You run a server of any kind. In the old days of novell, we had severs with 6 year uptimes. Not possible today simply from patches, not crashes.

This service has the potential to get us closer to that ever distant 100% uptime. It could definately stack another 9 on 99.999

As a parent with a mentally disabled child, I do not agree.

Our children live in a world still devoid of danger and threat. They expect us, their elders to protect them from harm. That falls to the caretakers as well as us parents. Since we parents have little choice as far as where our children are housed everyday, we have to make other choices and decisions.

I do not see this as an over reaction. I see it as well thought out, and keeping the idea of the child's privacy in mind. The solutions that are out there and available to us today are poor worst, expensive at best. Considering whats available off the shelf, this should be doable on your own.

Does anyone here have any valuable advice other than satire and sensationalism? I could use it myself. I'm just as lost as the poster, and in desperate need.

Decent TTS in a widely-used device will basically kill the audiobook market, and authors should be compensated in some way for the revenue lost there. What's wrong with that?

No. They should not. Society moves on. Those left behind need to ask themselves why. Maybe they were never needed in the first place?

I see no reason AT ALL to ever protect dead markets OR the people who steadfastly insist to keep working in them.

Let them go down with their ship. It's their ship after all. It's their choice.
