The very idea that a CEO would respond in an online forum about this kind of thing is ridiculous. To make such a poor argument, on top of the poor judgement to even comment, is inexcusable.
Gavin Belson would be the only "person" I'd expect to do this.

They made the same whining complaints about radio and taping radio, etc, etc.
The people that only listen to music on YouTube are cash poor and wouldn't buy their stuff anyway, no loss of revenue. The same people that used to tape music off the radio.
The people that have cash tend to/find/ music on YouTube then go and buy a decent copy of it that they can keep without having to download it every time they want to listen to it, or fiddle about with a downloader to scrape YouTube and demux the mp3. Cutting these people off will just see a loss of revenue.
What they actually want is free advertising and to be paid for the privilege, which is pretty breathtaking in it's audacity.
You're also describing the "party line" telephone system, and before that standing in the street and shouting at your neighbours.
While privacy may be claimed to be new construct by some people, that's simply because it wasn't terribly difficult to achieve previously. You just had to talk softly or write letters instead of postcards. And you WILL find that the expectation of privacy exists in the physical mail service, to pretend that it doesn't in email etc is convenient bullshit that corporate/government have pushed through since it suited their agendas.
The stupid part is once you have ubiquitous monitoring in place, and known to be in place, you don't catch the real criminals. They revert to code talking anyway.
I've done the SME model too, and it sucks, and they simply don't get hired by government/large corporations because their boards would crucify management if something went wrong.
Remember, you're talking about a company with revenue in the billions.
Well no, it's not, but the problem as you say isn't insurmountable. You lose PFS by using the same key for every transaction, but realistically if it's anonymised data then that shouldn't be a big issue either, if it IS data that people would be upset at being transmitted in the "clear" then it shouldn't be sent anyway.
I guess you could roll the keys once a month to reduce the vanishing "risk" of someone breaking a 2048 bit key for telemetry data.
The complaint I keep seeing is not that the information is sent, but that we can't see what information is sent. There are two solutions to that problem:
A) Send the information in plaintext. Of course, then (as I already mentioned), people will complain that the data is being sent in plaintext. or B) Store a plaintext log of the telemetry data for the user to review. Of course, then, people will point out that, because it's sent over an encrypted connection, there is no way to verify what's actually being sent.
Of course there is. Publish the public encryption key and you can confirm the plaintext encrypted with that key matches the data transmitted.
In reality they have hundreds of these conversations and the updates were an add-on at the end. It's never a 30 minute engagement and besides, if you were actually a security consultant* you'd know the cost of sales for a 1 hour engagement means you won't get anyone that's not completely useless to sign on for that. I've never even seen a contract for a/day/ and you're suggesting 3x 1 hour engagements? That's laughable.
That's not to say outsourcing security is a bad idea, but your proposal sucks.
*I have no idea what your security expertise might be, but you clearly know jack about consulting.
OSX is "available to the masses" in the same way that business class air travel is.
The next time I have $3k lying around to try OSX and decide if I want a really expensive Windows laptop, I guess I can see if it's really improved that much since Leopard..
SSH came with a provable security benefit and didn't silently fail, this change is merely an opinion of best practice and forces a poorly documented change on an unsuspecting public.
Try a better analogy, like "we're doing it this way now because Daddy said so."
As long as you're not confusing this "research" with Science, because it's hardly a double blind study is it? As the GP posits, the internet, cookies, dynamic hosting, etc, all makes a proper study trivially possible by serving the same article with a different author to groups of unaware readers and collecting their comments in isolation to the other groups.
I had to give up reading The Register because it became a climate denial opinionfest, but before I did I could/always/ tell when I was reading an Andrew Orlowski piece by the rage inspired by his idiocy long before I checked the by-line.
Maybe there's some selection bias for "controversial" minority journalists by editors? Who knows, certainly not the authors of this "study".
Sure, the point wasn't about the outlier though. It was about the "average". He even acknowledged the exception to the rule, albeit I guess not quite up to his rabid levels of passion, and that those women rise just as high.
It's not that it's particularly insightful, or that passionate necessarily means good. I've met a lot of idiots that were keen as mustard.
Yeah, so if it takes 1 Calorie to raise 1cc of water 1K, and 1 Joule to raise 1cc of water 100m, how many Btus does it take to make an ounce of tea on Everest?
You can pick if it's a US or imperial ounce, but of course you'll need to express that in your answer.

Mmm yeah, I don't use the service for the same reason I didn't shop at Walmart when I lived in the US...
Tipping the driver isn't a solution for the problem of Uber running at a loss to deflate the market either.
I'm reminded of:

B: Hi bored, I'm dad
A: I'm \0
B: Hi
A: I'm AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
B: Hi A*segfaults*
That guy is a embarrassment.

If you took up rounding up muslims and gassing them, and someone said you were the only country to do it, you'd point at Germany then?
You really wanna use Dubai as a defense? Cute.
What advertising execs know about maths can be written on the back of a postage stamp, then discarded as the ramblings of a lunatic.

If that were true then why are the Chinese investing heavily in alternative energy?
And why do the Dutch prefer anal to regular intercourse in all cases other than when trying to procreate?
One of those might have been made up, but given both don't have attribution, I guess I'm almost as full bore retarded as you are.
Ray Morris is a bit too common a name to Google.

It's as valid a layer as any other, sure as hell worked for the code talkers. But it's a layer, not a panacea.
People often confuse "incomplete" with "worthless".
