Chelsea Manning: Business is collecting data on us, creating a life pattern

The real power of mass data collection lies in the hand-tailored algorithms capable of sifting, sorting and identifying patterns within the data itself. When enough information is collected over time, governments and corporations can use or abuse those patterns to predict future human behavior. Our data establishes a "pattern of life" from seemingly harmless digital residue like cellphone tower pings, credit card transactions and web browsing histories.

Arvin Vohra: Technology can lower prices if barriers are gone

We don't need minor reforms on government insurance. We need a free market in healthcare. Today's advanced technology would have actually lowered the price even more without government interference, as technology has in every other industry. Laser eye surgery, on the other hand, is advanced, futuristic technology. In the last decades, price competition in the non-insurance market has lowered the price of laser eye surgery from several thousand dollars per eye to a few hundred dollars per eye
