You shouldn't be. This is one of the biggest worldwide threats of our era, and it's specifically one in which the tech industry is a huge part of the problem. We need to clean up our own mess.
I am not bored by reading such news. I find it compelling and interesting.
No. I think it's a really important story. Yes, it falls outside the normal sphere of what a startup is interested in. On the other hand it deals with issues that will have a very long term and deep impact on the future of us all.
Yes I am. Not because I am not interested in the problem but simply because we are overwhelmed by articles saying the same thing.
Are you bored by defining moments in history? Maybe if your work doesn't involve computers, but that would be called ignorance.
More important than the "how" of for loops is the "why".That chain will be like this: for loops->startup->changing the world,really?->"NSA news"
