Boy, kids sure say “hot grits” differently these days

Not me, not until they've been out for a year and I can tell there aren't any major issues like this. Even then maybe not. Been an Apple customer since 2010.

You really should just read the indictment, you will get a very different picture. They were really only supporting Trump. They “supported” Hillary with false-flag operations designed to lend legitimacy to Trump supporters, e.g. posing as supporters while holding up signs with fake quotes about Hillary supporting Sharia law, etc. They obviously did care which side won.

Uh, yes they were, actually. £35m in profits were distributed. That's 30% of their £105m total revenue.

So, what, are you saying their net margin was something like 70-80% and the other 40-50% of that money got transferred offshore? That seems implausible but if you have some kind of source I'd be open to reading it.

So what you're saying is...you would be in favor of distributing profits among all employees? Which is what I said also. Yes inequality is a problem that's why I said what I said. I'm befuddled why you would essentially agree with me but phrase it as though you're taking a contrary position.

Right but so what? I didn't say it was likely to be supported by non-participating shareholders. If we only proposed changes that already had the support of every stakeholder nothing would change, ever.

This is actually the way I'd like to see all businesses work. Distribute profits among all employees and tax it as individual income. In a time of stagnant wages and rising inequality what about this practice is bad?

I'd say we definitely need something besides Cryptocat:

"Cryptocat is run by people that don't know crypto, make stupid mistakes, and not enough eyes are looking at their code to find the bugs. Cryptographers know the minimums or at least know you should look them up. Cryptocat tried PBKDF2, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECC and managed to mess them all up because they used iterations or key sizes less than the minimums. There was a bug in the generation of ECC private keys that went unchecked for 347 days."

(As far as the competence of the people behind heml.is, I can't say one way or the other.)

Nice job ignoring the violent crime chart.

The MSDN article I cited above mentions "Police in Malaysia are hunting for the members of a violent gang who chopped off a car owner’s finger to get round the vehicle’s hi-tech security system"...

Yep, that's a serious issue.

There is a difference between identity and authentication, and that difference is lost when one uses biometric identity measures for authentication.

Great writeup on this from 2006 over at MSDN

Short version: identify and authentication must remain distinct if you want to have a system where users are held responsible for their actions.

The difference is rather subtle in this case. The effectiveness of the document would be unchanged if it said "right" instead of power.
