It is asinine to compare the two situations. Greenwald is wrongly equating the two together for his puppeteers. 1) Snowden had already been charged at that point and was running from the law. Morales's plane was diverted because it was

I find it hard to believe that large farms don’t have “skin in the game”. I would think that they manage their farm land as an investment. It isn’t easy to move to a different area due to labor, equipment, investment into the ground, etc. I

Yah, the tech behind this already exists. Just needs to be packaged together. Legislation will go together to require a large free email provider to also provide tools to set up a forwarding service and operate it for a period of no less th

I wonder if a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 might trigger the same response from the immune system. With mRNA, vaccines could be much easier to create and could have an interesting side effects.

This is so ridiculous. Google Maps accesses the clipboard. Try it out: copy an address and open maps. So do Facebook and Instagram, I’m sure. The level of paranoia in the Valley is astounding.

I foresee tech companies creating paid and non-paid versions of their products. If you don't want your data monetized, please pay $50/month for Google Search, GMail, Maps, and YouTube. If you are okay with the value exchange of ad
