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.

Architectural Futures, Public Infrastructure + The Green New Deal pan­el discussion
presented by Amy Kulper, Billy Fleming, Daniel A. Barber, Johanna Barthmaier-Payne, Liliane Wong, Peggy Deamer

Latour spent his career, or has spent his career arguing that scientific facts need to be seen as a product of scientific inquiry. In his terms that they're networked, meaning that they stood or fell not on their strength or inherent veracity but on the strength of the institutions and practices that produced them. And so, in a panel session that's discussing architectural futures, I wanna ask how we can address roles of our institutions and practices in shaping these future realities. Read more →

De Balie x IDFA Doc Talks: You Think The Earth Is a Dead Thing
presented by Francio Guadeloupe

When you look at this film you will recognize that it's part of a tradition that says we have to think the planet, and we have to stop thinking the Earth. Thinking the Earth is actually thinking the world in terms of distinct civilizations, in terms of continents, in terms of ownership. Who owns culture, who owns land, and how they exploit land and culture and so forth. Read more →

Alison Macrina at Aaron Swartz Day 2015
presented by Alison Macrina

The whole Library Freedom Project, everything that we do is very deeply inspired by Aaron's spirit, his work in resistance, his legacy. And every day that we go into libraries and teach practical privacy trainings, I feel like Aaron is very much present in all that we do. Read more →

Ten Years of Terror: Mary Kaldor
presented by Mary Kaldor

For me…human security is saying an Afghan life is equal to a British life. And our security is guaranteed by contributing to a global security that treats all humans as equal. That's something very very difficult for politicians to grasp. Partly because they still live in an old-fashioned world where they're afraid if they use words like "human security" they'll sound soft. Read more →

What Algorithms Taught Me About Forgiveness
presented by Julia Angwin

I decided I wanted to do some accountability studies about algorithms in our lives. And it's hard to study the newsfeed in a quantitative way, and I also wanted something with higher stakes. So I started with an algorithm that is used in the criminal justice system to predict whether a person is likely to commit a future crime. Read more →
