@Eadwacer42: thanks for that, I'll have a look. |
@NicoleSimon : welcome to the glorious world of viable systems model, Stafford Beer and the great Wiener. |
@NicoleSimon : no problem, after that take a look at Ashby, Schumpeter, Valen, H.Simon and then if you want to dive deep into fundamentals.. |
@freecloud: we need to a "school of cybernetic management" - the complex systems work from the 20's - 40's was incredible. |
@freecloud: Ashby's explains a heck of lot of what goes wrong in management. It's in my view one of the four pillars. |
Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety, H. Simon's theory of hierarchy, Schumpeter's creative destruction and Valen's Red Queen Hypothesis - magic |
@NicoleSimon: if you're interested, try Stephen Gould's Full House, all zero in on the same management problem defined by Ashby's Law. |
@NicoleSimon: have you read the unfinished revolution - http://www.bootstrap.org/co... |
@monkchips: earlier post should have said ..."and NOT a replacement for it?" |
@monkchips: Like government pillage, such as buying up Taylor Wimpey and using it for government backed social housing / public buildings. |
@monkchips: do you mean we want a more keynesian approach, the economy as a tool for society and a replacement for it? |
@pcarles: possibly, otherwise there is always (hopefully) FOWA / Web 2.0 Europe / Head and other conferences. |
@pcarles: I'm now creating an entirely new style (video+slides+interaction), hopefully for FOWA. It'll be finished in four months. |
@pcarles: It looks like a great line-up. I did propose talks for LeWeb in both 07/08, I just didn't make the grade. |
@pcarles: so was LeWeb good? |
Anyone know where the CFP for OSCON 2009 is? I'm hoping that there will be an open source cloud computing track |
@monkchips: When a commodity is portable, has value and there is variance in supply / demand over time - there is always future(s). |
@monkchips: In the 1950s, the idea of a futures/spot market in Energy was considered to be BS as nuclear was going to make it zero cost. |
@jamesurquhart: well, it's excellent news. I'm very pleased for you and you deserve congratulations for all your efforts in this field. |
is LeWeb any good? Who are the best speakers? most interesting / most informative. |
