The US has surveilled political factions that they've considered potentially subversive or corrupt machine politics - right and left wing - for ages. RICO prosecutions against politically motivated corruption are long overdue, and should definitely land on both parties because the grift seems to be the order of the day. But that doesn't happen without actual investigation of the political machine - and incidental local low level conspirators are mostly patsies for the people calling the shots. I applaud the protestors for wanting to change things, but shake my head at the naivete of thinking that being a martyr for the Instagram cameras is the way to do it.

Nikki Krishnamurthy - the center of this scandal - came there from Washington Mutual, one of the most famous implosions from the 2008 Big Crash along with Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers. How she's employable at all is beyond me.

The abstract would seem to suggest methamphetamine is one correlation; you might also reasonably suggest toxoplasmosis and I have heard a naturopath suggest that it can be treated nutritionally(!) I'm certain there's other valid explanations

How many of us saw this and thought "anti-drone lasers can't come soon enough"?

Would anyone be interested in organizing a class action lawsuit against Ross Teixeira and Princeton?

They bought it for data gathering and market/competitor research. I was with Amazon at the time. Was great for keeping track of what products were drawing most traction on eBay (Longaberger baskets and Beanie babies, says my vague memory)

That's Mike Daisey, he did a tour called "Doing Time At Amazon.com"

Not generally, but maybe as "Borat In The Wild West"

Your username suggests an option, but I shall hope you are focused on solar at the moment

As a man who is safely out of the closet for quite a while now, has seen the scourge of AIDS amongst my circles of friends, and has spent a great deal of time effort and money educating and promoting safer sex... this is disheartening.

And I realize we're pretty safe from violent gay-bashing here in SF, but this would be a terrifying map to see in less tolerant regions. Even as it is I fear that it'll be immediately passed about amongst religious zealots as the Map of Depravity.

We've got a long way to go. :-/
