And also that the US Fed Gov's role in funding Signal. Hopefully, the best outcome will probably be seeing how stupid the backdoor and encryption debate is.

I believe that at some point in the future they will launch a joint-venture for a fully automated Uber competitor with Tesla handling designing and building the vehicles and Google providing cash, self-driving software and building the actu

It means that Russians are threatening retaliation for the public discussions the US is having for their responses to the DNC and other leaks. https://twitter.com/DAlperovitch/status/765192800367284224

The Kochs are the 21st century Kochs. Peter Thiel hasn't had any major success as a political donor, while the Kochs have been wildly successful as political donors and furthering their political agendas.

You would think though if he was living in the US or Canada, he would at least make a more up-to-date pop reference than Rambo or Terminator. If he was living in the west, he would probably at least cite Mr. Robot or some "betrayed&qu

It would appear that different people wrote different parts of this. The English goes from fluent to almost Google translatese ("inside the network to stay stealth.") in talking about the actual hack. This would suggest that an o

It's laughable how outclassed Oculus is by Valve. If Valve were to release Half-Life 3 as an exclusive on Vive, Oculus as a gaming headset would be toast. Valve has some of the most valuable franchises (Dota 2, Team Fortress, Portal e
