Geek of the Week: Cliff Lynch

presented by Carl Malamud, Cliff Lynch

I think it’s inter­est­ing to note that com­put­er sci­ence has paid rel­a­tive­ly lit­tle atten­tion I think to some of the prob­lems that come up with very-large scale library automa­tion and pub­lic access to infor­ma­tion. I think that these are hard prob­lems and also fruit­ful prob­lems from a com­put­er sci­ence point of view.

Geek of the Week: John Romkey

presented by Carl Malamud, John Romkey

The Internet Toaster start­ed out as sort of a par­tial­ly prac­ti­cal joke and par­tial­ly a way of demon­strat­ing some things you could do with SNMP and com­put­er net­works that most peo­ple didn’t tend to think about.

Geek of the Week: Jeff Schiller

presented by Carl Malamud, Jeff Schiller

I was inter­est­ed in com­put­er secu­ri­ty when I first showed up at MIT as an under­grad­u­ate. I just found it an intel­lec­tu­al­ly inter­est­ing field of study. But indeed because we have the stu­dents that we have I have an inter­est­ing per­spec­tive on it. In fact at MIT I like to say we have only two kinds of com­put­er secu­ri­ty. We have very good com­put­er secu­ri­ty, and we have…none at all. Because noth­ing in between is of any consequence.

Geek of the Week: Glenn Kowack

presented by Carl Malamud, Glenn Kowack

One of the ways that we’re very dis­tinct from US net­work­ing is that in some sense EUnet and most of the rest of Europe start­ed out with region­als and is today real­iz­ing an NSFNET equiv­a­lent. In EUnet’s case we had sort of very loose insti­tu­tion­al nation­al networks.

Geek of the Week: Milo Medin

presented by Carl Malamud, Milo Medin

I think if the Internet real­ly becomes a pub­lic data net­work in the true sense of the word, some­thing that equals Telenet or some­thing like that, or sur­pass­es it in capa­bil­i­ty, but it’s being used that way then I think in gen­er­al the mis­sion agency net­works will become much more pri­vate, and not have to go off and pull capa­bil­i­ty to places.

Geek of the Week: Steve Deering

presented by Carl Malamud, Steve Deering

Clearly encryp­tion gets you into all sorts of polit­i­cal mine­fields hav­ing to do with export con­trols and so on. And there’s a lot of traf­fic on the Internet. There’s no par­tic­u­lar­ly strong rea­son to encrypt it.

Geek of the Week: Daniel Lynch

presented by Carl Malamud, Daniel Lynch

I hear these argu­ments and read these argu­ments on the mail­ing list that say oh, we’ve got to make sure we choose the right tech­nol­o­gy, the best tech­nol­o­gy, this should not be a polit­i­cal deci­sion, blah blah blah and all those sorts of things. Well… I… That sounds won­der­ful. But it’s not being real.

Geek of the Week: Erik Huizer

presented by Carl Malamud, Erik Huizer

Carl Malamud: Internet Talk Radio, town crier to the glob­al vil­lage.  How do you pro­nounce your name? Erik Huizer: [Pronounces as rough­ly ​“howz­er”] Malamud: Huizer. Is that right? Huizer: No, that’s not right.  Malamud: Try it again. Huizer: Huizer. Malamud: Huizer. Huizer: Huizer. Malamud: Huizer. Am I right? Huizer: No. Still wrong.  Malamud: Not even close. Huizer: Not even close, no. It’s …read the full transcript.

Solarpunk : A Grand Dress Rehearsal
presented by Jay Springett

Many of the concerns of the cyberpunk genre have come true. The rise of corporate power, ubiquitous computation, and the like. Robot limbs and cool VR goggles. But in many ways, it's far far worse. Read more →

Religion and World Politics part 13
presented by Stephen Chan

A number of Islamic states had revolutions that turned them in a particular post-war direction. And in this post-war direction the emphasis was on two key things. The first was modern development. In this sense it meant catching up with the metropolitan Western world. And the second driving force behind all of this was the assumption that this would be best done by instituting secular states.

Cindy Cohn at Aaron Swartz Day 2015
presented by Cindy Cohn

We've got an inflection point opportunity here and we ought to be talking about this European Court of Justice opinion and what it means, because what the European Court of Justice said is the NSA surveillance is not appropriate. Read more →

The Algorithmic Spiral of Silence
presented by Zeynep Tufekci

A couple of major platforms like Facebook and Twitter, YouTube, have become in many places around the world a de facto public sphere. Especially in countries that have less than free Internet, less than free mass media. And these countries have transitioned from a very controlled public sphere to a commercially-run one like Facebook. Read more →
