What Oracle’s Botched Obamacare Site Says About the Future of the Web
by gianluca March 8, 2014

March 8, 2014

[...] Although CGI Federal — one of the firms hired to build Healthcare.gov —called the nation-wide project “unprecedented,” there are proven models for approaching similar problems. Companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook have infrastructure that supports millions of users daily. When these companies faced unprecedented scaling problems, they didn’t turn to the Oracles and CGIs of the world. They turned to the open source community. And when Facebook couldn’t find open source tools to meet its needs, it built its own, andcontributed them back to the community <http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2014/02/facebook-hacks/>.

FYI juan carlos -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [liberationtech] Inventing a New Internet: Learning from Icarus * 4:15PM, Wed March 5, 2014 in Gates B03 Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2014 17:42:06 -0000 From: Yosem Companys <companys(a)stanford.edu> Reply-To: liberationtech <liberationtech(a)lists.stanford.edu> To: Liberation Technologies <liberationtech(a)mailman.stanford.edu>, Liberationtech Events <liberationtech-events(a)lists.stanford.edu> CC: Dewayne Hendricks <dewayne(a)warpspeed.com> * Stanford EE Computer Systems Colloquium** * 4:15PM, Wednesday, March 5, 2014 NEC Auditorium, Gates Computer Science Building Room B3 http://ee380.stanford.edu Inventing a New Internet: Learning from Icarus Dewayne Hendricks Tetherless Access *About the talk:* >From a future historical perspective, are we descendants of Icarus? Is our Internet like Icarus' wings? Are our protocols, ciphers and codes, brilliant capabilities built on immature engineering, which like Icarus' wax and feathers, are capable of taking us to great heights, but systematically flawed? For a brief historical moment, humanity has flown high like Icarus, on a vulnerable first generation Internet platform. Which as been used for securing and using distributed ideas, arts, media science, commerce, and machines. Promising brilliant futures with the arrival of networked things, autonomous personalized services and immersive media. But, now our first generation Internet , built on a fragile global network of vulnerable codes and protocols, is falling apart, like Icarus' wings, through a triple shock from: * Massive dotcom data stalker economy built on mining of terabytes personal data. * Ubiquitous criminal penetration of financial and identity networks, on our devices, in the cloud. * Pervasive state intruders at all levels and every encrypted hardware and software node. Humans eventually conquered the barriers to flight and learned to build durable and resilient aircraft. Similarly, humans must learn to build a more reliable, private and secure Internet for communications, innovation and commerce. We will share our thoughts on how we might go about the design of a more durable and resilient Internet: * How prepared is the Internet for future human benefit? * What are the attributes of a future more durable internet? * What are the existing assets that could be harnessed? * What needs to be developed? *Slides:* There is no downloadable version of the slides for this talk available at this time. *About the speaker:* Dewayne Hendricks is currently CEO, of the Tetherless Access, Inc., based in Fremont, California, USA. Tetherless Access offers a comprehensive range of products and services, including research and product development, for wireless communications via the Internet. He is also an past member of the Federal Communications Commission's Technological Advisory Council (FCC/TAC), serving for eight years. In 2002, 'Wired Magazine' did a profile on him, titled 'Broadband Cowboy'. Prior to forming Tetherless Access, he was the General Manager of the Wireless Business Unit for Com21, Inc. He joined Com21 following an opportunity to participate as the Co-Principal Investigator in the National Science Foundation's Wireless Field Tests for Education project. The project sucessfully connected remote educational institutions to the Internet. The test sites ranged from rural primary schools in Colorado, USA to a University in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia. Dewayne was the CEO and co-founder of Tetherless Access Ltd., in 1990. Tetherless Access was one of the first companies to develop and deploy Part 15 unlicensed wireless metropolitan area data networks using the TCP/IP protocols. He has participated in the installation of these networks in other parts of the world including: Kenya, Tonga, Mexico, Canada and Mongolia. Back in 1986, he ported the popular KA9Q Internet Protocol package to the Macintosh, allowing the Macintosh platform to be used in packet radio networks. Today, thousands of amateur radio operators worldwide use the NET/Mac system he developed to participate in the global packet radio Internet. This system continues to be developed and deployed by the amateur radio service. He has been involved with radio since receiving his amateur radio operator's license as a teen. He currently holds official positions in several national non-profit amateur radio organizations and is a co-founder and past Director of the Wireless Communications Alliance, an industry group representing manufacturers in the unlicensed radio industry. *Contact information:* Dewayne Hendricks Tetherless Access *ABOUT THE COLLOQUIUM:* See the Colloquium website, http://ee380.stanford.edu <http://ee380.stanford.edu>, for scheduled speakers, FAQ, and additional information. Stanford and SCPD students can enroll in EE380 for one unit of credit. Anyone is welcome to attend; talks are webcast live and archived for on-demand viewing over the web.

Berkman Center Webcast live oggi ore 18.30 - How Disclosure Policies Impact Search in Open Innovation
by Giuseppe Futia March 4, 2014

How Disclosure Policies Impact Search in Open Innovation http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/03/lakhani *Karim R. Lakhani, Lumry Family Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School* Today, 6.30 pm Webcast live: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/interactive/webcast http://nexa.polito.it/berkman-webcast-live Most of society's innovation systems--academic science, the patent system, open source, etc.--are "open" in the sense they are designed to facilitate knowledge disclosures amongst innovators. An essential difference across innovation systems, however, is whether disclosures take place only after final innovations are completed or whether disclosures relate to intermediate solutions and advances. Karim Lakhani will present experimental evidence showing that implementing intermediate versus final disclosures does not just create quantitative tradeoffs in shaping the rate of innovation. Rather, it qualitatively transforms the very nature of the innovation search process. Intermediate disclosures have the advantage of efficiently steering development towards improving existing solutions, but curtails experimentation and wider search. He will discuss comparative advantages of systems implementing intermediate versus final disclosures. About Karim Karim R. Lakhani is the Lumry Family Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and the Principal Investigator of the Harvard-NASA Tournament Lab at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science. He specializes in the management of technological innovation in firms and communities. His research is on distributed innovation systems and the movement of innovative activity to the edges of organizations and into communities. He has extensively studied the emergence of open source software communities and their unique innovation and product development strategies. He has also investigated how critical knowledge from outside of the organization can be accessed through innovation contests. Currently Professor Lakhani is investigating incentives and behavior in contests and the mechanisms behind scientific team formation through field experiments on the TopCoder platform and the Harvard Medical School.
