- CyberDildonics 11y agoWell it was in writing so I'm not sure what more you want, it isn't really an subjective thing.

- elchief 11y agoIf your boss is breaking the law, and you don't do anything about it, you're a coward.
- gadders 11y agoAnd thinks that Thomas Piketty is talking rubbish. So he has that in his favour.
- genericresponse 11y agoHow is this relevant to the conversation? How is this a positive contribution to the dialog? How is this meaningful towards the essay about Andreesen?
- geomark 11y agoI would say that it might shed some light on Adreesen's view of the world. Snowden is a very polarizing figure and which side of the Snowden issue one agrees with says a lot about a person.
- tim333 11y agoWhile reading the article I looked a bit randomly at two video clips of Andreessen to see how he came over and on both he seemed slightly nutty. The first was saying 'obviously he's a traitor' about Snowden which I'm not sure is obvious and the second on why not invest in healthcare he said 'Healthcare, Oh my God, everyone complains that robots are going to kill all the jobs' which I think is inaccurate in that few people complain about that particular issue. It makes me take his views with a pinch of salt.

- enraged_camel 11y agoIt's relevant because Marc is very influential and wields a lot of power in the tech industry. What he thinks about someone who blew the whistle on unconstitutional mass surveillance programs of epic scale is pretty important.
- Bostonian 11y agoSnowden is currently a guest of Vladimir Putin, an evil man. Why do you Putin is giving him asylum? If you take our secrets and live with our adversaries, what are you?
- elchief 11y agoYes, our illegal secrets

- cyphunk 11y agoIf the enemy of your enemy is your friend and a friend of yours winds up being hosted by the enemy of your enemy, does this really compromise the status of your friendship? Maybe your point is that what I consider enemy in this analogy (NSA) you consider friend.
- juliangregorian 11y agoOh lord, so much wrong here. I guess you're Dick Cheney then, since you call them "our" secrets. Nope. They were being used against you. That makes NSA & co. "our adversaries", which in your simplistic binary universe makes Russia our allies, I suppose? And Vladimir Putin is just "an evil man", a laughably broad statement with no justification. What does that make all the US leaders who collude with him?
- Bostonian 11y agoPutin's political opponents have a tendency to be killed or jailed. He has invaded another country (Ukraine) for no good reason. He is an evil man.
