[FRIAM] Explainer: understanding Sopa | World news | guardian.co.uk
If you are a U.S. citizen, this is important. Explainer: understanding Sopa Will 2012 see the end of the internet as we know it? The House Judiciary committee tried to finalize the Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) before Christmas for a vote early next year. But fierce opposition – much of it online – seems to have given pause to the bill's main author, Lamar Smith. He is now expected to hear from expert witnesses early next year before the bill goes to Congress. Watch this video for a guide to the fight that will likely become one of the big stories of the coming year http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2011/dec/23/sopa-stop-online-piracy-act FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
Re: [FRIAM] Explainer: understanding Sopa | World news | guardian.co.uk
I'd love to see us roll out our own internet via mesh networks, phones, wifi community networks and all the rest. It could be done. Its how it started .. DEC, PARC, and others had their own protocols built on top of physical layer nets, mainly ethernet. Intel got involved and the three of them built the first 1MB standardized ethernet, and worked with NSF to build standard protocols on top of the dirt cheap (Intel's chip) hardware. There has been a HUGE spurt in wifi WAN networks. Cybermesa is rolling one out for Santa Fe using brilliant new antennas with mesh networking, all based on cellular technology. Think big. We really can take back the network. Occupy The Net! -- Owen On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 1:46 PM, Tom Johnson t...@jtjohnson.com wrote: If you are a U.S. citizen, this is important.

Re: [FRIAM] Explainer: understanding Sopa | World news | guardian.co.uk
Nanci Paloski(sp) has stated that in essence SOPA is to heavy handed. Google has argude with mixed luck that the DMCA and Copyright law is sufficient for what SOPA wants to achieve.(See NY times articles). What bugs me about it-IF it passes google could get a court order because someone searched for Linux torent and ISO. BUT Because of the keywords ISO and Torent google would theoreticly have to contact someone who knows someone. Just a bad idea.

[FRIAM] Lean Start-Ups Reach Beyond Silicon Valley’s Turf - NYTimes.com
Fascinating new approach to startups: http://goo.gl/p3yjk What's really interesting is that the actual business model uses Machine Learning: develop a hypothesis (for a business) and test it using traditional ML method. The particular startup uses AI ML to build robotic weed killers w/o chemicals. One of our Stanford ML lessons was to analyse images with sliding windows for feature recognition, exactly the weed vs plant logistic regression problem discussed in the article. Quote: The start-up here points to the latest stage of evolution in Silicon Valley, the world’s epicenter of innovation. Over the years, the region has shown an unmatched economic dexterity in jumping from one industry of opportunity to another, from military electronics to silicon wafers to personal computers to the Internet. But the business of the Valley today is less about focusing on a particular industry than it is about a continuous process of innovation with technology, across a widening swath of fields. The trend reflects the steady march of that most protean of technologies — computing — as it makes further inroads into every scientific discipline and industry. Clean technology, bioengineering, medical diagnostics, preventive health care, transportation and even agriculture are part of the mix these days for the Valley’s technologists and entrepreneurs. The pace of discovery has quickened, not only for technologies but also for the process of finding out what companies will succeed. “What’s different in the Valley is that we’ve found a quasi-scientific method for reinventing businesses and industries, not just products,” said Randy Komisar, a partner in a leading venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, and a lecturer on entrepreneurship at Stanford University. “The approach is much more systematic than it was several years ago.” The newer model for starting businesses relies on hypothesis, experiment and testing in the marketplace, from the day a company is founded. That is a sharp break with the traditional approach of drawing up a business plan, setting financial targets, building a finished product and then rolling out the business and hoping to succeed. It was time-consuming and costly. -- Owen FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
