You're right, the tunnels can't exist, for the sake of Israel's security. You're also right when you say that Sisi (a tyrant) hates Hamas and he worked to close the tunnels. What you fail to mention is that Egypt elimin

This is not a "civic tech" fund. This is a fund for companies that are looking for profit from government contracts. Civic tech encourages citizen engagement. This does nothing of that nature. This is just a fund for companies and

If you haven't already, you should check out The Plant. I took the trip to Chicago all the way from LA just to check out this place. When I went a couple years ago it was in its early stages, but it was still a great experience to to

In his autobiography he tells a story I love. While writing 100 Years of Solitude he listened to The Beatles' A Hard Day Night album on repeat. After the book was published he received a letter from a group of Mexican college students

Let's not forget that GGM was a life-long socialist and a supporter of the Cuban revolution. He spent many years living and Cuba and he considered Castro to be one of his best friends. He was a firm supporter of Chavez, and looked for

He's shockingly naive about forced labor. It's a shame that someone of his stature could claim that slavery "ended." Furthermore, although there's nothing wrong with AJWS, I question his choice of charity given tha

There was plenty of resistance to corporate power in response to SOPA. And it was absolutely justified. Right, because selling virtual Smurf Gold Coins is totally legit but charging developers for access to a marketing funnel is evil. Giv

If you think Android is any better in this regard, you've missed the point. Maybe we should have just sat back and smiled when 100+ corporations and the US gov worked together to draft SOPA. After all, GoDaddy does not owe me shit. I'm no

Quit speculating. They weren't spamming viagra, they were promoting apps. As an iOS developer from day 1, who has had to deal with plenty of superfluous demands from Apple to get apps approved, I'm incredibly grateful to the French gov. f

The general points on growth are well-put but the 'anti-science' examples are very poorly chosen. The anti-science population isn't the group of people who want to see GMO labels and drone restrictions, it's the group of people who don't b

There have been rumors for years suggesting that these types of devices (unarmed) are already being used for domestic surveillance. It should be noted that a google search didn't reveal any solid proof beyond eyewitness accounts. http://

The letter is a good example of the cognitive dissonance so prevalent amongst the privileged elite. In the same paragraph where he laments that the French government "does nothing" while the Chinese ship tires to France, he predicts French
