Citations and the fallacy of division

Citations and the fallacy of division
Cameron Neylon, Wonkhe, 2017/12/05
I've seen various promotion criteria worded "candidates will need 100 publications..." as though that were a measure of anything real (it also demanded a certain H-index as well). More...

Is Private Education in Africa the Solution to Failing Education Aid?

Is Private Education in Africa the Solution to Failing Education Aid?
Danish Faruqui, Sudeep Laad, Mary Abdo, Priyanka Thapar , Stanford Social Innovation Review, 2017/12/05
The answer the author provides is "yes". But the actual answer is, of course, "no". Let me explain how private education offers a "solution": it charges fees to prospective students. This means that it avoids the messy need to teach the really poor; it teaches those who can afford to pay. More...

The world’s slowest, most boring bus simulator finally has a VR version
Sam Machkovech, Ars Technica, 2017/12/05
Stuff like this is what makes the internet great. "After roughly 22 years, one of the worst video games of all time, Desert Bus, finally has a sequel. In very good news for anybody who hears "notorious game's sequel" and flinches, this new take, dubbed Desert Bus VR, is now completely free to own for PC gamers, whether they own a virtual reality headset or not.

Get Ready for the AWS Serverless Application Repository

Get Ready for the AWS Serverless Application Repository
Jeff Barr, Amazon Web Services, 2017/12/04
I wanted to address the topic of serverless aplications in my talk on Friday but left the discussion out because of a lack of time. But it's an important dimension to next generation virtual learning. Here is an announcement from AWS that frames the concept nicely: "we followed up with the Serverless Application Model (SAM) to further simplify the process of deploying and managing serverless applications on AWS.

Stewardship in the “Age of Algorithms”

Stewardship in the “Age of Algorithms”
Clifford Lynch, First Monday, 2017/12/04
Suppose we wanted to preserve the content in Facebook as it exists right now. What would it take? We might think that if we save the database, that would be sufficient. Not so, argues Clifford Lynch. Without the training data Facebook relies upon, and the algorithms that process that data to show you what you see, we haven't preserved Facebook. More...

Towards an Ethical Framework for Open Recognition

Towards an Ethical Framework for Open Recognition
Serge Ravet, Medium, 2017/12/01
Though I think this project is a good idea, I am always wary when people use the phrase 'ethical framework', as there is no universal ethical perspective on which we will all agree. So this raises the question of what "an ethical framework for Open Badges in support of Open Recognition" would look like. More...

“...to crush a 14-year-old would appear to be a step too far.”

“...to crush a 14-year-old would appear to be a step too far.”
Kotaku, Metafilter, 2017/12/01
This story essentially involves a large company suing a 14-year old for cheating on a video game. Actually, it's not clear to me that it's 'cheating' - he simply used a piece of software to automate some activities. More...
