Spam Influx Reaches New Heights

Spam Influx Reaches New Heights 09/11/2004 03:58 AM
Spam--unsolicited, usually dubious commercial e-mail messages--accounted for 82 percent of all the inbound e-mail processed during August, and made up 90 percent of all mail sent during one spam-filled day last month, according to e-mail security firm FrontBridge Technologies. The company says the latest flood of spam was spurred by back-to-school specials and political pitches.

According to FrontBridge, it blocked 2.5 billion spam messages in August, of 3.1 billion messages processed during that month. The e-mail storm reached a peak on August 30, when 90 percent of all the messages processed by FrontBridge were spam. FrontBridge, which offers e-mail management and security services for companies, compiled its data from more than 2200 global customers and 15,000 e-mail domains.

Fear Itself

Geek Conferences: Nothing to Fear but
Fear Itself 02/16/2004 05:37 AM
Is the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference elitist? This question seems to be stirring up the blogosphere, and causing lots of good people who I read and like to throw verbal bricks at each other. I thought that as someone who is clearly not a member of the blogging elite, I might have a useful perspective to offer. Is the conference elitist? Of course it is - and no, it isn't. Both are true. It is elitist in the sense that it requires interest, knowing that the conference is going to happen, and being able to come up with the large amounts of time and money to attend. This rules out a very large proportion of the world. However, if someone is motivated and willing to rough it, it is possible to attend the conference for a lot less money than the standard cost of the conference and swanky hotel. In my case I found cheap late night flights on Southwest, stayed in a very cheap hostel (though not as cheap as the hacker loft crash pad), and got a free pass to the conference by writing and asking Tim O'Reilly nicely for one -- I saw other free passes being given away via the Wiki. So the money doesn't have to be the huge barrier it seems like at first, but attending does require a bit of luck and or chutzpah, geographical proximity, and being willing to stay in considerably less than stellar accommodations. The conference can also feel elitist because so many of the people who attend know each other. Many of them have long-standing professional, technical and personal ties (and ongoing feuds). If, like me, you are somewhat reticent by nature, you don't have ties to lots of people at the conference, and you don't have any particular product or idea to promote, it can be easy to feel intimidated or like an outsider surrounded by insiders. For instance, one day of the conference I ran into Dan Gillmor, Doc Searls, Micah Sifry and Scott Rosenberg at a cafe next door to the conference. I read 3 out of 4 of them regularly, I respect their work a lot, and I would have enjoyed sitting at their lunch table and listening to them talk. Did they invite me to join them for lunch? Of course not, no more than I would invite a random stranger I saw...

Fear of RSS

"However, whether or not to use RSS on your site should no longer be an option. I believe it has become a necessity if you wish to compete with others in your industry....

For many users today, bookmarks have become useless since we have too many of them. Bookmarks allow for information overload just as easily as RSS does, but the difference is that RSS allows updates through all that information overload. A bookmark gets hidden, but if you update your site then the RSS feed will reflect that and tell the reader its time to view the content....

With the plethora of sites around fighting for the mindshare of your readers becomes essential. Why lessen your chances by not including a RSS feed? That opens the gates for everyone else to increase their readership. RSS feeds create more opportunities and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." [BusinessLogs, via del.icio.us/tag/rss]

Fear Itself: an american journalist wants to put the threat of terrorism into perspective, and elects to ride on a bus line in Jerusalem, the train line through Madrid, and a British Airways flight said to be a bombing target. He comes away with it unscathed but the stories he tells about the history of terror, especially in Israel, is chilling and daily life in some parts of Jerusalem sounds like scenes lifted straight out of Brazil.

Look of fear

Look of fear 01/06/2005 12:14 PM
David Pescovitz: Neuroscientists at CalTech are studying a woman (known as SM) who can look at a person and recognize when they're happy, sad, or angry. But she can't tell if someone looks frightened. The reasons they've uncovered could someday lead to new treatments for people with autism. From News@Nature:

The researchers were intrigued to find that SM totally avoided looking at people's eyes. She discerned her information simply from looking around the nose and mouth.

This was generally enough for her to identify emotions such as happiness or anger, where features such as a smile, or bared teeth, are important.

But wide eyes are a particularly important component of a fearful expression. Because SM was only looking at the nose and mouth, she did not notice the eyes and concluded that the person was feeling neutral.

"First you have to look at the eyes, and then the brain has to make use of that information to figure out it's fear," explains (researcher Ralph) Adolphs.

Don't fear the patent

Don't fear the patent 06/05/2005 11:35 PM
The European Parliament and European Commission are currently at loggerheads about software patents and the definition of "computer-implemented inventions." The open source community is trying desperately to stop any kind of patenting, while large IT corporations such as Microsoft are trying to lobby the parliament into allowing just about any software technique through. In the midst of all this, doomsayers have been predicting the death of Linux and open source software. Open source projects such as MPlayer are now posting huge "The End Is Nigh" notices on their sites. But things aren't as dark as they might seem.

