Scott Adams Blog: Startup Country 07/27/2010 - 0 views

  • My idea for today is that established nations could launch startup countries within their own borders, free of all the legacy restrictions in the parent country. The startup country, let's say the size of modern day Israel, would be designed from the ground up for efficiency.
  • The entire banking system would be automated. There would be no cash in the start-up country. You wouldn't need to "apply" for a loan because the virtual bank would always have a current notion of your credit-worthiness.
  • The tax code in the startup country would be simplified to the point where residents might forget it exists.

  • Most of what is scary about the government having power is the lack of transparency. The startup nation would have full transparency. Any citizen could log on to his computer and see what court orders had been issued for what videos and why.
  • Arguably, China accidentally performed a variant of this experiment with Hong Kong. Oversimplifying the history, Hong Kong was part of China and leased to the United Kingdom for 99 years, like a startup country within a country.

Obama's small donor base image is a myth, new study reveals | Top of the Ticket | Los A... - 0 views

  • In fact, Obama's base of small donors was almost exactly the same percent as George W. Bush's in 2004 -- Obama had 26% and the great Republican satan 25%. Obviously, this is unacceptable to current popular thinking.
  • The myth is that money from small donors dominated Barack Obama's finances
  • It comes down to which definition of "small donor" you accept

U.S. Tries to Make It Easier to Wiretap the Internet - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct “peer to peer” messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order.
  • The bill, which the Obama administration plans to submit to lawmakers next year, raises fresh questions about how to balance security needs with protecting privacy and fostering innovation.
  • But law enforcement officials contend that imposing such a mandate is reasonable and necessary to prevent the erosion of their investigative powers.

Why Dunbar's Number is Irrelevant | Social Media Today - 0 views

  • Dunbar's number it basically says that the most amount of people that you can maintain stable social relationships with is 150
  • Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.

Government 2.0 and the Social Media Bubble - 2 views

      Entscheidungen werden von mehr Leuten mitgetragen ... müssen dadurch aber nicht besser werden. Ich sehe die Gefahr des großen "Blufs" ... Zahlt es sich aus, die MAssen begeistern zu wollen (die anscheinend ja nicht von selbst kommen), ist eine kleine elitäre Gruppe hochgradig involvierter nicht besser? Surowiecky sagt, dass kogintionsprobleme (wie viele Drops sind im dem Glas, wie schwer ist die Kuh?) sehr gut von der Masse gelöst werden, über beteiligung im Government meint er: "making policy in a democracy is not a cognition problem; it is a cooperation and coordination problem with fuzzier and less definitive answers" und ist der Meinung Wisdow of the crowd wäre hier nicht direkt anwendbar.

The Social Media Bubble - 1 views

  • Call it relationship inflation.
  • Trust
  • Disempowerment
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Hate. There's this old trope: the Internet runs on love. Equally, though, it's full of hate: irrational lashing-out at the nearest person, place, or thing that's just a little bit different.
  • Exclusion. Hate happens, at least in part, because of homophily: birds of a feather flock together. The result is that people self-organize into groups of like for like.
  • Value. The ultimate proof's in the pudding. If the "relationships" created on today's Internet were valuable, perhaps people (or advertisers) might pay for the opportunity to enjoy them. Yet, few, if any, do — anywhere, ever.

The Future of Privacy - 0 views

Obama's open government initiative failing in a big way - 2 views

  • open government initiative sounds good in theory, the statute is still too vague:
  • problem is a loophole in the Open Government Directive itself. By asking agencies to only inventory their “high-value” data it gave them an instant out for just about anything.
