        Even without hovering drones, a lurking assassin, a thumping score and a denouement, the real-life story of Edward Snowden, a rogue spy on the run, could be straight out of the cinema. But, as with Hollywood, the subplots and exotic locations may distract from the real message: America’s discomfort and its foes’ glee.

        The dirty secret of the internet is that all this distraction and interruption is immensely profitable. Web companies like to boast about […], or offering services that let you […] "share the things you love with the world" and so on. But the real way to build a successful online business is to be better than your rivals at undermining people's control of their own attention.

                            Etymology 2

                            [edit]

                              Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese real, from Latin rēgālis (“royal”), from rēx (“king”) + -ālis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃rḗǵs (“ruler, king”). Equivalent to rei +‎ -al.

                              • (currency used in Brazil since 1994): from Unidade Real de Valor (“Real Unit of Value”), an intermediary unit pegged to the US dollar which was introduced during a transitional period from the cruzeiro-real as a measure to combat inflation. Although the word real is used with the meaning of “actual value” (hence the plural reais), a connection to the former currency real (plural réis) is likely also intentional. As such, most dictionaries inform Latin rēgālis as the word’s etymon.
