Comment Re:The chain of trust is broken. (Score 1) 110

The technology to finally create the web of trust exists: cell phones, NFC/barcode scanner on phone, push notification (to nag you to connect to nearby friends)

The technology for more secure communication and authentication exists: smart cards (not yet compatible with cell phones)

There is clearly not a need yet for users to join the web of trust.

I'm pretty sure that if Steve Jobs was around and if the damage to Apple's reputation outvalued their good relationship with government then he would find a morally justifiable solution.

Comment Not PHP (Score 1) 230

Can't you just use use documentation to set your variables' type and then use a PHP compiler to check if you broke the rules?

Then you can still use the baseline or any compatible PHP runtime and use documentation-completeness + compiling tools to tell you if you are following the more strict rules.
