Open Source and Social Cloud Computing
Tim O'Reilly has written an excellent review post on Open Source and Cloud Computing which says, among other things: The interoperable internet should be the platform, not any one vendor's private preserve.So here's my first piece of advice: if you care about open source for the cloud, build on services that are designed to be federated rather than centralized. Architecture trumps licensing any ti
ウェブ時代をゆく(著者：梅田望夫） ＜書評＞ | 青虫は拙速を尊べ！
この著者の本は前著「ウェブ進化論」に続き、今この時代を生きる者にとって必読の書と思います。 単にウェブやＩＴのことを書いた本ではなく、新時代を生きるための哲学書と言ってもよいかもしれません。シリコンバレーに身を置く著者がその持ち前の親切心と老婆心でもって、サブタイトルどおり、この渾沌として面白い時代を「いかに働き、いかに学ぶか」を真摯に語ってくれています。そしてそれは結局、「人間としてごく常識的で、少し積極的に日常を丁寧に生きることに他ならない」というところへ帰結するという著者の言葉に、渾沌として面白くもあるが不安でもあるこの時代を生きている私たちは何となく救われ、希望の光まで垣間見させてくれます。著者はこの本のあとがきに「モノを書く意義は、それを読んだ人の心に何が生じたかに尽きると、私は思う。本書は、まじめで一生懸命な若者たちの、そして昔そういう若者だった大人たちの心の中に未知の世界を楽
檀上伸郎――「はてな」と「けもの道」 ― ＠IT自分戦略研究所
エンジニアにとって仲間とはどういう存在なのだろうか。極端なことをいえば、自分1人で作業が完結できてしまうエンジニアにとって、仲間とのコミュニケーションにはどんな意味があるのか。エンジニア同士のネットワークを通じて、エンジニアにとっての仲間とは何かを探る。 第4回｜1 2｜次のページ サイボウズラボの竹迫良範氏からスタートしたエンジニアの輪。前回登場したpaperboy&co.の宮下剛輔氏（宮下剛輔――「自分を知ってもらう努力をしよう」）から紹介されたのは、ソフリット 代表取締役の檀上伸郎氏だ。元「はてなのサーバ管理者」という肩書きが、ひょっとすると最も有名かもしれない。 はてなを退職し、独立・起業という道を選択した檀上氏。その経緯に、コミュニティはどのような影響を与えているのだろうか。そして、1人で会社を経営するエンジニアにとって、コミュニティとはどんな存在なのか。 ■はてなの（元）裏方

Even IBM’s Got Computing Clouds – Old GigaOm
It looks like after Amazon, a mere book retailer, showed them the way, all the technology powerhouses have fallen in love with cloud computing. Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Yahoo earlier this week said they’ve teamed up with three universities to create a cloud computing testbed, and Michael Dell talked about his company’s cloud computing plans with me in a recent interview as well. Perhaps that’s w
別の視点から、「バカ」の定義 - michikaifu’s diary
これに付け加えて。 社会問題アレルギーと「バカ」の定義: 国民宿舎はらぺこ 大浴場 愛知で18歳のフリーター君が中学時代の担任を刺した事件。日経新聞によれば、きっかけは、彼が宿題として提出したノートが「字がきたない」といって怒られ、殴られたこと。もしかして、この子は「ディスレクシア」（読字障害）または「ディスグラフィア」（書字障害）みたいなLDがあったんじゃなかろうか、と私なんぞはすぐ思う。ウチの子の場合、頭は悪くないのに、字をきれいに書くということがものすごく難しく、どんなにがんばってもある程度以上はできない。それで殴られたら、イヤになるよな。実際、ディスレクシアや、ウチの子のような視覚が原因のLDのために、学校でバカ扱いされて世をすね、非行に走る子は多い、との話もある。*1 少し前に、小学校の屋上の明り取り窓の上で飛び跳ねて、落ちて亡くなった小学生。もしかして、この子はADHDだったん
Creative Capitalism: Putting the creativity back in creative capitalism
By John Quiggin Although the conversation here takes place under the banner of 'creative capitalism' there has been relatively little discussion of creativity in the ordinary sense of the term. Yet the relationship between creativity and capitalism has rarely been more complex and interesting than it is today. The central technical innovation of the past twenty years or so has been the rise of the

How big is the free economy?
Here's a question I get all the time: how big is the free economy? That's harder to answer than you might think, for both definition and measurement reasons. But here's a first pass at doing it anyway. (Note: I'm just using US figures below, unless marked otherwise) There are at least three classes of free: The first is the use of "free" as a marketing gimmick: "buy one, get one free", "free with

Creative Capitalism: Does recognition actually work?
Bill Gates put a lot of emphasis on “recognition” as a “market-based incentive.” I think that’s worth examining closely. Many contributors has argued about whether it’s legitimate for a company’s managers to divert resources to social ends – with Steven Landsburg, and the spirit of Milton Friedman, at the heart of the debate. But there’s another question here: would this work? Will the quest for a

I’ve been worried for some years that the open source movement might fall prey to the problem that Kim Stanley Robinson so incisively captured in Green Mars: “History is a wave that moves through time slightly faster than we do.” Innovators are left behind, as the world they’ve changed picks up on their ideas, runs with them, and takes them in unexpected directions.

And much like Hummers, their power-guzzling ways means they are becoming increasingly costly to run.
