How much of it was subsidized by NSA? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/23/nsa-prism-costs-tech-companies-paid http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/au

  Nearly nothing considering your article mentions "millions" for the whole program and Google has spent 21k million just on its own. Google makes more on interest from its cash on hand than it has received from the NSA.

    It's really disappointing that you're responding to what is the #1 comment. The NSA noise just overshadows much of the meaningful discussion on HN.

      It is quite disappointing. I'm personally very tired of how widespread and acceptable the conspiracy theories have become, everyone's wearing their tinfoil hats and running around screaming like the government's taking away their first born child. I can't say I care anymore. But that's like, my opinion man.
