitler smiled and say:" Don't worry, it is the last time I ask you for contributions."

It was.
Metadata cannot be protected as well as the actual content can. One of the keys of good security is to ask what has to be compromised for your data to be compromised, though. If you have SSL-protected connections, BCG hijacking alone isn't going to reveal your communications but BCG hijacking along with a fake certificate issued by a trusted CA under court order or merely voluntarily) would allow a MITM attack.

The thing is, if you have your own CA, and expect certs from both sides from the same CA, then it is very hard for an MITM attack of this sort to be orchestrated because you can say, "Something isn't right here." So that leaves attacks against the cyphers involved or against the endpoints.

One service we offer is an ability to use an SSL cert issued by the customer, as well as appropriate VPN options to connect to the system at all. Between these, in general I would expect that MITM approaches can be protected against in high security configurations. But that still leaves cyphers and endpoints.

So the first thing we need is a better PKI which can more robustly handle fraudulent certificates. This is something I have written about a bit. (see my blog, http://ledgersmbdev.blogspot.com for more.) But we also need a lot more.

BTW, we build everything on the basis of compartmentalized security with the idea that compromising customer data will require working through quite a bit of depth, particularly in relatively high security configurations. It wouldn't protect against a court order, but it should protect against a lot of other things.

Could the NSA hack us? I am sure they could. Could we make it difficult enough that they would be much better going through legal channels (maybe making deals with local law enforcement or the like)? That's what I am shooting for. It is probably the best one really can shoot for.
Clearly their "core values" differ from mine. And America's.

Given Apple signed up to PRISM what's the point? Do you trust OSX?
Yes, children this young are totally able to use their skills responsibly. If you think it's necessary to eavesdrop on your kids, read all their private communications --- how will they ever trust you?

If you want to find out about a teenager's life, you'd be surprised how far talking to them will get you. Don't talk at them, don't interrogate them; just be interested without judging them. Most kids, like most grownups, are happy to trust and share secrets with anybody who understands them.

If you spied on your kids, and eg. found out they took drugs, what would you do? If you don't understand their situation, their point of view, there's nothing you could do to help them.

But if you do understand their situation, you won't need to spy on them; you'll feel it when they need your help. You'll be able to provide guidance, and since you didn't violate their trust, your kids just might accept your help.
It's not MBAs specifically. It's the business consulting mindset in general that MBAs are taught. Costco wouldn't want for MBAs to come in and do consulting on how to improve their operations because those guys wouldn't have the necessary respect for what Costco finds valuable, which does include their on-the-ground work and unique culture.

MBA pattern recognition and recommendations would work well (hopefully) when the situation fits the pattern. Costco is clearly a non-standard retailer, so the question is how MBAs would respond to such non-standard patterns, and whether their recommendations would be good for the long term of that business. Maybe they would offer up excellent advice, maybe not. Costco is just erring on the side of caution and preferring their "home-grown" MBAs, rather than "standard" MBAs.

Other than one minority party MP trying to win votes, what makes you think Iceland would be better? Iceland has an extradition treaty with the US, is a NATO member and the current conservative government doesn't show any desire to piss off the Americans.
Because it's a nice piece of hardware?

I really enjoy it and they all last long. I use both Linux and OSX.
Keep in mind that it is a verified fact [1] that the NSA knew about differential cryptanalysis in 1976, when they reinforced DES against it (it turns out that they did not build in a weakness, rather the reverse). That technique was discovered in 1990 ... it seems lots of mathematicians does help.

That's because the log was already colored (the word "fail" in red). As colout tries to color the whole line, the previous end escape character is interpreted by the terminal before the last one :

<red>* This is a colored line [<red>fail<end>]</end>

(You can use the `--debug` switch of colout to get hints about such problems).
I expect most countries either monitor traffic endpoints or capture data. I know the one one in which I live does.
That means the best option is not to use wholely owned subsidiaries and instead have a partnership with the parent owning a large plurality but non-controlling interest (say 10 partners from various countries, with the parent owning 49.9% of the subsidiary). You can set the agenda, more or less run things how you want, but anything you try to do as shareholder can be vetoed by the other 9 acting in unison.
I doubt many people will leave American companies real soon there are just not many good alternatives at the moment but given a choice between an American company and say one in a more privacy oriented country that advertises its position properly people may think twice.

Nobody seems to mention that the intelligence agencies of the world deal with information and their not shy of selling it.
Say for instance a revolution is brewing over Facebook in a country the US would like to keep as is how likely is it that the CIA would provide intelligence to that country to stop the revolution?

Facebook may be a tool for revolution but it can be a tool to stop revolution as well and the US government gets to decide which one will it be.

