# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Feb 11, 2014)

The log was relatively quiet with minimal substantive discussion, but contained:

* Glenn Greenwald's new media venture "The Intercept" published PGP public keys for staff members, prompting a brief discussion about trust models and man-in-the-middle attacks in cryptographic key distribution.

* A discussion about Certificate Authorities (CAs) as potential vectors for NSA man-in-the-middle attacks on encrypted communications.

* A brief exchange about alternatives to Pusher.com for websocket implementations, with suggestions for Parse.com and Firebase as potential options.

* A question about "neurotransmitter reductionism" in neuroscience, specifically whether there are cases where a specific property is controlled entirely by levels of a single neurotransmitter rather than being part of a multi-factor adaptive system.

* A brief debate about the relevance of print magazines versus digital publishing for activist communities, with one participant noting that physical publications remain important for communities with limited internet access.
