I feel like this is a tech-problem that will have a tech-solution. No idea how that fits into an "International Trade Partner Conference".

That said, you can't outsource your complete manufacturing process only to come back later and wish for "virtual IDM" partnerships. Thats all of the benefits and none of the risk.

This isn't a problem, its the 'perfect moment' for a frighteningly ambitious, disruptive startup, per HN speak.

I think its clear that this would be a problem in an industry where the most used tool is a bookshelf of various common interpretations of law. It just doesn't scale.

Interesting, isn't it? Our direct reactions tend to be the most honest, but we don't often want to admit that to ourselves for we know that we should be aspiring to be better.

Tolerance might be the opposite of abstraction, and thats a hard reality in a field where abstraction has gained us so much.

You are linking low number of CS freshwomen to being harassed by male colleagues. The problem of that argument is obviously that the earlierst most people would be exposed to such an environment is _after_ college.

So maybe its not culture in programming, but culture in society that is to blame here.

There are legal obligations for the government to reimburse telco companies if they are asked to spy on their customers on the governments behalf. Also, obviously, if you want to use data as evidence in a trial, it needs to be stored safely by the police and sealed off, to ensure that its integrity is preserved.

So either the government needs to pay up, store the drives themselves or dismiss these thousands of harddrives from the witness bench.

Also, I cant see how the EFFs claim has any legal merit. Theres no obligation for a site to enable you to access data you sent them.