I'd rather they stay out of it and the only way to do that is to not use US services.
I think an AI could be made to be pretty good at laning, at least against a static set of 1 or 2 opponents without others coming in.
Wuala: Secure Cloud Storage
I am evaluating this cloud service since yesterday, and it looks promising so far. Since data are not stored un-encrypted on the company servers, it means that there is not a web access to files, but I am not missing this feature that much. Real-time syncing works fine, although it seems to be a bit slower comparing to Dropbox.
>allies

No, we're vassals. The USA orders and we obey, whether it's supporting their military machine or handing over information, people, research, or economical advantages. It's a hegemony.

>the misdeeds that seems to have returned from the dark ages

You've been fed propaganda. The crimes have always been there. The USA has always supported tyranny, cruelty, and crimes against humanity if it served its best interests (like every other country, I might add.)

>we deserve the same protection as American citizens

If the government wants someone naked, chained, and tortured in some foreign place, it'll happen. No matter who it is. True? Maybe not (yet), but it's telling enough that it sounds plausible, no?
Will there be LiveStream tonight directly from Apple?
> You send data in plaintext and are surprised that the NSA might be reading/logging it?

I live in Europe, it's true, but even so I would expect my Government not to enter my house without a proper warrant, even though I've only locked the door once when I left for office this morning. And when I'm mentioning "proper warrant" I'm thinking about Stalin's "Great Purge", which did use the Soviet legal system of the time that I find no worse than today's "secret courts". A parody of justice is not justice.

>Why do people seem to suddenly care? You can't say it's because, "We have more information," because we really don't. People suddenly care about privacy?

Now, I don't have my finger on the pulse of the everyman... not by a longshot. But within my own echo chamber? all those things were pretty big deals. As you said, nobody else cared, yeah. But they were a big deal to the news I read.

My question to you, is "Does anyone care about this?" I mean, I know I care, and I know my own echo chamber is all shook up, but if my "media bubble" mattered? we'd have been on IPv6 a decade ago.

So yeah. what does Fox news have to say about this? Hm. Looking, it's got something about how Ron Paul is worked up, but the other bits there seem to be about how much jailtime the whistleblower is getting. There's a neutral to positive article about what the NSA does.

Go to npr.org, for the mainstream left, and there's an opinion piece calling Obama "big brother" - so I guess that's something?

We'll see how long the stories last. But yeah... I think you are mistaking your own media bubble for the world as a whole. My guess? The average Facebook user is going to shrug and keep using facebook.

Hell, this is going to be a big deal for me (as most of my customers also live in the same media bubble or echo chamber or whatever you want to call it as I do.) - I don't have any real response, either. (I've been talking about setting up customer portals where you can see all log data I have about you... but that's hard to do well enough that I can honestly say "This is ALL the data I have about you," and it's not like I don't have a whole bunch of other work to do, and really? as a VPS provider, well, most of what I log is access to your serial console and the like. Really, everything the NSA would want would be within your VPS. Well, that and the ip -> billing data mapping, but I think you know I'm keeping that.)

"In its response filed with the FISC today, the government offers a circular argument, asserting that only the Executive Branch can de-classify the opinion, but that it is somehow prohibited by the FISC rules from doing so."

It seems to me the FISA Court still has the power the make the ruling public, even if the government classified it. It wouldn't be the first time a judge overrules classified information, right?

It seems to me the judges are accomplices to the government (why would they still grant the warrants, if they already found it unconstitutional?), and even if there was some kind of conflict in the law, I assume they would know this could go to the Supreme Court and it would be solved there.

If you're paranoid, use QubesOS and run Retroshare and other things in isolated VMs. I loved Retroshare except for the part of never being able to delete stuff you posted.
As long as they can subpoena the endpoint, it's mitigated.

If they can compromise/coerce/control a root CA, then everything is largely moot.
Sweden has no realistic leverage here. Why would a foreign company wanting to host something there give out those when there are alternatives? (Like, say, Iceland.)
I'm not suggesting that I can safeguard user privacy, but doing something is better than doing nothing, and certainly I can do what I am able to. Ultimately the user is far more likely to give up their privacy by posting identifiable information online, and through graph analysis revealing their associates too.

What I can do though is: Leave the core data in Europe, not store anything that I do not need to offer the service (and I don't need your real identity), educate users and encourage the use of Tor and VPNs, implement what measures I can do protect users (SSL).
I positively hate single-signons via FB or Twitter, but it is getting increasingly hard to keep your profiles separate between different social media sites.

And the social and job pressure is mounting - don't use Google Docs? Makes you look old-fashioned or too stubborn. Don't like to share your calendar via Google? People will get mad because you are obstructing their work flow.

So if you don't want to limit your social connections, you practically have to throw your data to the street.
Will there is Livestream this year?
Is it that hard for them to control the root CA? How can we verify that? Someone should probably look into it.
Yes, but that you can identify one right that governments can/should afford non-citizens and citizens alike doesn't mean that's true of all rights. Venomsnake was trying to identify the kind of right that it should be true for.

As a British citizen I have a right to not be tortured by the government (under A.3 HRA1998), and a right to NHS healthcare. The former (a negative right) is one the government should afford to the whole world. The latter (a positive right) is not.
I own (and love) an 11" Macbook Air.

