The statements over the past week by law enforcement, Comey and now Holder are clearly a coordinated attack -- the start of the new crypto wars (a repeat of what we went through a decade and a half ago), designed to pass some laws that effectively cripple encryption and put backdoors in place.

For years it's been looking to do things like reopen wiretapping statutes like CALEA and mandate wiretap backdoors into all sorts of technology.

He offers “people-based marketing,” that is, marketing based on Facebook’s data, as the solution.

Instagram, which of course, is owned by Facebook, is also enabled with Atlas. The company noted in its announcement that advertisers who buy ads on Facebook, Atlas, and Instagram will be able to easily compare the results.

A report from NASA's internal auditor, inspector general Paul Martin, says the space agency has underestimated the cost of keeping the International Space Station running until 2024. In particular, buying flights to the ISS from private companies rather than Russia is expected to increase costs.
