If you had the NSA's budget, you probably wouldn't need to decide what text is relevant to store.

- dman 14y agoDeciding what to store is highly correlated with what information are we most likely going to find useful.
- VikingCoder 14y agoWhen I finally bought an iPod, it had 60 GB of storage. I thought, "Which albums of mine should I upload to it?" Then I remembered, "Oh right - all of them!" My point is that deciding what to store is expensive and error-prone, with false-positives and false-negatives. Storage is so cheap, that there's an argument to be made that they can just store everything they want to.
