[... El mensaje de Reich es así de simple: "La desigualdad nos ha llevado a un callejón sin salida. El 70% de la economía depende del gasto de los consumidores. Pero la clase media no gasta por la pérdida de empleo y de poder adquisitivo. Y las empresas no contratan porque no tiene clientes. Entre tanto, los Gobiernos han caído en la trampa de la austeridad y hacen que se contraiga aún más de la demanda. Simultáneamente, permiten que el 1% de los más ricos se hagan con más y más riqueza". ...]

[In the days since the tragedy of Aaron Swartz's suicide, many academics have been posting open-access PDFs of their research. It's an act of solidarity with Swartz's crusade to liberate (in most cases publicly funded) knowledge for all to read. ...]

[Heisenberg's uncertainty principle turns up everywhere in quantum mechanics. The idea is that certain types of measurements like position and momentum are paired. By measuring one of the pair, we generate uncertainty in the other. This is also referred to as quantum back-action: the thing you are measuring pushes back on the measuring system, which generates uncertainty in some other property. This fundamental idea has some serious consequences when it comes to measuring very small stuff, like gravitational waves. ...]

[Two Neanderthals need a bow and some arrows. Grrmt can build a bow in 5 hours and arrows in 4 hours. Aaaargl can build a bow in 2 hours and arrows in 3 hours. Thus, in order to build what they need, Grrmt will take 5+ 4 = 9 hours, and Aaaargl will take 2 + 3 = 5 hours. 14 hours total will be spent by the both of them. ...]

[Description How does the sense of basic fairness--or selflessness versus selfishness--arise? How is it exhibited behaviorally? How is it maintained? Few topics hold more contemporary significance or have proved more elusive to specification in precise scientific terms. Current research perspectives on altruism, narcissism, and comity by distinguished behavioral scientists from around the world were brought together in a special issue of Current Psychology (Summer 1998) and are offered here in a useful compendium. ]

[... Sintomática fue la reacción histérica de algunos grupos de presión que, ante su falta de definición y programa, no tardaron en proyectar sus miedos y angustias más profundos ("Tercera República", "chusma juvenil", "populismo demagógico", "resentimiento de masas") sobre el nuevo campo de fuerzas que se abría. Desde este ángulo resulta muy interesante estudiar la lista de espectros del 15-M como proyección de diferentes imaginarios sociales ligados a una larga represión de la discusión política. ...]

[The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is proud to announce an innovative "first-of-its-kind" program for the academic sector, youth and others new to the world of Linux and Open Source technology. Created in partnership with a community of teachers,trainers and experts world-wide. The "Linux Essentials" program prepares the next generation to acquire the advanced skills needed to fill increasing shortages of workers in today's mixed IT environments. It supports government and educational authorities bringing Linux and Open Source to the classroom at much younger ages. Supporting learning and fun through skills competitions like World Skills and Euroskills. Supporting international collaboration and the development of teacher-tested educational initiatives for the classroom. ...]

[Lejos de ser una simple adaptación técnica a la "sociedad de la información", la evolución del derecho de la propiedad intelectual es una postura política. Con el pretexto de la "revolución multimedia", ciertos grupos de interés se han movilizado para solicitar y obtener una revisión del derecho de la propiedad intelectual en pos de su reforzamiento en beneficio de los detentadores de derechos. Han obtenido una extensión de la duración de la protección de las obras, la creación de nuevos derechos de propiedad intelectual - como el derecho conocido como sui generis, que protege la actividad, no inventiva, de elaboración de bases de datos a partir de elementos preexistentes -, la limitación de las excepciones legales - como el uso justo de las obras protegidas (fair use) -, la puesta en duda de las ventajas adquiridas por los usuarios (caso de las bibliotecas públicas), o incluso la posibilidad de patentar los programas informáticos. ...]

[Areas of inquiry once reserved for historians and social scientists are now studied by neuroscientists, and among the most fascinating is cultural conflict. Science alone won't provide the answers, but it can offer new insights into how social behavior reflects -- and perhaps even shapes -- basic human biology. An upcoming issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B features a collection of new studies on the biology of conflict. On the following pages, Wired looks at the findings. ...]

He summarizes his findings in a new set of ethical principles. Above all else, do no harm. Do not damage computers or data if at all possible. Much like the key element of the Hippocratic Oath.]
