Not really. It was hidden behind a flag, so where should the "entire ecosystem" (who?) show interest?

No, it looks like it's not getting enough attention. (Well, OK, it is not terribly surprising.)

tzm | karma 2568 | avg karma 4.1 · | 2012-11-29 20:48:36

I don't think it escaped everybody's attention.. there are several companies/people working on this.

smacktoward | karma 54886 | avg karma 6.13 · | 2018-01-05 22:22:53+00:00

So the question becomes, why didn't anyone discover it?

sandy23 | karma 8 | avg karma 0.5 · | 2019-10-24 02:32:04+00:00

Why doesn't anyone seem to be interested in this?

How is this not getting more notice? It must be isolated to only a few of us...

stephengillie | karma 8873 | avg karma 1.89 · | 2012-05-20 03:29:28+00:00

Given the sheer quantity of eyeballs on this story, I expect that the world would know if it exists.

Yeah, I saw it in a bunch of places. It didn't take off as a major controversy in the public consciousness, but that doesn't seem to be because it was hidden away.

nikolay | karma 7892 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2016-05-30 22:31:48+00:00

There was... if the general population cared, which it doesn't.

ben_w | karma 20467 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2021-06-09 22:42:37

To some of them, sure. But even fewer have heard of it.

bestcamgirl | karma 2 | avg karma 1.0 · | 2022-05-16 06:26:08

Not sure how many of you care about this. Majority will not be hit hard with this one at all but for some of us this is huge. I am sad to see how this went under the radar of public. Despite the niche, the size and importance of elaborated issue definitely deserved public attention.

Gordonjcp | karma 1157 | avg karma 0.59 · | 2023-04-06 08:02:54

So, something that a small minority of the planet's population would have even heard of?

freakwit | karma 264 | avg karma 3.22 · | 2011-09-03 22:33:04+00:00

Yes, but nobody knows about it.

rovr138 | karma 1704 | avg karma 1.46 · | 2021-02-07 20:41:45

They found it interesting, which is all they need. Maybe they thought others may not have seen it and should.

LeoPanthera | karma 26644 | avg karma 5.67 · | 2022-07-31 19:15:09

No, most people don't even know it existed.

makomk | karma 18695 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2013-07-09 10:19:38+00:00

I doubt there was ever an actual, official point where they formally acknowledged its existence - that'd draw far too much attention.

vidarh | karma 41717 | avg karma 2.6 · | 2019-12-01 08:08:02

If people commented on it, maybe I would care, but what I'm talking about is the total absence of any kind of noticeable reaction from anyone.

I'm genuinely curious if there are places where this actually draws attention. Especially when the linked article talks about "suspicion" not just curiosity.

Yes it does, it just doesn't make the news.

dspillett | karma 12622 | avg karma 2.43 · | 2019-08-22 09:36:47+00:00

I assumed it had already been quietly dropped, rather than just effectively hidden. It would be interesting to see how much use it actually gets these days.

xandrius | karma 978 | avg karma 2.0 · | 2024-04-30 09:26:55

That maybe fewer people would have even known about it and therefore decreased its importance as a target? /s
