Update on the Metam*sk/Infura controversy:
Their parent (Consensys) says they have never/won't sell data (what about share?), will aim for 7-day data retention, and promise a "comprehensive redesign" of their privacy policy.
Good start, but keep going.

The hardest work was done by @bunniestudios. In the end, we freely published our research in an academic journal (you can read here: tjoe.org/pub/direct-rad…) so anybody from the mobile industry (and the third-party gadget ecosystem) could adopt and commercialize the techniques. twitter.com/SamRoseAuthor/…

NSO has no way to know if anyone has done this in the past—or is continuing to do this right now. Exploit code can be caught and copied.
Just as with a biological virus, it takes just a single digital infection for the possibility of retransmission—and mutation. Ban the trade. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

This article, on US spy agencies' self-awareness of the legal weakness of their drone-killing program, is the first fresh document I've seen published from the archive in years.

@RepMTG Speaking up in defense of Julian Assange is a brave thing in Congress, and I do hope you'll continue. Given recent administrations' own cavalier handling of classified, it's past time for gov to correct its error in persecuting Assange for publishing stories of public importance.

NFTs have been amazingly successful for tech charities. The only @torproject NFT just reached $500k! Less than five minutes left to bid! There's a real battle going between @jespow and @PleasrDAO (who also won my charity NFT). twitter.com/foundation/sta…

3) Bitcoin's disastrous privacy is the "missing stair" of cryptocurrency. Every expert understands it's a problem, but—as experts—they themselves know how to compensate for the risk in their own personal interactions with Bitcoin, and therefore feel no urgency to actually fix it.

Dieser Post ist Bilds altem Sex-Raubtier gewidmet, das versucht, mit Verschwörungstheorien von seinem eigenen Fehlverhalten abzulenken. Es ist nichts Mysteriöses daran, das Denken eines Habermas dem einer Boulevardzeitung vorzuziehen.

Here is the well-qualified final word on the Secretary of State's "This is not Saigon" statement——from a Vietnam vet (1965-1966), reporter among the last to be evacuated from Saigon (1975), who also covered the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (1980).

Contrast the @washingtonpost's half-hearted editorial, suggesting with downcast eyes that Israel and Saudi Arabia could perhaps stamp a few more papers before next murdering one of their columnists, with the Guardian invoking moratorium and liability: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“We should have known what was to come and, looking back at the public record, I think that on an intellectual level many of us did know. But the elite relentlessly repeated that the choice here was obvious: a guarantee of life or a certainty of death.” theguardian.com/world/2021/sep…

Il est facile d’oublier, maintenant, combien de temps tout le monde s’est battu pour que cela se produise, et très franchement, à quel point il était improbable que nous puissions réussir. Quelle fin heureuse rare et extraordinaire!

Pension funds forced to place risky bets to avoid losing ground as staff issue warnings.
