They already siphon everything going through whole backbones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... The reward is for people to snitch on 'bad actors' that use good encryption they haven't already circumvented / broken and for those whose traffic doesn't go through the public internet. It is also a red herring that says 'we don't really know how to catch them' and 'those bad actors don't work for us' when we know for a fact that government paid 'bad actors' commit most / all of the activities we label as terrorism, so they can justify passing shit like 'the patriot act'. /end rant

Those ash piles aren't exactly safe. Specifically, one incident in 2014 in North Carolina spilled 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of ash pond water into the Dan River.

According to: http://www.fundinguniverse.com...
AMD built Fab 25 / were the original owners.

"that same year [1979], production began at AMD's newly constructed Austin, Texas facility."

Apparently, Cypress was bought by Infineon Technologies about 2 years ago, so they are the current owners of Fab 25, as far as I can tell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The data from the ERS-1 mission was declassified 3 months after the mission was completed, in June 1995. The journalist writing the article seems to have glossed over that bit.

Data from ENVISat and CryoSat 2 were never classified by the US, as they are ESA satellites. The data from ICESat and GRACE seems to have always been public.

None of this was kept secret for 20 years.
