It's up to us - the people - to make the story about illegal surveillance and privacy concerns. The media sure as hell won't address those issues for us.

Do you honestly believe we've understood this surveillance complex enough that we can keep on with our lives? Why accept that "PRISM [won't go] away" or that "Snowden's fate is grim"? Honestly? Is this cau

Throwing millions of legitimate users, who require Tor for their safety, under the bus is evil, yes. Facebook has plenty of ways to fight spam besides blacklisting Tor exit node IPs, exactly as it has done up until now.

The privatized 'public' space makes an inevitable move. Facebook can no longer stake any preposterous claim to "help people connect better". It is a business entity - always has been - and does not give half a damn about

Definitely, but this isn't what PRISM is about.

Your response reeks of privilege and ignorance. If we put aside the ad-hominem attack on the author, which has a record that speaks for itself, you really should look up cases in the past that perfectly exemplify a surveillance society that

Seriously, 'murica? One of the most important heroes of our time blows the whistle on the largest spying industry the world has ever known, and you pay him back with cash ? Edward Snowden has done the world and the US a huge deal by

Who wrote this bullshit article? 1. This is wiretapping, par excellence . Metadata in aggregate is shitloads of data, and tells a much more compelling story than the data. 2. Judicially supervised means the public needs to know about t

Yes, work conditions in China are slowly and steadily improving. But somehow, whenever the concept of choice comes up, it's always about the privileged giving the oppressed a pep talk, claiming that whatever position society has put them

That is a privilege which I'm sure you can understand why not everyone enjoys.

I would take a look at the actual implementation [1]. It is clearly not a full-featured connection pool. Sure, it gives some quick performance wins within each thread, but this is no proper cross-process connection pool. [1] - https://gith

Both previous cases of Facebook buyouts in Israel (Snaptu, face.com) resulted in closing of R&D centers. Waze is probably expecting the same outlook if this deal goes through.

No, neither of these suspects came up on 4chan or reddit. There seem to be no real hi-res images of these suspects, except for a photo which just showed up of suspect at site #1 [1] [1] - http://imgur.com/a/34wtj

Sure, let's discuss things no one seems to be talking about. How is pump-and-dump even possible in an ecosystem such as Bitcoin? Pumping is easy, sure, just load heaps of cash into all exchanges, buy every single wall that is put up, price

I don't really care about Gmail 'features' that I will be missing out on, spam detection is probably the thing I'll miss the most, but that's a tradeoff I can live with. Other than that, there's the thing that I need to trust my VM provider

Most people will do whatever they are told, and eat whatever they are sold. I will believe human beings are truly interested in eating meat once they carry out the necessary steps themselves, instead of importing workers from other countrie
