What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rachel Botsman ? In her witty new book Australian technology author and TED celebrity Rachel Botsman tells us why it did not work. Who Can You Trust? How Technology Brought Us Together and Why It Could Drive Us Apart might be a bit too perky for some but it reveals some deep truths.
With industrial power collapsed  social media’s “distributed trust” began its run to win popular trust.  Botsman  even claims to have predicted the next stage of evolution  anticipating Airbnb  Zipcar and Uber in  her  previous book. At first the masses took to social technology like ducks to water but few thought through the costs of power flowing from institutional experts to less sophisticated individuals. It turned out that these social media had institutions too  if less hierarchical  but still leading to someone at the top with a great degree of control over the people’s “open” media below them.
 Botsman  says  she  would not have written  her  book if  she  did not think distributed networks could solve many problems and develop popular trust  but the many examples presented in  her  book demonstrate that “distributed trust always seem to lead us back to centralized power ” with Facebook  Amazon  and Alibaba leading the list.
 Her  thesis is that distributed systems need to know who is telling the truth in order to be social but their media technology develop so fast and anonymously it becomes difficult to trace accountability. Perhaps 75 percent of automobiles will self-drive by 2040. How can sufficient trust develop in such a major activity in such a short time? Blockchains like Bitcoin may replace governmental currency and financial transactions. Robots threaten to take everyone’s job. The most famous bot was HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey and we all know what happened then. Some “trust pause” will certainly be necessary for such major social transitions.
Take the number one social media technology guy  Mark Zuckerberg  who created Facebook to be an open forum for public discussion. Yet  after social media was accused of biasing the presidential election even  he  had to reluctantly concede (the second time) that there was an abundance of fake news on  his  site  which  he  then promised to fix in a socially positive way.  His  solution was to balance alternative views by adding “additional perspectives ” including noting after doubtful material that fact checkers disputed the claims in the original published news. But who would do the “fact checking”?
 Botsman  does not mention  it  but Google’s top scientist Ray Kurzweil had bigger ideas. Computers would be thinking for themselves by 2014 with humans becoming immortal soon after. Humans would become immortal under Kurzweil’s Calico project to replicate nature’s control of mitochondrial DNA by moving toxic bacteria into the cell nucleus to stop aging. With age under control people would live forever. At the same time  artificial intelligence would develop computers that learn by themselves. Ageless individuals could then link an AI machine to their brain so they could give accurate and immediate responses to every kind of question. But if this takes place instantly  is that a person still a person or a computer?
China’s Social Credit System would produce a “social credit score” for every Chinese citizen and introduce national networks of shame to ameliorate and control unruly segments of the population. This system should have a bullish future in much of the world now under authoritarian governments.  Botsman  quips: “Today China  tomorrow a place near you.”
Not a place in the U.S. with its democratic government protecting privacy  right? One big obstacle to such protection mentioned by  Botsman  is that government regulation simply cannot keep up with the explosive rate of change in private social media technology. There is that free speech and press stuff but Congress just approved another renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act seventeen years after 9/11 and few doubt that some similar future horrendous terrorist act would make the government’s surveillance even more intrusive.
 Botsman ’s general solution to increase social trust is to rely upon reputation  which is sound  but extremely difficult to evaluate as  her  book proves.
How do we even know if  Botsman  isn’t a bot already  predicting China for us all?

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Deborah Danner ? City EMT Patrick Moore said he was prepared to move emotionally disturbed  Deborah Danner  safely out of  her  Bronx apartment â and then the shooting started.
An angry  Danner   66  had stopped screaming as Moore went to grab a chair used to move patients. A half-dozen police officers simultaneously entered  her  bedroom on Oct. 18  2016  the first responder testified Friday.
âI assumed they were going to restrain  her  â said Moore under questioning from Bronx prosecutor Newton Mendys in the murder trial of NYPD Sgt. Hugh Barry.
Instead  Moore recounted  he heard cops shouting at the heavy-set older woman to âput it down  get downâ â apparently a reference to a baseball bat that  Danner  was holding.

Moore recounted that the EMTs could hear  Danner  screaming when they reached the seventh floor of the building. When they reached  her  apartment   Danner  was holding a pair of scissors in  her  hands.

Within a short time   Danner  was conducting a âfairly normal conversation with Brittney â Moore testified  adding that he kept his distance from the patient to avoid upsetting  her  âin any way.â
Barryâs lawyer has argued the sergeant was forced to make a split-second life or death decision when  Danner  grabbed the baseball bat.
â Mrs. Danner  was the aggressor and  she  was about to kill my client â said defense attorney Andrew Quinn.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Stan Bowman ? The Blackhawks spent three days in Las Vegas before Tuesday night's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights but  general manager Stan Bowman  said  he  stayed away from the casinos.
"I have not gambled for one second "  Bowman  said with a smile Tuesday.
That doesn't match up with who  Bowman  is as a general manager  the type of executive who isn't afraid to put all of  his  chips in to make a trade deadline acquisition. And with about $2.5 million in cap space to play with after putting winger Marian Hossa on long-term injured reserve to start the season   Bowman  has room to make a move.
But 10 games into the season   Bowman   who spoke with reporters Tuesday  said he isn't "itching to make a trade" just because he has cap room.  He  has liked how the Hawks have started the season  especially against a schedule that included eight consecutive games against playoff teams from last season.
"We have got a lot of good players who are sitting out every night  so I don't know if we're going to be acquiring another player "  Bowman  said. "Things are going to change. Whether players' play will drop off  or players get injured. … If there's something that makes sense down the road  whether it's in a month or in three months  then we would look into it. But I don't think that's a top priority right now."
 Bowman  likes that the Hawks have become a more physical team on the bottom line  an emphasis of  Bowman 's in the offseason  with the addition of Lance Bouma and Tommy Wingels  and  he  said some of the Hawks' younger players such as forwards Nick Schmaltz and Alex DeBrincat have exceeded expectations so far.
"I'm a little surprised in a good way that Alex has been as good as he has been "  Bowman  said. "Over the summer  I expected  him  to play in Chicago. I wasn't sure if it was going to be October  or if it was going to be January  but  he  has played really well. That has been a pleasant surprise. Nick missed some time (injured)  but obviously he's showing the signs of having a breakout year."
 Bowman  also singled out defenseman Jan Rutta  who the Hawks signed out of the Czech league  as another player who has stood out.
 His  play has helped create a logjam of defensemen for the Hawks. The Hawks have eight capable blue-liners and it has been difficult for coach Joel Quenneville to balance who will play on a nightly basis. The Hawks scratched Cody Franson and Michal Kempny for Tuesday's game.  Bowman  said this wasn't a bad thing.
"Until someone starts struggling or until we have injuries  it's probably going to be that a good player who is playing well is going to be sitting out "  Bowman  said. "If you want to say it's a good problem to have  it's better than the alternative when you have (only) four defensemen you have faith in and you're scrambling to find five and six. We have to stay patient and things change quickly."
 Bowman  may be a gambler  but  he  doesn't believe now isn't the time to strike.