Best quality ultrabook hardware on the market (at least when bought my MBA, thing may have changed recently), everything works out of the box (compared to installing Linux), their trackpad is the only trackpad that actually works. These are the big points.

Two smaller points is that they have a more significant retail presence than any other laptop manufacturer, meaning that I can see and try all their laptops before buying it and the they are the only laptop manufacturer that are happy to sell me a laptop with a US keyboard layout outside of the US at no extra cost.

As for OS X, I'm honestly not a huge fan. Sure it works and gets the job done, but I bought the MBA despite rather than because of OS X.

>Could we make it difficult enough that they would be much better going through legal channels (maybe making deals with local law enforcement or the like)? That's what I am shooting for. It is probably the best one really can shoot for.

Yeah; my point was just that getting to that point (where it's easier for them to go through legal channels) is harder than it looks. It's certainly not the default state.
Or the politicians just used this as way to forward their agenda.
We (here in .au) had a 4 term Prime Minister defend reneging on election promises by claiming they were "non-core promises" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Government )

The scary thing? That was his _first_ term, and "we" voted him in three more times...

Every other laptop I've ever owned, I always carried a mouse. Not so with my Macbook Air.
Drone strikes are also different. They represent currently a sort of danger to the world I don't think people really appreciate because they allow an elite to control more firepower with fewer henchmen than is possible otherwise. Air strikes are nothing new but in the past you had to contend with the fact that enough people might disobey orders to force a change of plans. With drones, the number of people you rely on is far less.

I remember a story that on 9/11 orders were issued to shoot down any aircraft left in the sky and that fighter pilots refused to carry out the order. How would things be different if it was 8 specially trained anti-terrorist folks commanding largely autonomous drones?

It let's you surf over SSL but has a black and a whitelist.
The Microsoft certificate revokation list for Flame:

Microsoft is providing an update for all supported releases of Microsoft Windows. The update revokes the trust of the following intermediate CA certificates:

Microsoft Enforced Licensing Intermediate PCA (2 certificates)
Microsoft Enforced Licensing Registration Authority CA (SHA1)

(from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2718704)

Two of the certs were MD5, the third was SHA1.
Recording of NSA arguing for weaker encryption (1976)
The only difference is that https-everywhere is trying to play nice and works only on some web sites that have been tested with the extension. It doesn't work "everywhere". Panic Mode, on the other hand, forces the user over SSL regardless if the other end supports or doesn't support SSL. This means that Panic Mode wont work for general browsing because you will quickly realise that most web sites do not support SSL or use self-signed certificates, etc.

However, my personal opinion is that sometimes it is better for things to be broken than to be sorry. If a web site breaks while Panic Mode is on and you care about your privacy, either something fishy is going on or the site is simply not good for this.

Panic Mode is more like poor man's VPN tunnel. Https-everywhere is good but can be fooled in some situations to leak sensitive information.

When People Look Back on Their Lives, What Are Some Common Regrets They Have?
That make a huge assumption, that you can work within the constraints of the Institution and not become institutionalised in the process.

The reason that governments (I'm in the UK) keep on doing this is that by its nature institutions will naturally gravitate towards this kind of behaviour, so it becomes self reinforcing.

Is it enough to just vote? Possibly not. Those peers of yours, the people you grew up with, one day they might be in Government, but don't expect them to be different from the last lot.

We need more radical action to re-establish a new relationship between a government and its people; What we have now works in many ways, but clearly it has its limits that need to be addressed.
Not great for general browsing indeed. However, it is indispensable for things that matter like banking, etc. I personally feel safer in some situation when I know that every single packet is forced over SSL and there is not even a single request that goes out over plain-text HTTP.
As we know by now, map search is a) local and b) personal. So if you want to share map search results, try sharing it like this:

Not really a surprise, given the role of nuclear deterrence in NATO strategy.
> Yeah; my point was just that getting to that point (where it's easier for them to go through legal channels) is harder than it looks. It's certainly not the default state.

As we went through our initial design, and started talking to others, it became quite clear that the being industry standard when it came to security is not something that either myself nor my business partner were comfortable with. We opted to start looking at everything very carefully and review eachothers' works regarding security, suggesting improvement, etc.

It's one of the reasons we decided to go hosted cloud first and only later multi-tenant.
This didn't surprise me at all. It's logical: if the company is U.S. based, it's susceptible to the Patriot act.
Show HN: A new set of BackboneJS views to speed up developments
That is not such a big problem. When a government does something like that in the open you can use appropriate protection if you feel you need it. There is not information asymmetry. You just remove all sweden related certificates from the CA bundle and use VPN to other country.

If tomorrow the US says openly - we collect all data you send to Apple,Facebook,Google and Yahoo although stupid you can use or not them depending on how you feel about it.
Yes sure, that's why i recommended the other extension (which i am using).
Because there are still a lot of sites out there that break or don't work over SSL at all.
