- cpeterso 12y agoHow does Snowden spend his days In limbo? Where does he live and who pays for his living expenses?
- wavefunction 12y agoIf only there were some website where you could type these questions in and find out... He has a job doing tech-support which I assume pays for some of his expenses, he also has people who have donated money to his support.
- k-mcgrady 12y agoI'm sure he also gets paid quite a lot for the speaking gigs he's done.
- hueving 12y agoWho is the target audience that has thousands of dollars to pay to have Snowden come speak at an event?
- fragsworth 12y agoThe security industry?
- hueving 12y agoNo. The people in the industry already know all of the things Snowden is willing to disclose.
- alex_duf 12y agoTED ?
- big_youth 12y agoHe spoke at SXSW in Austin this year.
- adamnemecek 12y agoIdk how I would respond if I called tech support and was connected to Edward Snowden.
- lisper 12y agoI know exactly how I'd respond: I would thank him for doing a great service to humanity, and then I'd ask him whatever tech support question I had. And I'd be thinking to myself that I won the tech support lottery, because I'm pretty sure Ed Snowden knows more about tech than your average support person.
- adamnemecek 12y agoI mean sure, but just the very concept is kind of strange and somewhat entertaining (and also sad).
- Nib 12y agoIs there any way we can help ?
- bmelton 12y agoI got a spare room.
- at-fates-hands 12y agoConsidering there's still a treasure trove of documents he has yet to release, I'm sure the Russians will be keen to keep him on the payroll until all the documents he has are released.
- marak830 12y agoIirc he doesnt anymore, their in the hands of the newspapers.
- at-fates-hands 12y agoConsidering no one can confirm how many documents he took, there's no way to say if he still has any documents in his possession.
- Istof 12y agoI wonder why this submission is falling so fast from the front page yet still getting upvotes?
- RivieraKid 12y agoAFAIK some keywords, such as NSA and perhaps Snowden cause this.
- teawithcarl 12y agoMy trust in HN has dropped significantly since this censorship became so comprehensive.
- Istof 12y agosince I posted this comment it gained about 16 points and dropped from page 2 to page 4
- junto 12y agoThere are many in the German government that would love to give him asylum, but they dare not risk it. Not a fear of the voting public, but the wrath of the US.
- Gustomaximus 12y agoGiven current US/Russia relations I don't feel he has much concern about extending this.
