Data science is the practice of producing knowledge rather than building/coding. You can make systems that leverage that knowledge in an automated matter, but when you are deciding…

(I am one of the people behind the website) We index everything that people believe is AI. Including GOFAI, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOFAI We also index incidents…

This [0] research paper sounds relevant to your "stegonographic social overlay network." [0] F. Beato, I. Ion, S. Capkun, M. Langheinrich, and B. P. (2013). For Some Eyes Only: Pro…

I don't think CryptoCat has been distributed as a traditional web app for at least a year (probably more). The browser code is distributed as an extension, which does not have the …
