conference-within-a-conference
12/20/2003 09:44 PMAt this year's O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference, there are 27
night sessions reserved from allocation by the organizers, left open
to be a "self organizing conference-within-a-conference." The idea is
that ETCON attendees propose sessions on the open wiki, and vote on
which they'd prefer to attend.
We're not looking for polished presentations. We'd prefer "white
board" sessions on your works-in-progess, rough demonstrations with
promise, concept and code (with an emphasis on running code, even if
it doesn't yet fully represent the concept). You should be prepared to
take input, answer questions, engage in discussion, and be open to
altering your conceptions and mucking about in your source. Oh, and
have a good deal of fun while you're at it.

MIT vs. Tim O'Reilly

02/10/2004 02:56 AMThe MIT technology review just published this interesting article on
the 10 Emerging Technologies That Will Change Your World (registration
required). It's a good article to read in preparation for the O'Reilly
Emerging Technologies Conference that I'm going to next week. It is
interesting to contrast Tim O'Reilly's vision with MIT -- O'Reilly is
much more centered around software and the sociology and politics of
software, with a little bit on hardware and biology, while MIT's
article selects technology to highlight from a somewhat broader
field....

The O'Reilly Factor
The O'Reilly Factor
12/19/2004 03:40 PMI'll get back to the history tomorrow (Saturday). For now, though, I
want to tell you about my experience tonight as a guest on the Bill
O'Reilly show. I received a call this afternoon (Friday) from the
producer inviting me to debate O'Reilly on the question: “Is dissent
disloyal?” After the producer and I discussed this issue, O’Reilly
(according to the producer) decided to redefine the question: “Can an
American want the United States to lose the war in Iraq and still be
patriotic?”
Of course, this is a loaded question. It not-so-subtly implies that
those who oppose the war want the United States to lose and, even
worse, want American soldiers to die. One of Joseph McCarthy’s
favorite tactics was to imply that anyone who believed in the social
or economic principles of communism also supported the violent
overthrow of the government. The tactic of guilt-by-inference is
all-too-familiar in American history. (I'll return to McCarthyism in
my next entry.)
In any event, in our “debate” O’Reilly insisted on his “narrow”
framing of the question and, when I called him on the issue, denied
that he intended to imply anything about those who merely oppose the
war. I accepted his framing of the question (it is, after all, his
show) and argued that a patriotic citizen could in principle want the
nation to lose a war if the war is unjust and if losing meant that
fewer American soldiers would die for no good reason. O'Reilly
maintained that losing a war necessarily means that more American
soldiers will die than continuing the war and that no one could
therefore patriotically wants the nation to lose. O’Reilly tossed out
such ugly phrases as “despicable,” “traitor,” and “disloyal” to
describe those who would disagree. The purpose, of course, was to
excite his audience.
After the show, I received dozens of emails, most of which were along
the following lines:
“You ought to be arrested, tried, convicted of wartime treason. And I
don't have to tell you the penalty for that.”
“I hope they are checking you out for being a traitor!!!”
“You are not only despicable, but should go ahead and move out of the
USA.”
“I must imagine, Mr. Stone, that you will look over your shoulder a
little bit, because maybe some soldier in a foxhole somewhere might be
a tad angered with you and your lunacy. There may be a few G.I.s in
Chicago even that would like to ‘speak’ with you.”
“There is the tendency for citizens to take the law into their own
hands in these cases. Decent, ordinary people, not of the left, are
angry enough at the far left to be willing to go along with things you
would consider unconscionable.”
“You're a despicable Piece of feces, A Gutless Traitor. and I strongly
suggest that you get your Terrorist Sympathizing Worthless ass out of
this country while you can still walk and talk.”
And so on. What do you make of all this in light of our on-going
conversation?

