"The problem comes from the complete lack of accountability at basically every level."
There is no accountability because the people who should do the oversight don't do it and then they defend the people they should have been overseeing because to admit they were scammed is to admit they didn't do their job.
I'm talking to you Dianne Feinstein and Mike Rogers!
Clearly they feel betrayed. They feel Snowden betrayed America because they feel they are America. They don't realize how far from the true spirit of America they have strayed.
If this business model takes off we may remember fondly the good old bad old days of RIAA, especially once song creation gets automated. If they can make movies without actors they can make songs without singers easier!
I know a woman, 50 years old, who is addicted to the Candy, and it isn't a pretty thing. I've no doubt the Candy pushers developed the app in ways that scientifically maximize their return using things like operant conditioning, similar to slot machines. So the described study may not quite deserve the level of mockery and scorn that Mr. Geigner levies.
That "Day we Fight Back" website would be better without the picture of John Goodman holding a pistol. I know it's from The Big Lebowski, and you know it, but it's still a bad idea, even if you think that NSA's actions are worthy of revolt.
Dow Jones could find whoever is sending their feed to Ransquawk by putting out slightly different feeds to half their base, then repeating in a binary fashion. That would give their lawsuit a lot more punch.
"When someone reveals that government officials have routinely and deliberately broken the law, that person should not face life in prison at the hands of the same government."
Hopefully tomorrow's editorial will say "When government officials have routinely and deliberately broken the law, those officials should face prison."
What amazes me about these defenders of the surveillance state is that they seem to have no concept at all of a "cost/benefit" analysis. To them "more" is always better, no matter what the costs. The idea that there are costs to doing all this doesn't even enter into the equation. This makes for poor policy and incredibly dumb analysis.
Thank you! This needs to be said over and over again.
