Is there no memory in the system?

We have been. There's just a dogged persistence among those who would like the first-order job of the government 
knowing things for control to be easy. I heard Herb Lin speak on this at an industry event, and it was like Clipper 
all over again. Stu Baker similarly. I'm not exactly sure what drives either, as Baker hasn't been working for the 
NSA for decades, and Herb is at Stanford. But both are fine with the potential to arm fascists in the information age.

Meanwhile, I'm back looking for work, as Rocket Lawyer (which had been a fascinating four months) seems to be 
imploding, and let a lot of us go. But the market is great... I've got a site interview with a Kleiner-backed 
tech-start up in a week, and interviews for a privacy engineer position with a major non-profit.

But ideas for where else to look always solicited gratefully!