Church offers Wi-Fi for reading scripture commentary, comparing texts, and following sports scores: It sounds like a parody at first, a church providing Wi-Fi access throughout the building, but Richard Tallent makes a good case for combining technology with religious practice. It's not quite the parable of the prodigal son, but he notes that it's the folks who are hardest to reach who are the ones who should have the most outreach to bring them in. He also provides a link to Acts which describes a listener to Paul who fell asleep and out an open window while he was preaching. There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes).

Fear, but no loathing

Fear, but no loathing 01/08/2004 08:51 PM
A small revelation hit me today. Relaxing after sauna - the place where probably most Finnish ideas (and children) originate - I was exchanging text messages with some dear friends, and somehow it clicked together.

I no longer fear death.

I mean, I would be incredibly pissed off if I died tomorrow, since there's just so many things I haven't done and seen yet - but no, I cannot say that the actual idea of the black wall at the end of my life feels frightening any more. I don't mean that I want to go tomorrow and climb Mt Everest - I'm still scared shitless at the thought of falling into a crevasse, thankyouverymuch :) - or get into other extreme sports, but more of an acceptance of the simple fact that I will, eventually, in two, twenty, perhaps 200 years, kick the bucket and be no more. Perhaps I'll leave children behind, or perhaps I will not. I hope I do, and if I do, I leave good kids. Who knows. But regardless of what I do - the road will come to an end, and I'm okay with that now.

This thought is really very comforting. It means that my relationship to failure is no longer what that used to be either... I don't really fear it either. It is quite okay to make mistakes, too! A gigantic screwup might cost you your life, but if you fear death, you cannot really go all-out when you shoot for something you want. Fear is what keeps us grounded back in reality, and that is a good thing, but it can also hold you down. One must learn to appreciate fear for what it is (stupid people get shot first), but one should not be frightened - if this makes any sense to you :-).

"Make love, not war", it is said. But in some sense, they are the same thing: You cannot fight well, if you fear the battle. Nor can you really love someone, if you are afraid of what might happen. In both there is no middle ground. It belongs only to the cannon fodder.

Do not fear death. Do not fear mistakes. Do not fear shame. Do not fear love. 'cos in the end, it will all be okay, and death will be the final adventure.

the fear about Kerry

the fear about Kerry 04/09/2004 04:06 PM
I've received literally 30 requests from people I know to contribute to the Kerry campaign. That must mean something good about the campaign's organization. But I remain skeptical about whether the Senator can muster the message. Obvious disclaimer: I know nothing about how elections are won, and I'm sure Kerry's got the very best in the world helping him build the strategy that defeats amazingly powerful politics on the other side. But as I watch Kerry (as opposed, e.g., to MoveOn) define the issues in this campaign, he still feels inside-the-beltway-tone-deaf. One by one we get "new initiatives," Christmas tree lists of things Kerry will do when president, much like Clinton would rattle off lists of gifts in his State of the Union Addresses (for hours and hours and hours). Each new initiative gets a flurry of attention, some praise, some criticism, and then disappears. The result is at best a slight good-idea victory, but more likely a draw. But people, the professional pols say, care about the economy, or their jobs, or taxes, or education. So a campaign must stick to addressing those issues. Maybe. And of course, Clinton won largely because he kept on message (It's the economy, stupid.) But to this know-nothing writer, this election seems different. The Clinton/Gore days felt very different. It was a time when Nader could say that there "was no difference" between Bush and Gore -- and of course, with respect to many issues, there was no real difference apparent. Yet I can't believe anyone is going to get excited about this election by being given a list of policy initiatives. I have views about policies, but I don't keep a checklist to decide who I'm going to vote for. Instead, the passion and anger that bubbled Dean to the top was focused on something much more fundamental: a basic corruption of government. Not corruption in the banana republic sense -- money to politicians. But a corruption of basic integrity. Deception about the war. Obstruction of access to information about influence (e.g., Cheney and the oil companies). Coddling to corporate criminals. (Yea, I know, you'll whine about that, but it sounds so good). And persistent Nixonian attacks on critics. This is the basic, apple-pie message that I would bet would win. That we have gone back on basic American values -- or those values we believe we believe. "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" was not meant to distinguish "Truth and Justice" from the "American Way." And I would think a constant beat reasking the same question -- Who have we become? -- would slowly erode any passion for reelecting this President. Or alternatively, focus on kids. Look at the first three winning entries from the Bush-in-30-seconds ad campaign. These "conservative" policies will have one single consequence: to burden our children. With debt -- as Bush races us to the largest deficits ever. With insecurity -- as another generation of fanatics focuses on just one idea: kill Americans. With corruption of our basic values -- as the two americas reality becomes clearer and clearer. Something like this would have been Dean's message, though he was weakened for other reasons. It would have been close to the clear message Edwards had refined. But it's not yet been the message that has come across from this candidate.
