Artificial intelligence, natural stupidity
Reading The Undoing Project, by Michael Lewis, reminded me of a PhD course at UBC with Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, before they were recognized as Nobel prize candidates.
The impacts of platforms
Platforms have had only a short history, so much of the research is still definitional, with proposed frameworks.
Platforms, an emerging appreciation

From Flickr to Piwigo
Migrating of Flickr to a self-hosted Piwigo site took only a few button pushes, to gain practically the same functions that I have been using for 5 years.
Optimism for open sourcing
The acquisition by IBM of Red Hat brings together two companies that have been leading in open sourcing while private sourcing for almost 20 years.
