Surely that much data has value somewhere, and a marketplace can be formed where decaying film on one side is auctioned to AI training data stores on the other. Older material is more valuable since it starts human measurement earlier, and

Once again I get the distinct feeling that networks talk behind our back in a phylogenic tree of patois obfuscated by deep time. (Where deep time for computers is like 30 years).

So many examples of bad definitions: German[1] electron charge[2] music notation[3]! But in the end, I think we have to largely give up the struggle against bad notation, of which spelling is just a part. If it really bothers us we can crea

You can turn off JavaScript execution in all browsers by going to about:config and setting javascript.enabled=false. It's not a button, but I think it's okay. Browser have long given up trying to be document viewers... I know, a

Out of curiosity, what do you think credibility is? How do you think it is acquired? Do you think you have credibility? If so, why? Personally I don't find it odd that someone might reject "mainstream reality" as not credib

It's (mostly) a good argument, and it needs making. I'm glad he did this. But I would still allow the project. I do not like Musk, but I like even less the tendency for projects to get delayed or cancelled because of infinite envi

Having access, using access, using access to detect threats, and using access to detect leaks are 4 different capabilities. If I was NSA chief I personally would rank "proactive leak detection" far below "proactive threat det

I think ICs are already in all the major social media back-ends that a nation hosts. I think that allies (like Israel and the US) regularly trade access to circumvent laws preventing surveillance of own citizens. Meanwhile LEOs of all strip

Nindalf is correct: the primary reason is lack of desire. But there are other reasons - these are the reasons that people who already like to program don't do so on their phones. Optimistically, improved interfaces (e.g. AI listening t

Yes, this is essentially it. There's a shape to the causal connections in the real machine that must be respected at higher levels of abstraction. In particular, the shape I mean is that basic mechanism of computation where you have

Well, in my defense I did offer a "line of reasoning" and not just a flat contradiction with no support. Also, I'm sorry for any discomfort. To use an analogy, if your friend starts dating a girl that you know is bad for him,

The pedagogical downside of Haskell is that it ignores the physical reality of the machine. Physically, a computer is imperative, has mutating state, and is filled with all kinds of possible race conditions. Even after you apply the operati

I agree. But the way to get a comprehensive solution is to understand the technology changes that have changed our world profoundly, and why current law is no longer sufficient. To wit, humans have invented invisibility, and now we must dea

Wait so its not a market? I thought this was a resource where black hats go to sell their data. But you're saying that Genesis is the only black hat, and their "market" is just selling their own data?

So, as a web programmer, I'd like to infer how this data got into the marketplace in the first place. The offerings are all powered by browser data exfiltration! Which means their vector is another process on the host, or it could be a
