As Larry Lessig has long and presciently emphasized, law and technology are substitute methods of protecting an interest. You can sue a trespasser; but it may be cheaper just to put up a strong fence. We used to think that if the technological substitute was adequate, it would be superior...

Fancy a job?

Fancy a job? 06/29/2004 12:28 PM

My placement here in Lawrence, Kansas comes to an end in a few months time, and I'm now in the interesting position of needing to find my own replacement. I'm not going to beat around the bush: this is a fantastic job and an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for a way in to the online news industry. The team here has won so many awards it's hard to keep track of them all, and is very well respected within the industry.

We're looking for an experienced server-side web developer. Our platform here is mod_python on Apache, but detailed knowledge of Python is not as important as a solid understanding of the web, web technologies and how to build useful web applications. Some Linux systems administration experience is essential as we are responsible for a number of servers. Applicants must have a solid understanding of SQL (we use PostgreSQL) and relational database theory. Design skills are not important: we have a talented designer on staff (who is also a dab hand at CSS).

So why would you want to move to a tiny town in the middle of Kansas to work for a local newspaper? Firstly, Lawrence is not at all like the rest of the state. It's a college town (home of the University of Kansas) with a vibrant downtown area, a thriving music scene and a great atmosphere. The cost of living is low, the quality of living high and the bright lights of Kansas City are only a 40 minute drive away. Check out our local entertainment site, Lawrence.com, for an idea of just how much this little town has going for it.

More to the point though, you should move out here because this is a job like no other. We work in a highly creative atmosphere, with the time between someone having a great idea and that idea rolling out on one of our sites measured in days, if not hours. Our unofficial mission statement (according to my boss, Rob Curley) is to "build cool shit" - and we do. I've written very little about things we've done here over the past year but I plan to make up for it this week by publishing an entry every day focusing on one of the sites we've built.

If you have any questions, post a comment or contact me directly. If you want to apply, send a résumé to aholovaty and swillison both at ljworld.com.

Adrian has more information.

Technological diffusion patterns

Technological diffusion patterns 08/09/2004 06:02 AM

I get this feeling that the diffusion of new services and technologies such as blogs and social network services are not normal. Normal diffusion patterns are sort of bell curves that track mass media attention and other factors including effort on the supply side. With social network systems, there seem to be regional explosions of users. Orkut now has more Brazilians than Americans and I have yet to hear a good explanation of why. There are very uneven proportion of bloggers in different regions. The last I looked, Poland and Iran seem to have an unnaturally high number of blogs. Does the digital word of mouth nature of social software make it's diffusion faster (viral) and non-linear? Is the diffusion of other technologies in these markets and segments that are networked also change?

Is there anyone doing good work in this area? I'm sure marketers have their theories on this. I can imagine anthropologists and sociologists also studying this. What is the right way to study this?

Halfway through this movie you realize that the title monsters, the Alien and the Predator, have no reason to be in the same place at the same time. This ridiculousness ruins whatever else may be cool about the movie. Jason Silverman reviews Alien vs. Predator.

Plasq, a software collective who have been responsible for a great number of free and inexpensive audio tools for OSX (the musolomo realtime software looper being very worthy of note) have created Comic Life, a really smooth application that allows anyone with a camera or some drawing skill to create very high quality comics (I am creating one featuring my kid right now.) This is one of those programs that has to be used to be believed. Humbly submitted as software and developers that are best of the web. (via macintouch.)

Contests as the path to solving complex

Contests as the path to solving complex
technological problems 02/13/2004 03:48 PM
Perhaps one of the best ways to get the US economy going again is for the Government to dive into the business of contests.  Simply, cash awards to organizations that engineer and demonstrate breakthrough technology that solves specific problems.  We have seen a few minor efforts in this direction recently.  NASA has launched their "Centennial Challenges" program with $20 m for key technological breakthroughs.  DARPA is even getting into the act with a $1 m "Grand Challenge" for an autonomous ground vehicle that can navigate between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.  These contests compliment the now famous privately funded X-Prize that will award $10 m to the first organization that can get 3 people to 100 km above the earth and back twice within two weeks.  What do you think about contests (or a sequence of increasingly difficult contests that build on each other) for the development of unmanned Mars missions (at much less expense than the $820 m spent on Spirit and Opportunity), extremely low cost hydrogen fuel cells, 20 hour laptop batteries that cost less than $100, and more?  In my view, a billion $$ spent this way over the next couple of years would prove true McLuhan's dictum that for every great problem there is someone that doesn't see it as a problem.

BTW: there needs to be a lot of academic work done on how to make these contests effective.
