If we move away from G+, what would our future platform need?

Document-Management
* saving, searching, sharing of Text, Images, Articles, Links, Tables, Calculations
* configuration of visibility of documents

Acceptance
* will probably be met either way if the majority of the other requirements has been met

    Reddit has most of these.

    No it doesn't. You would probably want something like the Investigate Site or the wiki

    You missed some points:
    * Acceptance
    * Stability
    * Longevity

    Martin Zehetmayer (allthough I'd say that "Acceptance" is our least important issue... given that we're forced to migrate)

    Personally, I think that the features we're listing and organizing are the things that will best lead to "Acceptance." If these things are in place, moving from G+ won't hurt as much since those features are also present somewhere else.

    Acceptance to follow to one platform. Imo is the worst case scenario, that the Ingress Community as such splits up in various social media platforms.

    Maybe you can find a solution in this community (it is a post from the community, I can't share the link to the community)

    Mati JZ I appreciate it but we're not looking for a solution just yet.

    Currently we're analysing our needs and the current situation (maybe we'd even discover that G+ was a subpar option to begin with with far better ones available elsewhere)

    Martin Zehetmayer considering that essex exists to add value to ingress, we can't really divide up the community into multiple locations and act like essex is one community while expecting its members to post the same thing in multiple places so everyone has the same access to info.

    The most important thing is that niantic needs to know where essex is located so they can point agents to it since Niantic wants players invested in the game's lore. The worst thing that can happen is if essex keeps jumping from one platform to the next while Niantic adopts one we decide against using.

    Don't worry about Chinese agents, we all have proxy services to access Reddit, Ingress, Google or any blocked Website.

so, general question.

so, general question... we know that ADA passed the "turing test", we also have many studies showing how the turing test can actually be gamed by very complex programming and in fact you can write programs to create the allusion of AI for many (the chinese room thought experiment).  At what point are we certain that she began acting on her own and has not been following a program and orders by someone else.  Are we certain that those orders that she delivered for Jarvis and others and even the Katalena pre Zurich encounters, were not done on the orders of some programming.  NOt to call ADA a gun, but how certain are we she is not?  How can we prove, beyond doubt, that she is truly a separate entity working on her own and not some other programming? I would like to call for the evidence and proof that ADA is a complete entity. That she is not following someone else's computer orders, that she has a consciousness (or not). http://niantic.schlarp.com/_media/investigation:cha...

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you.

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you. What brings you here? What is it that you are investigating? Something in particular? Everything in general? Or are you merely following the story while making clever remarks from the side? And what are your results? What did you discover so far? Also, what methods are you employing, generally speaking? I am not looking for collective answers, but individual ones.
