I don't mind; in public groups its for everyone to see.

Snooping by the government or by the corporations? Which one is more insidious?

How does end to end encryption make that better?

I am genuinely curious. Is your threat model too severe that you really need to hide your conversations?

Work towards a niche.

Then announce it to the world. Although getting "followers" or "retweets" as a vindication of your online presence is not a metric that should be pursued. Its futile.

Re:Ask HN: Is implementation of encryption by WhatsApp reliable? on Sunday April 12, 2020 @12:32AM (#22846071)

I agree about it too. Isn't that Skype and other Microsoft products offer the same protocol?

Thanks and appreciated. Agreed.

In the privacy fiasco of Zoom, I am looking for documentary proof of WhatsApp encryption implementation. I want a documentary evidence that WhatsApp encryption is poorly implemented or it is easier for Facebook to ferret out the conversations. )Please also recommend alternative secure messenger for healthcare)

Re:Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it? on Friday April 10, 2020 @08:53AM (#22832520)

https://radoncnotes.com I am an Oncologist with an active blog (I usually post one post per day); link to most interesting articles and prefer to explore the intersection of technology and healthcare. I also make my disdain for academic publishing, a regular feature. Besides, I aim to educate my colleagues on digital workflows. I also air my opinions on AI/ML (if I find anything interesting) and also include a mixed bag of policy/opinion/rarely a long form. I hope you find it useful. (You can sign up for the WordPress generated generic email that would notify you about the new post; alternatively, RSS feeds). I have a companion Twitter account (radoncnotes) wherein you can follow the hashtag #read for the best links on the Internet.
