Was just thinking about exactly the whole Wiki ecosystem. It's created by individuals like us and should be available via maybe archive.org as a complete dump for individuals to play with. Are they available ?

Didn't realise it in 1995 when I started programming. By 2000, during the bust, many were talking about global disintermediation and empowering of individuals. And I kept arguing that in a decade and a half, there would be a consolidat

Safer in what sense ? What would be your take on government tolerance to the existence of such data ? Someone from the clandestine teams would always want to utilise it ? How well could the businesses resist. Anti competitive behavior, I wo
