The Huffington Post about the real names will not stop bad behavior and stifle lively exchanges

Thus, the owner of the Huffington Post has decided to ban anonymous comments on the site in mid-September. Speaking to reporters after a conference in Boston, Arianna Huffington said: "The trolls are just more aggressive and ugly and I come from London, where there are threats of rape and death I think freedom expression is given to people who are standing. what they say, and [are] not hide behind anonymity. We need to develop a platform to meet the needs of the Internet for adults. "

Very true

. I see nods. After all, both anonymous comments online seems to be stupid, nasty, cruel and ignorant. And this is the material that is tangent to the topic of this article is discussed. If people have to take responsibility for what they say in public, then surely perform better.

that seems like common sense. Whether you supported by evidence, however, uncertain because at the moment there is not a lot of research, and it seems to be largely anecdotal. The study I found most surprising is the experiment conducted by the (South) Korea Communications Commission in July 2007. From this month, all those who wish to comment on any of 146 Korean websites with more than 100,000 members was required by law to file registration resident or credit card.

The assumption behind the requirement was that people behave better if they were easily identifiable line. But it turned out that way. In any case, the Commission has recently announced that it would withdraw the registration requirement because it was ineffective in preventing people from posting abusive messages or spreading false rumors. When the law was introduced in 2007, represented 13.9% of malicious comments all posts on Internet issues. But a year later, the bad behavior has decreased by less than 1%.

The purpose of the research was to answer the criticism that there is no substantive difference between the pseudonymous and anonymous commentators. Disqus disagreed, arguing that if the actual names for authentication (establishing who you are), pseudonyms are an expression involving "an identity" choice, and therefore have a communicative function. Society has searched through its database data of 60 million users and comments to see how commenting 500m practice differed between users who were completely anonymous, those who use pseudonyms and those who signed through Facebook (and therefore forced to use their real names) .

The parameters used in the study are Disqus crude, but the results are nonetheless intriguing. User comments pseudonym significantly more "quality" (measured by the number of times the comment was "love" and answered) or anonymous users real name. And were

much
most prolific commentators: 61% of the comments are from users pseudonyms 500m, compared to 35% of anonymous users and only 4% of the brand on Facebook crowd .

And the moral of the story? Think twice, Arianna Huffington, before insisting on real names.

When Nasdaq halted trading this week, once again demonstrated how global companies are a thank you to who created

"Data is the new oil," said Clive Humby, a Sheffield mathematician who, with his wife, Edwina Dunn, Tesco ? 90m to help your customer card system. Although he said that in 2006, the idea that there is much money to be made - and lost - by marshaling or neglect of "big data" attention has only begun at the dawn of business men

The accident knocked out the Nasdaq trading system was just an example, last week, Amazon, Google and Apple have all experienced service failures that affected its customers, lost sales or inconvenienced . They lost millions on the Amazon main site was offline for almost an hour, estimates suggest dollars in sales. When Google is disconnected for four minutes this month, the missed opportunity to display ads on the search could cost is $ 500,000.

Michael Palmer, the Association of National Advertisers, expanded Humby quote: "The facts are the same oil is valuable, but so gross that it can not be used should really be turned into gas .. plastics, chemicals, etc. to create a valuable entity governing profitable, so the data should be broken down, analyzed have a value "

for Amazon and Google in particular, the ability to process and store large amounts of data is critical to your success. But when things go wrong - which is inevitable - the effects can be dramatic. And the biggest problem might be that the data is "dirty", which contains false or misleading entries can corrupt files and launch systems in freefall. This can make the kind of "software problem" that caused the fall of the Nasdaq - or lead to lock servers and a domino effect of overload

"Whenever I meet people that I wonder about the quality of data," said Duncan Ross, director of scientific Teradata data, which provides data storage systems for customers such Wal-Mart, Tesco and Apple. "When I say that the quality is very good, I guess I have not really looked."

