Very cool. Thanks for the info. Based on that I assume this is a non-viable idea. If they know about it for offense, then they will likely be including it as part of their defense (conceal their own movements).
In fact, it may be precisely the opposite: that it (or something cloesly akin) is being used already generally validates the basic principles of any given "idea"
Just like Sergie Brin and Larry Page couldn't quit their jobs and become millionaires because search engines already existed, or Mark Zuckerberg couldn't quit his job and become a millionaire because social networks already existed :-)
I disagree. I see your posts on HN, and they seem worthwhile when I come across them. You belong where you end up, to a point. Don’t sell yourself short. We can all surprise ourselves.
