Well, it didnt take too long.

Interesting that now "controversial" means "popular".

I find it funny that the comment police seems to think the NSA scandal is over, when it is in fact very much alive and kicking over here in Europe.

Mainstream press is reporting and new things come to light every day. On top of that, the scandal is completely devouring any trust people had in US cloud companies.

It's pretty obnoxious that a scandal that is projected to cost the US tech industry $180 billion by 2016 is treated this way on HN.

The NSA poisoned the tech well in America, and it could mean the end of telecom infrastructure companies in the US and it could prevent the overseas expansion of telecom service providers.

I suspect that the comment was more a critique on hn ranking algorithm. NSA seems one of the headline trigger words that makes a story decay a lot faster than other stories.

Correct, this was the first story to pop up after the hn ranking algorithm article yesterday.
