I can also highly recommend reading: Touching Lives: The Little Known Triumphs of the Indian Space Programme, by SK Das (2007).
Excerpt:
Touching Lives is not merely a chronicle of the community outreach of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is the story of journeys to far corners of India meeting people whose lives have been transformed by technology.
I don't want to be overly critical, but what exactly do people see in this book that eludes me?
I've read it a few months ago with high expectations, pen in hand, but… I didn't really make many notes.
Sure, if you've never heard about feedback loops (and that there is positive and negative feedback), but, is the book just way too basic for me or did I miss the point?
Is Weinberg's book maybe more practical or more advanced?
I'm still thinking that systems thinking has much to offer (and skimming the International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics confirms that hunch), but where do I continue?
Big Big fan of mitmproxy. This is a wonderful tool, and with scripting functionality it helps achieve so much more.
I have been introducing this tool to so many developers and quality assessment teams, to not just improve day to day things but also perform privacy assessments w.r.t GDPR etc.
Thank you so much for your work. What is the best way to donate to your project?
The price difference are huge, even when you compare from Germany, however, it’s important to note that iMessage and FaceTime are most likely disabled on iPhones bought from UAE. At least that was the case back in the time.
I have been testing Edge on iOS for Privacy practices. I think there are lot of things to improve. Also, it would be great for Edge to make it easier way to report and have discussions. Currently it’s a black box.
On the similar topic, some more interesting RFCs / Drafts from IETF on OAuth:
- OAuth 2.0 Threat Model and Security Considerations
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6819
We haven't changed our mind there. We're not going to implement a webextension API that allows replacing the results popup or parts of it with an iframe as we don't believe that to be a good API.
Thank you for taking the time to read the article and sharing your feedback.
Noise is added for what is called plausible deniability. Note that messages themselves do not contain any user-identifier. We take extra measures to strip request headers not needed by the server to avoid extra information that could be used for implicitly linking messages[1]. Possibility of linking messages based on network fingerprinting (ex: IP - which we do not log) still exists and is an open concern which we will solve in the next version. This at most makes it possible for us to learn that these 3 domains are visited by the same person, again - given that the list of domains are from shortlisted top-news domains, it is safe to assume that they do not contain any PII.
That said, it is not the strongest model we apply -- due to resource-constrains we have not updated to strongest models like we do on more sensitive data - via HumanWeb[2]. We will soon do the changes on a couple of dimensions: a) each domain as separate message, right now this introduces un-wanted spatial correlations, and b) send the domain through the proxy network HPN[3].