O'Reilly and the Cold War
O'Reilly and the Cold War
12/19/2004 03:40 PMThanks for the amazingly thoughtful and interesting comments on the
O'Reilly show. I want to answer one questions about that because
several people raised it: Why would any sensible person agree to be a
guest on that show? Truth be told, I've always in the past declined to
be on the Factor and other shows like it. I agreed this time because
the issue "Is dissent disloyal?" is important, I've thought a lot
about it, and I thought I might be able to contribute something
useful. And I would have, had he not changed the issue! But, since the
main thrust of my guest stint on this blog is learning lessons from
past mistakes, I won't do it again! (The reason, by the way, is not
because it's unpleasant, but because no one should allow himself to be
used by a demagogue.)
Speaking of which, let's return to our history. We left off with the
Japanese internment. As several comments noted, the Supreme Court in
1944 upheld the internment in the case of Korematsu v. United States.
In effect, the Court held that, in wartime, we all have to make
sacrifices, and it couldn't say that the decision to internment these
people was not a rational military decision at the time it was made.
Korematsu has gone down as one of the most profoundly embarrassing
decisions in the history of the Supreme Court, and the nation has in
many ways confessed the unconstitutionality of the internment in the
sixty years since the decision. (As an interesting aside, by the way,
I sumbitted a friend of the Court brief on behalf of Fred Korematsu
--he is still alive and flourishing -- in the Guanatamo Bay, Hamdi,
and Padilla cases in the Supreme Court last spring.)
At the end of World War II, Americans were optimistic. We had the
strongest military in the world, we had just won a "great" war and we
had clearly been on the side of the angels. The world was at peace.
Within a short time, however, everything changed. Although the Soviet
Union had been our ally during the war, relations collapsed beween the
U.S. and the Soviet Union as the need for that alliance disappeared.
Within a stunningly short period of time, the American economy took a
nosedive, there were revelations of Soviet espionage, the Soviet Union
exploded its first atomic bomb, China fell to the Communists,
Americans began to build bomb shelters as they prepared by nuclear
bombs to rain down upon our cities, and the Korean War burst upon the
scene.
Who was to blame? How did the Soviets get the bomb? Why had China
fallen to the Communists? A group of anti-New Deal Republicans and
conservative Southern Democrats had the answer -- it was American
Communists who had sold us out and were working to further the Soviet
cause. Men like Richard Nixon in California and Joseph McCarthy in
Wisconsin began to play the Red Card in order to get elected, and they
did. In the 1946 elections, the Republicans, who now portrayed the
choice as one between Communism and Republicanism, picked up 54 seats
in the House. After being out of power for 16 long years, the
Republicans had found a strategy that could propel them back into
power.
Democrats, who were overwhelmed by the growing anti-Communist
hysteria, jumped on the bandwagon, afraid to resist. Within a few
short years the United States had a new federal loyalty program for
over four million government employees, the House Un-American
Activities Committee investigated thousands of individuals to
determine if they were secret Communists, state and federal
governments adopted their own loyalty programs, investigations,
blacklists, and anti-Communist laws. Tens of thousands of people were
threatened, intimidated, fired, humiliated, and even prosecuted.
Who were these people? Were they spies and sabotuers? No doubt, there
were Soviet agents in the United States. But they were almost never
the target of these actions. They were too well-hidden for that.
Rather, these actions were cynical efforts to make political hay by
taking advantage of, and exacerbating, the fear that was already upon
the land. So, who were these people?
After the Depression, many Americans began to search for answers to
what had happened to the nation. Many toyed with communism. At this
time, the Communist Part of the United States was a lawful political
party that ran candidates for public office throughout the nation. It
stood for such causes as women's rights, the rights of labor, and
public housing; it opposed the rise of fascism in Europe and racism at
home. As many as 250,000 Americans joined the CPUSA in this period.
Moreover, many millions more participated in CPUSA events or joined
other organization that shared some of the goals and programs of the
CPUSA. During World War II, we fought side-by-side with the Soviet
Union, and FDR encouraged Americans to see the Soviets as our allies
and friends.
After the war, though, all this fell apart. And suddenly the most
dangerous question in America was: "Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party or a member of any organization that
is or was affiliated with the Commnist Party or have you ever attended
an event sponored by the Communist Party, or signed a Communist Party
petition, or attended a Communist Party rally, or read a Communist
book?" An affirmative answer to any of these questions would
immediately cast doubt on the patriotism and loyalty of the
individual. After all, how do we know you're not still a Commie who is
secretly working to subvert the government of the United States.
This was the heart of McCarthyism.

