  tags: no_tag

  • 那麽，奥巴马的理想国是怎样的呢？“放弃幼稚……重拾坚韧精神……秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念，采取大胆且快速的行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为（下一轮经济）增长打下新的基础……政府和人民之间重建至关重要的相互信任……回归那些长期以来指导我们成功的古老的价值观——勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心，还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义。”
  • 这一段说得荡气回肠，令人击节称叹。理想国即便遥远，但有了信心、希望和勇气，不完美的人类社会才有可能不断前进，一小步一小步地接近理想。

  • 许多人都登录到网上论坛讨论这场晚会。不到一天时间，网易论坛就有800多条网民的评论。许多人对晚会在最后一刻受到“封杀”感到遗憾。

• Data Mining: Text Mining, Visualization and Social Media: The Knol Mystery

  tags: no_tag

  • Silicon Alley Insider posts asking why Knol, Google's Wikipedia-ish content service, still survives while many of Google's experiments and acquisitions have fallen by the wayside. I think there are two ways to answer to this question. The first is: the only thing that has surprised Google in the past few years has been Wikipedia. Who would have thought that a single site would end up appearing on a huge fraction of search result pages (I can't find an exact statistic on this, even using Google...). The second answer, relating to the persistance of the project, is to do with focus. There are many projects within Microsoft which are (or have been) considered core strategic plays and thus have had consistent investment because a results has to be delivered. Today's trial-by-fire, show-me-the-numbers, has-to-be-measurable approach to innovation is quite alright, but sometimes the (top down) knowledge and intuition of the leader(s) must be heard! Perhaps there is a kill Wikipedia mandate at Google?

• Obama revives the Freedom of Information Act. - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine

  tags: Obama

  • In 2006, the National Security Archive, a private research organization headquartered at George Washington University, sued the U.S. Air Force for failing to respond to several FOIA requests. A federal judge ruled that the Air Force had engaged in a "pattern and practice" of neglect on the issue. Since then, the Air Force has cleaned up its act, retrained personnel, and resumed serious reviewing. Other agencies have stepped up their training, too—but in the opposite direction, ordering their FOIA officers to find legal rationales for withholding everything (the natural bureaucratic tendency), knowing that the Ashcroft memo assures them of executive-branch backing at the highest level.

  • The delivery of Barack Obama's first weekly presidential address to the nation yesterday was hi-tech, but his message was distinctly resonant of the 1930s.
  • Speaking to the nation - in a YouTube version of Roosevelt's fireside chats on radio - Obama told Americans that the nation faced disaster on an almost unprecedented scale. He said the economy could end up $1 trillion short of its capacity, translating into a disastrous $12,000 loss for an average family. "We could lose a generation of potential, as more young Americans are forced to forgo college dreams or the chance to train for the jobs of the future," Obama said in the five-minute address. "In short, if we do not act boldly and swiftly, a bad situation could become dramatically worse."

  • The web is also a social common good. The web is not the same as public roads, which are "owned" by the public, but in terms of public access and use, the web is a type of community good. The good of the web serves me as if I owned it. I can summon it in full, anytime, with the snap of a finger. Libraries share some of these qualities. The content of the books are not public domain, but their displays (the books) grant public access to their knowledge and information, which is in some ways better than owning them.

    不過，這四位傑出音樂家選擇對「手」演出，是出於不得已的妥協決定。國會就職慶典聯合委員會發言人芙蘿曼（Carole Florman）指出，歐巴馬就職典禮當天，天氣冷、風又大，很容易發生樂器走音、斷絃甚至損壞等狀況。為確保典禮順利進行，音樂家才因此在就職典禮前兩天赴錄音室先行錄音。
