		<title>Ever Growing Cloud (II)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trough La Pastilla Roja I know about another cloud-based file-storage system: Clever-Safe.
&#160;
This one though has a slightly different business model, since the later has been articullated as a FLOSS project backed up by a commercial arm, wether the former keeps the software propietary and has arranged it as a social tool.
Both, however, seem to rely [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ever Growing Cloud (II)", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/10/06/ever-growing-cloud-ii/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Computer Science Freshman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s me! As an economist I had the technical and mathematical knowledge to model, as an amateur programmer I could run these models. However, I always wanted to enroll in Computer Science to professionalise my expertise; now is the time!.

		<description><![CDATA[Voil&#224;!, new company developes new technology that improves cloud storage; that&#8217;s Wuala. I knew from The Economist.
&#160;
These guys have been more than three years constructing their architecture which consists of&#8230; your spare bandwith and disk space. By means of brand new technology based on mathematical polinomial analysis, your files are stored all over the social [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ever Growing Cloud", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/09/12/ever-growing-cloud/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Misunderstood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

&#160;
That&#8217;s how I felt when I went to order our little, modest, cheap wall plate:
Misunderstood because the guy wouldn&#8217;t understand why just the name and the professional bodies involved in the business (economists &#38; industrial psychologists).
Misunderstood because the guy wouldn&#8217;t understand why I just used other application rather than the usually pirated one; I used [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Misunderstood", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/08/23/misunderstood/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Dataverse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It should be happening soon. From 		Social Science Statistics Blog I get this information about a project aiming to give access to social science research data through virtual data archives (which they call &#34;dataverses&#34;). This meta-repository comes from Harvard University, and IMHO it is a great idea; not just will give access to data before [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Dataverse", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/08/22/153/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Ethics for the real world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From August 2008 DAS newsletter (non-members won&#8217;t see this issue probably until next year) I can extract how ethics is again knocking on OR&#8217;s door (and economics).
A new book has been published on this matter (ethics). Professor Ron Howard and Clint Korver, in Ethics for the real world, introduce us to the &#34;tricky&#34; way of [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ethics for the real world", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/08/11/ethics-for-the-real-world/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>When economics &#38; human rights collide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From previous posts (especially this one, and this one) someone couldn&#8217;t argue I&#8217;m a little bit liberal&#8230;, at least in an economics point of view. You need to state it quite right, since such a short word means something from social liberal (USA), to libdem (UK), or even center-right, or the pejorative term neocon (have [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "When economics &#38; human rights collide", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/08/08/when-economics-human-rights-collide/" });</script>]]></description>

&#160;
This won&#8217;t be as cryptic as it seems for those of you not aliens to Matrix universe. As Neo, I was 30 when decided to take the red pill. Sometimes I feel like I&#8217;m returning to Matrix&#8230;, but it&#8217;s just a nightmare; sometimes I wonder if I shouldn&#8217;t taken it and have had [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The Right Pill is Leftish&#8230;", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/07/13/the-right-pill-is-leftish/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had my private nightmare trying to explain&#8230;, well, better defend our poor &#8216;average&#8217;; it is most probably the most used and abused statistical measure, and is not always well employed. For starters, the biggest confussion between it and the &#8216;mean&#8217; in probabilistic contexts; then, some misunderstandings on the use of the &#8216;median&#8217;, an [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Poor &#8216;mean&#8217;&#8230;, just because is &#8216;average&#8217;", url: "http://blogs.kproductivity.com/fmwaves/2008/07/05/poor-mean-just-because-is-average/" });</script>]]></description>
