07/23/2004 06:30 PMHere's a story that just won't go away. As technology becomes ever
more important in society, parents don't want their kids to "miss out"
in any way, and have been getting them involved in technology at a
younger and younger age. The trend has been spotted in
mobile phone
usage in the past and now many are beginning to wonder
how young is too young for a kid to be using a computer.
Some parents are apparently buying computers for their kids before
they even turn one year old. Others, however, are afraid that such
early exposure to computers is damaging for kids who learn to only
focus on the computer and never learn spacial and physical things like
how to play with building blocks. That might be a bit extreme, but it
does seem that if you're still counting their age in months, they
probably don't need their very own computer. This article is also one
of the first I've seen that points out the fact that, whether the
parents want the kid to use a computer, since the parents are using
one already, it will just make the kids more interested. Thus, comes
the rise of "lapware," where a parent can hold their child on their
lap and play some sort of game on the computer, involving both the
parent and the child, rather than just seating the kid at the computer
on his or her own.

03/17/2005 03:23 AMAn interesting juxtaposition... from a couple of months ago:
[Bernard Ebbers,] The ousted chief executive of a giant
telecommunications company rocked with an accounting scandal told his
congregation on Sunday that he was innocent of wrongdoing. Appearing
at Easthaven Baptist Church in Brookhaven, Miss., as usual to teach
Sunday school and attend the morning worship service, Bernard Ebbers
made his first public comments about WorldCom since the disclosure of
$3.8 billion in improper accounting last week, The Wall Street
Journal reported."I just want you to know you aren’t going to
church with a crook,” Ebbers addressed the congregation at the end of
the service.
And from today's London Times:
BERNIE EBBERS, the former chief executive of
WorldCom, faces the rest of his life in jail after being found guilty
of orchestrating the biggest fraud in American corporate
history. ... The jury of seven women and five men found Ebbers
guilty on all counts in a Manhattan court.
Why is it that phone companies are always
defrauding either customers or investors or both?

The Times sets its WMD record straight
The Times sets its WMD record straight
05/26/2004 02:59 AMStay up late on the West Coast and you get tomorrow's New York Times
today. Tonight brings a long
"From the Editors" note that reconsiders the WMD
hysteria that marked some of its prewar coverage and marred its
reputation:
"It is still possible that chemical or biological weapons will be
unearthed in Iraq, but in this case it looks as if we, along with the
administration, were taken in. And until now we have not reported that
to our readers."
"We consider the story of Iraq's weapons, and of the pattern of
misinformation, to be unfinished business. And we fully intend to
continue aggressive reporting aimed at setting the record straight."
For the Times, this transparency thing is still very new. And
admitting that major stories that helped launch an ill-conceived war
were at best careless and at worst fraudulent is a painful thing for
any journalistic enterprise. But admitting mistakes is the first step
toward preventing their recurrence.
Now if we can only get our president to understand that principle.
Instead, here he is solemnly announcing, in his speech last night,
that "Iraq is now the central front in the war on terror." Sure it is.
How did it get that way? It wasn't such a front before we invaded. Our
mistakes -- Bush's mistakes -- opened another front for bin Ladenism
to exploit.
Will Saletan in Slate has a smart deconstruction of
the strange rhetoric in Bush's speech that omits any acknowledgment of
missteps and all reference to his own agency in the unfolding Iraq
disaster. Bush hasn't done anything; instead, "history is moving." It
would be funny if there weren't so many lives already lost, and more
on the line.

