rainwolf··on The Unparalleled Genius of John von Neumann
I highly recommend "Turing's Cathedral" by George Dyson. I easily rate it n+1 stars out of n.

The last line in the article refers to that very twitter account.
rainwolf··on GnuPG Fundraising Rally
The project was on the brink of collapsing a few years back, there was a ProPublica article back then that shed some light on what you're asking.

rainwolf··on Encrypting Your Laptop Like You Mean It
Note that with FileVault on, backups are not automatically encrypted. Time Machine is a smooth backup experience, but should be encrypted as well.
rainwolf··on PayPal has ceased processing MEGA customer payments
That's easy: they were making money with it. Now for my question: what made them give up on all that revenue?
rainwolf··on The Epic Fail of the Tech Elites
The internet is indeed not the answer, 42 is.
rainwolf··on Core Secrets: NSA Saboteurs in China and Germany
I'm not saying it's retribution, I'm saying it's shortsighted to consider it damaging to themselves and be okay with the damage that was detailed in the leaks.

I'm not okay with either, but being blind to others' "suffering" doesn't get my sympathy. In this order of events, your sympathy gets mine. In this case, you pointing the finger at others hacking innocents as a justification for hacking innocents makes me entirely unsympathetic to your "damage". See how that works?

rainwolf··on Core Secrets: NSA Saboteurs in China and Germany
It is really damaging, but that's from a perspective that, as a superpower, they were benefiting from control and domination. The same perspective implies that the target was being damaged by these actions. Targets that are not always adversaries. Targets that could contribute if not being controlled, dominated, and damaged.

It's not easy to see, but damaging others denies them the contributions they could bring, ultimately damaging themselves.