This is because companies use systems increasingly rely on external data, whether by governments or private companies, which can not be assumed to be reliable. Ross said: "It is always dirty"

And that puts companies to thank you data at high pressure tides occasionally. Inject the wrong piece of data and trouble continues. In April, when the automatic reading a tweet from the Associated Press Twitter feed, said the White House had been bombed and injured Barack Obama, who has sold shares faster than the blink of an eye, sending the Dow EE. States. 143 points a few seconds. However, data were dirty: AP Twitter was hacked

"If you think something like phones or phone calls about three or four years, and the last was the iPhone 3GS and BlackBerry have been very popular. OF useless for analysis. The only area where they are stored data for a period of time is the implementation of the regulation. "

However, the amount of short-term data being processed is triggered. Twitter has recently rewritten backend system complete database, it would not be able to cope with 500 piles, each as long as a text message, which happens every day otherwise. (In comparison, the four mobile networks in the UK and handle about 250 million text messages a day, a figure that drops people change services like Twitter.)

Raffi Krikorian, vice-president of "engineering platform" Twitter - who is responsible for maintaining the ship in operation and whale away - admits the 2010 World Cup was a dramatic lesson when goals, penalties and free kicks are watched by a global audience chewed system and quail.


a major rewrite of its back-end systems over the past three years means that you can now "stand" that exposure events in Japan a new movie called The Castle in the Sky, which set a record number of 143,199 tweets to generate the second on August 2 at 15:21 CEST. "The number of teams involved in the service of the site was reduced from five to 12 times," he says proudly. Better yet, Twitter has been available for about 99.9999% over the past six months, although Japanese peak.

A weak economy and high unemployment has forced Latvians create their own opportunities

In a country that was one of the hardest hit by the global recession, some young people say that has devastated economy, a glimmer of hope: the freedom to invent a life n ' would never have been worth it for the download time.

growing startup is not just for Silicon Valley and New York. Here in the Baltic nation of Latvia chance, young entrepreneurs, free of the constant prospect of working nine to five job, the parent companies from manufacturing of high-end bikes that aspire to be the next Skype, which began in neighboring Estonia.

With youth unemployment in the EU of 23% and above 50% in Greece and Spain, these twentysomethings say that the crisis was good for them, despite the economic pain that accompanied. Presidents and Prime Ministers have met a crisis meeting, international organizations have called for extraordinary measures to stimulate hiring and a whole generation has been forced to adjust their aspirations.

last year kanepe Davis, 28, took matters into their own hands in Riga. Is rented ruined school building on a corner Italian music down-on-his-heels at the center of the city, with some friends, he became a bar and a cultural center.

"Of course, it is difficult, and not work eight hours a day, but you have to work 14 hours a day," said kanepe a recent afternoon at his club, where people wore hand elegant-me-down sweaters and cups smoked black plastic frame and drank bottles of Belgian beers low tables.

"But if you start working when you are 19," like many Latvians in the boom years before the fall of 2008, "has not had time to think about what their real goals are "kanepe said. Those who had to push a steady job because of the bad economy had more time to decide what they want to do, he said. "We who are under 30 understand much better."

In this country of 2.2 million nestled on the shores of the Baltic Sea, some young fit for small businesses that blur the distinction between work and personal life, where it is not necessary to go to an office. Many say they would otherwise. If life is more precarious, they say, it is also more exciting.

A similar movement is underway in Europe and the United States, where the growing communities of small start-ups attract people who, before the crisis of 2008, went to work for a bank to investment and consulting company. Internet commerce allows creative types to sell services and products to destinations outside of the house. This gives an advantage to countries like Latvia, where the cost of living is low, so it is easier to make profits.

"If you have a hobby that you enjoy doing and want to do it as a living being, is very relaxed here," said Jurga Pupstyte, 32, who worked for an international bank in Riga but leave to get a master's degree in cultural anthropology. She held company kanepe a recent afternoon while selling baskets of fresh strawberries in the street outside his club.

analysts warn that the change in work habits is not enough to put a major dent in youth unemployment. Credit, which is crucial for launching businesses still choked tight. For each new business that thrives in sustainability, many more are doomed to failure. And in an economy where most people are employed, access to health care and decent retirement is becoming more exclusive, while social safety nets tend to be more generous than in European countries United States. UU ..

"There is no miracle" to the problem of youth unemployment solution, said Stefano Scarpetta, Head of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Economic Development, a group of the world economy. Last month, the OECD published a study in which he called on the EU to adopt measures to fight against unemployment, the removal of protective barriers around industries, encourage banks to lend more to companies that deserve and subsidies for employers to hire new workers.

"It is our job and our life together," he said. Depressed demand for their catering services during the economic crisis in Latvia, he said, had given free time to dream beyond repair old bikes.

