500k is not that outlandish for a system like this. Cameron Purdy, who developed Tangosol (now Oracle) Coherence said that he regularly turned down $500k job offers. Bear in mind that their idea of "top notch" is not what gets ban

If you read the article carefully, or even better the original Guardian article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/27/nsa-online-metad... you'll find claims that while the original program wa

Sentenced to a year of probation and community service, Drake was stripped of his security clearance. He now works at an Apple retail store. I hope they have him employed as a Genius.

FWIW you're not alone in feeling like this. Fortunately I deleted my Facebook and LinkedIn accounts years ago, but losing Google services is going to hurt. It also feels a little futile since my country, like yours, participates in Ech

Programmers are fools, for the most part. They don't understand what problem they're really trying to solve. That's a little harsh. I think it's fairer to say that they often don't have insight into the wider stra

That's true, but according to the Guardian here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-record... Verizon handed over location data to the NSA (the original court order states "c

I agree that Snowden's credibility is incredibly important here. However, the NSA's credibility (and transitively, the administration's) is also incredibly important since almost their entire defence boils down to "just

When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. It's pretty clear from the last couple of days that the balance in the US is pretty firmly tipped towards tyranny by that defi

I'd assumed that moving back to NZ might be a solution, sadly that seems to not be the case. Fortunately it's a nice place to be anyway. It seems like the only option is to live in a country that's so insignificant that no-on
