When Your Bank Has No Clue How Much
Money You Have 06/07/2004 10:25 AM
The Royal Bank of Canada is still trying to sort out the mess from last week when their computer "upgrade" appears to have stopped processing transactions, meaning that money that should have gone into accounts (especially direct deposit payroll checks) never showed up. The bank won't explain exactly what went wrong, though they admit that's because everyone who understands it has been busy working on the fix. Still, this does make you pause and wonder about how much we rely on computer systems to function properly to go about our daily lives.

Jeremiah writes "Amidst the public ballyhoo about how rampant P2P piracy is costing the music business its very life (gasp! NO!), BMI announced it collected a record level of revenue and royalty payout to its artist members. From their press release: "BMI has reported revenues of $673 million for the 2004 fiscal year, an increase of nearly $43 million, 6.8% over the prior year. Royalties of more than $573 million were distributed to our songwriters, composers and music publishers, an increase of $40 million or 7.5% from the previous year, and the most ever paid by an American PRO." Another interesting tidbit: "During the period 1995-2004, BMI had an average annual revenue growth rate of 9%..." If I read this right, BMI has been reporting solid growth over the last nine years, which makes me question the industry's claims about P2P. Either P2P ate into their growth (not mentioned), they found a way to cope with it (plausible), or it may actually help music sales. Whatever. Reminds me a bit of a spec I did for a life-insurance company's radio ad: Money , Money, Money (mp3 file)."

Whuffie's mathematical failings

Whuffie's mathematical failings 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Interesting paper evaluates the mathematical flaws in reputation systems: if the right thing to do would seem suspicious, then reputation systems encourage you to do the wrong thing, to enhance your reputation.

Recall that an action is vulnerable to a temptation if when the short-run players participate, the temptation lowers the probability of all bad signals, and increases the probability of all others. In this case the bad reputation result requires the exit minmax condition, as demonstrated by the example in Section 4.4. Notice, however, that in the example the relative probability of g and r is changed by the temptation. If the temptation satisfies the stronger property that the relative probability of the other signals remains constant, then we can weaken the assumption of exit minmax. In this section we develop this result, and give an application to games with two actions.

Opinion Laundering Thrives

Opinion Laundering Thrives 06/23/2004 10:39 AM

Tim Lambert: W hen Think Tanks Attack. Why are all these think tanks so down on Open Source? Well, the Small Business Survival Committee is concerned that using open source will expose small business to the risk of lawsuits. Citizens Against Government Waste is concerned that the Government might waste money on Open Source. Defenders of Property Rights is concerned that Open Source might be a threat to intellectual property rights. However, I was able to detect a common theme to all their criticism. They all seem to be funded by Microsoft.

This piece isn't absolute proof, but it's another layer of circumstantial evidence that Microsoft is continuing its campaign of what I've called "opinion laundering" to make a case against LInux and other free software. (See previous looks at this subject here, here and here, for example.) Microsoft is hardly alone in this activity, of course. Lambert's article looks into the tobacco archives and shows how major think tanks were paid by tobacco companies and took positions congruent with the tobacco interests' own views. The bigger problem is that we often don't know who is funding which think tank, and many won't tell us. Even the ones that do say they're getting some money from companies like Microsoft won't say how much. If the "contribution" is .001 percent of annual funding, that's trivial. If it's 50 percent, that's not trivial. But we are never told this relevant information. None of this is illegal, but it's definitely sleazy. We need laws, not that this Congress or administration will every touch the topic, to force think tanks to reveal the sources and amounts of their funding in amounts over, say, $500. That would let individuals continue to contribute in privacy, but would shine a needed light on the opinion laundering that is now so prevalent. In the meantime, when a think tank takes any position on just about anything, your first instinct should be to ask, "Did someone pay for that opinion?"

Oracle, Hypocrisy and Opinion Laundering

Oracle, Hypocrisy and Opinion Laundering 05/09/2004 12:57 PM
On April 27, a Washington lobbying organization, the Association for Competitive Technology, or ACT, announced it had signed up two new members from Silicon Valley. One was VeriSign. The other was Oracle. Companies work with trade and lobbying organizations all the time. But this announcement, by a group best known for backing Microsoft in its antitrust battles, was surprising. Only four years ago, Oracle had done its best to discredit the organization it was now joining.
