I think this statement is being misunderstood by a lot of people here.

The Google Drive backup is most likely still encrypted, just not "end to end" because the key needs to be stored on a Facebook server.

That makes a lot more sense to me.

tomgaga··on Coronavirus Country Comparator
Yeah, I really don't understand why people are still comparing these numbers like this. It's much more objective to just compare "excess number of deaths compared to last year per million". Like the New York times did: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronav...
tomgaga··on What Happened to the Megafauna?
I don't buy this. If the article explains it correctly, the argument is that they can show that in place where the climate was stable, and humans were new, the megafouna went extinct. But that implies that they believe that there were places on the planet were the climate was stable. If you look at the greenland Ice core data, you can see extreme peaks and falls around the last quarterly extinction. So sounds like BS to me.
