I always wondered what would happen to all the money from VW and now other manufacturers for their cheating. Not small sums at all.

This gentleman fell 18,000 feet and survived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Alkemade

This gentleman also fell 22,000 and survived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Magee

I figured because it was a fairly in-depth analysis of the footage, it was worth posting to the HN community. I'm glad you found it interesting.

It's like WhatsApp; but with PGP and you're in complete control of your keys.

They basically provide the public key exchange and verification services with an appealing UI akin to your modern chat application.

Let's say you hook up your reddit account or HN account to your Keybase account, and we want to chat. One of us simply has to look for the other on Keybase, start up a chat like Twitter DMs -- but it's PGP encrypted and seemingly as flawless as exchanging PGP emails without the hassle of exchanging our public keys through a key-server. This is arguably the hardest thing for non-tech savvy's to grasp.

It's arguable that it would be a reasonable trade-off; how ever there's no evidence any or all of these 42 suspects were ever arrested, let alone convicted. As you said: who knows.
Verizon has been doing this since at least 2012. It's sure as sh*t AT&T and others (not just mobile providers) are doing it as well.
