Lawrence Lessig on the increasing regulation of cyberspace

Our founders feared a newly empowered federal government; the Constitution is written against that fear. John Stuart Mill worried about the regulation by social norms in nineteenth-century England; his book On Liberty is written against that regulation. Many of the progressives in the twentieth century worried about the injustices of the market. A computational journalism reading list.

If You're a Narcissist, It's Not Your Generation's Fault

It’s not shocking that a magazine called Time would be interested in the march of human generations. But the weekly’s much-discussed cover story on the late-’80s to mid-’90s “millennials,” Generation Me Me Me glossed past (as do the inevitable retorts) the possibility that the year of one’s birth just isn’t very important.

About. The Studio 20 Building a Better Explainer Project was launched in November 2010 by Professor Jay Rosen’s graduate journalism class, in partnership with the non-profit investigative newsroom, ProPublica. The project will experiment with the form of “the explainer,” a genre in journalism that provides the essential background knowledge necessary to follow events in the news. Explainer.Net is the public face of this project, where we will share findings and promote quality work in the rapidly evolving industry of explanation, both inside and out of journalism. Here is the rationale for the explainer project, as articulated by Jay Rosen in a short video (5:22):

En el centro de nuestra era tecnológica se hallan unas personas que se autodenominan hackers. Se definen a sí mismos como personas que se dedican a programar de manera apasionada y creen que es un deber para ellos compartir la información y elaborar software gratuito. No hay que confundirlos con los crackers, los usuarios destructivos cuyo objetiuo es el de crear virus e introducirse en otros sistemas: un hacker es un experto o un entusiasta de cualquier tipo que puede dedicarse o no a la informática. En este sentido, la ética hacker es una nueva moral que desafía la ética protestante del trabajo, tal como la expuso hace casi un siglo Max Weber en su obra clásica La ética protrestante y el espíritu del capitalismo, y que está fundada en la laboriosidad diligente, la aceptación de la rutina, el valor del dinero y la preocupación por la cuenta de resultados.

Prólogo de Linus Torvalds | Epílogo de Manuel Castells. Respecting the Data. I was lucky enough to attend Eyeo Festival this year thanks to the Ford Foundation.

This came up in different ways and under different names among speakers whom I saw talk. Furthermore there was tension and contradiction across the talks about the type of and level of respect due to data.

Big Data Trends. Ciudades a escala humana. What participants recommend you read before the conference. By Malte Ziewitz When planning the conference we had the last-minute idea to add a seemingly innocent field to the registration form and ask: “Can you recommend a paper or website that might be of interest to other conference participants?” This turned out to be very productive. About every third person suggested something, resulting in the following list of resources. How Twitter Is Reshaping The Future Of Storytelling.
