Comment Re:Good thing America separated from the UK (Score 1) 125

The UK never had free speech or freedom of the press. Look at the guardian situation with the Snowden leaks. In the UK they went to the office with guns and forced destruction of documents. In America, although they thought about doing this, they realized the enshrinement of freedom of the press/speech would have led to an uprising. In the US without the Bill of Rights our citizens would be under the tyranny of power hungry politicians.

Comment AI data feed (Score 2) 56

This reads to me like google is trying to get shorter form videos to feed an algorithm that it's AI finds lacking. There is a longer play here than video slide decks. Goog-411 was not about voice directory it was about procesing voice to speech. Google books was more about data grabbing for language translation than a book selling venture. That being said: likely this will disappear once they get their data set.

Technology didn't cause this. Newspapers and web sites chasing revenue streams by sowing discord and monetizing fears via click bate is a people issue not a technology issue. Blaming cars for drunk dirvers is what you are doing. When there were only a few channels of journalism that needed to be controlled the CIA and intel agencies had an easier task. Most of the reporting that reveals their shady tactics is now discovered and reported on these new threatening channels. Like wikileaks or similar.

Why should Musk muzzle homself? Because you don't like what he has to say? The benefit to being a billionaire is that it is money enough to not to need to care what nightflameauto or whomever, says. I bet Musk works more hours a week than you or most people in most countries.

Wouldn't the bulk of this information be somewhat protected? Services, server names, ip addresses, aplication or database credentials, key files that are modified etc. I've thought of the wiki idea but without a way to protect the inforamtion it seemed irresponsble ot leave it open to the network.
