Snap judgements
Snap judgements
04/16/2005 08:03 AMI've found
a good use for my iPod - I listen to podcasts on the way to
work. Yesterday, I found this gem:
The keynote
of SXSW conference by Malcolm Gladwell. (MP3 download and stream
available.)
He talks about snap judgements, and how good we are convincing
ourselves that we are making a rational decision, even when we're not.
I've always believed that intuition is a skill that can be trained -
but I didn't know humans were that dependent on it...
Highly, highly recommended.

New kinds of marriages in Massachusetts
New kinds of marriages in Massachusetts
01/07/2004 04:19 PMOur home state of Massachusetts has been in the news recently for a
positive decision on gay marriages. It would seem
that the next natural step would be state recognition of
other types of alternative unions.Apparently we don't think
heterosexuality is worthy of special legal treatment anymore.
Why should duality be favored then over plurality? Why
can't a voluntarily polygamous family or polyandrous family apply for
a marriage license? The cultural and cross-cultural precedent
for polygamy is certainly much stronger than for gay
marriage.
My friend Richard and I were flying to Bradley Field in Connecticut
today (excellent airplane museum) and it occurred to us that this
could solve America's health insurance problem. Consider 50
uninsured people. They could all get married in one big
union. One of the 50 could take a job with really good health
benefits, e.g., for the government. The other 49 would then get
spousal health benefits.

12/22/2004 01:46 AMPervasive networks—a ubiquitous “fabric” of computing, information,
entertainment, and telemetry capability tied together by high-speed
wired and wireless networks—are emerging from a flurry of new
communication technologies now being used in home and office networks.
Though communications carriers do not offer this type of continuous
communication as a service today, the piece parts are already in
place. [PRWEB Dec 20, 2004]

11/18/2003 09:04 PMJetBlue Airways is offering free Wi-Fi to folks hanging out in its
departure gates in Terminal 6 in New York's JFK Airport: The airline
also offers the free Wi-Fi in its hub, the LA/Long Beach airport. If
more airlines start doing this, it will be interesting to watch what
happens to the companies that are already offering fee-based services
in airports. That seems to be a big business, with hotspot providers
signing exclusive deals with airports. I wonder what sort of rights
airlines have to build Wi-Fi networks in the gates they often use.
Glenn has heard from some folks in the industry that airports are
starting to assert rights to spectrum that they previously left alone,
or encoding these rights in new contracts as airline leases expire....

How Many Social Networks Is Too Many?
How Many Social Networks Is Too Many?
11/14/2003 02:29 AMI keep reading about all these "social networking software" plays, and
the amazing thing to me is that, unlike during the last bubble,
everyone except people working for these companies
or
venture capitalists seem to know it's a bubble. Yet, they keep on
coming. The latest is that
Evite has launched their own version of Friendster
tied to their event organizing system, and eMode (known for their fun
tests and dating system) has changed their name to Tickle, which is
what their Friendster wannabe is called. They also bought another
social networking service, to take one of about 100 off the market.
Who the hell signs up for all of these systems?
Paten
ts aside, there is
nothing complicated in creating such a
site (there's even one Friendster rip off
called Yet Another Friendster Rip Off). The
complication comes in actually making money from such a site. The odd
thing, though, is the rampant skepticism about these sites. In the
90s bubble years, it was never like this. Sure, there was some
skepticism, but not the near universal skepticism that is focused on
social software space right now. What's funny is that you would think
so much skepticism would make the VCs stay away, but the reverse is
happening.
How to Pay for Municipal Networks
How to Pay for Municipal Networks
09/21/2004 02:46 PMSome municipalities may have already learned some lessons about
offering telecom services that they can consider when deciding to
build Wi-Fi networks: Some of the most successful municipal offerings
of wired telecom services started out with small trial networks and
were offered by municipalities that already offer utility services to
customers. But beyond whether a municipality has experience with
billing and marketing a service, Wi-Fi presents a bunch of additional
uncertainties. In the wired example, in many cases the market doesn't
have any other option for broadband Internet access and customers
definitely pay for the access. In the case of Wi-Fi, in many cases
other service providers may already offer wireless access. Plus,
cities have to decide whether they want to offer access for free or
for a fee. If they want to deliver free networks, they have to decide
how to fund it, considering both the initial outlay and ongoing
support costs. Ultimately, citizens of communities may end up
deciding. In St. Cloud, Fla., the city is trying to decide how to pay
for the ongoing maintenance of the network and will likely ask
residents to decide on a ballot referendum. If municipalities decide
to ask residents to pay for access, they have to hope they can cover
their costs. At this stage in the market, based on the experiences of
commercial Wi-Fi providers, it's not clear that an operator can make
money from for-fee networks....

09/20/2004 05:07 PMFor quite some time, we've been hearing various stories about "smart
dust" with most of the talk coming from Dust Networks. After all
this time, they've
finally launched a product. It's clearly nowhere near the "smart
dust" level yet, but looks to be a wireless mesh networking technology
for letting a variety of sensors communicate easily, without killing
batteries too quickly. Still, it's a big step forward for the space,
meaning we should expect plenty of gushing news stories about the
technology in the near future.

Social Networks Against Spam
02/18/2004 02:56 PMWhile the various social networking services continue to push forward,
some researchers are using the same basic concept of linking people to
their friends to see if
social networks
can help fight spam. The idea is that most people get their email
from a limited social network of people, and that network can be
worked out by looking at the "to:" "from:" and "cc:" portions of your
email. The theory being that if I know two people, they're much more
likely to know each other as well, and the system can link them, and
assume that if they email each other it's unlikely to be spam. Spam
messages, however, have no such linkage, and are more easily picked
out from the crowd. Of course, it doesn't sound like this works all
that well. You don't get any false positives, but it seems to only
recognize a little over 50% of all spam. The folks behind this
research say it's still useful, if used in combination with other spam
filtering techniques.
