“Exactly,” responded Alexander. “We stand for freedom.”
“Bullshit!” McCoy shouted.
“Not bad,” Alexander said, as applause broke out in the crowd.

“Read the constitution!” shouted McCoy in one last heckle.
“I have. So should you,” responded Alexander to another round of applause.

At least these guys know who the masters are.

They were applauding McCoy, not the NSA director there begging them for forgiveness for some reason.

You expected a bunch of people who happily and routinely violate the security and privacy of hundreds of thousands of people for personal gain (and sometimes just bragging rights) to be outraged at an organization that does the exact same thing at a larger scale?

“We get all these allegations of what [NSA staff] could be doing,” Alexander added. “But when people check what the NSA is doing, they’ve found zero times that’s happened. And that’s no bullshit. Those are the facts.” The crowd responded to that line with loud applause, as Alexander asked the press not to quote his swearing, noting his 15 grandchildren.
Should have declared it a state secret General.
Admission to Blackhat is like $1500. You're looking at $3K with all expenses just to go. Of course it only attracts assholes who work for large companies with an attitude that `privacy is dead'. Who else is going to pay for that in a mostly-worthless conference?

It can't have been full of NSA agents. Because of the sequester, Obama decided to save money by severely limiting (to the point of almost blocking), travel and professional expenses of federal employees.
Alexander’s talk focused on the oversight placed on the NSA by Congress and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which must approve the NSA’s surveillance in any case where it might target Americans.
Sure, but what about the rest of the world..? It's not even your fucking jurisdiction

A spy agency... spying! Imagine that! Get over it Euroshit, we're just better at it and if your petty little leaders cry about it, it's because they're jealous. Also, all the important countries cooperate and share it, and the rest deserve it.

X-Keyscore is run out of Australia and New Zealand and are operated jointly with their Defence Signals Directorate and Government Communications Security Bureau, respectively.

NSA Blackmailing Obama? | Interview with Whistleblower Russ Tice www.informationclearinghouse.info/article35505.htm
Jul 10, 2013 - Abby Martin talks to Russell Tice, former intelligence analyst and original NSA whistleblower, about how the recent NSA scandal is only ...
It has been assumed that the problem concerned the electronic surveillance of Americans, but in an interview published 13 January 2006 on the reasononline web site,[1] Tice said "there's no way the programs I want to talk to Congress about should be public ever, unless maybe in 200 years they want to declassify them. You should never learn about it; no one at the Times should ever learn about these things. But that same mechanism that allows you to have a program like this at an extremely high, sensitive classification level could also be used to mask illegality, like spying on Americans."[2]
The fact that Alexander bothered to show up is kind of incredible. How disgusting. The fact that Blackhat accommodated him is even more disgusting. I think the time for public dialog with this son of a bitch is long past, no?
I don't go to conferences, but if I did, DEFCON has the right idea...

Thanks. So many holes on his speech. Including the Metadata record, how it does not have the record, but they can label the call with its description (wonder how they know the context without listening), and how in his example the call they were intercepting talked about terrorism.
i would like to offer Mr. Barrack my understanding if he would step forward and explain exactly what is going on...
what good could you be doing (and by what means), such that it needs to be kept secret for the next 200 years?
If letting people know that you killed a bunch of civilians counts as aiding the enemy... then perhaps killing civilians in itself is aiding the enemy? if not just being the enemy...

In 1900, in the Paris conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians, David Hilbert challenged the mathematical community with his famous Hilbert's problems, a list of 23 unsolved fundamental questions which mathematicians should attack during the coming century. The first of these, a problem of set theory, was the continuum hypothesis introduced by Cantor in 1878, and in the course of its statement Hilbert mentioned also the need to prove the well-ordering theorem.

The first of these results is apparent by considering, for instance, the tangent function, which provides a one-to-one correspondence between the interval (−π/2, π/2) and R (see also Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel).

Symmetric difference of sets A and B, denoted A △ B or A ⊖ B, is the set of all objects that are a member of exactly one of A and B (elements which are in one of the sets, but not in both). For instance, for the sets {1,2,3} and {2,3,4} , the symmetric difference set is {1,4} . It is the set difference of the union and the intersection, (A ∪ B) \ (A ∩ B) or (A \ B) ∪ (B \ A).

Topos also give a natural setting for forcing and discussions of the independence of choice from ZF, as well as providing the framework for pointless topology and Stone spaces.

Not every situation requires the axiom of choice. For finite sets X, the axiom of choice follows from the other axioms of set theory. In that case it is equivalent to saying that if we have several (a finite number of) boxes, each containing at least one item, then we can choose exactly one item from each box.
