This is the story people tell in business schools and economics departments, but there's more to it than that. It's also a way to sterilize new issuance to employees, primarily senior management. In a very real sense, it can be a

> ToS is the least of it I'm afraid I disagree. Google running code on your phone implies it believes you have consented to that. That consent was not given in the app store, so it must have come from the ToS. Consent is an exceptio

Another question worth asking is "what is the governing law?" It is almost certainly contract law via Google's ToS. Government phones probably have different ToS, but government employee' personal phones have the same To

The factual basis of your assertion is absolutely true, but your attitude is unhelpful and defeatist. There is a chasm between "a state actor throws an 0day at you" and "Google remotely installs an app on your phone". Th

There is a lot of outright corruption [1] and malfeasance [2] in the surveillance tech acquisition processes. It's probably because that process is so secret. Brandeis was right, "sunlight is the best disinfectant". The stra

Is there a Matrix design document at a similar level of abstraction to [1,2,3]? I want to use it, but the client (Riot? Element?) scares me with all its features, and I'm not sure I have a working mental model about what information is

The solar subsidies in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are regarded as a failure by partisans in both parties. I think the US is beyond fixing at this point. This $250bn is going to end up in Teslas, yachts, and Florida bea
