Modeling inhuman behavior

Shining a little light on a lot of good work
| | Context: these are some of the guys who bought you Wayport's access points, in airports and hotels all over the place. Now they're doing it again, only better. And very consistently with all the stuff we talked about in the item below. |
| | Rick Lehrbaum's post (the second one down) appears to be truncated, but seems to tell the story pretty well — another one of those stories that won't stop beginning. |
Happy Taxday!
| | ... Web "space" has a necesssarily moral dimension... |
| | And there's an important difference in the politics of space as well. In the real world, I can't just put in a door from my apartment to my neighbor's so that anyone can go through. But that's exactly how the Web was built. Tim Berners-Lee originally created the Web so that scientists could link to the work of other scientists withut having to ask their permission. If I put a page into the public Web, you can link to it without having to ask me to do anything special, without asking me if it's all right with me, and without even letting me know that you've done it... |
| | The Web couldn't have been built if everybod;y had to ask permision first. In the real world, we assume privacy and need permission to enter. On the Web , that flips. The politics of the Web, by its very nature is that of public rights and private ownership. |
| | Sounds like the kind of stuff I don't want my tax dollars to help regulate or control. |
| | Between the last paragraph and this one I took a shower, and spent the whole time reflecting on space. We know far more already, I thought, about outer space and even inner space than we do about inter space — which most of us discovered only in the last several years and al of which we're only beginning to build out. |
| | And maybe we'll never stop beginning. |
