• Copyright, Competition, and Investment

  
  Jim DeLaHunt, world-ready — Authority: 104
  During July-Sept 2009, the Government of Canada held public copyright consultations , with an eye to writing new copyright law. They asked for submissions addressing five topics.  Here’s one of my submissions, on “ Competition and Investment “. It’s hard to tell what will become of these consultations. My ...

Part One, with a brief introduction, is here , Part Two is here , and Part Three is here . You can read all four parts ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “A particle’s existence is a continuous field of probabilities, which blurs the sharp distinction between is/is not. Yet this fundamental uncertainty resolves as soon as information is added (that is, as soon as it’s measured). At that moment of knowledge, all other possibilities collapse to leave only the ...

  “For four billion years evolution has been accumulating knowledge in its library of genes. You can learn a lot in four billion years. Every one of the 30 million or so unique species of life on the planet today is an unbroken informational thread that traces back to the very first cell. That thread (DNA) learns ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “The technium can be understood as a way of structuring information beyond biology. Foremost among all inventions is language, and its kin writing, which introduced a parallel set of symbol strings to those found in DNA. But the grammar and syntax of language far outstrips the flexibility of the genetic code. ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “The perceived divisions between types of knowledge, between levels of knowing, and between distinctions in our own standing in the universe are all being steadily leveled by the advance of the technium. Bit by bit technology illuminates the continuum that connects everything. In the usual self-amplifying circle of ...

  “It was not until we invented telescopes and mathematics that we could peer way past the Earth and see that it was not at the center of a revolving universe. It was not until we invented digital computation and could replicate life processes on intangible computer software that we realized that intelligence and life ...

  “Their choice of minimal technology adoption is a choice — but a choice enabled by the technium. Their lifestyle is within the technium, not outside it. As I encourage new technologies I am working for the Amish, and Leon, and the minimite homesteaders. So is anyone who is inventing, discovering, and expanding ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “[The Amish] see most of the promises of freedoms from increased technology as illusionary. In their eyes, technology generates fake choices, meaningless options, or real choices that are really entrapments. This is an argument worth exploring because there is some truth in it. The technium is an autonomous system ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “We have domesticated our humanity as much as we have domesticated our horses. Our human nature is a malleable crop that we planted 50,000 years ago, and continue to garden even today. The field of our nature has never been static. We know that genetically our bodies are changing faster now than at any time in the ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “The origins of the Wired generation and the laid-back, long-hair computer culture (think open source) lay in the hippies of the 70s. As Stewart Brand, hippy founder of the Whole Earth Catalog remembers, ” ‘Do your own thing’ easily translated into ‘Start your own business’.” I’ve lost count of the ...

• how long is 5000 days?

  
  Kens Therapy — Authority: 122
  I was at Chipotle the other night watching this video. It blew me away. The idea of how a invention can completely alter the course of human thought in less than 5,000 days is almost overwhelming. This is a few years dated but I think the changes of the internet within the last 2 years proves the point that Kevin ...

  “Technology is that which is produced by a mind — any mind: animal, machine or alien. When we created the technology of writing, we gladly extended our memory onto paper, making ourselves smarter. But in turn the alphabets we invented changed how our minds worked. Because our inventions can reach back into our ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  Cities are technological artifacts, the largest technology we make. Their impact is out of proportion to the number of humans living in them. As the chart above shows, the percentage of humans living in cities averaged about one or two percent for most of recorded history. (The chart’s Y axis is a logarithmic scale ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “Whereas it took electrification 45 years to reach 90% of US residents, it’s taken only 20 years for cell phones to reach the same penetration. The rate of diffusion is accelerating. A straight line extrapolation would suggest that the rate of technological adoption should continue to accelerate until it occurs ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “In this way the technium can both become more homogenized and more diverse at the same time. […] In 100 years it is very likely there will be at least one common language spoken by at least half the people on the planet. But the same people will also retain their regional tongue as well, perhaps even more widely ...

  c0wb0yz Lives ! — Authority: 139
  “Technology is anything a mind makes. Built by minds, the technium is primed to make more minds. These mind children will be small, dim, and dumb at first, but tiny minds keep getting better. And more abundant. Last year there were 1 billion electronic brains etched into silicon. Many contained a billion transistors ...

  “The rock ant is tiny, even for an ant. Individually each ant is the size of comma on this page. Their colonies are small too. Numbering about 100 workers, plus one queen, they normally nest between slivers of crumbling rock, hence their common name. Their entire society can fit into the glass case of a watch, or ...

  The Hardware Aisle — Authority: 133
  It’s never too soon to start gathering ideas for holiday gifts, and this one comes from my friend Ashton, who loves woodworking so much he makes his own guitars and who writes, “For under $50, in most cases, a good Japanese saw is a must have." I had never heard of these tools, but I see from pictures that a hand ...
