There was a long blog series on OT not long after the Google Wave that is linked from the Wave docs: http://blog.wavenz.com/2009/07/introduction-to-operational.h... http://blog.wavenz.com/2009/07/operational-transformation-al... http:/

Social isn't a binary. I choose to share things with specific people and if Facebook then chooses to share this with more people this is a violation of the implicit pact I have when using their system -- that they will do what they say they

I completely agree. I frequently think about leaving the tech sector and going into consulting for just this reason. No work environment (except for a small non-profit I ran for awhile) has been nearly as stimulating as the ivy-league envir

I think the basic motivation for why Harvard kids head to Wall St. are clear enough (and decently explained in this article). What would be more interesting though would be to explain why an ever increasing greater proportion of Ivy League

Anyone think that this might be an ingenious hack by a "virus" writer? Instead of targeting the computer, target the manufacturer that makes the code that is supposedly protecting the computer. If so, I'll bet all it took was one line in on

If you want to an Ivy League college you probably would not probably be able to say you are earning more than all your friends. I'm certainly not.

I read until the point I found a lapse in reasoning, in this case that the fact that Obama advertised in video games was related in some fashion to whether or not video game playing teenagers would make better citizens. I then scanned brief

"Does this mean we are becoming better citizens? Ninety-seven percent of American teenagers play video games.[4] Does this mean they will become more politically active? Before you dismiss these questions, keep in mind that in October 2008,

To complicate things: What if I have a kid. Then being a father becomes part of my identity. Perhaps I might even think that people should have kids. If someone suggests that all children should be killed, or that debt should be added to th

Thanks. We had a discussion about a similar topic a year or so ago.

I have also compiled a list of all currently existing social networks and their shortcomings, but did not include that in this post. The problems of the academic, related to journal publication, etc., are problems I face in my everyday life

Clay Shirky describes that online communities have a natural life cycle in which they start off small and vibrant and then dissipate as they grow larger. The perpetual problem is to achieve a persistent high signal to noise ratio. I suggest

You hit at the fundamental difference between my approach and others, which may make mine better or worse (certainly worse if nothing ever comes of it, and 'revolutionary' if it does and it is a fundamentally new way of looking at things wi

When I've presented this privately I've used a lot of diagrams and often had folks sign non disclosure agreements. I'm not sure I can describe the group dynamics I am hoping to capture without that. Have you read E.O. Wilson? It is somethi

I'm spread a bit too thin to be a technical genius, like some others I've met here and there. Besides, I like the people side of the business and would like to spend more time on that end.

Right. Even if Pg decisively proved that an optimal group size is c. 10, this has nothing to do with leadership within the group. Groups of lions and monkeys also have 'bosses', us. selected through battle. Perhaps Pg should go mano-a-man

You haven't addressed Pg's unstated presuppositions. His 'telos' is that the programmers should be happy -- although only circumstantial evidence is presented it is likely he is correct that large organizations undermine such. Of course, p
