I almost missed

November 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Steven Johnson’s additional comments about his Times piece, Go With Fuzzy Logic, in Feed’s ‘Loop’ discussion area. Due to an ampersand in the URL I can’t make the direct link, but head on over and take a look. “According to Florida election officials, punch card machines had 32 errors per 1,000 votes, while the OpScan devices had only 2. As I said in the piece, the real question is: which counties are using punch cards, and which are using OpScan.”

Famous dates in Marxian

November 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

history, part I: On November 16 1842, Marx first met Engels at the offices of Rheinische Zeitung in Cologne, where Marx was an editor. They would become friends two years later when they met again in Paris, following which they became life long collaborators.

Marx, edited by Engels: […] “the human essence is no abstraction inherent in each single individual. In its reality it is the ensemble of the social relations.” (Theses on Feuerbach, 1845).

Feed’s Steven Johnson

November 15, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Feed‘s Steven Johnson in the New York Times (Reg. req’d): Go With Fuzzy Logic. “[…]The issue turns out to be whether perceptual and analytic skills of machines are better than those of humans – a strangely fitting theme for the first election of the 21st century.”
