Tech at Night: Opening up the OPEN Act, FCC spectrum insanity
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | February 7th at 02:00 AM |
Yes, we beat SOPA, but the problem of foreign infringers is still around. And we’re not just talking about online copyright infringement, either. Copies of clothing, purses, gadgets, you name it: foreign free riders are a problem. It’s an important tradeoff to find, so an open process for the Darrell Issa OPEN Act is a good one. A slow, consensus-based approach is also smart, so | Read More »

Tech at Night: Anonymous losing, CA Amazon Tax repeal leading, Anti-AT&T folk lying
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 23rd at 02:00 AM |
Anonymous is starting to lose more than it wins. As I already mentioned on Wednesday, the FBI is racking up names to arrest, and moving on them. Anonymous responded by claiming to have broken into NATO systems. The world responded by trashing Anonymous’s AnonPlus website. Of course, when they’re in jail, that won’t matter much, but it’s fun to see. Good news: Early polling suggests | Read More »

Tech at Night: DNSSEC, RIM, FCC, Net Neutrality
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 31st at 05:00 AM |

Science, not Evangelism: India quits IPCC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | February 5th at 06:52 PM |
Now that word has spread that the works and sources of the International Panel on Climate Change are neither “peer reviewed” nor based on “peer reviewed” publications, here come the consequences and loss of credibility. India is quitting the IPCC, and the quote from Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh is just beautiful: There is a fine line between climate science and climate evangelism. I am | Read More »
