   First off, journalism is a multi-faceted problem that insiders think about in terms of their past relationship and outsiders think of with contempt. The above dynamics make it a very challenging problem to move from here to there. The fail

   I'm guessing you don't have a material Anglo-Saxon genetic pedigree, right? Way to whip-out the race card with no details deeper than: 1) explosion 2) arrest 3) school photo. Your conjecture is an embarrassment to this community.

   So all we need is regulation against DDoS and concentrated sale orders and we are all warm fuzzier again? Great! Who wants to lead the SRO? Or does more regulation do anything? Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or 18 U.S.C. §1030 As far as th

   Reddit can manage the volume if they get rid of the legacy media content. I don't see that happening with Conde Nast running the show though. Subreddits aren't as diluted by corporate content as /politics or /worldnews are, but reddit is

   If diluted quality and deluge quantity--firehouse, ahem--is what this thread is about, those are the points I speak to. Trivial information can be shared in 142 characters. Sure, T is used by some as an aggregator/reader/chat tool, but the

   As the other guy mentioned, devolving into 4chan, tumblr and reddit are what happens when there is no individual cost--disincentive, not necessarily financial--to polluting the public information pool. The first layer of defense is a scarc

   142 characters is not journalism and never can be. 142 characters is gossip--some truth mixed with lots of speculation and spin.

    Thanks for the input! I tend to adapt my comments into articles when the entire thought comes together coherently. I will write an article on the flaws of anonymity. Opportunity cost means trade-offs exist, but the internet already has p

    It's only the old public information structure that is broken. A purpose-built public information system is already well into development and early-adopters are seeing the future. I'm lean and committed, so feel free to engage in rational

    Namecoin and the system Assange is suggesting is unnecessary and highly complex, if it could be achieved and adopted to any meaningful level at all. The obvious hammer for this nail is just a radically transparent information system with a

    The fundamental flaw with an anonymity-structuree news information system as acknowledged by Assange: "There is many ways for people to transmit anonymously. One of the greatest difficulties for sources is their proximity to the material. S

    I agree with many of Assange's positions, but I disagree on one fundamental position: anonymity. Anonymity is where wikileaks breaks down. All of the lies and deception Julian speaks of are possible because there is no systemic transparenc

    Reddit became just another aggregator. Flooded with legacy media content and meme photos with a pinch of porn and a junk commenting system. All of the peer generated content is lost in the sea of irrelevance.

    Few people ask where politicians obtain their insights, ideas and policy positions. More should. When the current minority leader HOR, and former majority leader HOR, stated, "we have to pass the bill to see what's inside" and the individ

    Deflation is when counterfeited money (deposit liabilities/other side of debt-asset journal entry) are written off. Deflation in a debt-asset based financial system means money is destroyed and becomes more scarce and valuable. Since debt
