De-Mail und End-to-End-Verschlüsselung

author: www-data

(via) Die Bundesregierung zum Thema:

"Eine Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung gefährdet das gesamte Ziel von De-Mail"
My thoughts exactly :-)

(Klar, die faseln da irgendwas von "ohne spezielle Softwareinsallation". Das kann man aber problemlos auch mit End-to-End-Verschlüsselung hinbekommen, viele Web-Mailer unterstützen das auch.)

Wikileaks und die Presse

author: www-data

Spannender Artikel von Matthias Brökers bei Telepolis über Wikileaks und die Presse. Achtet mal auf das Datum: wenige Tage vor den ganzen "Appellen gegen die Kriminalisierung von Wikileaks": Ja, da scheint echt was ins Rollen zu kommen... Wörtlich vom Guardian:
Thus, we pledge to not simply bear witness but to actively participate in this fight - for freedom of speech, for real democracy and for justice.
Spannend... :-)

Friedensnobelpreis für Bradley Manning

author: www-data

Von Fefe:

Der letzte Friedensnobelpreis ging an einen Helden, der in einem totalitären Staat in Haft sitzt. Das sollten wir nächstes Jahr wieder so machen. ?berhaupt sollten wir das immer so machen.

Der Gedanke, dass der Friedensförst Obama einen gekriegt hat, gibt mir Brechreiz.

Tut ihr mir einen Gefallen und verbreitet die Idee ein bisschen? Friedensnobelpreis für Bradley Manning!

Bin dafür!

Seems like the first real cyber war has started. And it looks like it's The Government vs The People... who would've thought :-) Some links (will probably grow):

Medical researcher discovers... integration?!

author: www-data

According to this paper, (DOI: 10.2337/diacare.17.2.152) a medical researcher has finally!1!! discovered a method not only for integrating curves, but for numerically approximating integrals using "rectangles and triangles"! Let's call this new method... aehm... the trapezoidal method Tai's Model! :-) From the abstract:

OBJECTIVE--To develop a mathematical model for the determination of total areas under curves from various metabolic studies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS--In Tai's Model, the total area under a curve is computed by dividing the area under the curve between two designated values on the X-axis (abscissas) into small segments (rectangles and triangles) whose areas can be accurately calculated from their respective geometrical formulas.

How Wiḱileaks collaborates with major media outlets

author: www-data

Nice article on the collaboration between Wikileaks and major media houses, like Spiegel, Guardian, New York Times, El Pais and Le Monde. The most interesting aspect is that Wikileaks is not acting wild and releasing information piece by piece to the media, but instead media representatives get access to ALL the information, and then work together with Wikileaks in order to decide what to release and what not, and to redact information believed to be too sensitive:

"They are releasing the documents we selected," Le Monde's managing editor, Sylvie Kauffmann, said in an interview at the newspaper's Paris headquarters.
[...]
They [the media outlets] also have been advising WikiLeaks on which documents to release publicly and what redactions to make to those documents, Kauffmann and others involved in the arrangement said.

Why the publication of "Embassy Cables" was the right thing to do

author: www-data

This is one of the links I've sent around during the past days most often: former British ambassador to "Raise A Glass to Wikileaks".

The reason for me doing so was that it was the text that made me change my mind. Initially, although I liked the publication of the "embassy cables" by Wikileaks out of principle, I was ready to admit that there was no necessity for the publication. The ambassadors' memos were, to me, just some kind of "daily soap", something not really meant for the public, and something not really necessary for the public to know.

However, the more I think about it, the more I believe Mr Craig Murray is right. Because:

Those who argue that wikileaks are wrong, believe that we should entrust the government with sole control of what the people can and cannot know of what is done in their name.
That's exactly the point: it does concern me when ambassadors tell lies or twist the facts, because when ambassadors of my country do so, they tell lies in my name. And when the ambassadors of other countries tell lies to my representants, they tell them to me!

And here the 2nd best piece of the text:
It is seriously argued that Ambassadors will not in future give candid advice, if that advice might become public.
[...]
Put it another way. The best advice is advice you would not be prepared to defend in public. Really? Why?
