On: Reaching new records in speech recognition

[sslalready]

What's up with the lack of https and encryption in IBM's cloud? I'm sure your machine learning stuff is great and all but the lack of proper encryption and security measurements makes it a total no-go. How can you expect anybody to take your cloud services seriously when you do http in 2017? I'm asking as someone who had their boss talked into trying out ML stuff one Bluemix by your sales people.

Can you give me an example?

http://stream.watsonplatform.net/ (the domain that the speech APIs use) redirects to https. Ditto for http://gateway.watsonplatform.net/ which is what most of the other APIs use.

Both of the linked demos also redirect to https if you try a http URL.

Yes, most of your links (just like many of IBM's cloud related web services). If anything you, IBM and any potential customers, should be seriously concerned that they begin with http:// in the first place.