Etech is regarded by many as the best tech conference of the year,
always in step with the latest creations and aspirations of the alpha
geeks, having evolved from
the Peer-to-Peer Conference in early 2001 and P2P & Web Services in
late 2001 to the current multi-tracked annual conference starting two
years ago. (Incidentally, the Creative Commons concept was in
troduced at ETCon 2002. How time flies.)
Matt

Linksvayer will be attending. Stop by the Creative Commons booth,
or better yet our parti
cipant session (time and location yet to be announced). We'll be
introducing a new CC metadata-enhanced application. Hint: it's

challenges, heretofore unmet.
If you're in the area but not an attendee, you can still reg

see you there!
Mr. O'Reilly, please just stop.
Mr. O'Reilly, please just stop.
07/24/2004 01:10 PMMr. O'Reilly,
You have declared a "war" on the New York Times. That's good for you,
good for them, and good for our democracy: Strong opinions deserve
strong spokesmen. Your battle will help sharpen a debate about matters
important to the Republic.
But in waging this "war," you are continuing to abuse a man whom you
have wronged, and to whom you owe an apology.
On February 4, 2003, Jeremy Glick was your guest on THE FACTOR. Glick
had lost his father in the attack of 9/11. He had also signed an ad
criticizing the war in Iraq. You were "surprised" that one who had
lost his father could oppose that war. And so you had him on your
show, presumably to ask him why. (Here's a
clip
from
Outfoxed putting this story
together.)
You might not remember precisely what you said on that interview, or
more importantly, what Jeremy Glick said. So here's a
copy that you can watch. Nor may you remember precisely what the ad that
Jeremy Glick signed said. Here's a
copy
that you can read. And when you've watched what was actually said, and
read what was actually written, I'm sure you will see that the
statements you continue to make about Jeremy Glick are just plain
false. Not Bill Clinton "depends upon what is is" false, but false the
way most Americans learned growing up: just not true.
For example:
- in the February 4th interview, you
said the ad "accused the USA itself of terrorism." Read the ad,
Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
- in the February 4th interview, you said the ad "equates the United
States with the terrorists." Read the ad,
Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
- in the February 4th interview, you said the ad "absolutely says"
that the United States is to be "equated" with the terrorists. Read
the ad,
Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
- on February 5th, you told your viewers that "Glick was out of
control." He may have been out of your control. But you and our
government have got to learn that just because someone disagrees with
you, he doesn't become a security threat. Again, watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He was not "out of control."
- on February 5th, you told your viewers that Glick was "spewing
hatred for this program." Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He criticized you, not the program,
for unethically using sympathy for the 9/11 victims for your own
political ends. He was calling your behavior improper. You had not
earned his hatred.
- on February 5th, you told your viewers that Glick was "spewing
hatred for ... his country." Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He said no such thing. He specifically
distinguished the people he was criticizing from "the people of
America." He, like the rest of us, loves our country, even if we
disagree with its political leaders, or your political views.
- on February 5th, you accused him of using "vile propaganda." What
does "propaganda" mean to you, Mr. O'Reilly? He was disagreeing with
your views. Why is that "propaganda"?
- six months later, you said that Glick said that the Bushes "were
directly responsible for 9/11." Again, watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He said no such thing. Indeed, he
twice denied it.
- eleven months later, you said Glick "came on this show and accused
President Bush of knowing about 9/11 and murdering his own father."
This, Mr. O'Reilly, is a total, if not pathological, fabrication.
Glick said nothing about Bush "knowing" about 9/11. He said nothing
about Bush "murdering" his own father. Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. Your statements characterizing what
Glick said are absolutely false.
- just last week, you again repeated the claim that Glick said that President Bush was
"responsible for his father's death." He said nothing of the
sort.
- just last week, you repeated the claim that Glick "implied that the United States
itself was a terrorist nation." Glick said nothing of the sort.
- just last week, you said Glick said "America itself was responsible for the 9/11
attack." Glick said nothing of the sort.
- And finally, and most extraordinarily, just last week you repeated the claim that "security actually had to take the guy
out of the building, he was that out of control." This, Mr. O'Reilly,
you know to be absolutely false. Indeed, it was you who
threatened physical violence against Mr. Glick after his interview,
and your own staff that apologetically begged Mr. Glick to leave as
quickly as he could, fearing that if you saw Glick again, as they
said, you would "end up in jail."
I understand how someone
loses his temper, Mr. O'Reilly. I have done the same myself. But a
decent man apologizes for his lack of control, and he certainly
doesn't continue to abuse someone he has wronged.
Mr. Glick is not the New York Times. He will not earn more money from
higher ratings because you attack him so viciously. Neither he nor his
widowed mother get any benefit at all from seeing Glick slandered by
your on a regular basis.
You are wrong about the facts, Mr. O'Reilly. And you are wrong to
continue to do such harm. Have the courage to admit your error.
Apologize to Mr. Glick, and let him go back to a life that has been
made difficult enough by, as you said, the "barbarians" who killed his
father. This family has suffered enough from barbaric behavior.