"It gave me the freedom to think a little wider," he said.

may not know exactly who told The Sun, but not more Page 3 campaign success is determined and not surprisingly slowly revealing.

include 28,500 primary school teachers (here), 300,000 teachers (here), 120,000 more teachers (here), 500,000 Guide (here) and 1.3 million public sector workers (in this case ). On the other hand, maybe not.

The fact that chief executives and activists of the National Union of Teachers, the National Union of Teachers, Association of Teachers and Lecturers, the Girl Guides Association and Unison voted against Page 3 is very unlikely that each of its members support the decision.

It is also unlikely that its members are doing something, like boycotting the Sun.

This is not to cancel the effect of the campaign so politely launched last September by Lucy Holmes. It is just the opposite. It has galvanized anti-Page 3 campaign like no other before him.

At the time of writing, his call to the editor of The Sun, David Dinsmore, "taking bare breasts The Sun" has 113.193 individual companies.

Prominent signatories Jennifer Saunders, Rebecca Front, Frances Barber, Eliza Doolittle, Alastair Campbell, Caitlin Moran and Lauren Laverne.

The campaign has been adopted by dozens of MPs, 51 of whom have signed a petition calling on the authorities to stop Parliamentary Sun storage until you delete page 3 images. Include Caroline Lucas, Sarah Champion, Valerie Vaz, Frank Dobson, Gerald Kaufman, Michael Meacher, Martin Caton, Jim Dobbin, Paul Flynn, Alan Meale, Barry Sheerman and Lindsay Roy.

Only a Conservative, Fiona Bruce, listed so far. More conservative, much more would be required if the Prime Minister David Cameron feels no pressure within the party.

Outside

However, be aware that your defense of page 3 as a "personal choice" better let "the consumer" may well be unsustainable, as Stephanie Davies-Arai holds today.

In fact, when he said that within hours of women (in its edition of 22 July), the interviewer usually impeccable, Jane Garvey, agonizingly missed a trick.

After discussing the government's initiatives to protect children against online pornography, turned to page 3. At one point (16 minutes 17 seconds) when Garvey said:

"I mean, I have the sun in my house. So I doubt it would be in yours and let their daughters see it ... Why do you not support the cause prohibition of page 3? "

The first was the growing concern about pornography on the Internet (as before). Now is the storm on Twitter threats for women, such as Caroline Criado-Perez, Labour MP Stella Creasy, historian Mary Beard and several journalists -. India Knight, Laurie Penny, Grace Dent, Catherine Mayer and Hadley Freeman

the latest news about a new threat to Creasy, will ensure that the issue of male violence against women is still a hot topic.

Ready?

Twitch did not technically offer streaming software from your account, but it provides the service. You're on your own as to how, exactly, you want to bring your game to stream content to use.

Our recommendation is that you take a free application called Open the transmitter software - is one of the best and latest applications

Hit

Open Software transmitter site, download the application and install it. Once the installation process, the application is automatically triggered. If you run a 64-bit version of your operating system, you may want to not have the application supply and instead run with administrator rights on the Start menu.

Once loaded, you will see that the application comes with one "scene" and preconfigured for you. One word: A "scene" is essentially a single configuration parameter, which corresponds to a single video source to a single set of options. This is your game, for example. A second scenario could be a video to play in the creek, or switch to another window you want to submit, etc.

We heard a time when it is expected that the profit margin to occur next week Cispa the Intelligence Committee of the House intends to maintain a closed room, hidden deep discussion and modifications can the public. There is no good reason for it. The Intelligence Committee will claim, of course, you must do this to ensure that confidential information may be discussed in the debate on the profit margin, but this is nonsense. There are many problems with the bill that can and should be discussed publicly. If there are significant uncertainties about the classified information on it is pretty easy to avoid many keys in Cispa has nothing to do with classified information - and the spring can be treated properly.



The truth is that this is another way to try to hide from the public on this issue. Congress does not want an open debate on the many problems with Cispa debate, so does what he does best: trying to hide things and go when (hopefully) not enough people want. It makes you wonder what CISPA supporters are so concerned. Congress is supposed to work for the public, not hiding things from the public. This is not a situation where they discuss classified information or planes - but only a bill focused on the exchange of information between the government and private companies. All markup Cispa must be public
