Imagine the uproar if the NSI hired a graphic designer of sorts to make their slides more attractive. I can see the moaning now "They spent HOW much of my tax money making those slides pretty?!?"

I expect the NSA's slide to be crappy, because you know, they're spies and stuff not graphic UX experts.

Brilliant! I think, as the public, we should all re-implement an open, ethical, and fun version of this surveillance infrastructure open to the Internet as a whole. Facebook nearly implemented that goal. But we can do better.

Nice deck, BUT this is Hacker News, so here's the customary negative feedback:

- the "what's the plan" slide is bad: it doesn't convey the original sense that other providers will join soon or have already joined. the tagline makes it look like it's a future plan, when it's actually describing the past.

- that "$20m" slide makes it look like it's a lot of money. The original clearly wanted to contextualise it and make it look cheap. ("just 20m for all these providers!")

- seriously? I got more data-per-square-inch from the original presentation.

- thin fonts are overdone and hard to read.

- VCs don't care about presentations anymore, I got in YC20xx by .