Lessig: Shame on you, O'Reilly
Lessig: Shame on you, O'Reilly
07/24/2004 04:14 PMLarry Lessig has written a long open letter to Bill O'Reilly that
opens "You have declared a 'war' on the New York Times. That's good
for you, good for them, and good for our democracy: Strong opinions
deserve strong spokesmen. Your battle will help sharpen a debate about
matters important to the Republic." Lessig then proceeds to take
O'Reilly to task, point-by-point for an ongoing campaign of
pathological libel agaist Jeremy Glick, the son of a 9/11 victim who
spoke out against the Bush Presidency and the war. Glick appears in
Outfoxed, a new documentary that criticises O'Reilly and his network,
and in answering the charges raised in Outfoxed, O'Reilly has chosen
Glick as a symbol of what he hates, and in order to make his point, he
has been lying repeatedly about what Glick said and did. Lessig's
point is that attacking a giant media organisation is one thing, but
using your on-camera bully pulpit to repeatedly slander someone who
has already lost so much is unconscionable.
# on February 5th, you told your viewers that "Glick was out of
control." He may have been out of your control. But you and our
government have got to learn that just because someone disagrees with
you, he doesn"t become a security threat. Again, watch the interview,
Mr. O"Reilly. He was not "out of control."

the 9/11 victims for your own political ends. He was calling your
behavior improper. You had not earned his hatred.

Today, at OSCON in Portland,
Dale Dougherty and I
announced a new O'Reilly magazine called
Make. It'll be a
quarterly, full-color magazine filled with fun projects and hardware
hacks involving technology. (Dale is the editor and publisher, and I'm
the editor-in-chief. Thanks to BB's own John Battelle for getting me
involved!)
Make will have 5-minute tips you can use to improve your
gadgets, networks, and computers, as well as much longer projects that
might take several days (or weeks) to complete. The first issue is
coming out in January. If you're interested, visit the web site and
sign up for the newsletter. I'll also be running the Make
blog on that page. I hope that a lot of BB readers become
Make contributors, too. Please send me your ideas for hacks,
tips, tricks, workarounds, neat things to build, useful tools, etc. Link