RDF-simple-API
Submitted by joeldg on Tue, 06/08/2004 - 16:11.
There is currently a lot of talk on the rdfdev list
over converting a version of RAP to work with a simple FOAF parser
that only needs to grab a few things.
Well, I agree with this on principle, I also
feel that 'feature creep' is what kills (or at least partially dooms a
lot of projects) and as I used to tell overzealous project managers
"Lets just get this working with the minimal features first" before
going head over heels into some bell or whistle or 'blinky-light' you
(or the client) would like to see in it.
I usually try to work this way. I manage most
of the time but often even I get stuck in the "it has to do
'everything'" mode and that will kill my productivity for a day or two
until I grab myself and shake for a while until I am back to the
"core" of what needs to be done.
When I worked as a systems analyst and would be
creating diagrams of core functionality for this or that it really
helped refine for developers (which I also was one of) and everyone
involved because it gave you a map. (last count I have done DFD's,
ERD's etc and even data dictionaries for over a hundred projects that
have been brought to completion for clients.)
So, lets just have a nice map for where this is
going "before" jumping off a proverbial bridge and then trying to
swing a grappling hook back up as we are falling.
Ask a few
questions (I know it seems simple, but bear with me):
1) What
does it 'need' to do?
2) What language(s) does it 'need' to be done
in?
3) What does the client want that can wait for a later refine
and further work? (i.e. what can they live without that they say they
cannot?)
4) What exactly do we need to do to support this?
5)
and finally, is there something that 'works' currently out there so we
don't have to do this at all? (programmers are lazy by
nature...)
Note the use of the word "need" above, if
it does not fit in that, it is extra and can wait or be
tossed.
As an example, for core functionality of FOAFnet, why
the hell would we ever want to put in WOT or airport codes? It is not
and will never be needed for that. (For sub-projects yes, but not for
FOAFnet core)
Anyway, I propose a marriage of a couple of
things.
1) a
pre-existing
class that has already been done that can handle
everything we currently need (triples-based-parsing) and it is faster
than RAP and sits at around 30k if you rip the comments.
2) my little rdf->tree parser which is easy.
(
here is the source) which is geared
towards being nothing but fast but is easily extensible with more
functions. (it fufills some of my core functionality for simplicity
and has already proved itself in the "real world" for a scutter I
wrote to comb through foafs (lj, typepad etc all that)
I think
that joining those two is perfect and that I what I will be working
on. RAP for base level usuage will still be too big because once you
made room to put in the kitchen sink you can't unmake the
room.
Another reality (that some people are going to have to be
force-fed) is that people who handroll their FOAF's are currently in
the MAJOR minority [editor's note:
sorry]. Almost all FOAF being used today is
generated on the big sites and uses only a small portion of the FOAF
vocab and then only the most stable and useful portions [of FOAF] or
portions that are easy to infer from their current data.
A lot of people are seriously paranoid about
privacy issues. For instance, the most oft asked question about
the
MeNowDocument
vocab is privacy issues. i.e. do people really need to know this about
me, and would anyone really care? I feel I have addressed a lot of
these issues in the spec itself (i.e. it is obviously optional, and
scripts handle most of it.) Anyway I digress.
Handrolled
FOAF's I predict will cease to exist within a year or two at most.
[editor's note:
here
here]This is a "machine" readable and
"writable" format people, and honestly, how often do you "view source"
on webpages anymore?
Feel free to disagree, but if you do, at
least let me know why.
Joel has been getting attacked for writing a
simple, fast, highly optimized FOAF parser that ONLY recognizes the
parts of FOAF - which are in our FOAFnet spec.
On one side you can say "that's all we need, so
let's not worry about anything else" - while on the other side
you can fear that your well tuned, highly refined, incredibly elegant
architecture and plans - which aren't done yet - will never happen,
because your spec is being highjacked by short term thinking
malcontents.
Guess which side I'm on?
Folks just have to realize that we have to take
baby steps before we can walk. It's really hard to get 25-50
companies - to all agree on a spec for passing entire social networks
between systems.
But we promise - we really do - that we'll add
more FOAF vocabulary - juicy items like Node ID,
foaf:knows or rel:acquaintance - just as soon
as we get really basic import/export working - with JUST:
- name
- image (depiction)
- email (sha1sum encrypted)
- and a list of names of
friends
That's it.
This is a message that Joel De Gan needed to send
to the FOAFnet and rdfweb heads who were trying to tell him that his
optmized parser was........

Record sales down 4 years straight
04/11/2004 07:00 AM"Fourth consecutive annual drop blamed squarely on illegal file
sharing" says vnunet. "The 2003 decline reflects consumers' continuing
practice to download songs illegally from the Internet" says the Miami
Herald. "Global music sales had another difficult year in 2003 under
the combined effects of digital and physical piracy and competition
from other entertainment products," the Hollywood Reporter parrots.
"Global sales of recorded music slid again in 2003 as piracy and
illegal downloading continued to inflict damage," Newsday harps.
"Industry executives blame European consumers for burning music onto
blank compact discs or downloading the music for free off the Internet
rather than buy from the local record shop" says Forbes. The The
Moscow Times claims "Pirates Taking a Toll on $32Bln Music Industry".
Not a single one of them mentioned the four year boycott of the
major labels, which started right before the slump in sales started.
