Too many wrongly characterize the debate as "security versus privacy." The real choice is liberty versus control. Tyranny, whether it arises under threat of foreign physical attack or under constant domestic authoritative scrutiny, is still tyranny. Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy. Widespread police surveillance is the very definition of a police state. And that's why we should champion privacy even when we have nothing to hide.

People love to talk about Google hiring. This is one of my favourite anecdotes. It is hard to get into Google (rightly so!) and you get rated out of 4. When you go through “perf” (the review cycle) you also get rated.

The higher the hiring rating didn’t mean anything for 1 year performance. Insert Hiring Anecdote We are hiring at Palm.
