Is Google search likely to improve, stay the same, or get worse? It seems to me it's trending downward. Whatever organizational issues are causing Google to flub their main product, they must be far-reaching. For Google management to w

The root cause isn't algorithms, it's a lack of accountability (both of companies and of users). The problem with 8chan wasn't some inadvertently harmful AI, it's that the site and its users damaged the world for several

I agree with all of that, but I think it augments my point. It's still the case that indies have more incentive to bash mainstream media than to praise it. An Alex Jones can't easily compete with a major news outlet to report, say

The internet is full of vaguely conspiratorial takes involving 'elites' and I believe it has more to do with internet culture than the facts behind the 2008 financial crisis alone. A theory recently occurred to me that I think is

It's an approach that didn't gain popularity. Bruce Schneier panned the idea, if I recall correctly, because he thought the extra traffic was wasteful. He's so well respected, perhaps that played a role. I think there are var

Great post! If the author reads this, for his/her next article in the series, please google articles on the 'spurious data' approach used by TrackMeNot. In my opinion, spurious data is the best approach to counter tracking, e

I agree. I don't know anyone my age who notices an improvement in the ability to find online information since about 2005. Yet the quantity of pages on the internet has grown by an order or magnitude over that time. Good search is no l

That seems to kick the issue down the road. It defines 'species' clearly, but it doesn't make it clear how to assess 'fertile reproduction', or why it should be the criterion.

This is off-topic, but when I was a Mac user, I always wishes Apple built a barebones graphical tool into the OS to view and edit SQlite databases. They pop up now and then, including via Apple applications, and it would be convenient to vi

It's the brevity and the parts that are missing (eg: 'It just scrolls like butter' or 'isn't that nice? Would you like to see it again?') Instead he just rushes along, hitting the required bullet points. It&#x2
