Distinguishing between security and privacy is important, because otherwise you get a bunch of uninformed conspiracists who insist that hardening a machine involves installing Tor; or that using Google is bad, in a topic about using cryptographic signatures.

Please don't use derogatory terms like "conspiritards" on HN which obviously come from the term "retard".

Conspiracies are the rule, not the exception.
It doesn’t matter if they are real. If the topic is about practical suggestions for reducing the attack surface of current systems, it’s the wrong place to bring up global surveillance and vague allegations about vendor trust and world governments.

Thats ridiculous.
It is the perfect forum to bring up such a discussion.
The article does a fantastic job covering the fundamentals.
How do you build on that and take it further?
Is it even worthwhile or possible to have a reasonable chance of thwarting a state level actor?
All fantastic topics.
