  1. "Let's end hazing. Again."
  2. This article, and the other articles in this "Room For Debate" about ADHD are awesome.
  3. Striking editorial by murdered Sri Lankan journalist published posthumously.
  4. Good for Zeynep publishing this. But I don't really see what the point is. The problem for democracy is that campaigning is about manipulating people to win votes, not about actually engaging in issues. The mass media approaches to this are not particularly less scary to me, even if they are not as effective as new more data-driven approaches.
  5. The Economist takes up the issue of network services and autonomy!
  6. Mostly a summary of how the CAFC is out of line in its strong support for pantents: "So, it is with only slight satisfaction that I report the Supreme Court yesterday accepted another patent case. This is another instance where the CAFC went far beyond merely interpreting the patent statute in order to benefit patentees and harm the public. I am confident it will be another instance where the Supreme Court will correct the CAFC."
  7. "Two recent articles call for an openness revolution in science: one on GigaOM and the other in the Wall Street Journal. But they’ve got it all wrong. These folks are missing that the process of scientific discovery is not, at its core, an open process. It only becomes an open process at the point of publication."
  8. Whatever. I'm psyched.
  9. Great writeup by Gelman.
  10. I'm a little disappointed in this article. It's a little incoherent and doesn't do a great job of talking about what it means by statistics. It's something about the political power of data collection?
  11. Yow.
  12. Wow, I don't think I've found myself is such load disagreement with James. I think the FB study was research. I think that the OKCupid case is much less clear.
  13. Cool article on Joi. He also published an "unabridged" version on his blog.
  14. Advertising companies thinks there is nothing wrong with creepy advertising.
  15. Amen.
  16. "We should legislate that developing, distributing, or running a program on generally used computing hardware does not constitute patent infringement."
  17. Interesting opinion article in favor of the LGPL for QT.
  18. A super important question. Very thought provoking.
  19. "The Electronic Frontier Foundation announced a new initiative on Tuesday to seek reform of the United States patent system. But conspicuously missing from the list is the most direct and obvious way to solve the problem: exclude software from patent protection altogether."
  20. Written by a UWComm graduate and forwarded to the faculty by Mac.
