I'm sure part of the NSA's task isn't just compromising root CA's, but shutting down those who refuse to cooperate.
You may recall that even though lavabit shut down voluntarily the feds are still after them trying to get them busted on contempt charges for pulling the plug on themselves.
And honestly, with all the hackers out there I'd rather they spend their time protecting us FROM hacks than making other people easier to crack.
Sure, it's an arms race and things will filter out eventually, but I think we can stay further ahead of the encryption arms race by investing in our own cybersecurity first, rather than trying to leave exploits we can use to snoop on everyone else.
I would rather let ten terrorists go free than invade the privacy of even one innocent citizen.
Because it's THEIR lawn and they don't HAVE to give YOU a job.
Whoever pleases THEM best gets at the front of the line, and if you're desperate for work you should learn to respect the authority of whoevers lawn you're tracking mud on.
It's not really fair, but considering the social backlash going on these days, respect for those in power even on a private level might not be such a bad idea just on strategic grounds.

You might be onto something.
Umpires are sent to umpire school, no matter what kind of prior experience they have, in the words of the school to "break bad habits"
Then they are sent to the minor leagues and get trained with experience and then drafted for positions into the majors.
Now, if copyright holders were given similiar training to earn the privilege of holding a corporate copyright it would help too wouldn't it?
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
You only need compromised once to leak your data forever.
Federal law states somewhere that failure to report a crime is itself a crime.
Aiding and abetting perjury and obstruction of justice more like.

Who wants to bet that Trusted Computing will be co-opted to trust the NSA?
Maybe the comber was an informant?
Tell that to the NSA.

Fucking false dilemma and you know it.
The feds can snoop OTHERS without snooping US.

Res judicata means that anything Microsoft extorted in the past they get to keep.
Who wants to bet that chinese intelligence was involved in this?
IF they're your boss THEN you talk to them however they damn well tell you to.

Corporate culture is at the discretion of whoever is in charge, end of discussion.
I'ts the talent market's job to regulate the culture, not yours.
Just more of the same "don't piss off or irk someone who has the power to kick you out of the job"
If the homeowner does not care about security, it's his house, you have no right to barge in and rub his nose in his problems.
Just let him get robbed

Takes one to know one.
I'm more worried about the government giving full access to hackers.
Exposed indeed.
What are the chances they could have voluntarily revealed themselves?
There's also reduction of losses from competition.
Would we agree if we knew what was really going on?
interstate commerce. general welfare.
