A very interesting introduction to "legal by design" concepts and reasonings.

A very interesting introduction to "legal by design" concepts and reasonings.

Also it seems like the references would be interesting reading.

This discussion note does three things: (1) it explains the notion of ‘legal protection by design’ in relation to data-driven infrastructures that form the backbone of our new ‘onlife world’, (2) it explains how the notion of ‘by design’ relates to the relational nature of what an environment affords its inhabitants, referring to the work of James Gibson, and (3) it explains how this affects our understanding of human capabilities in relation to the affordances of changing environments. Finally, this brief note argues that ‘safer by design’ in the case of nanotechnology will require legal protection by design to make sure that human capabilities are reinvented and sustained in nano-technical environments.

Here we have people promoting censorship of all classical authors for bigotry and sexism while we continue stereotyping societies in contemporary arts...

Take a good look in the mirror before accusing the past.

Hello, Space!

Norway may not be quite ready for Mars yet. But it's a first step.

A public warning...

The first book of this series is now free on Amazon. It is good. Think before you jump, as you may have to cash out for the rest of them.

By the way - there is an omnibus edition if you decide you must have them all.

And the author is worth following as well here on g+

Still going!

I still don't know what started it, but with the help of your reshares, Episode One is sitting at #21 in Sci-fi and #9 in Cyberpunk (for some reason). So if it's not too much trouble, let's keep it going around.

Europe seems to be reaching a post-religious state. Interesting differences between neighbor countries though.

Europe seems to be reaching a post-religious state. Interesting differences between neighbor countries though.

Since children from christian families reject religion at a higher rate than those of muslim families islam may well at some point become the biggest religion over here. But only because all religion is dwindling away.

Americans please look at these numbers and also note that our kids do not need to shoot up their schools. More religion in school is not the answer. It goes much deeper into your society.

It's been great working with Renee James and team over the past year as they brought the vision of Ampere to today's reality. I wish them success. It's a great team and a great opportunity to help steer the industry forward.
