Then the Feds will just get the info straight from 1password - or whichever password manager implements such a plan. Really, the only solution to this kind of thing is offshore corps.

Right, as soon as we can get a psychiatrist to examine him, we'll get back to you. Until then, we'll have to rely on circumstantial evidence and induction. It does seem likely that anyone able to rise to the pinnacle of American p

Sounds like the Germans are getting a genuine American experience.

He could've shut it down a dozen different ways, had he wanted to. He's expended zero political capital on this issue.

If people cared about surveillance, they could simply vote in an anti-surveillance policitian(s). The fact that this cursory act hasn't occurred would suggest that sub-100,000 person ISPs will have zero traction.

Of course it's normal, and of course "we" are not surprised y the scale of NSA spying. What did you think the NSA did if not this? Have all of their 40,000 employees listening in on Bin Laden's phone calls?

There was actually an article upvoted on HackerNews a few days ago which supposed, even before Snowden revealed himself, that these leaks were the result of Chinese intelligence activity.

Again, I don't understand why you think that it's harder for the NSA to hack / bribe / trick their way into data than it is to have to obtain court orders and convince everyone to work with them.

And my point is that what they can get without a court order is more than they can get with one.

A minor correction in terminology: The US Constitution and case law makes no distinction between protections granted to US citizens and foreigners. All are treated equally under the law, and thusly "enjoy" the same "protectio

If you're outside of the US, then yes you are not subject to NSA orders. But your data will still be accessed by the NSA, as the NSA won't require an order to read what you've got.

The US spends 2.5x as much on the military as does Poland, as a % of GDP. It's a lot, but not exactly extraordinary.

This thread concerns unlimited access to the entire internet. PRISM concerns limited access to a few massive internet companies.

PRISM is dramatically less interesting than this.

Less than a fifth of US public budget is spent on defense...

There are probably more Indians living near the Himalayas than there are Americans living in the mountains.

I wouldn't recommend you eat 1300 calories of rice per day. But for calibration purposes, it's useful information I think.

It makes sense to go high deductible no matter what your income is. It costs less to pay interest and principle on your $10k disaster deductible than it does to pay $2k/year extra on low deductible health insurance. Insurance is a tax on pe

If it takes $22/hour to "live," what are the people in Mexico, earning $5/DAY, doing? Are they not living?

You can eat quite well on $3/day. $1.50/day of food is comfortably above subsistence in the US. A diet of strictly rice and beans will net 1500 calories for $.30 - $.50 per day. That's not an appetizing diet, but provides a base number for
