Fantastic point, and it's a real shame that there don't appear to be any anthropologists, sociologists, game theorists, psychologists or political scientists advising in the models of any of these coins. The algorithms that underl

Thank you. They waited until the 2nd-to-last paragraph to mention criticisms of the agreement, and never mention the secrecy involved. Clearly a positive analysis, even if they didn't explicitly write "approve this trade agreement

I'm going to contact Margaret Sullivan, the Times' Public Editor, and ask her to write about why the paper is endorsing something they haven't seen. If enough folks join me, she might weigh in. http://topics.nytime

If you can't make it to the rally, consider chipping in a few bucks for a t-shirt to help us cover the overtime pay we're going to owe the stage and sound crew when the rally runs long: http://igg.me/at/stopwa

Different people have different philosophies. Some people have stopped using FB and G+ because they know their actions will be monitored. I choose to share these links because I don't want to censor myself out of fear of surveillance.

It's news because most people don't understand what "metadata" means in the abstract, and what the implications of the NSA having it are. This may be a sufficiently concrete invasion of privacy to reach the average perso

If you've got a couple bucks to spare, the Indiegogo campaign has some pretty cool perks, from t-shirts to a PRISM article signed by Glenn Greenwald.

It's not totally clear to me from the website what the service does, how it works, and what benefits it provides. Can you post a more detailed explanation?

We worked pretty hard to get some unique perks for the campaign. PRISM articles signed by Glenn Greenwald, Pentagon Papers signed by Daniel Ellsberg, worth checking out I think.

If you RSVP on the site and put in a Boston zip code, you'll get information on how to link up with other people heading down from Boston. I know Restore the Fourth Boston is having a meetup in the next week or so for folks interested

Which campus is that? Any chance you'd like to help make sure other students at your school know when/where to catch a bus to the rally?

Well, you can contact folks at any of the organizations listed to confirm that it's not an NSA operation. Not very likely the ACLU and EFF are going to allow their name to sit on a honeypot site. We asked for the phone numbers because

We would have loved to get news out sooner, but unfortunately mobilizing a coalition of this size is a substantial process. If you RSVP and sign up with your zip code and phone number, we'll follow up with you to let you know if any ev

Would you be interested in helping to plan a livestream viewing party or other type of gathering in the Atlanta area? We're trying to figure out what a 21st century online-offline rally should look like, very open to suggestions!

Luckily, it looks like public opinion is actually shifting in our direction; the latest AP poll found that "close to 60 percent of Americans oppose the NSA's collection of data on telephone and Internet usage. A similar majority o

Stay tuned in the next couple weeks for announcements on rally location, march route, and confirmed speakers. FWIW, it seems pretty unlikely that you could make it to the rally without leaving a trail. If you drive, you'll probably get
