as an individual doing things independently, you are shielded from NSL
silent screwing.

if you are trying to run a business, this becomes a concern.

however as an individual you are more vulnerable to "display of power"
pressures, with less resources to resist them.

the only reliable advice i can see is to speak up rather than suffer in silence.

this example bothers me because Ladar put himself in position of
having the ability to get at the keys of users. this is a bad place to
be, as demonstrated by NSLs and lucre. Very different than writing
open source for any to use.

the earth humans are pretty atrocious, it is true. they're also pretty
awesome :)

a mixed bag...

it's Tor, and

we can discuss more applicable metrics, like fast to respond to and
release fixes for serious security issues.  they're working hard to
address funding diversity, that long sore subject. etc. etc.
