HonkinNews for 11 July 2017 Now Available
July 11, 2017
The Honking News for July 11, 2017, takes a look at the strong growth of Dr. Michael Lynch’s Darktrace. For amusement, we compare the 6X increase in sales with Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s promise for growth. The segment concludes a bittersweet question, “Would HPE be growing in Dr. Lynch were still at yesterday’s Silicon Valley superstar?” Google’s super wonky Deep Mind artificial intelligence unit is opening an office in the vacation hot spot, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The trip to Edmonton is a chilly breeze from Mountain View. Some of the Edmonton Googlers may be making a reverse commute to Brussels. The European Union alleges that Google has abused some folks with restrictions on trivial things like Android. Censorship continues to be a hot topic among the online crowd in the top one percent who think about irrelevancies like free speech. China may filter online rich media. No problem with that because China has a pool of 1.4 billion to scan the digital flows for bad stuff. Facebook’s approach does not focus on socialism. The social media giant wants to keep Facebookland a bright, happy place. We also cover sexual harassment from the point of view of the Beyond Search goose. You will hear shotgun blasts, see a dead goose falling to earth, and get up close and person with AirBirds and a creep hoody. Silicon Valley is a jolly place.
