"StartPage protects you from NSA surveillance and spying": And how do you save me from NSA owning CA's and decrypting the SSL Traffic from you? Please explain. (I wish https was any good against NSA - is it?)

Re:Why we love Mozilla Persona on Monday February 03, 2014 @10:27AM (#7171052)
We used Persona for http://bit.ly/blibonline - and one of the problems we faced was that we would have liked the registration process to let our users tell us the name / icon (avatar), which was missing in Persona then. Any news on the timeline for these additions to Persona? (OpenID gives those two elements from registration/usage)
I've not tried Azure yet, but Digital Ocean we have been using for a few months. No complaints there.

Re:Google Can Bring an End to Censorship in 10 Days on Saturday November 23, 2013 @09:34AM (#6786004)
What about surveillance by Google itself? What we should be asking ourself is how do we improve https://duckduckgo.com ? or something similar.
In open offices, these are the things that are problematic (when it happens from the person who is sitting next to me):

- cell phones - chats - social networking - random web surfing

(when my neighbor does it)

Maybe I'm not just concentrating enough at work. But perhaps there is a way to solve these problems?

When is this department going to collect the data ( or perhaps it already does? ) - Which major in college actually gets jobs for students (say within 5 years of graduation - according to their training) ? Last time I called them, they told me, you should do your own statistics if you want to answer that. Does anyone know?
