You only do the uploading of the image. The service does the striping and jurisdictionally diverse storage.

Drive that station wagon full of tapes to a port and have the station wagon loaded into a cargo container? :-)

OK. That's not the problem I was trying to address, but I think striping can help here too.

Rather than an additive approach use a subtractive approach. For instance instead of each site having only 1 of 3 pieces, it has 2 of 3 pieces - 1 piece missing. Each site is missing some number of stripes, so a single entity can not read on its own. However there would be redundancy in that any particular stripe is in more than one jurisdiction. So coordination between jurisdictions is need for both release and denial. Again, not foolproof.

Upload the file(s) as a single encrypted image file. Break that image into stripes. Store each stripe and the decryption key in a different legal jurisdiction? Not foolproof but it does make it more difficult for a single entity.

Probably a false flag operation to identify potential whistleblowers. :-)

So the blade was matte black rather than silver?

That business is **not** what is traded on the NYSE under BABA. What is actually traded is a Cayman Islands "variable-interest entity". It seems that foreigners are not allowed to own shares in the business you describe.

You seem to be speaking of Alibaba the Chinese retailer, so you are off on a tangent since that is not what US investors are putting their money into.

What US investors are buying is interest in a Cayman Island “variable-interest entity”. Stockholders won't have the usual influence on corporate governance or management, such as it is. My understanding is that Chinese law doesn't allow foreigners to own a Chinese strategic asset. So this Cayman Island entity was created.

No, a "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO fan. Its a great show, the guests/debate often interesting, but fact filled when Bill is speaking -- not quite.

Wolves will kill members of other packs that trespass on their pack's hunting range. Within a pack killing is extremely rare. The fighting within a pack is dominance and discipline related, it will almost always stop short of serious injury or death.

You are wrong about 2+2=5 being impossible. Any C++ programmer can accomplish that. :-)

Was Blackberry ever secure? I thought that they always had the user's encryption key. No backdoors or changes necessary. It was simply that the government demanded that they turn over the user keys that they already possessed.

Or your fingerprint, and where would the police get your fingerprint?

Also wouldn't download and usage be better metrics of user behavior than the developer release/update schedule?
