Surveillance e Privacy
by Marco Baldassari June 13, 2013

June 13, 2013

Terrei separata la surveillance (NSA...) dal problema di uso dei big data da parte di OTT e Telco. Intanto la fiducia nei servizi di intelligence dipende dai sistemi di controllo del controllore che ovviamente sfuggono al sistema democratico. La cyberwar è reale e sappiamo che la cina e iran sono coinvolti. Quindi eviterei di affossare la capacita di reazione dei governi democratici, cosi come ci lasciamo pacificamente perquisire negli aeroporti. Sappiamo anche che OTT hanno accesso ai dati e possiamo chiedere che vengano definite le regole di utilizzo - escludere del tutto l'accesso ai dati è impossibile e controproducente. La concezione del permission-marketing è un valore aggiunto, non mi interrompe e fornisce un servizio di informazione gratuita anche all'utente. Quello che deve essere vietata è la profilazione dell'utente resa pubblica o disponibile a terzi in forma disaggregata. Se il software agisce automaticamente sui dati per decidere cosa propormi, questo è accettabile. Se quei dati sono resi pubblici o visibili a un software che mira a identificare tutti i biondi con gli occhi azzurri che si chiamano marco, per sterminarli, questo non deve essere lecito. Ma siamo sicuri che le regole possano impedire a chiunque di fare dossieraggio illegale su chiunque, usando le tracce disponibili in rete? Dobbiamo inventare sistemi di protezione efficaci, che neutralizzino qualsiasi dossieraggio illegale, indipendentemente da come viene fatto.

Fwd: [IP] SCOTUS: Genes can NOT be patented

The decision represents a victory for cancer patients, researchers and geneticists who claimed that a single company's patent raised costs, restricted research and sometimes forced women to have breasts or ovaries removed without sufficient facts or second opinions. But the court held out a lifeline to Myriad Genetics, the company with an exclusive patent on the isolated form of genes that can foretell an increased genetic risk of cancer. The justices said it can patent a type of DNA that goes beyond extracting the genes from the body. The complex scientific case was perhaps the most important on the high court's calendar other than its more celebrated cases involving same-sex marriage, voting rights and affirmative action. And unlike those cases, which are expected to divide the court sharply along ideological lines, the controversial concept of gene patenting gave all nine justices something to agree on. The decision was based on past patent cases before the high court in which the justices ruled that forces of nature, as opposed to products of invention, are not patent-eligible. Since 1984, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted more than 40,000 patents tied to genetic material. Armed with those patents, Myriad has tested more than 1 million women since the late 1990s for mutations that often lead to breast and ovarian cancer. Most women who want testing must pay its price — $3,340 for the breast cancer analysis and $700 for an additional test that picks up a genetic link in about 10% of women who test negative the first time. Myriad officials say about 95% of its patients receive insurance coverage, often without co-payments, so that most patients pay only about $100. Myriad and a broad array of industry trade groups argued that without patent protection, research and development would dry up. Doctors, geneticists, women's health groups and cancer patients contended that competition would lower prices, improve outcomes and lead to more discoveries. The two sides had battled to a draw in lower courts: A federal district court in New York sided with the patent's challengers, while a divided court of appeals that handles patent cases ruled for the company. During oral argument in April, the court was presented with opposite interpretations of Myriad's contribution to genetic research. Christopher Hansen, the lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union representing the patent's challengers, said Myriad had invented "nothing." Myriad's attorney, Gregory Castanias, said the company created "a new molecule that had never been known to the world." The justices generally agreed that Myriad deserved credit for its process of isolating the gene and its use – but not for the gene itself. "In isolation, it has no value," Justice Sonia Sotomayor said. "It's just nature sitting there." But the compromise that emerged Thursday was evident during that 65-minute debate. Several of the more conservative justices said a complete denial of patent rights could jeopardize investments by other biotechnology companies — and that could limit progress on a range of research, from agriculture to the environment. --- Just because i'm near the punchbowl doesn't mean I'm also drinking from it. ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/14798382-eb93fc78 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=14798382&id_secret=14798382-58a8a… Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?member_id=14798382&id_secret=14798382-… Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com

The Remarkable Properties of Mythological Social Networks
by gianluca June 13, 2013

June 13, 2013

The Remarkable Properties of Mythological Social Networks The social network between characters in Homer's Odyssey is remarkably similar to real social networks today. That suggests the story is based, at least in part, on real events, say researchers. Ten years ago, few people would have heard of a social network. Today, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn permeate our lives. They show us how we are linked to each other and how we are more broadly placed within society. What fascinates scientists is that the general properties of social networks seem to be invariant regardless of where they crop up. For example, one of the remarkable properties of social networks is their small world character. This means it is possible to go from one part of a network to any other part in a small number of steps (this is where the phrase 6 degrees of separation comes from).
