I really don't like these kind of titles.
How can the online market function if some services are throttled?
Messages are circulating on social media that it has something to do with a datacenter fire. I assume this is not the case?

Good to know, couldn't find that on their website.
As far as I understand this doesn't encrypt communication but authenticates it to ensure it hasn't been tampered with. So it's still out in the open. I also don't understand what the benefit over DNSSEC is.
Edit: Nvm, DNSSEC still has to trust the validating resolver, DNSCrypt solves this.

30 potential trackers on a single page and even the video player is a tracker.
1. Is the NSA capable of doing it? YES
2. Does the NSA have a reason to do it? YES
(Fear for) 'Terrorism' is the Swiss knife of government/law enforcement. They can use it to justify/enforce ANY policy they would normally not be able to.
Bill Gates is an influential person and his opinion matters to many people. Some media outlets seem to claim he sided with the FBI. He denies this. It seems to me that he is trying to say that there is a way for Apple to decrypt the phone without providing a backdoor. What's interesting in my opinion is how these so-called independent media outlets are (deliberately?) misinterpreting his words to use the authority of Bill Gates to influence public opinion. I am not saying this is a move by the FBI, but ...

>Those who disagree with surveillance often don't understand the full implications
No, those invading countries, killing people with drones, torturing people in concentration camps, creating even more animosity against the USA don't understand the full implications. Why aren't we talking about those implications?
>Many Americans believe in following the law no matter what.
But if the government breaks the law, it's OK? When others do it, they're traitors?
Just return self, no else, no?
Most of that $1000 will be injected back into the economy (people will spend it), the money does not evaporate. It is more sustainable than you think.

It could have been laying around.

As I have said before: (Islamist) extremism is mostly reactionary. The cause is not Islam.
Daesh has a mother: the invasion of Iraq. But it also has a father: Saudi Arabia and its religious-industrial complex. Until that point is understood, battles may be won, but the war will be lost. Jihadists will be killed, only to be reborn again in future generations and raised on the same books. The attacks in Paris have exposed this contradiction again, but as happened after 9/11, it risks being erased from our analyses and our consciences.The best summary I have read so far.
It just happens to be so that the people from the countries we have been interfering with for the last decades are mostly Muslim. Before that it was relatively peaceful and extremism was nearly non-existent. The current anti-Western extremism is reactionary.
