Cooperation emerges when groups are small and memories are long

The tragedy of the commons, a concept described by ecologist Garrett Hardin, paints a grim view of human nature. The theory goes that, if a resource is shared, individuals will act in their own self-interest, but against the interest of the group, by depleting that resource. Yet examples of cooperation and sharing abound in nature, from human societies down to single-celled bacteria.

Regarding Those Kremlin Trolls

Netwar Systems Group Launches

The Netwar Forward Controller is a central system that accumulates timestamped text data from Twitter, Jabber, IRC, and there is a Telegram integration happening this summer.

World computer concept explained in here.

What is Ethereum?

Vitalik Buterin, Coin Center, March 9, 2016

Bitcoin is widely understood as a system for generating a shared world ledger that securely records bitcoin balances. Ethereum uses many of the same systems (such as blockchains and peer-to-peer networking) in order to generate a shared world computing platform that can flexibly but securely run any application users want to code (shared ledgers like Bitcoin included).

Stephen E. Arnold: French “Hear and Know” Tracking Capability Coming to the USA…

Advanced Cyber/IO

Listen Up. Hear and Know Enables Information Access in an Innovative Way

On this trip to Paris I was going to learn about a company with technology that performed some GPS type functions without GPS. In addition to tracking hardware and firmware, the company called Hear and Know has a database system which sends out emails and SMS alerts to inform the team tracking an object of interest exactly where that said object is in real time. Based on my concerns about the precision of GPS centric systems, I wanted to understand the Hear and Know approach. (Yes, “hear” refers to the company’s approach to capturing audio.) Instead of search, the company Hear and Know developed systems and methods to have information flow directly to a person who needs to know who, what, where, and when events take place. This is practical, real time, and actionable information. None of that keyword search and fuzzy geo-location implementation.
