Snowden's making up to $1.25M/yr on speaking fees plus script consulting for Oliver Stone. Nice bump from gov't payscale. Though not enough to compensate for being under 24/7 FSB watch.

We're dumping too much energy into a tiny chip for heat to dissipate. At GHz speeds we can handle inbound photons in real time at their native frequencies. What needs to happen: slower, low power, massively parallel neuromorphic chips.
