>> Additionally the NSA's own documents released by Edward Snowden showed that the NSA can't break current TOR releases.
That was 2007.
Other things you couldn't do in 2007:
* Use an iPhone
* Use a Samsung Galaxy
* Use What's App
* Read anything except "this housing boom will go on forever!" in the news
In other words, that was forever ago.
Where is a more recent credible assessment of adversary capabilities specifically to the TOR network?
The entity that benefits most from bastardization of ICANN is... Google.
You can always find Google and Google can always find where you want to go. And now typing addresses into the address bar is about to get more painful.
>> just that generally, VISA requires you to tell them who you are when you create an account
And of course anyone who has had their credit card copied (they don't even steal them nowadays) you will know that a merchant will process transactions even without having your name.
DDOS causes more lost money than other "security" breaches. Therefore it is a top priority of companies and by extension public/private partnerships.
Of course, this is an asymmetric attack and you can't stop it. In other words, it is a democratizing attack.
When I worked with the FBI on security issues in the financial sector, I was disgusted by how little attention and funds were available to fix problems like unauthorized transactions but attention is available for issues like this.
I would like to take this opportunity to note that my 2014 New Years resolution was completed successfully by deleting Facebook (after 10 years) in 2013.
I am pretty sure if your boss left his password on a post it on your desk and did not explicitly tell you to use it, and then you login as him using that password, that you would be liable under the Computer Fraud Act.
You can easily design a system with good anonymity and low-latency: arrange your network like a daisy chain. Timing and statistical attacks are useless when SNR is that low.
Also, remember back in the day when people in power were afraid to interviewed by 60 minutes. Do we have any real journalism like this anymore? And how do I support this journalism?
"We're only targeting fulltext of 60 Americans" = "We have 60 full-time-equivalent analysts (3 shifts) targeting Americans. Each human can only target one person at a time, computers do pre-targeting so humans only need to listen to one minute of speech to make a snap judgement"
Result 60*1440*365 = 30 million Americans are targeted per year
>> Remember how social networks were going to transform the advertising industry because they'd tailor ads not to context or to your web browsing history, but to the innate preferences you express through interactions and relationships with friends
The major of online advertising spend is based on URLs and Keywords. And a "content network" campaign (URL-based) is already hard enough to set up.

The most obvious attack is control of a majority of the network, and of course correlations attacks which require access to many ISPs.
These, in addition "ownership" of VPNs, are feasibly within the capabilities of intelligence agencies.

Sure... until you find out 400 years later that the new gene has a self destruct sequence.
Or worse, patent law follows the trend of copyright law in the US and half the population ends up owing royalties for the genes they were born with.
If someone stole my tequila, my response would be elevated from the TFS to TFH

Interesting. Citation?

Why hire a nerd who can build one system at a time?
Hire someone who writes the contract so HP doesn't get paid in the situation where they fuck up.

Yeah... I remember being 14 years old too
>> to store data that hardly ever needs to be accessed
In other words, data that you think you are "deleting"
Could you tell me more about this gangster please?

Zero results.

In other words, a small piece of plastic.
If you are saying the NSA is blackmailing the judicial or executive branch, this is as large as or larger than what has been released so far.
And if you'll let us assume Snow is not a false flag operation.
Then a leak would surely have come forward illustrating this.

They are spendable. They were spent (transferred) to the FBI.
Remember, the only legislated privacy we have is the privacy of consumer video rentals.
This is an important legislation. Its motivation for passing is also an important thing to consider.
Stop. You are making me feel old, I remember writing code like that. (Which compiled)

Guys, be more creative:
