Driving on the decline since 2004: The increase of telecommuting, flight to the cities, and the general disinclination toward driving by 20somethings has Americans driving about 9% less than the 2004 peak, with the trend continuing. - Technodad - -

On Reforming the Patent System: "The current patent length of 20 years (longer for drug companies) from the date of filing for a patent can be cut in half without greatly discouraging innovation." - Technodad - -

The Facebook Reply-All Email Chain From Hell, A Cautionary Tale on Automated Email - http://blog.technodad.org/post...

The Facebook Reply-All Email Chain From Hell, A Cautionary Tale on Automated Email: The designers of the Facebook integrated email and chat feature didn’t think through the implications of the network effect. This user and his several hundred Facebook friends are paying the price. The moral of this story is that using email as a notification system for non-email events is often a really bad idea. - Technodad - -

Programming is FUNdamental: A closer look at Code.org's star-studded computer science campaign - http://blog.technodad.org/post...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"All these people who’ve made it big have their own variation of the same story, where they felt lucky to be exposed to computer programming at the right age, and it bloomed into something that changed their life," explains the organization’s co-founder, Ali Partovi, seated in the conference room of one of the many successful startups he’s helped along the way. The Iranian-born serial entrepreneur has played a role in an impressive list of companies, including the likes of Indiegogo, Zappos and Dropbox. Along with his twin brother, Hadi, he also co-founded music-sharing service iLike. Unlike past offerings from the brothers, Code.org is a decidedly non-commercial entity, one aimed at making computer science and programming every bit as essential to early education as science or math. For the moment, the organization is assessing just how to go about changing the world. The site currently offers a number of resources for bootstrappers looking to get started in the world of coding.... - Technodad - -

European Parliament votes to investigate US surveillance of EU residents - http://blog.technodad.org/post...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

Not surprisingly, the European Parliament isn’t happy to hear that the NSA and other US agencies are allegedly snooping on communications in Europe and elsewhere. It isn’t just complaining loudly, however — the Parliament just voted 483-98 in favor of a resolution that will investigate US surveillance activities in Europe and report on their impact before the end of the year. The measure also asks EU officials to consider limiting the data they voluntarily provide to American authorities, such as shutting down programs that forward air passenger and bank records. There’s nothing in the resolution that would immediately affect the EU-to-US communication pipeline, but that could change in half a year — US intelligence outlets may not get their European information served on a silver platter for much longer.

Sizing Up Big Data, Broadening Beyond the Internet: Good NYT article on big data in medicine: The Mount Sinai researchers, Dr. Schadt said, intend to combine genetic information with the medical histories — weight, age, gender, vital signs, tobacco use, toxic exposure and other data — to build more sophisticated models of biology and health outcomes. “We’re trying to move medicine in the direction of climatology and physics; disciplines that are far more advanced and mature quantitatively,” he said. - Technodad - -

How Technology Is Destroying Jobs | MIT Technology Review - http://blog.technodad.org/post...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

How Technology Is Destroying Jobs | MIT Technology Review: This article by the MIT Technology review describes how technology is starting to impact white collar jobs: A less dramatic change, but one with a potentially far larger impact on employment, is taking place in clerical work and professional services. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, big data, and improved analytics—all made possible by the ever increasing availability of cheap computing power and storage capacity—are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared. It’s easy to see this coming - technical advances like IBM’s Watson Engagement Advisor clearly are putting knowledge workers in the automation crosshairs. - Technodad - -
