Boston news

  • Where are the jobs ? This is the Information Age.

    The Information Age jobs will come from new forms of free exchange of information for value. This requires new markets fashioned from new property laws.

  • Has Europe become serious about our data rights ?

    In the name of the European Commission, Viviane Reding proposes new rules to strenghten our personal data rights. What should we make of it ?

  • From the Vistula to the Potomac

    The recent fight on how to curb digital piracy has shown today’s US Congress to be a XVIIIth century Polish parliament, lobbies playing the paralyzing role of magnates.

  • Capitalist angst

    Is capitalism in crisis ? True, ownership of data, today’s means of production, should be returned to the public. But do not hold your breath, the crisis has more to do with social solidarity and, ultimately, with democracy.

  • Human rights, tactics or principles ?

    Vinton Cerf came out against considering Internet access to be a human right. It is a shame to see such an honorable engineer fall victim of the current breakdown in social solidarity.

  • Public interest and private apathy

    Prevent markets from flash crashes, rule for or against nuclear energy, attack online piracy. Answers express the public interest. But what concepts lie behind social solidarity ?

  • Planet of the Apps

    Distracted, outsmarted, bound into serfdom by our apps, we are evolving into a dumbed down race. Will eprivacy saves us from the Planet of the Apps ? Dream on.

  • Societies of sinners must scale up

    Economic solidarity is intrinsic to capitalism but human nature undermines both. Society needs both mechanisms to remove temptation, and geographic expansion to remove the misfits.

  • Truth versus Justice, Man versus Machine

    Justice by machine is too unfair, Truth is too costly, but turning Justice into a market favors large defendents. Use mechanisms instead to enforce rules and trigger alarms. The larger the pirate, the easier to spot and stop.

  • Weighing scale

    Facebook and Google aspire to be the guardian of our unique identity. Yet our multiple roles in society call for different identities. Besides their singular role as personal data aggregators should preclude their self-interested ambition.
