-Some people may haven't yet realized that we've got plenty of open-source tools to store, analyze, link and visualize billions of data rows quickly and with much ease. Image what people with a multi-billion budget are able to employ. To give you a small scale example, how transparent anyone's little life and habits become, I've created a [[https://apollo.open-resource.org/flight-control/vfcc/#/dashboard/db/aquarius-hab-environment-indoor|dashboard]] which doesn't show many metrics yet (more are in the process) but it's more than enough, if you learn how to interpret the graphs. The data you see there is mostly generated by two spark-cores which are deployed here. Big/Open-Data/Cloud technology is not the problem itself, it's our culture/society, which obviously isn't ready for it.+Some people may haven't yet realized that we've got plenty of open-source tools to store, analyze, link and visualize billions of data rows quickly and with much ease. Imagine what people with a multi-billion budget are able to employ.

 In the year 2014, in a post [[http://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/security/the-real-story-of-stuxnet|Stuxnet]], [[http://www.heise.de/extras/timeline/|Snowden]] & [[http://www.zdnet.com/unsealed-docs-show-what-really-happened-with-lavabit-7000021489/|Lavabit]] era, we have no other choice but to come out of our state of denial and simply accept the fact, that every commercial entity can be compromised through multiple legal, administrative, monetary, social/personal or technological levers. Access- and Cloud-Provider are no exception. All of them can be tricked, coerced or forced to "assist" in one way or another. No matter what anyone promises, from this point on, they all have to be considered compromised. In the year 2014, in a post [[http://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/security/the-real-story-of-stuxnet|Stuxnet]], [[http://www.heise.de/extras/timeline/|Snowden]] & [[http://www.zdnet.com/unsealed-docs-show-what-really-happened-with-lavabit-7000021489/|Lavabit]] era, we have no other choice but to come out of our state of denial and simply accept the fact, that every commercial entity can be compromised through multiple legal, administrative, monetary, social/personal or technological levers.
