John Battelle, who knows a lot more about this stuff than I do, has posted an entry about the reaction to the news about the CAP at Yahoo: Initial Resistance to Yahoo’s CAP and more. Good stuff there – basically in line with my comments, but in a bit more detail.
Stewart Butterfield,
Ben Cerveny, and Eric Costello: Transcendent Interactions. Ludicorp’s Presentation at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference. Important stuff in here.
Lawrence Lessig
revisits the loss of the Eldred case before the Supreme Court last year. An astonishingly personal reflection on a difficult loss.
David Brooks,
New York Times columnist, is simply amazing. In his column today, he argues (with a straight face, I presume) that poor people didn’t get that way due to a lack of access to resources, and furthermore that the main problem is cultural, not economic. In other words, they deserve it. I guess it’s not that amazing, really – it’s really just another repetition of the common conservative theme that people are evil and must be forced, by their betters, to become virtuous. At least he doesn’t bring god into the whole thing like 90% of his American colleagues.
Conservatives I can get used to
The Economist weighs in on The case for gay marriage. “Yet that [civil unions in place of real marriage] would be both wrong in principle and damaging for society. Marriage, as it is commonly viewed in society, is more than just a legal contract. Moreover, to establish something short of real marriage for some adults would tend to undermine the notion for all.”
