When did we decide efficiency was the goal of air traffic control? I want the thing to be effective and reliable, efficiency is way down the list here.

We've noticed a larger-than-normal number of disk failures on second-hand auctioned systems. Be sure to get one with a fresh, "enterprise-grade" drive.

Atom. Because I sort of love it, and then it freezes up for just long enough to kill my train of thought.

Yeah we have a scheduled maintenance right now (hello, Docker friends!). Should be back in 10-15min. There's also some other instances: http://aleph.openoil.net/ http://opengazettes.org.za/

I feel Borges' Aleph is the more charming and less creepy version of Tolkien's Palantir :) Strive for knowledge, not control.

I've been working on a project called Aleph ( https://github.com/pudo/aleph , live: http://data.occrp.org/ ), which is targeted at investigative reporters. It's supposed to handle a related set

"If we put all economics aside, it's obvious the web should be organised this and this way..." What I'd really like to see is decentralised web proponents (of which I'm no longer one) put out some ideas for how thei

The latter. I'm not part of the OpenOil team but with the install I work on ( https://data.occrp.org ) we run crawlers every day, week or month depending on how often the source changes.

The underlying code base is open source, we'd love to have more contributors for entity/feature extraction, better UX etc. etc.: http://github.com/pudo/aleph

Don't see why not if you're in a country that's planning to stay in the EU and you're crazy enough. For non-EU, no idea what the freelance situation looks like :/

I think there's a special niche with civic technology, the kind of public-benefit projects this is also aimed at: most European societies already have this deal. It's public broadcasting systems. In Germany, the pot is 7.6bn per y

Where does it say this is about websites? Or that it is against building (web) companies ? (Quite the opposite, actually!) I neither buy your point that 1.2mn R&D money will replace the dot-com economy with socialism, nor that there&#x2

Plenty of love :) Just no legal way for prototypefund to pay them with this money. Sorry. Trust me, they tried to negotiate.

How is it a "stretch" if we make open licensing a contractual requirement? For what it's worth: most of the software projects on that page have been developed by people on their own time, just because it's cool :)

Basically, the project team for this (which is a German non-profit) wants to make the case that public funding of F/OSS can spawn cool tech that might eventually turn into startups. The idea is to create a buffer between government (gr

The argument to re-decentralise the web wildly confuses economic, technical and political concerns. The reason that Facebook runs a centralised system isn't that it cannot figure out a technical alternative, it does so for economic rea

Good point. I believe that SourceFabric's target audience is mostly in poorer countries and developing nations, where news organisations neither have the resources to build their own CMS, nor a more comprehensive workflow management sy

I'd guess they've found a great match: never have I seen a community so prone to irrational hypes around random new technologies as the international development and humanitarian aid communities. The whole blockchain narrative wil

Reality has a well-known liberal bias. Seriously: the data that was leaked is a formation agent that has it's clientele in specific places and focusses on a specific type of clients. That doesn't seem to include US senators, or, f

The promises they make are really tempting. However, when I experimented with Blazegraph last year, it ended up stuck more often than I could count, whether during bulk import or in answering some ad-hoc SPARQL queries. I can imagine that w

It frightens me how literal this looks to be intended: that freedom is (almost exclusively) a function of infrastructure, rather than "the human layer". It's a dead-serious attempt to "hot-wire" politics by means of

Lovely. An anti-bullshit manifesto that talks about "experiences" and "the rise of" various things. I'm sold.

This should be a document of shame to us as a community. There's not a single woman or person of color on this page, from what I can tell. We're doing something seriously wrong.

Sam talks only about internal factors of the industry: is there enough value generated by startups to justify their valuations? This ignores the economic environment. There's just way too much capital floating around US stock markets a

I think this article hurts itself by assuming a pure market scenario: different firms are competing with each other, some adopting an open source strategy, while others pursue a closed source strategy. That's not what's happening,
