in Public bookmarks - New Systems Possibilities and Proposals
We at the Next System Project want to help dispel the wrongheaded idea that “there is no alternative.” To that end, we have been gathering some of the most interesting and important proposals for political-economic alternatives – in effect, descriptions of new systems. Some are more detailed than others, but each seeks to envision something very different from today’s political economy.

The record for incremental reform in the cognitive style of PowerPoint is not promising. In the many release versions of PP, the intellectual level has not been raised. New releases have drifted toward ingrown self-parody, featuring ever more elaborated PP Phluff and presenter therapy. These changes have made the new version different from the previous version, but not smarter. There are no incentives for meaningful change in a monopoly product with an 86% gross profit margin, only incentives to make it different, somehow, from the previous release. PP competes only with itself.

Unconscious neural activity has been repeatedly shown to precede and potentially even influence subsequent free decisions. However, to date, such findings have been mostly restricted to simple motor choices, and despite considerable debate, there is no evidence that the outcome of more complex free decisions can be predicted from prior brain signals. Here, we show that the outcome of a free decision to either add or subtract numbers can already be decoded from neural activity in medial prefrontal and parietal cortex 4 s before the participant reports they are consciously making their choice.

What if there were a type of file that could hide its nature from you; might appear to be any file type, and when clicked with your mouse, could run as a program -- potentially as a hostile program -- when you least expected? Such a file type does exist. Presently, most Windows users don't know of its existence. But let's start at the beginning, shall we? The Beginning Starting back in the days of Windows 3.1 (around 1992 I believe), Microsoft introduced an old idea under a new name: Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). Complex in its details, OLE is simple in concept. It allows the inclusion of data from one type of file or document, within another; and it allows multiple applications on the same desktop to share information.
Files using the extensions .SHS and .SHB may be executable, and because Windows hides their extensions, may appear to be something they're not. OLE objects in documents can be similarly hazardous.

What is a self-illustrating phenomenon? A self-illustrating phenomenon is an image that is generated automatically as a result of an experiment. More importantly, it is an image that exposes the phenomenon behind the observation. It often represents an answer to a question. Here is an example. Ernst Chladni, a musician and amateur scientist, found a way to make visible the vibrations caused by sound waves. He covered metal and wooden plates with sand and ran a violin bow against them. When the plate vibrates, sand collects at the stationary nodes, having been shaken from the moving regions. These nodes are the zero-crossings of the standing wave that produces the sound. Being a musician, he was interested in the theory of sounds and he used the tools at his

Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) worked for thirty-two years at the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and taught logic for five years at the Department of Mathematics at the Johns Hopkins University. Both positions came to an end due to budget cutbacks and Peirce spent the last twenty-five years of his life struggling to support himself. At mid-life, Peirce began to publish on ‘Pragmatism’ (Peirce 1905; Peirce 1931-1958; vol. 5), by suggesting that “...all the followers of science are animated by a cheerful hope that the processes of investigation, if only pushed far enough, will give one certain solution to each question to which they apply it (Peirce 1878; p. 299).” In support of science as constructing hypotheses, deriving consequences from these

Abstract. To understand the three-dimensional ocean circulation patterns that have occurred in past continental geometries, it is crucial to study the role of the present-day continental geometry and surface (wind stress and buoyancy) forcing on the present-day global ocean circulation. This circulation, often referred to as the Conveyor state, is characterised by an Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) with a deep water formation at northern latitudes and the absence of such a deep water formation in the North Pacific.
